Camping options near Spring Hill include both commercial RV resorts and more rustic settings with varying levels of shade and wildlife viewing opportunities.
What to do
Kayaking at Crystal River: Located about 30 minutes from Spring Hill, Encore Crystal Isles offers direct water access. "Close to Three Sisters Springs where you can kayak with the Manatees," notes one camper. The park also provides pontoon boat rentals for those wanting to explore the waterways.
Fishing opportunities: Several parks offer fishing access right from the property. At Camper's Holiday, you'll find "dock fishing" among the amenities. One camper at Crystal Isles mentioned, "There is a small pond" with "Alligators" visible from safe viewing areas, adding wildlife viewing to your fishing experience.
Local attractions: The Weeki Wachee area has unique entertainment options. "It's close to the Weeki Wachee Springs Park for the Mermaid show or kayaking down the river," reports a visitor to Cody's RV Park. Most attractions are within 10-20 minutes of Spring Hill campgrounds.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness stands out in reviews. At Camper's Holiday, campers appreciate the "very clean bathrooms with showers and laundry." Another camper noted their pool is "pretty big, it is almost brand new, and has all the pool noodles you will ever need."
Quiet atmosphere: Several parks offer peaceful settings despite being near busy areas. One camper at Big Oaks RV Resort described it as a "nice, quiet rv park. Close to amenities but still has a feel of off the beaten path." The tranquility makes these parks good options for longer stays.
Spacious sites: Site dimensions vary significantly between parks. "We had no issue getting our 36' 5th wheel in and had tons of room to park our truck," reported a visitor to Camper's Holiday. Some parks feature concrete pads with full hookups, while others provide more basic setups.
What you should know
Seasonal population shifts: Winter brings significant changes to RV parks in Spring Hill. A visitor to Encore Topics RV Resort noted the park has "very nice neighbors" but mentioned "no one in the office in the weekends" which can complicate late arrivals or weekend issues.
Park layouts and accessibility: Many parks have older, narrower roads that can challenge larger RVs. "The entrance is a bit tight and tricky. The smaller of the two are for the RVs. Most sites are as snug as the road you travel on as you menuver through the park to your site," explained one camper about Encore Clover Leaf Forest RV Resort.
Internet connectivity: Wi-Fi quality varies significantly between parks. At Camper's Holiday, one camper reported "there is 50+mb/s WiFi" while cellular reception also differs by location. Having backup connectivity options is recommended for remote workers.
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: For families with children, pools are essential amenities during hot Florida months. Crystal Isles RV Resort received praise for its facilities: "They have a great pool, hot tub, clubhouse area" and "facilities were great. Pool was amazing as was the playground."
Recreation options: Parks offer varying levels of recreational amenities. Cody's RV Park features unique attractions according to one camper: "The campground is scattered with tons of statues and random buildings built up with dinosaurs and even a real helicopter," providing interesting exploration for kids.
Space considerations: Some parks offer more room for children to play than others. A camper at Clover Leaf Forest noted "We are staying here for 2 weeks and although it's your typical Florida park with tight spots and tons of permanents, it's also very quaint. Our neighbors are wonderful and the staff is friendly."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: When booking at Encore Winter Quarters Pasco, consider your site location carefully. "Sites have cement slabs most have double cement slabs which keeps everything nice and clean," reported one RVer, making setup easier and cleaner compared to sand or gravel sites common at other parks.
Parking challenges: Maneuvering large rigs requires planning at many Spring Hill area parks. One RVer at Winter Quarters Pasco explained: "I had a very difficult time parking my 37' foot travel trailer. If someone is parked across from you, you basically are stuck."
Utility connections: Hookup quality varies between parks. At Cody's RV Park, one camper mentioned they stayed "in the very back of the park. Very quiet and had electricity and water hook ups." Most Spring Hill area RV parks offer full hookups, though amperage options and water pressure can differ significantly.
