Ocean Pond Campground
About
National Forest
Ocean Pond hosts more than 100,000 visitors annually. The two-mile wide lake has a shallow, sandy beach and facilities for fishing, picnicking, hiking, restrooms, fire rings and picnic tables. Ocean Pond is a favorite for boaters and skiing enthusiasts. A public boat launch and a 67-site campground attracts visitors from many parts of the country. The early bird gets the worm! Come early for lakeshore camping. Nineteen sites have electric and water hook-ups, 27 have water hook ups and there are twenty primitive sites. Water and electric are paved spurs with a 50-foot capacity. Each site has a lantern post, picnic table, fire ring and convenient access to bathrooms and hot showers. Campers can enjoy the boat launch and swimming area. If you are interested in day-use activities, the Olustee Beach has full bathrooms with showers, beach, boat launch, fishing pier, trails and picnic areas. The Great Florida Birding Trail and the Florida National Scenic Trail pass through the campground. Motor boats and trailers can be kept in the boat trailer parking across from the boat ramp. Ocean Pond is just four miles away from the Olustee Battlefield Park, site of Florida's only Civil War battle in 1864. The Olustee Battle Festival and Re-enactmentis held annually in Lake City. The campground is located approximately 1 hour from the First Coast Atlantic beaches and a short half-hour to multiple State Parks, local springs and caves.

Nice at first - disappointing at last
One star for the lake, another star for the forest. You fill out a letter and leave your money in a box. You can choose between 12$ (primitive), 20$ (water) and 30$ (e/w) sites, which is actually cool, would the host not close most of the sites for „contractors“, who never arrived. They block about 10 sites for whoknowswho which is a shame. Nobody arrived on any of those closed sites for all the days we were there. The bathrooms were the worst we have seen in Florida especially the showers. The ones in our bathhouse were completely closed. and the host called Mark is that type of unfriendly guy with a huge dog you don’t want a discussion with. Just poorly maintained, plastic flying around in the forest, just no love there. Another host called Don was friendly.
