This is a perfect little campground that can be reserved via the reserve America website. There's an option for RVs or tent sites. Maximum number of people is eight. Amenities include a picnic table, fire ring, potable water, Electricity with a 50 amp outlet, and a bathroom that includes showers. While we did not bring our fur friend, this is a pet friendly campground. Check in time is 3 PM and check out time is 1 PM. We really enjoyed our stay. The view of Oak trees and open grassy area. It really is the simple little things in life sometimes. Once you reserve your spot, you will be given a code for the gate in your reservation email. There are many hiking and primitive camping options nearby in the Withlacoochee State Forest. I will definitely be back !

This is an older, very small campground with an incredible amount of charm. Management is extremely…read morepleasant, accommodating, and welcoming. If you're arriving after dark, be cautious--the entrance sign is not lit. I was driving a 40-foot motorhome towing a 30-foot trailer and mistakenly took the first turn instead of the second. The signage isn't illuminated, so headlights are helpful to confirm you're in the right place. I highly recommend arriving before dark. The campground is very quiet and feels like stepping back into "old Florida." It sits right on the river, where we saw otters playing and fish jumping--literally jumping two feet out of the water. Very cool. We stayed in Site 20, a pull-in site with excellent river views and located right next to the boat ramp. There's a small store on-site that sells firewood, fire rings at the sites, and it's perfect for a relaxing evening. The permanent residents were extremely friendly and helpful. Kayaks are available to rent for river trips (we didn't do that this time). They don't sell bait, but there's a great bait and tackle shop less than a quarter mile across the street with wonderful people--perfect for fishing off the dock. No problems at all, the dogs loved it, and my wife really enjoyed how relaxing it was. We'd happily stay again.

There was a nice sea breeze and a pier you could walk out on with a few tables there too. There is a food truck that is always on site that serves some tasty beef tacos with a delicious homemade pico as well as several other food options. Drink service at the bar was very slow as several people (I assume locals) came in after me but were served before me. It's great that everyone knows everyone, but we out of towners would like to support you too. We only ended up getting one drink each because of this.

It was fairly quiet for being a holiday weekend. There is a pool but we didn't use it. Looked nice. There seems to be a lot of permanent and seasonal residents. Maybe that's why it was quieter. Lot of nearby places like Monkey Island, Yule sugar Mill Ruins, Ellie Schiller State Park. Overall nice experience just like first time we stayed there.

Our reservation packet was in the late-arrival box. Nice color-map with good description of amenities. Beyond this the service was almost non-existent. Bath House was not the cleanest and the men's has only ONE toilet and ONE urinal. There are only TWO showers, although never had to wait. Shower debris were not cleaned during the four days. The left-side sink faucet handle was broken and spews water all over your pants because it has no aerator. Trash dumpsters are located at three corners of the park, but not the main entrance, so not easy to drop trash. I had walked our nightly trash to the bath house only to find no place for it. There was a single trash can by the fire pit but it was overflowing. Quiet: Pretty good here because many of the sites are long-term, so they aren't outside making noise. Cleanliness: Besides the bath house mentioned earlier, parts of the park are okay, like the office, pool and shuffleboard areas. Many of the long-term residents have junk piled up on their properties that detracts heavily from the cleanliness. The back of site F05 has a direct view of the long-term resident behind it and it looks like a junkyard with a lot of broken down items and storage units in very poor condition. Summary: Although the price was good, we decided we wouldn't stay here again unless it was the only place available.

No wonder Rainbow Springs is considered the most beautiful of the state's 33 first-magnitude springs, more than any other state and more than any nation can boast. Tubing here was so relaxing too! There are air stations to fill your tubes if you're bringing your own. If you are coming in by the Rainbow Springs State Park entrance be prepared to wait in line its recommended to be at the springs super early. They open at 8 AM I would recommend to be here at 6:30AM. They close the park and won't let anyone else in when it's full to capacity. Great place to come with family and friends.

