Best Campgrounds near Sorrento, FL

We ended up Camping 1 weekend at this site. I called to make the reservation and reserve a plot.

The rep did give me a gate code and bathroom code. However, I'm not sure if you can "drive" to the campsite. None of the other campers had their cars near, and with the set up of Campsites, it's unclear where you would resononably park.

That being said, the bathrooms were clean and stocked, and while a bit of a distance, not terrible if you didn't wait to use them.

The firepits and grill provided are a bit old and rusted, so expect to use pots and pans and not the provided grill.

Our fire pit was a bit uneven, so we used metal stakes to level it.

We were pretty happy with the privacy, but to be honest, if other campers were present, we questioned how one would leave plot 6 and not walk through campsites 5 and 3.

So thankful for our host he is great as a host ,trys his best but he gets no help from frosest Rangers so good job Ed.hope to see you nest year

We love this place. The long and windy ride in gives you a trip back to some real Florida. The campground is well maintained and has large, level sites. We have stayed in site 1 and 11 and didn’t need blocks for either. Easy access to Richloam for some Jeeping in the woods.

If you’ve got one of those incredibly large mobile homes on wheels, then this particular RV location just off of Highway 414 near Hiawassee may just be the perfect spot for you. OK, there were a few tents here, but you could tell this place was really built for the mobile campers in mind. With 28 ample slanted, elongated parking lanes for your parking pleasure, all of the sites come equipped with the typical 30 / 50 amp electrical hook-ups, waste disposal and water connections. The bathrooms and shower facilities are clean and fairly well-maintained.

There’s the standard picnic table, garbage receptacles and even a community BBQ. The hosts are incredibly nice and offer pricing by the night, week and month. Overall, the community is inviting and friendly and there’s at times some planned activities, with most of those featuring horse shows and competitions of some sort, throughout the week (check with the front desk). While there’s not a ton of amenities to pick and choose from, this location does come with grills, park and shelter as well as all the free glimpses of horses being trained. Of course, should you be here with your noble steed, there’s some 22 miles worth of paths to gallup. Near this RV parking lot, you do have access to Lake Apopka.

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) The real draw to this particular campground is the massive equestrian infrastructure that exists as the fulcrum, so if you are camping, this can be a very nice distraction, in case you come here with the principle idea of racing / showing your horses, then this CG is ideal – and less so if you don’t have a horse and don’t want to camp alongside what could be considered a bit of a circus (especially on show days); (2) Should you grow tired of whipping up franks & beans again for supper and you wanna check out some local fare, you’re going to have to drive a bit north to South Apopka where there’s joints like The Nauti Lobstah, Verona Café, Lechonera Latina and Wings-N-Things; (3) In the event that you need to load up on supplies, there’s both a Sam’s Club and Walmart Supercenter due NE of here; and (4) For some really great hiking & biking, of course, there’s the West Orange Trail, but if you are looking for something a bit different and less trodden, then check out Oakland Nature Preserve, which sits south of Lake Apopka.

 Happy Camping!

Camp spots are big, flat with gravel parking areas. Power and water an each site for RV camping. Nicer (newer) bathrooms than most FL state parks. Our van is so small in our site.

This quiet camp is affordable and has complete hookups and canoe rentals. The hosts are very attentive and helpful. All the National Forest camps were full and the Outpost usually has an opening. This is old rural Florida, no glitz. We did a full day trip on the River. Lots of birds, alligators and very quiet and remote. GPS was misleading. The camp is located on the north side of the high bridge over the Oklawaha River on route 316.

The Oaks Inverness is an amazing hidden gem surrounded by grandfather Oaks and palms nestled near the banks of the withlacoochee River!! With ponds, Shaded lots, walking trail, pool house, clubhouse, all inclusive, 15 minutes from I-75, and near many attractions, you just can't beat what The Oaks Inverness has to offer!!

Great for overnight or visit to the area for a few days. We camped next to camp hosts. Mike & Helen were very nice. The young lady park ranger seemed a bit lacking in knowledge re: disabled veterans/persons. The other camp hosts began blowing sites off on both sides of us while we were packing up. They were loud gas powered leaf blower and she was 10 ft from me. It was blowing dirt and dust all around the site. They were doing the road in front of our site and the site next to us. I asked if they could wait a few minutes until we were done packing up. She shut it off, turned to her husband (who also had a blower) and said "too loud". I said I appreciated it very much, twice. They just walked away w/o responding. I mentioned it to the young lady ranger, and she just said they had to finish their job before a certain time. She didn't seem too concerned about disturbing campers. Roads were dirt and gravel and many sites were very tight. Site 7 was quite undeveloped. Thanks to Anderson levelers we were fine. 30 amp at our site. Lots of road noise, sirens. If all of the camp hosts were as considerate as Mike & Helen, would be nice.

East Toho RV Resort (name changed) was a great quick spot for me to stay overnight before an early morning meeting. I was able to check in late easily via a lock box and found a great campsite close to clean bathroom/shower facilities. While it was late and dark, the resort seemed very nice and affordable. I will would definitely be back!

This is a great location to get away from everything, without going far. It has nice, spread out spots, and plenty of activities if you are outdoorsy.

Nice level spots. Lots to around the state park.

This is primarily an RV campground. I’m a tent camper and felt like I was in an RV zoo. However, the facilities are very good with toilet/shower facilities. Electric and water at each site. Shady spacious sites. CG is patrolled by park rangers. Host has firewood for sale. Gate code required (comes with reservation). Best thing about this place is the surrounding area: lots of (walking only) trails but my favorite, the seemingly endless off roading sandy Jeep trails throughout this forest state park - lovely!

My boyfriend and I just camped here for 4 days. Weekends have a different vibe on the weekdays it’s quiet. Each campground has its primitive camp charm all come with a picnic table, parking spot, a wooden pole you can hang your garbage, and a water spout near by. Overall we had a great time it’s clean, there’s mosquitoes but that is Florida camping bring bug spray and keep the fire going helps. We’ll definitely be going back one day!

Situated in Ocala, this park offers a wonderful get away for bicycling, horseback riding, or hiking Great trails The park itself is open with few trees but an amazing host. Some long timers reside here.

We stayed in one of the mobile homes. It was not glamorous but was plenty adequate for our needs.

Sawmill Campground is not what it claims to be. The so-called "trails" are frequented by older men engaging in inappropriate activities in plain view, which is both disturbing and unhygienic. This kind of behavior fosters an environment that can promote the transmission of STDs, posing health risks to anyone who visits.

The overall quality of the patrons is less than appealing, and if you have any issues with management, don't expect professionalism. They will go to great lengths to deny problems and shift blame rather than address valid concerns.

Between the unsafe environment and the lack of accountability, this place is the definition of negligence. I strongly advise avoiding Sawmill Campground for your own safety and peace of mind.

Great camp site with just what you needed. It’s close to a power plant and railroad so you hear a lot of noise at night but was perfect for a one nighter
