Secluded RV Sites in Florida

Ocala National Forest or the Glades.

If you really want to get away Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park is a 5 mile drive in through open prairie just to get to the park office. Beautiful spot far from everything, but of course it is closing for a bit.

Great, thanks for the great recommendations. I will start to look into Paynes Prairie and Rodman.

I ran into an RV'er who told me there is a quite spot near River Ranch. He said the KICCO Spoil Equestrian Campsite is small but usually quite. Anyone ever been there? I am familiar with the area and RR but I am not familiar with taking an RV there.

A previous post mentioned Rodman State Park which is near Ocala. I wasn't blown away by Paynes Prairie either.

Have friends who thought Paynes Prairie was the greatest. I stayed there Nov. 21 and would give it a 3 on a 1-10 scale. To each his own, I guess.

We were there a couple of weeks ago to hike a trail, the cg didn't seem to be full. Probably FHU in the CG. Last time we stayed in the cg a tree fell on our TV...heh. Could happen anywhere of course. The place is on the soggy side right now but everything around here is to some extent.

As for Alexander I checked the rec.gov website and they do have available sites next week.

There are 14 developed campgrounds in the Ocala National Forest with some offering dump stations and showers, but just one with full hookups. Dispersed camping is also available, so there's a good likelihood there will be a spot available somewhere in the forest. The full hookup sites are at the Salt Springs Recreation Area campground, the least "secluded" of the campgrounds with no foliage separating the sites and a small shopping center across the highway from the campground.

Alexander Springs?

Packed like a sardine can right now isn't it? And everytime we've been by in the summer it is always busy.

Was only there once - two years ago - in April, and there was plenty of space then.
