Ocala National Forest's Bluff Landing sits at the end of a sand road that requires 4WD for larger rigs. The three official sites are compact and have seen consistent trash left by visitors, though some campers have taken it upon themselves to clean up. Cell signal is minimal. A creek runs through the area with a rope swing and zip line, and the water runs clear. Road conditions have damaged at least one large RV attempting access, so trailers are better left at the parking area just past the camping turnoff. Among the campgrounds near Ocala National Forest, this free site with electric and water hookups draws off-road riders and campers who want dispersed-style access without a fee. It suits self-sufficient campers comfortable with rough roads and minimal infrastructure.
Description
This primitive camping area above 52 Landing provides three tent sites and easy access to Alexander Run.
