DO NOT TAKE THE DIRT PATH ROAD GOOGLE MIGHT TELL YOU TO, THAT IS NOT CORRECT. The correct entrance is path with the gate. Fore Lake Campground in Ocala National Forest is a beautiful and mostly quiet spot (though our party-loving neighbors were quite generous with their DJ set, echoing for miles into the night!). If you’re looking for spacious campsites with plenty of shade you can't go wrong. Note for 26-30 take the first unmarked left after the camp host to find these lovely spots. Every site is complete with a fire pit, picnic table, bear locker, and some with grills. The campground offers animal-proof trash bins conveniently throughout, which is great for keeping wildlife away. Though the lakeside bathrooms were closed for maintenance, the larger restroom facility exceeded expectations: clean, with flush toilets, push-button showers, and hot, high-pressure water that felt amazing. Handicapped-accessible, too! Be prepared for the bugs—trust me, they mean business. You do need a code to get in the bathrooms as well as to get in and out of the Campground before and after hours, check in with the camp host on arrival and they will give you the information. All in all, a fantastic spot for soaking up nature and tranquility. Just hope for courteous neighbors!

Older and not maintained. Makes sense if it was 1970 and rigs were small or tent campers were the bulk of traffic. Unkempt roads, out of care bathrooms and no real amenities like hiking or biking. Lake looks like no one has entered in a decade for good reason.

This place is only ok. Do NOT come if you have a large rig. Pot holes make the road difficult. It is a very tight squeeze, we have a 24 foot trailer. There are no walking trails. The lake is ok. Small and I was worried about gators. The bathroom code was annoying to use every time. The hot water was lukewarm. We were there for three days and the bathrooms floors were not cleaned. I saw the same leaves and dirt every day. The sites were very tricky to get in and out.

We love coming here to swim and relax! Many camping sites available!!! There are bears here so you have to prepare and be cautious. Metal food bins and garbage bins at every site. Lake is awesome for swimming. Clear water and Sandy bottom! Lots of fish and even a cute turtle came to swim with us!

It's an excellent place to spend quality time. We stayed 1 night at the 31st spot (not the best spot). Please beware of the Google Maps route; it sent us on a hunting path, and we almost got stuck on the sand and mud. What a terrible situation to be at night... The campground's entrance contains a sign; don't follow the path that doesn't have a sign. The host helped us with an issue with the car (because of the sand and mud of the mentioned path). I highly recommend this place! We will be back to spend more time!
