Best Place to Stay (Ocala Nat'l Forest)?

[cheropride]

  Planning a trip next month to Ocala National Forest, any suggestions whereas the best place to stay. So many parks in that area, from what I read Big Scrub the best. 

Any suggestions, we will be staying in a motor home.

Thanks.

Been to big scrub. You can bring camper but there are no hookups, primative camping. Going to Lake Delancey next trip, I think they have hookups there but not 100% sure. This site has a link on the home page goto where to ride.

There are no hookups at Delancy. Of the 2 Delancy at least has shade. There are NO :'(nice campgrounds with hookups that you can ride out of So on that note if you are going to camp and then trailer to ride you should stay at Elite resort.

If you're staying for the week, you may want to check on the availibility of the LAKE DORR CABIN.

It's completely awesome. It's a cabin situated directly on Lake Dorr with your own private 90 ft boat dock and boat ramp. It sleeps 10. It's been completely redone with modern appliances.

It's less than 5 minutes to the Big Scrubb riding area.

There are also trails you can ride on right outside the gate of the Cabin.

It's beautiful, and perfect if you're bringing Jet Ski's and or a boat with your quads.

I highly reccomend it.

Here is the link.

It's usually done by lottery, but if you call the number they usually have weeks open or cancelations.

Good Luck

Hey Lost Soul:
Thanks a bunch, my husband & I have heard about that, but we were not sure where or how to get in touch with.  We will more than likely be going up with a group & that would be great, so Thank you very much. 

This forum is Great!!!!
Thanks - Beck.

Checked out the web-site & yep there is a lottery, but thats okay, good plan for a future trip.  Alot of us used to go to Peace River Campground, perhaps we will make a change & do one of our big trips there.  Cabins look so great!!!!

Thanks for the info....Beck....

It is a lottery, but you can call that number and see if it has any open weeks, as they only do the lottery once a year.


Call the number on the website, and ask about Lake Dorr.

That's how I got it.

Skipped the lottery and worked my vacation around the open dates.


Good luck!
