Continuing on our journey north through Florida we visit the Oceola National Forest, located 20 miles east of Lake City. Florida. Ocean Pond Campground resides within the Oceola National Forest. There are three sections within this campground: Campsites with electric and water hookups; Campsites with water hookups; Campsites with no hookups. Campsites with electric and water are by reservation only. All other campsites are first-come-first-serve. All campsites are nicely shaded and some may prevent obtaining a strong satellite signal.

There is a small lake at Ocean Pond, with a boat launch. This is a popular area for fishing, canoeing and kayaking. We were fortunate to secure a campsite with electric and water hookups. We will spend one night at Ocean Pond.
