Nice Campground

This is a very well kept campground unless you are looking at a hosts site. Host sites are very cluttered and messy. This really brings down the look of this campground. The spring area stays well kept and the boat ramp is convenient. There is a Marina but you have to leave the campground to get to it. Full hookups at every RV site and primitive tent camping has potable throughout. I paid $32 with my national parks access pass.

Beautiful!

This is a beautiful, small campground with 15 campsites most of which are waterfront. I stayed in site 11 that was positioned so I had a magnificent view of the lake and the little gator that lived at the waters edge. I paddled my inflatable kayak around lake Carlton and the adjoining lake that has the boat ramp. I launched directlyfrom my campsite. At less than $18 a night with water and electric and a dump station on the way out, I will absolutely be back to this beautiful place

Beautiful!

This is an absolutely beautiful small campground surrounded by water and huge oak trees with Spanish moss. There are birds and little alligators so abundant wildlife. It is very quiet and inexpensive. I only paid $36 for two nights. It is near a beautiful little town called Mount Dora which has a bunch of shops and nice restaurants. There is a park around every corner. Needless to say, I loved my visit to Trimble Park!

No control

All sites must be reserved online. Not all sites are level or long enough to accommodate bigger rigs. If you have a problem with your site the front office will tell you that there is nothing that they can do about it. You will have to forfeit your money and reserve a different site online. There is tons of shade and everything is paved. The springs are beautiful and kayaking is peaceful. There is a great off-road 20 mile bike loop trail directly across the road from the entrance.

Wilderness

This is a great free camping area in the Florida wilderness. Plenty of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. The Florida trail is nearby.

Amazing skyline

This is boondocking. The camp host is an amazing guy. Super friendy and very informative about the local area. The local general store has almost everything you need, including fresh water at 10¢ a gallon. The skyline is spectacular at any time of day but the night sky was breathtaking! 5⭐

Loved it

My campsite was a little small but it was right on Cherokee Lake. A lot of permanent residence that are there during the season and I was there offseason so not a lot of people. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Not my favorite.

The roads going into the state park and the roads in the campgrounds themselves are very rough.
