Homosassa Springs Campground?

Ha...my response that I just KNEW I had posted earlier was on the other forum...LOL

I love that area of Florida, more of the old Florida

Go to Chazz. it's certainly not a resort but may be what you want.

We stayed at Lake Rousseau RV park. Very friendly,quiet, has a ramp to the lake and the pool is great.About 20 mins to Homosassa SP

In May of 2015 we stayed in the Chassahowitzka River Campground. It was very nice and you could kayak in the Chassahowitzka river right from the campground.

A buddy of mine told me that this is a wonderful campground in the weekdays, it can get a little loud on the weekends, lots of locals enjoying themselves but over all nice. If you like state campgrounds you should like this place

Thanks again to everyone.

We stay at Rock Crusher for the winter, last year for 4 months and will again this year. Yes, there are a lot of Michiganders there, but plenty of Canadians and folks from all over too. The reason we liked it from our first visit 4 years ago was that it reminded us of a state park, plenty of vegetation and privacy between most sites. Lots of good people there. BTW, it's in Crystal River, not Crystal Springs, although there are a lot of springs in the area.

We visited Chassahowitzka River Campground to check it out and found it a bit tight in spots. It's not far off US19 and right on the river. Be sure to check out Old Homosassa where the Freezer and The Shed are. Not fancy eateries by a long shot, but fun and right on the river. The Olde Mill Tavern has decent food too.

I've seen a map of a paddle route through the area if you're looking for paddle locations. There are plenty along the coastal waters.

PS: Another great location for kayaking would be a bit NE from Crystal River/Homosassa Springs in Dunnellon. The Rainbow River is a spring fed river and great for kayaking. Access can be made just east of town and at the state park there. Good food at the Blue Gator in town right on the Withlacoochee River. Swampy's Bar & Grill is right on the Rainbow River where the road intersects the river. You can put in there too.

The Rainbow River is great!! We have camped there twice and paddled the river 3 times!! It never disappoints us, we just wanted to try some new places. We did eat at the Blue Gator, also. I ate the steamed shrimp and they were great.
