Salt Springs
Recreation Area
Fort McCoy, Florida
Continuing on our journey north through Florida we visit another one of our favorite campgrounds: Salts Springs Recreation Area. This is a beautiful campground located 35 miles east of Ocala, FL. It is the largest campground in the Ocala National Forest. featuring full hookups for RV's. Campsites are nicely shaded and well away from the usually busy day use area.
Campsites are available by reservation only. Early in the week you can sometimes find a campsite for one or two nights without a reservation.
The Salt Springs Recreation Area is home to the salt water springs, with crystal clear water that is 72° year round. The springs are full of Bass, Turtles and Blue Crabs. Although alligators inhibit the area, the swimming area is safe and free of these predators during the day. Lake Kerr is the body of water that connects to the springs providing excellent fishing. Boat rentals are available through the Lake Kerr Marina.
The main roads through Salt Springs are State Road 19 as well as County Road 314 and County Road 316, both of which terminate at SR-19.
Tomorrow another adventure begins.
