Mutual Mine Campground
Overview
Overview
Mutual Mine Campground in Inverness, Florida provides a rustic basecamp situated inside the expansive public lands of Citrus County. This destination appeals to travelers seeking a quieter, nature-focused stop away from the heavily commercialized coastal resorts, placing visitors directly among the pine flatwoods and sandhills characteristic of Florida's Nature Coast.
Location & Surroundings
Situated off the region's rural byways, the property lies within the Withlacoochee State Forest boundaries, an environment defined by towering longleaf pines, rolling sand terrain, and diverse wildlife habitats. Travelers arrive via U.S. Highway 41 or State Road 44, navigating through the scenic landscapes of central-west Florida. The climate brings warm, humid summers and mild winters well-suited for outdoor exploration.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details vary widely across public forest campgrounds, RVers should verify critical setup criteria directly before arrival. Guests should call ahead to confirm site dimensions, maximum rig lengths, and specific vehicle classification allowances. Visitors must inquire about the availability of utility hookups, potable water access, and waste disposal stations prior to booking.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding area serves as a primary hub for outdoor recreation, featuring the nearby Withlacoochee State Trail for cycling and hiking enthusiasts. Water access is abundant at the Tsala Apopka Chain of Lakes, which offers exceptional freshwater fishing and kayaking opportunities. Visitors also frequently travel short distances to explore the famous crystal-clear freshwater springs located in nearby Crystal River.
Who This Park Is Best For
This location suits nature-focused RVers, tent campers, and road-trippers who prioritize wildlife viewing, trail access, and public land solitude over luxury resort amenities. Photographers, birders, and anglers find the geography exceptionally rewarding. Self-contained travelers looking for an authentic immersion in Florida's protected interior forests will appreciate the quiet, wooded setting.

Had the whole campground to myself. Quiet, peaceful. Citrus tract offers great hiking. Been here 3 times now. Lake was a bit small for the kayak, but it was nice to float around in.

This campground was pretty but the restroom lights didn't work in the men's room and there is a no alcohol rule in camp. Some of us are traveling and can't exactly empty our cars to not possess alcoholic beverages when we collect craft beers from across the state/country... I have typically never had a bad camping experience but this stay was the exception. We had a neighbor that ran his generator all evening and morning. There should be a decibel limit on generators, they had an old, very loud, whole-house generator. Update: Came back a year later and there are new restrooms. They have 4 unisex stalls with showers. The water was hot but they could have fit 2 more in the same space to reduce congestion. They also do not drain very well. At&t cellular reception is decent.

Wonderful experience :) Very well maintained and clean. I believe it’s only $10 per night for camping. No electricity but has water faucet, fire pit and picnic table as you can see in the pic. They offer free firewood as well so we added some donation when we purchased the ticket online. There are two bathrooms and I actually saw a electrical outlet outside the female bathroom if someone really need to charge their phone. Visited here from Monday-Friday during May so it’s only us and maybe 2 more other families here. Fairly close to crystal river for manatee and one hour drive to Tampa for some authentic Chinese food. 30min drive to the amazing Rainbow Springs. Absolutely will come back

The campsite was great for our needs. Water only, no electric. It can be a bit of a walk to the bathroom if you are on the end of the sites. 1 and 13 being the furthest away and 5 and 6 right near the bathroom. Trails nearby are for hikers only. No bikes etc allowed. Gate is locked and requires a code sent by email when reserving a site.

Very peaceful and excellent hiking trails from easy to intermediate Update: the best hiking trail there around the lake has collapsed due to rain and storms. My family and i are going to miss it.
