It's a beautiful place I would recommend to anybody to go there. I will definitely be going again.

I've been coming here for several years now. It started at $50/night. It is now $100/night but I don't know what the money is being used for. Trash cans in both bathrooms were full upon check-in. Nobody ever came to empty them. Amenities have never been kept up, even now that the fee has doubled. Eg. 2 of the 3 lantern hangers have been broken for years now, the smoker grate has been deteriorated beyond use for years now. There is nowhere to hang items in the showers nor shelves to put things on. It's a beautiful spot, but please do some upkeep and improvements to the shower areas.

too much to say and not enough space. Dreadful experience.

Overall the campground was clean and a great experience. Getting into the campground was a different story. For several days before my reservation I was making calls trying to obtain a gate code and ensure the bathrooms would be unlocked. The day of reservation I contacted the ranger station again and was provided a gate code. However the bathrooms were out of their control. I was directed by the ranger station to go to Alexander springs for a key. Alexander springs is about 25 minute drive so glad I called before driving over. Alexander springs had no clue what campground I was referring to. I decided to drive over the the fore lake campground to see if there was any staff available. I was met by someone inside the gate that was very upset I pulled and was yelling that I shouldn’t have drive through the open gate that said “camp host”. After moving past that she argued I did not have the campground reserved as she had checked just that morning. I have had it booked for 3 months and showed her my email confirmation. She agreed to come over and unlock the bathrooms but it would take her a few hours. Again, I had reserved and payed for this site several months prior. earlier that week I had received several reservation reminders. How difficult is it to email the gate code and remind the correct personnel to ensure the campground is available. It truly started my weekend getaway with a few stressful hours. To anyone reading this. Don’t wait and just assume that it is setup and ready for you.

Combination to the gate was wrong even after calling ranger station. Locals just show up and expect to go swimming. Marion county SO clueless on rules. FWC shows up with summer camp to go swimming, bathrooms absolutely disgusting. Bring a gun, you'll need it.

We really like this camp site and have been many times. Good facilities, bathrooms and showers were clean. We usually camp here in January or February when it is cooler, but it was unusually warm the Feb weekend we were there this year. That may have been the cause for an issue we’ve never had before, but the place was infested with ticks and chiggers. Most of us have dozens of chigger bites and one person sat near the lake to fish and was covered in ticks. If there’s any kind of treatment that can be applied to the area it would probably be a big help.

Always a great time for our group! Can I add that if you contact us a day prior to our reservation with the gate code that would be great! It was a bit difficult to get ahold of someone, then she gave me a code that was incorrect and we had to hunt down a ranger. Thank you!!

We have a group camp out here twice a year for a 12 Step Fellowship. We absolutely love it here! Its the perfect location! Lots of shade, clean restrooms, friendly staff and the lake view and lake access is so great!!! We usually book our camp out in the winter and the fall. Perfect time of the year to camp in Florida! Furthermore, you cannot beat the price to book this lovely campground!!! :)

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
