If you haven't been to Ocala National Forest, give it a try. There are 4 awesome springs there to swim in and some excellent camp sites. I go to Salt Springs mostly because it is closer to my house but all of them deserve a visit. The Florida Trail runs through the park also with miles of trails and primitive camping. Haven't made it to Blue Spring yet but that is for a future trip. The wife wants to see all the manatee and winter is the best time to camp in Florida because of the summer heat unless you are coming to swim. If you are going for primitive camping, park at Juniper Springs and take the Florida Trail north to Hidden Pond. It's a nice 4 mile hike to a spring fed pond.
Thanks for the pro tip! Ive been to Juniper Springs and absolutely loved it. I agree, the scenery in Ocala National Forest is amazing . I definitely need to do some more exploring and camping around there 😀
Looks like a nice place! Thanks for sharing!
⛺️ If you haven't checked out Rainbow Springs hit us up we've converted our 10 acre homestead into a Glampsite just 10 minutes from the park!
That sounds really awesome ! Would love to check it out sometime , thanks for sharing 😃
Oh my you can take me camping anytime 😁

People have been taken by gators there.
Yes I believe there was one instance . There is always a risk when being in the wild
Always looking handsome 😍🥰
