Love this campground as well. However, unlike, Cypress Glen Campground, (which is a hop, skip and a jump from one another), you don't get any cell signal. Keep that in mind when making reservations...

Recently refurbished campground operated by Florida Forest Service. Right on the lake with boat ramp also area for kayaks, canoes. Beautiful hiking trails along the lake and withlacoochee river. Right outside the park are several interconnected paved trails.

Beautiful, clean, campground with nice sites. If your lucky you can be right on the water. Hiking trail access right next to campgrond. Kayak/boat ramp. Bathrooms are the NICEST bathrooms I have EVER seen at a campground (with HOT shower and excellent water pressure). Sadly my only issue was this is right next to interstate 75. We did not know this till arriving. So needless to say you can hear a lot of traffic when outside or in a tent. If you are tent camping try Crooked River. It is in the same grounds but deeper in the woods.

Stellar campground for all. Spots are large and spacious with attention paid when they designed each spot. Not a single spot looks directly onto another, it gives the impression of more privacy and space. Lake is right there with easy to access bait launch. Road to the park of pretty bunny but not too bad. Clean restrooms and showers, and easy dump station.

Can we bring a small electric golf cart?

kristy dauberman | Aug 25, 2018
Cara Showers | Aug 25, 2018

It's a VERY small campground. Technically there's room for it, but not worth it, too me. It would take you all of about 2 minutes to walk (slowly) from one end of the campground to the other.

Is there a fire ring of sort at the camp sites

Idlblugras | Aug 25, 2018
djm jr | Aug 25, 2018

Each site has a fire ring, some of them have a grill built into them, but bring some tin foil to cover the grill if you cook because they are rusty, have fun!!!

How much is fire wood at site?

Stephanie Roland | Aug 25, 2018
djm jr | Aug 25, 2018

There is a house down the road from the park that sells firewood for $10 dollars per bundle. Probably need about 3-4 bundles to keep a good fire going all day long. Exit the campground after the ranger office and make a left (away from the highway) and the house is on the left about a mile down the road, there is a little firewood for sale sign on a tree by the entrance to the house so go slow. It's an honor system, put your money in the box and take your wood, and don't be a jerk. Have fun, such a great campground!! Sometimes there is a community firewood dump somewhere near the recreation area. People dump the firewood there when they leave because you cannot take it with you unless you brought it from home. There is some "donation" involved, but I have never had luck finding it, so I go to the house.. Support the locals!!
