Lake Shore Group Campground - Ocala National Forest

It's a nice secluded campsite. Large camping area, pavilion, picnic tables, fire pit, grills, bear boxes for food storage and trash, access to an amazing little lake.

Those who use it for free have destroyed this place. Also expect gate combo issues with no one to contact about the problem. Original Review: Lake Shore never disappointing. This is one of the very few group sites in Florida that has swimming, accommodates pets, and you don't share the restroom with anyone else. Camp hosts are always friendly (a

This site is by reservation only, minimum 2 nights. It's perfect for small parties, family gathering and camping. Parking for up to 15 cars, lake access for kayaks and swimming (boat ramp located at fore lake). Bathrooms and showers located in a small building. There's no electrical outlets (bring a generator if needed), but there's water, grills, picnic tables, fire pit and plenty of space to play!
