My family loves this campground! From the smiling faces checking you in and making sure you have everything you need to the amazing bath house with hot showers. This place checks all the boxes!

I love this place! Bathrooms are clean, the premises are clean and the lake is beautiful!!! There is a great MTB trail and hiking trail just outside the front gate! You do need to check for ticks periodically, but you are camping outside in woodsy area ... its expected!! Highly recommend!! Site 15 & 13 are one of our favs!

Spent the long weekend camping here at it was amazing. The campsites were clean, trash removed daily, clean bathrooms, and hot showers. The lake is gorgeous and not an alligator in sight. It is crystal clear and the fish swim around you. This is not specific to this campsite but I have found Ocala to be infested with ticks, so just be careful.

My husband and I absolutely loved this campground! The lake views were the best! Nice 1.2 mile hiking trail around the lake. Clean bathrooms with showers. It was pure happiness there! They offer wood, ice and stickers for sale. You can rent kayaks, canoes and paddle boards for rent. No electric and water pickets through out campgrounds. We meet the hosts Jerry & Tari, very nice people. We will definitely be back at this hidden gem!
