We visited my brother at the resort where he parked his RV. Beautiful place, clean and just the right amount of shade. I can't rate rooms or service as that isn't applicable. Close to Silver Springs and lots of restaurants.

My wife and I stayed here for two months, February through April. We didn't get to enjoy the Park as we had hoped due to the death of a family. Next year we're looking to return, we love the areas of Silver Springs, FL and Ocala, FL.

I have been driving past this place for years. I finally get my opportunity to go inside. Very nice place laid-back clean.

If you are going through the Ocala National Forest than no trip is complete unless you stop at Sweet Jane's Candy shop. Her Cookies, Fudge and Woppie Pies are absolutely the best. So HIT THE BRAKES next trip and enjoy some real goodness.

There are only a very few sites available to "Camp". The vast majority of lots are controlled by three separate HOA's whose members may or may not lease/rent their lot. It depends on which section HOA their lot resides and it's by-laws.

We wanted to stay there, but we were told our rv is "too old". Honestly, from the reviews I've read, this place doesn't really live up to their elitist attitude. 1 year later, we purchased a 2022 trailer, but I doubt we'll try this place.

We booked a site back in November 2021 at Wilderness RV Resort in Silver Springs for January – March of 2023 at the advertised rate of $695 per month plus electric. In January of this year we were in the Silver Springs area, so toured the place we were going to call home for 3 months next year. Boy, were we disappointed. To call this a resort is real stretch. The site spacing is at least as tight as you would expect of a private park, the general appearance of the park is plain at best with no apparent attempts at landscaping (don’t let the website pics fool you), the pool was a little cloudy and in need of some cosmetic work, and the facilities and amenities are dark, dated, and/or minimal. Shortly into the tour we learned from someone (not office personnel) that the sites are selling off and that we could at any unspecified time lose our reservation. To top that, we also learned that they were raising the monthly rates from $695 to $895. When was Wilderness going to tell us this? I can understand raising the rates a small percentage from time to time, but $200 extra a month / $600 extra for the total stay is criminal. Also, we were told when we reserved that this was a 55+ park, but one of the campers said they allowed families in to camp with children on a daily/weekly basis. And now I can’t find an age restriction at all on their website, so did it change? So we called today to inquire as to the truth of this bad news, and were told; yes the monthly rate is indeed going up $200; no, they will not refund our $180 deposit (“read the terms” she said, the terms you receive after you’ve booked); and yes, they are selling sites, but they would ensure we had something… After this conversation and our recent tour, our gut is telling us that the “something”, as well as the dated and minimal amenities and facilities, isn’t going to be worth $895 a month. So we cancelled. This was a hard $180 lesson that we are passing along. When it’s almost impossible to find a campsite in winter in Florida, I’m surprised at their greedy stance on deposit refund requests made because of a 30% rate increase. As for the Silver Springs area in general, it seems to be mostly run down (from what we travelled through) and near the Ocala National Forest which – as we learned from a few residents of Silver Springs – has become home to violent drug dealers who seem to be infiltrating outside the forest area.

MONTHLY IS 55+ ONLY I gave middle of the road stars as I can not just make an informative statement and had to give stars. My comments are neither good nor bad as we did not stay there, they are merely an FYI - we spent the day in the Ocala area looking for next winter's campground for a 6 month stay. FYI- MONTHLY RENTAL IS FOR 55 AND OVER ONLY. I said -oh I must have missed that on your website. "They do not advertise it" as the lady at the desk stated. Daily rental is for all ages so they don't advertise the age limit as to not turn daily stays away. I see what they are trying to do, but there are plenty of ways to word things that people can understand the differences. Would have been nice to know before we stopped as to not waste either party's time.