I got my phone to call and noticed a VM had been left from the same phone number. Due to spotty service, I could not figure out what was being said in the VM, so I called. The gentleman on the phone was very rude. "I left you a message with this information a few minutes ago," he said. I explained what I typed above and was given the code. When entering the ranger station the gentleman barely looked up. I said nicely that I believe I just spoke to you on the phone and I am here to check-in. He was just as rude during the check-in process. Whatever, people have bad days. We found our site and got everything setup. We had a great site and the park is very beautiful. We could hear kids playing a site or two down and some dogs randomly barking here and there throughout the park. Our dogs responded by barking "HI" back a couple of times before we shushed them and they quieted down The next two days were chilly and nothing particular to note regarding park or staff. We were a tad disappointed in the lack of walking and/or bike trails, but at this point were still happy with the park. Note: we did not see any trails leading to the springs; you had to drive to a separate entrance. Saturday is the day that did it for us. As I stated above, during the day we could almost always hear kids, adults, and especially dogs throughout the park. It was not irritating or bothersome whatsoever, to us any how. It was simply normal background noise during NON QUIET TIME HOURS! Do our dogs "talk" sometimes, yes, but we quiet them quickly. We know all SP park rules require well-behaved dogs and that they are not overly noisy. I had taken our dogs on a few walks over the past couple of days, but had not taken them on the bicycle yet, and set off with one about 11 am or so. She did not make one peep during our ride around the entire park. When I was leaving to take the second dog out, I was stopped at the end of our site by who I believe was a campground host. She was driving an orange gator. Mind you, I had one dog strapped to my chest and the other three were outside, in the caged area attached to our RV, behind our truck, and could clearly hear and see us (my spouse was also standing there with the dogs). They only made a few whiny noises but did not bark once. This woman had a scowl on her face like we were having a raging rave party in the park. She asked if were the site with the overly loud and barking dogs. I was taken back a bit, and considering at this point our dogs had not barked at her once, I responded the same as I typed above. They do bark occasionally, but we get them quieted down very quickly. I was then told that was basically untrue because the night before she had received three complaints. This was simply not true! Not about our dogs anyhow. I told her that the night before we sat around the fire for a bit and the dogs were quiet and that we were inside before 9 pm because it was so cold that night (and my watch indicated I was fast asleep by 9:22 pm). She scoffed back that the complaints came around 8 pm and woke her up as she went to bed early. I just looked at her shocked and reiterated it could not have been our dogs, but that I would tell my husband. She sped off and I turned around to tell my husband. He too was shocked. I postponed the other dog bike rides so the others would not make a peep if I left. We then made sure the dogs stayed 100% quiet, even though we could hear other dogs throughout the park as also stated above. As we sat there and talked about what had happened, we replayed the last few days over and over and were still perplexed at the situation. This was our 14th time camping at FL SPs. We have also stayed at a city park a few times. We have NEVER had any complaints about us or the dogs. We then talked about the quiet time hours and how we were always inside and quiet during this time. Furthermore, our dogs were not being disruptive at any time during our trip. We were also not being loud at any point, as we never are. We respect the rules and quiet time hours. We, nor the dogs, are ever outside past 10 pm (at the latest) and we never let them out in the morning before at least 8 am. This parks quiet hours were post as 11 pm to 7 am from what we could find. I do not know what this particular worker had against us, but it pi$$ed us off. We had been quite happy with our dogs during the trip as they were less "aware" of the other campers as they usually are. Even during walks, they did not bark at a single other person or dog we passed. Up until the interaction, we had been talking about booking again, but will not be back ever again. I would have understood if our dogs had been having a barking fit, but they were not and did not during this trip. Do not go here if you, your kids, or your dog make any type of noise.

When I think of camping, I think of being deep in the woods, far from civilization. Ross Prairie was not what I was expecting. First off, it's right next to a busy highway, so don't expect to hear nature in all of its glory. The camp sites themselves reminded me of a RV park, not an actual camp site. I think we were the only group there solely with tents. The sites themselves are in a wide open field...Lots of room and separation from the other camp sites which was nice, but you're definitely not in the woods. The maximum tents per site was 2, but it seemed pretty easy to get away with more. On the plus side, the shower/ bathroom facilities were clean...Huge for anyone who isn't quite ready to getting the real " Camping Experience.". If I were to camp again, however, I would definitely look for a site with a more stereotypical camping feeling to it.
