We highly recommend the Salt Springs Recreation Area Campground. We decided (on the spur of the moment) to head out on Saturday morning and we got a great site and enjoyed our "one night adventure." The sites are part of a "rolling green," with few trees and a lot of "neighbor" interaction, but very clean, orderly and quiet.

This campground is part of the USDA/Ocala National Forest group and is equipped with electric/water/sewer at many of the sites (all for $26/night). (It was a privately held campground, but when the owners died their children gave it to the USDA.) You also get access to Salt Springs (which runs $5.50/person for day passes)---and you all should know, Florida Springs are the BEST!!

We haven't yet "graduated" to boondocking with our 4 young children (ages 5, 4, 2 and 9months). We will, but until then, this will be a great place to visit for a quick night away in our rolling home! That is, if we get back anytime soon! Daddy tells the kids that we have too many more places to see/explore!!

On a side note, we are LOVING having the TM in the garage and equipped with everything that we need to "hit the road" in a moment's notice. In fact, on Saturday morning, we made the decision to go and were on the road in 2 hours flat!! With many young kids, that is a miracle!! We credit this site for giving us the direction to plan/pack efficiently and know what/how to get going--QUICK!

Happy Camping!!
