First Time to Ocala (1 Viewer)

[Irish Reiver]

I need to go to Gainesville to pick up a set of manual seats for my 80 so I thought I would stop by Ocala and spend a night in the tent and maybe see what off roading is available.
Can anyone recommend a decent campsite and a few choice trails. I am heading there Friday afternoon but need to be in Gainesville by Saturday afternoon so time is limited.

The place is huge. Only been once. Juniper springs was a beautiful place to BBQ and for a cold swim. Hard Rock Offroad park is right there if you want someplace more challenging.

Juniper is great and has state park camping sites. Big scrub is a little more rustic but everyone is on top of each other. Great for hunters that know each other. Hard Rock has camping. SilverSprings also has a campground and is a nice place to visit. ALWAYS check the hunting season before venturing out into public lands.

Ill be heading there April 5-8. Check out Lake In The Forest for camping. They have nice amenities, including a heated pool. If you have a GPS check this place out. Its not far from the camp location.

Watch out for exploding bombs and lasers.

Thanks guys. Looks like Juniper Springs is the one the kids like most. Looks like I am a day late to make a reservation so I will have to hope that the first come first served options are still available.
