Feedback from our guests…

"We had a wonderful experience camping at Alexander Springs for five nights. The staff did a beautiful job of hosting us, and protecting one of the most magnificent natural springs in the world."

Gin B. at Alexander Springs, FL
"Glamping at Lake Powhatan was a perfect long weekend getaway. We enjoyed the hiking trails, the lake, and many of the nearby sightseeing attractions. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend camping at Lake Powhatan."

Kara L. at Lake Powhatan, NC
"We love Davidson River, it's our first go to for camping. We have stayed there a lot and always had a great time. The staff is very friendly and the bath houses are always clean."

David G. at Davidson River Campground, NC
“Mill Dam Campground was one of the best campsites that I have ever taken my Boy Scout Troop to. The facilities are excellent, clean, and well cared for. The campsite is picturesque. We are already planning our next trip. “

John G. at Mill Dam Group Camp, FL
"Camp host was very present and knowledgeable, and the camp was in fantastic shape! Cleanest bathroom I've seen in Ocala National Forest so far! I like having access to a small hand crank pump for water for cleaning as well."

Kimberly M. at Hopkins Prairie Campground, FL
"The glamping yurts are very well maintained. We enjoyed many local activities in close proximity to the campsite including several activities within the park including swimming at the beach on the reservoir, hiking, and nightly campfires. Will definitely return!"
