GuideA “real Florida” campground originally built by the CCC. Sites are decent size with typical Florida flora between the sites for some privacy. 30 amp/water hookups on site. Roads are hard pack sand/gravel and not real smooth. A nice family campground for smaller size rigs. A playground accessible to most sites and classic bathhouse with showers is conveniently located. Lots of hiking trails. There’s an orange tree on my site!
GuideI liked this park it is large, lots to explore. We took our dog on her first camping trip and she was fantastic. I would like to go back without her though because I think I could hike better without her. There are a number of trails, but it rained for some of our stay so we getting get away from our camp too much. It was still lovely. I think a trip back is in order because we definitely didn’t experience all we would like to have experienced. We had our kayaks but since we had the dog we didn’t go. But I can see us returning for more adventures. We did walk over the suspension bridge, that was beautiful, a nice after the rain thing to do.
GuideSites have full hookups which is awesome for a state park. Also picnic tables, grills and a fire pit. The sites are big and relatively private. To visit the spring you can hike or drive. Being you camping receipt to get in free. Glass bottom boat tour is $15 for adults but there is a nice walking path and you can see manatees in the spring from the shore. The restaurant was nice, good pizza!
GuideSpent two nights here again. Sept. 27th and 28th. During the day time there were a lot of Love Bugs. My camping kitty loved chasing them. At night or at sun down I was bombarded with bugs. Even if I tried to attract them to a higher light and I was in the dark, didn't help. So this time of the year, sunset = go inside.
Also, the description above is wrong.
This dispersed camping area within Ocala National Forest DOES NOT provide water hookups, restrooms, and picnic tables along with standard amenities like trash service and campfire permissions.
The campground DOES NOT maintain water availability throughout the site and DOES NOT HAVE ANY clean restroom facilities.
Other than that, I will be back.
GuideSpent two nights here again. September 27th and 28th. This is a great dispersed camping area. You only need to know your limits with soft sand. During the day there were a lot of love bugs and the water was great. As soon as the sun sets, at this time of the year the bugs were terrible. Even if you tried to attract them up in the air with a Devos light you will be bombarded. Sunset = go inside. Other than the night time bugs, it's a great place. I will be back.
GuideGreat little spot, easy access to silver springs. Glass boat tour was cool - just the right amount of cruising time before little ones breaking points! Ice cream afterwards of course and good local pizza joint.
ScoutI love this campground very clean and has nice big sites.
GuideGoing when it’s super hot turned out to be a great idea! It was lovely to get into the cool water every afternoon and cool right off. We enjoyed paddle boarding also and seeing the alligators, fish and turtles. Had a great time!
GuideReading the reviews, people are confused. The east side of Lake Dorr is DISPERSED CAMPING. This dispersed camping area within Ocala National Forest does NOT provide water hookups, restrooms, or picnic tables and does NOT have standard amenities like trash service and campfire permissions.There are two Lake Dorr camping areas. The west side of Lake Dorr is called Lake Dorr Campground. The east side of Lake Dorr is Ocala National Forest Lake Dorr DISPERSED CAMPING. There are NO amenities here. There is soft sand ares due to the ATV use. Spent 4 nights here with no problems.

Wildlife viewing at Paynes Prairie: Explore eight trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding across this diverse wetland ecosystem. "We saw wild horses, bisons, snakes and gators. Great for fishing and kayaking," notes Brenda S. from Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park Campground.
Kayaking the springs: Paddle the crystal-clear waterways at Silver Springs, where underwater visibility extends 30+ feet. "The glass bottom boat tour is an absolute must, we had such a wonderful time and the boat captain had lots of interesting information," shares Carlos R. from Silver Springs State Park Campground.
Overnight fishing trips: Access Orange Lake directly from waterfront sites for bass and crappie fishing. "Great place to stay. Layed back atmosphere. Small campground right on a lake. The lake is natural and undisturbed," explains Shawn from Sportsman's Cove Resort.
Private wooded sites: Many campgrounds offer secluded camping spots with natural buffers between neighbors. "The sites are big and have plenty of space between them," notes Carlos R. about Silver Springs State Park.
Natural springs access: Several area campgrounds provide direct access to Florida's famous spring systems. "Campsites are well spaced in the woods, with plenty of room. The location is great for visiting the prairie and easy access to Gainesville," says Joe R. about Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park Campground.
Communal facilities: Shared outdoor kitchens and gathering spaces enhance the camping experience. "Outdoor kitchen and shower both with hot water! Flush toilets. Adorable tiny cabin rental is available," reports Donna B. from Grateful Hammock.
Bug preparation: Florida's humid climate supports mosquitoes year-round, particularly near water. "Nice campground. Clean and well maintained. Very shady site, but tons of mosquitoes. We went in late October," warns Lauren W. about Paynes Prairie.
Cell service limitations: Most rural campgrounds have limited connectivity. "Terrible phone service," notes Rebecca H. about Sportsman's Cove Resort.
Pet restrictions on trails: Despite being pet-friendly, many campgrounds limit where dogs can go. "The biggest disappointment for this state park is that all of the things they advertise (and I was looking forward to) - bison, horses, wildlife - are all on trails where pets are not allowed," explains Denise from Paynes Prairie.
Bathroom facilities vary: Quality and cleanliness of facilities differ significantly between campgrounds. "The bathrooms were awful! They need an update, a paint job, something. A deep clean would be good too," reports Cynthia K. about Lake Waldena Resort.
Look for swimming areas: Several campgrounds offer designated swimming spots for kids. "Lovely Park with lots of wildlife!! La Chua trail was beautiful and we saw lots of gators. We did the Ranger led hike which was really nice, my 5 year old struggled to keep up with the Ranger," shares Lindsey H. from Paynes Prairie.
Free water activities: Some resorts include complimentary water equipment with your stay. "Free to use kayaks and water sports, my son learned how to ride a bicycle for the first time today with one of their bicycles! The lake was really a joy to swim on, the kids were in it all day," describes Dayanis P. from Lake Waldena Resort.
Educational opportunities: Look for ranger-led programs that teach kids about local wildlife. "Plenty of hiking to be found. Buffalo, deer, eagles, alligators, owls....Visit Sweetwater," suggests Jenn B. about Paynes Prairie.
Site spacing considerations: Some campgrounds offer more room between sites than others. "Large sites with ample separation from your neighbors. I am a native Floridian and this is the real deal. This is a quiet park w a lot of nature," notes Jody O. about Silver Springs State Park.
Full hookup availability: Multiple campgrounds offer complete services for RVs. "Two days before travel were able to get 2 nights in a pull thru site w full hook up," reports Jody O. about Silver Springs State Park.
Accessibility challenges: Many older Florida parks have tight access for larger rigs. "Older Florida park with roots in the CCC and Forestry Service. Magnolia loop would be the best loop for RVs, but spots can be had. Sites vary in size and level. Separation between sits is not bad but suffered in hurricane damage. Some sites appear a bit tight with overhanging trees," advises Chris A. from O'Leno State Park.
