Best Campgrounds near Spring Hill, FL

Spring Hill in Florida has several good camping options within driving distance for families and campers. You can find Hillsborough River State Park Campground about 30 miles away, where hiking trails and exercise stations keep everyone active. Fort De Soto Campground gives you beachfront sites with good shade and plenty of space between campsites. You'll need to make reservations at both places, especially in spring and fall when they fill up fast. Try to book a few months ahead to get a spot since these campgrounds are popular. Some sites give you more privacy than others, depending on where you end up. Both places have basic amenities like restrooms, picnic areas, and playgrounds that work well if you're bringing kids. Summer gets really hot here, so pack extra water and sunscreen. Winter camping is much more comfortable with milder temperatures. Fort De Soto lets you bring dogs, which is great if you camp with pets. You'll see lots of wildlife and plants native to Florida while staying at these campgrounds. Just remember that hurricane season (June through November) might cause some closures. While camping, take some time to check out nearby beaches and nature areas. Spring Hill's nearby campgrounds work well for short trips or longer stays, with something for most camping styles.

    Belle Parc RV Resort

    Belle parc is a very relaxing campground

    So check in was easy and the ladies at the front office where amazing and very hospitable. We were shown to our campsite by a very nice gentleman. He even helped us back in and hook up. As for the stay it’s been very relaxing and quiet. The shower houses are awesome. We backed up to one of the lakeside areas where the fishing was excellent. We were Also located next to a pool and it was very clean with limited activity from other guest. Would definitely recommend to stay again.

    Upper Hillsborough Water Management Area

    Very quiet and peaceful

    We were the only ones there for the weekend, probably because of the summer heat. However, it was nice and free. There is a porta-potty, but I didn’t check it out, so I’m not sure about the cleanliness. The grounds were nicely maintained, though. I do wish the fire rings weren’t so damaged, and the lack of trash cans was surprising. Just take your trash with you, leave no trace, and it was an enjoyable and free experience!

    Sundance Lakes RV Resort

    They don't care about their residents!

    I lived in this park full-time for 2½ years when Hurricane Helene submerged it under 3½ feet of water. The damage left the park without power for months, forcing us to move out and causing tremendous expenses. During that time, the park made no effort to assist or support the residents in any way. 

    When I applied for FEMA assistance, I was told I needed a simple letter from the park confirming the extended power outage. They refused to provide it, even though it would have cost them nothing and could have helped residents like me recover some of our losses. 

    Instead of showing compassion or accountability, they chose to do nothing. The staff at this park are unprofessional, unhelpful, and unwilling to take responsibility. It was a deeply disappointing experience, and I would never recommend living here.

    No longer for Camping

    This site no longer permits camping from my experience. I did camp there one night and nobody said anything but upon camping the second night I was told it’s no longer a public campground. Other than that it was a beautiful place.
