What others are saying about this campground
Enjoy the beauty of the Ocala National Forest with its Spanish moss-covered trees, stunning views of the prairie, and peaceful breezes. All sites have a drive up pad, picnic table, and firepit. There are good walking trails and dog-friendly areas. Fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities abound. The campground is accessible via a dirt fire road off FL-19, and is mostly hard packed with some soft spots and holes, but good enough for hauling a trailer when dry. There is a hand pump for water (non-potable) and pit toilets. ATVs and generators are allowed, making it a great spot for those looking for an active camping experience. However, it can be noisy and busy during peak times, so it is best to visit during the off season or midweek if possible.
