i saw on here a couple of months ago about a campground with shower facilities on the road just past rt.588.can anyone give me more info.going up 1st weekend in march with a big group of quads and bringing wives.....big scrub is nice,but need showers for the ladies
I think the one you are referring to is:
Ocala Forest Campground
26301 S.E. County Hwy 42
Umatilla, FL 32784
(352) 669-3888
I've been planning on staying there soon. Let me know how it is if you stay there and if you can ride from the campground. I don't think you can.
Hope this helps

We have been going to Ocala Forest Campground since '81' and it is nice , has game room , pool 2 bathroom facilities (but not any a/c). We could ride in and out of the camp, at a reasonable speed, with railbuggys and ATV's. But you may want to check first cuz John has had many who don't adhere to the rules the past few years, thus causing a good thing to stop............

When you rode out of the campground did you ride out to Hwy 42 or did you have direct access to the forest?
Thanks Dan
I have sleeped at ocala campground very nice hot shower nice people ,but look out for the very old man one time I was take a shower and a old man came in and set down to the pot next to the showers and just cheaped all over the places it was so funny. u can ask 01-DS650 he was there with me when it happened. but still a very nice places to sleep.
P.S u can ride on the road to get to the place to ride.
u turn right out of the campground ride the road 1.4 miles u will pass a gas station it is a little pass it the spot to ride is on the right side of the road. The gas station is on the left.
is this place anything like croom? how big and does it cost anything and is there running water,showers,toilets,etc.
Warning! In the season there is a lot of people, our ATV Club stayed there awhile back in August we had a blast, you do have to ride down the side of 40 for about 2 miles to get to the trail, lots of glass and booby traps along the way. There is a gas station/store right before the trail. I would not recommend kids on the side of the road, it's a very narrow path.
Last time we called the owner said NO ATV's or BIKES! I guess some kid was doing donuts in front of a house and pissed off the homeowner and it got back the the campground. >:( But we told him it was just the 2 of us and we would be angels and he said ok. That was 2 years ago.
