Webster, Florida serves as a gateway to a mix of developed campgrounds and primitive sites, particularly around the Withlacoochee State Forest. Campground options in this central Florida region include established sites like River Junction Campground, which provides tent camping along the Little Withlacoochee River, and Silver Lake Campground, which accommodates both tent and RV campers. The area contains several natural water features that attract campers, with most campgrounds offering convenient access to I-75 while maintaining natural surroundings characterized by oak trees and diverse wildlife habitats.
The Withlacoochee State Forest campgrounds typically provide water hookups and toilets, with some locations offering electric hookups and dump stations for RVs. Road conditions can vary significantly, particularly at River Junction Campground where primitive access roads may present challenges during wet weather. Most tent and RV sites in the region require reservations through state forest systems, though some areas maintain first-come, first-served options. Summer brings higher temperatures and humidity, while winter offers more comfortable camping conditions. A camper noted, "The road in called SW 113 ST was hardcore off road muddy driving. We pay for the sites so the road in could have been a lot less treacherous. Potholes all the way to the site."
Several visitors highlight the natural setting and water access as primary attractions. Camping areas like Crooked River and Cypress Glen offer spaces under mature oak trees providing welcome shade during Florida's warmer months. Sumter Oaks RV Park receives consistent mentions for its wildlife viewing opportunities and green spaces. "The park is very well kept and staff were wonderful. All of our neighbors were very friendly as well, this park really has a great community vibe," reported one reviewer. Seasonal variations affect water levels in the river systems, with one visitor explaining that "Late spring into summer river is high and fast. This time of year low and slow. By March/April its really low." Sites along water features typically fill quickly during peak periods, while more secluded forest locations may offer greater privacy but fewer amenities.

Roads are rough, Bathrooms are clean, host seemed like a good guy. Here during off season but the beach looked like fun
Sites 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!
Zephyrhills colony has new Management. It's like a breath of fresh air.A weight is lifted from our shoulders of constant harassment and being hawked at on a daily basis. The parking pads are beautiful.The construction crew did an excellent job and the yellow stripes on the roads are amazing.We are so thankful for this improvement in our park that we can be proud and happy at once and for all. I thank God for answered prayer personally.Now I can breathe now.I can live amen
It has a little of everything you would enjoy about this type of outside camp ground. Has hiking and biking trails. Of course the beautiful water that stays 72 degrees all year long.
Exercise caution with this reservation. The website says pet friendly but only after you reserve the site do they make you aware of pet size limit and breed restrictions. And your reservation is not refundable.
Spent 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.
Spent 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.
This is an excellent, quiet campground conveniently near the Chassahowitzka River Boat Ramp. It's incredibly cool and shady, so valuable in Florida. Sites are level and trees well trimmed. As newer RVers, I'd point to spots 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, and 20 as among the easiest back-in spots, as you can utilize the turn of the driveway to get straightened up better. All of these spots also are shady and private. The campground was quiet on the weekend we visited, but during high season, sites 19, 20 and 48 (pull through) are among those offering the most privacy from neighbors.
Regarding the boat ramp access: take note, the ramp is easily accessible from the campground but not "walking distance" if you are carrying a kayak. You will either need to drive your boat(s) down or rent. Parking fee is $5 vehicle only/$7 vehicle plus boat trailer, and you can access the spot before business hours and pay the fee in cash in the Honor System box on the side of the boat house. The Chassahowitzka is a gorgeous, spring-fed, clear-water river, a true gem in Florida, and just gorgeous for observing fish and birds. The place gets busy on weekends, so arrive early.
We loved our stay and this camp is on our "must return" list!

All the sites are cut out so that you have some privacy from the neighboring sites. There are a couple of sites that you can't reserve, first come first serve, pay in cash at the iron ranger. Site 1 is that way and you could paddle into it. 14 and 16 can be reserved and also paddled into."
Wildlife viewing: The forests and wetlands around Webster host diverse wildlife year-round. At Sumter Oaks RV Park, "This is a visually nice park with a lot of shade, full hook ups, showers and laundry. The big downside is the road is heavily trafficked in the morning by construction type dump trucks. Not bad overall, staff and other campers were friendly which is always a plus. Lots of wildlife and a farm next door with goats and donkeys."
Seasonal river experiences: Water levels change dramatically throughout the year at campsites near Webster, Florida. "We went here after our Hog Island stay this place is pretty nice.
