Default Salt Springs Recreation Area (FL)

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!!

Impressive!
It takes my wife and I that long for just the two of us.
You should start a new thread entitled "advice for camping with kids...everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask."

We just spent this past Friday, and Saturday night in the Salt Springs area at the FWC on 314 in the Ocala National Forest. We dry camped but cheated with our Yamaha generator. We were there for a traditional archery tournament and had a lot of fun even in all that heat. It was very humid too. I will look up your campground and check it out. We are there for tournaments three times a year but usually only camp there twice a year. We have camped there for the last 5 years with the TM and usually at least one person is curious about our TM but this year a LOT of people were interested.

Nice to know another TM'er was in the area.
