A quirky little place. The positive is that the sites, especially around the outside loop, are spaced nicely and private. It’s not a bad drive to Crystal River or Ocala. The bathroom, although not particularly convenient to the sites, is newly remodeled. And there are biking and hiking trails right at the campground. However the layout is somewhat funky and the road noise is bad. I suggest a site as far from the road as possible, 3 seemed like the best site to me. Also, this is now a Florida state park, but you wouldn’t know it. Seems a bit of an identity crisis between the state park, state forest and greenway that goes by here.

An old school typical Florida state park. It is located in the middle of an urban area, yet feels really remote. It is older, but the bath houses are immaculate, the showers are hot and have great water pressure and it’s apparent the volunteers and camp hosts take great pride in keeping it that way. There are daily activities (which we did not do), and several trails right from the campground that we hiked. The beaches, stores and crowds are all nearby if you want that stuff.

The sites are huge, although the concrete pads are not. They let you park whatever way you want to maximize your experience. Although there are no hookups, the showers and bath houses were fine. We loved our time there. It’s quiet (when people aren’t running their generators), and wasn’t buggy for us. We were in site 92 and happy with it. We drove to Flamingo, 35 miles down the road, and there were tons of mosquitoes there. We were super happy we were at LPK.

The remodel they have done here is fantastic. The place is beautiful, clean, and really well landscaped. The pool area and beach are both nice. We kayaked right from the dock. It’s pretty pricey, but all the amenities are there. (We we’re really happy we were no where near the construction.)

This is all about location. The sites themselves are tight and no view. But the park is pretty. We were there when the weather wasn’t good, so we missed out on boat tours and snorkeling, but still enjoyed the park and the views.

I’m surprised by the negative reviews. Although this park was somewhat out of the way, we thought it was quiet and enjoyable. We had a nice site with plenty of room. Most sites were taken but everyone was really nice, not loud or anything. We enjoyed walking around the park and seeing some cool wildlife. Not really any wifi at the sites, but sometimes that’s fine with us!

A nice state park woodsy feel for sure. Our site was quite sandy and a bit unlevel after some rain, but it worked. We were able to walk from our site on some nearby trails and explore around the park. A fun few days.

A great stop right off the highway. Super nice staff, easy in and out (make sure you pay attention to the left turn in past the gas station). Not the roomiest of sites, but fine for what we needed. We stayed an extra day to stock up on groceries and also enjoyed the Mexican restaurant in walking distance.

The pros… beautiful mostly waterfront sites. A fair amount of space between, some better than others. A super clean and peaceful campground with laundry. We loved our site, 73, and our row. Although we walked the whole campground, and maybe other areas are a bit more spread out, we thought our row was the best location.

The cons… our row gets pretty windy if there is wind, which did, at times, affect sitting outside and having a fire. Some driveways have a steep decline, although the spots look level. We thought if we ended up with some, we might have bottomed out. Also some sites are buddy sites with back to back hookups.

Pro/con depending… the campground is about 25-30 minutes from anywhere. So if you need groceries, or wanna go do something other than just enjoy the lake, fish and chill, it’s a haul.

Overall, we loved it and would definitely stay again.

Although the roads were windy, they were doable (truck with 28 foot trailer. The sites are nicely spaced and private. The bathhouse and laundry were clean. The trails around the park were great too, we spent two days doing various routes around the park. The nearest town is about 15 minutes down the hill but has everything. The downside, if you want to call it that, was zero service at our site. We could get enough to check messages at other places within the park though. Overall, A great little state park.

A great little private campground in a beautiful area. The owners are so nice and the campground is about the cleanest and most well maintained we have been to. The sites can be a little tighter than we like or are used to, but worth it for the quality.

A pretty place with good hiking. The campground was fine, but the sites were too close for a state park atmosphere. We had a premium site, but I’m not sure I would have called it that. There was quite a variation among the sites, so know what you’re getting. Also, apparently on M-Th there is no one to check you in and we had to go to the visitors center, which is a mile away and was quite crowded. Not great when pulling a trailer.

We loved our stay here. A pretty typical NP campground. Nice wooded sites, fairly spaced. We had a pull through, there were lots of both, in all different sizes and shapes. Some spots were definitely better than others. Ours was tricky to get into (a pretty big curve on the driveway), but once we set up it was great. We didn’t use the bath house, but did do laundry at the camp store, which was nice. The location of the campground is close to all the nearby hiking and cave tours, but away from the crowds. Town is quite a ways away, so we were happy to be up in the park. No hookups and no T-Mobile service at all.

Although we agree with the other reviews, this park needs some updating, we enjoyed our time here. The location can’t be beat for exploring this part of the bourbon trail. Our site, #22, worked for us. We did see that some sites had funky and inconvenient water and electric hookups. But the website is good on that, look closely. The park was pretty empty and there wasn’t much presence of a camp host, even though one appeared to be there. And our fire pit had a bunch of trash and glass in it (why are we seeing that so often these days?!?). We would stay here again if in the area.

Loved this park! Nice, spacious sites. Clean and well maintained bathrooms and showers. Wonderful, well marked hiking trails. And very nice camp hosts. Seriously everything you need!

A very quiet campground in a great location. We were in an electric only site in Loop C. Water is filled at the faucet by the bath house and easy enough to do with a long hose. The bathrooms were fairly clean, but we were forgiving knowing the camp hosts were in short supply and working very hard. We did get a little warm water in the shower. The dump station was disgusting though, even though they charge $7 for it (on the honor system even for campers). It wouldn’t take much to hose that down (but the campers also shouldn’t be so careless and gross). There is zero cell or internet anywhere we could find and had to go a few miles away to the visitors center to check messages. The location of the campground was great for all kinds of hiking nearby. Overall we had a nice 5 days and would stay again.
