Davenport Landing Trailhead, Ocala National Forest

Cool little spot along the river. You take a forest road to get to it and I was able to get there easily in my 38yo adventure van. The trailhead had a turn around area but is a little tight (no trailers) continuing forward brings you to the camping area that had some deep ruts. You may want to be cautious in a 2wd vehicle. Ok first the trail: short .25 miles to an open area with a few signs next to the river. There is a sign in that area that says "trail".... if the exit is where I think it is, you don't want to go down it. Still cool little trail to the river. The other side (continuing forward) leads to three primitive camping sites next to the river. Cool spots all together!

We came here to boondock. Unless you have a four-wheel drive, I don't recommend it. The road is super sandy and rutted. But one cool thing it has an Indian burial ground. Although it's just a mound, I enjoyed reading the history of it.

Great place to get away! Until the circus moves in next to you with 15 screaming kids and one big lady yelling at the top of her lungs about threatening kids and a generator at a primitive campsite 😩 but otherwise it’s wonderful.

Peaceful and pretty spot on the river! Looks like a great spot for a large group for primitive camping! Fishing next time we go out there!

There were several lovely spots under the tree canopies, steps away from the river view. We were so stoked to have the place to ourselves. Had our dinner overlooking the river and by 8 pm, had the tent up. That’s when the trouble started... First it was an ATV with some kids. They came to smoke or something. Didn’t bother us. Then it was a sedan with loud music who parked right behind us, at this point 9pm and didn’t even care to be respectful that people were sleeping there. Left within 20 minutes. We thought about leaving but decided that perhaps this was all. But 10:30 there was an SUV with 4-5 people and a child. They were playing loud mu
