myself and a couple of buddies want to go wheelin in ocala. but since its a few hours from us we figured we'd camp or stay in a hotel there, everyone concluded camping would be better so does anyone know of any camp sites in or around the Ocala National Forrest???

Take a look at Juniper Springs Campground. It's probably less than a mile from one of the entrances to the Jeep trails. We stayed there in a popup camper this Summer and had a blast!

Just about all of the natural spring camp grounds are good. Clean, patrolled, and if you have an hour or two, the diving is great. Diving=free diving/snorkling. Also cheap.

Quite a few bears, but they are small. Just don't leave too much food out.

X2. What kind of trails are they! I also live in Florida now and thought the whole state was flat. Having driven the roads through it I do know its very scenic.

Great camping near Santos, right next to some awesome mtn biking trails.

Still pretty flat and mostly sand but still fun.

jeep trails are like that too. there's some elevation change and rocky areas... just have to look for them. :whistling:

Check Out Alexander Springs; it is a nice camp ground. It is roughing it a little there is no electric at the sites but they do have water and shower houses! Also real close to trails.

I used to do the Ocala trails a lot in the late 90's with my TJ. I dont remember where those trail were and would love to get together with some people who know the area.

Anyone?
