i want to go to ocala but dont know where to go we would like to ride out of camp but we dont know where to stay what is the difrence of big scrubs and rodman dam is there camping at both place also is there any camp grounds that u can rent a cabin and ride out of to ? also is there any mud out there
I ride the fireroads usually but I dont know if its legal. Rodman damn was nice. You can camp by rodman damn if i remember correctly.
You can ride out of BigScrub and West Lake Delancey. I don't know about cabins you can ride from.
There are only 2 campgrounds that you can ride your quad out of legally. 1 is Big Scrub, the other is West Delancey. The best riding from West Delancey is closed off due to high water. Camp at Big Scrub. You cannot ride an unlicensed vehicle (quad) on a numbered road in the Ocala Nat'l Forest. You will be cited if you are caught. There is no camping at Rodman.

Nope you are correct...........has been so since 1980....................the trailers and the A frame apartment have all the ammenities........and the ride from the campground to the start of the forest is about 10 minutes........
Rodman has a campground but you can't ride your atvs to the trails. I think you can camp their as long as atvs stay on the trailer. NOT SURE THOUGH. :-\

Give them a call ..........(352) 669-3888 located north of Umatilla in Altoona
i believe they are west of sr 19 on hwy 42.
cool thanks my mom is going to call them at work
at this camp site what will i be close to big scrubs ect.. also where could i find a cheap gps
you can get decent gps units at walmart.
are the trails hard or soft sand cuz i dont know what tires i should use
OCALA IS ALITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING
Mostly soft sand.
ok ill def brign the vamps lol
Take the Vamps. Put more air than usual in them to smooth out the ride alittle. Take extra water and gas and a compass is good to have as a backup to the GPS.
Gonna be staying at elite this weekend. Wher's the best to placet to ride from there? Can't ride out, so I'll need to park somewhere. Any suggestions??

From Elite go west on hwy 316 about 6 miles till you reach nfs 88 go north approx 5 miles till you come to the seed orchard park on the west side of nfs 88. There are some nice trails all around there

Ok, thanks for the info!
OK...have seen 'Rodam Dam" and "Elite" metioned a few times.
The map I have seenposted on here lists areas #1 through 33. #2 is West delancy and # 27 is Big scrub.
Where on the map is Rodam dam and Elite?
I just picked up an ATV today and by Jesus....I am riding it tomorrow. I know where Big Scrub is, but the other locations will sure come in handy later.
This site should have a FAQ section with street addresses/directions and GPS co-ordinances of places available.
Don't forget to write a couple lines to your local and state representatives to let them know we would like more accessible riding areas. (don't think that the deer and the bear among other animals DON'T use the trails that the ATVs keep open).
Hope to meet some of you on the trail.
