I am looking for remote north central Florida state parks that have little to nothing so far as electric water and showers. The less people the better. Just need to get away for a few days without being around anyone. I have a slide in camper with solar panels that will let me stay off the grid for around 10 days. Any suggestions?

Check FWC.com for management areas. I think you obtain a permit through the Florida Forest service @ 386- 985-7815. I sometimes take my Jeep out for quite time and cruise those areas. Very rural / primitive! Good luck.

Your town had me stumped for a minute, I suspect it's supposed to be Oxford not Oxfold. I still had to look up Oxford tho.I don't know of any FL State Parks which would offer what you want. O'Leno right now doesn't have many campers but it has a few.Have you thought of the little known Florida State Forests? They offer camping and I think you can camp, boondock really, in the Goethe SF section between Newberry and Bronson on State 337. Here's the website:Goethe SFYou'd have to check with them about the permit but they are near you.Other than that what about boondocking in Ocala National Forest?

State parks won't fit that description. You need to look into National or State FOREST campgrounds. The only ones I know of in that region that somewhat meets your criteria are in the Ocala Nat'l forest east of the town of Ocala. Check out Lake Eaton & Lake Shore camps along Rt. 314 and Grassy Pond near Rt.316.

Take a look at this site. A very complete list of public campgrounds. You'll probably find something to suit you.Public campgrounds

These are great. I liked Juniper Springs and Alexander Springs the best I think it was about $11/night if you are a senior. You can swim, snorkel, or dive the springs all year round. There is a shooting range and fishing nearby.
I didn't do a comprehensive search yet, but are there CGs in the forest that have electric and water hookups? Or should these be visited with th eidea of boondocking? Would love to snorkel in a spring.
. They are dry camping , however salt springs CG has hook ups. If you like to free dive many of these springs are less than 50 ft deep and you can enter the head of the spring.

Alexander Springs, Salt Springs and Juniper Springs all have power and water in the campgrounds. Alexander is the best for snorkeling.

Actually Blue Springs SP (Orange City) is the best for snorkeling. But they don't allow people to swim with the Manatees. So later in the year is best when the Manatees have left the spring.

I would probably look at some forest land camping and not state parks...state parks tend to get visited more.

Ocala is huge with numerous primitive and developed campgrounds. Beautiful area with much to see and do.
