ScoutThe facilities were very clean but no room in between campers and most look like seasonal. No trees or bushes for shade or privacy. Kids all over in golf carts and scooters. Would not come back again.
ScoutWARNING: DO NOT STAY HERE. Absolute Slum Conditions & Toxic Management. If I could give Lakeside Haven RV Resort negative stars, I would. Do not be fooled by the beautiful pictures they post online—those are from years ago when the park first opened. Today, this place is a neglected, hazardous dump run by a toxic, completely unprofessional management team. We moved in on December 27th, renting a lot and an 18-foot camper for $750/month. We were assured it was "move-in ready." That was a blatant lie. On our first day, I opened the fridge/freezer combo, and hundreds of German cockroaches fell out of it like Niagara Falls. It required three separate bug bombs just to make the place semi-livable. On top of that, Mario, the manager, left a whole turkey in the freezer that thawed out and leaked putrid turkey juices all over the appliance. There was also absolutely no hot water because the water heater had a massive crack in it. It leaked so severely that it saturated the floor, causing the kitchen floor to visibly sag. When they finally came to "fix" the water heater, they smashed a massive hole in the side of the camper and just left it wide open. Because of their negligence, my cat escaped, and my girlfriend and I spent three agonizing days waiting for him to return. Thankfully, he did. The windows were also broken and just covered with cardboard and tape, and the sink was completely backed up because the previous tenant had dumped a hoard of pennies down the drain. When I confronted the manager, Mario, about these biohazards and structural failures, he didn't offer to fix them immediately. Instead, he coldly offered a refund. He knew exactly what he was doing—he put us in a position where we either had to live in a roach-infested, broken camper or be homeless. We had to stay and watch them take their sweet time doing bare-minimum repairs. When anyone has a legitimate issue with the park, Mario gets incredibly rude, nasty, and aggressive. If you express how unhappy you are with the conditions, management's official response is literally: "Don't like it? Move." Management is rarely even on-site—maybe once or twice a month—but they sure know how to cause drama. They constantly spread lies around the park claiming we weren't paying our bills, which is defamation. We have every single receipt proving we have paid on time, every single month. Furthermore, the utility situation is a massive rip-off. There is only one meter for the entire park. Management leaves the lights on and the AC blasting at 68 degrees constantly in common areas, and because of the single meter, the tenants are forced to split the bill for their energy waste. You are also paying out of pocket for "amenities" like a laundry room that should be covered. The park looks like absolute shit. The boat dock is in such disrepair it will literally ruin your boat if you try to use it. Worse than the infrastructure is the total lack of safety. They will let anyone move in here, including active drug users and people with violent, dangerous criminal records. To give you an idea of how dangerous this place is, I accidentally butt-dialed the police once. When the cop arrived, he literally told me that they get so many emergency calls for this park—ranging from domestic abuse to drug issues—that they are forced to come out and physically verify everyone is okay, even for a confirmed accidental dial. The police are fully aware of how awful this place is. There is also zero confidentiality. Management acts friendly to get your money, but once you are locked in, they treat you like garbage and spread your personal business. They literally told brand-new tenants intimate, private medical details about a resident living here with cancer. It is deeply disrespectful, unethical, and disgusting behavior. They trap you, lie about you, neglect the property, and treat you like absolute shit. For the love of God, stay the hell away from Lakeside Haven RV Resort and Mario.
TravelerFirst time at this State Forest campground/park and it was quiet, accessible, and had all the amenities needed for a nice weekend get away. The bathrooms are a little less modern than expected, but they do have a shower which does get hot within seconds. The iron smell is very notable in the water, however.
RangerThis is a really nice campground surrounded by beautiful nature. The bathhouse is a little older, but still fine. The area itself is really impressive though, with lots of wildlife all around. If you take a short walk, you’ll find a spot with a water view and tons of seating areas — a really beautiful place to relax. For the price, you honestly can’t complain. There are quite a lot of insects at night, so bringing good bug spray is definitely a good idea. But for our one-night stay, it was absolutely worth it.
RangerWe also only stayed here for one night, but we really enjoyed this campground. The campsites are very large and spacious, and the surrounding trees give you a decent amount of privacy. The bathhouse was very clean, and the showers were especially nice because they were big and roomy, which made them really comfortable to use. The only small downside is that there were only two showers available, at least on the men’s side. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here.
TravelerSwam in the beautiful springs and camped overnight in the tropical site loop
GuideMy wife and I are brand new to rving as of May, 1st of 2026. So with that being said, this is our first campgrounds we have ever stayed at rving. Check in was extremely quick and easy took less than five minutes. Being a first time rver, the spot I was given made it nice and easy to back into. I have a 39 foot class, A motorhome, and I fit with no problem and a car. Our spot was in the back of the park, and there was plenty of grass and field to walk my dog. The field behind us also has benches that you can sit down and relax and enjoy the sunset or there's a farm not too far behind, which has cows that come to the fence. I have a 50 amp, hook up and sewer and water were all provided in my spot and they were easy to connect. This place has plenty of amenities, like miniature golf, shuffleboard, horse shoes, a pool, a basketball hoop, a pool table in the clubhouse and games and books you can read. Our stay was for twenty one days and it was a zero cost because of our membership to Thousand Trails camping club. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here for a short stay or a longer one.
ScoutIt started that even though we had a reservation and called ahead, we had to wait 20 minutes for someone to get there to give us our site number. The place is full of long term residents, and many of them were very unkempt. We smelled marijuana the entire time. Lastly, when i went to use the restroom right before we left, it was locked and a sign in the door said to get a key from the office, which was a several minute walk away, but the office wasn’t open. Fortunately we were only there one night
TravelerOverall, an excellent campground found that all amenities are here. Electrical water power added extras are a very nice swimming pool and spa and it is on the on the Swanee river

"Great access to trails," says Katrina about Santos Trailhead & Campground.

Clear springs for swimming: The region's springs provide natural swimming opportunities with consistent water temperatures. A visitor to Rainbow Springs State Park Campground reports: "The campground is ok - nice wooded sites, but not as much privacy between sites as we have been spoiled by in other FL state parks. We did one of the only trails you can take your dog on (the Lake Trail) and drove over to the ecopassage observation boardwalk site."
Lakefront camping locations: Several campsites near Reddick provide direct lake access. "This campground is mostly seasonal campers but we didn't feel out of place. The sites were big and paved. The pool was refreshing and the restaurant was delicious with water views," notes Michelle C. from Grand Lake RV & Golf Resort.

Glass-bottom boat tours: These provide a unique way to see underwater features without getting wet. "Just a beautiful state park, with that old Florida feel. The glass bottom boat tour is an absolute must, we had such a wonderful time and the boat captain had lots of interesting information. We have a 4 year old and a 10 year old and they both really enjoyed the boat tour also," shares Carlos R. from Silver Springs State Park Campground.
Campgrounds with pools: Several camping areas offer swimming pools as alternatives to natural water features. A visitor to Wild Frontier RV Resort shares: "Perfect for a 1 night stop.

Water pressure considerations: High water pressure can damage RV plumbing without regulators. One RVer at Wild Frontier notes: "Water pressure is very high so have a water regulator. We had to turn it down from 60+ lbs to around 20 flow and 40 no flow pressure. Power is stable."
Site surface variations: Understanding pad construction helps with setup. "Sites have paved pads but most are not level. WiFi very spotty. Springs are nice," explains Sue G. about Salt Springs Recreation Area.
