One of my favorites places to camp primitive. No potable water no power no problem- Generator ok from 8 am to 8 pm. Pets on leashes only. 3 fire rings and tables. 3 mi from SR 471. Kayak or canoe on the Withlacoochee River. Beware of large gators.
Great place to camp, but bring your own toilet as the porta-let was horrible worse than what I see on job sites.
Very remote campsite, very peaceful with an amazing view of the river. Be very careful trying to get back there with larger rigs but would be perfect for class B and smaller class c RVs
I'll update my review... after I actually can see the place. Both ends of the road to get there were gated and chained with padlocks all around it. I just assumed a public campground would allow access.
Excellent place to go camping and enjoy nature. Spent several days there camping and fishing.
