Camping

For the camper, you have a choice of camping styles from entirely primitive, to tenting with facilities, to bringing your recreational vehicle, to renting a cozy cabin. It also means you can plan to take advantage of other recreational or educational opportunities during your stay here. Campsites and RV Parks.

Primitive Camping

If your idea of camping is a small clearing in the forest where you can pitch your tent and almost believe you're living 200 years ago, Citrus County is the place for you. There are a number of public lands with designated primitive campsite along the established hiking trails.

Two primitive campsites within the Citrus Tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest are located along established hiking trails. Combined with an extensive trail system, the 41,222 acre Citrus Tract offers a terrific opportunity for a back-to-nature extended backpacking vacation.

There are three Southwest Florida Water Management District "Save our Rivers" projects: Flying Eagle Preserve, Potts Preserve and the Chassahowitzka River Tract. All have primitive campsites available by reservation. Primitive camping is also offered at Fort Cooper State Park in Inverness.

Tenting in Less Primitive Settings

If you prefer to tent in a less primitive setting, the Chassahowitzka River Campground and the Mutual Mine, Holder Mine and Tillis Hills Campgrounds within the Citrus Tracts of the Withlacoochee State Forest offer a bathroom facilities, potable water, and fire rings/cooking grills.
