Hopkins Prairie

Visited with my niece and loved it! Very clean beach and friendly staff.

AMAZING! Food and service is incredible (many thanks Joyce et al) as is the pool and beach access without ridiculous crowds. Can't wait for the next visit!

Great staff and atmosphere for a family hang out dat!

Great atmosphere and service. Big wide beach with nice sand. The club has a terrific pool and the bar serves great drinks and we had some really good nachos

Nice beach club! Overall nice food and a good pool. It seems like there is always construction going on though. The main restaurant is currently under construction so you have to eat at the bar area. Still great place tho!

This is REAL FLORIDA camping. Carry your water. CLEAN toilets. No RVs. Beautiful. Beautiful! On a Friday late afternoon, in January, still 5-6 open sites. Great hiking. FL TRAIL, connects to Yearling Trail. Nice hike to Silver Glen Spring for a swim on a warm day. Been camping FL for years. Highly recommend.

I have lived in Florida all my life. I have only seen Florida black bear in zoos. Most of the time people say the Florida black bear are no bigger than a large dog. Even the one that I saw at the zoo. I saw a Florida black bear in Hopkins Prairie. Only thing, some how this Florida black bear was between 600 to 700 hundred pounds. Yes 600 to 700 LBS. All I wanted was to see one in the wild. It was Thanksgiving day 2019.

Small but nice beautiful spot. The rangers there were kind and helpful. Especially because it was our first time camping ????

Great campground in the Ocala National Forest. Has about 18-20 primitive campsites. Scenery is great. Lots of wildlife and access to the Florida trail.

Campground is 2.5 miles off of 19 on FR 50, not FR 83. Google maps has refused to update their maps so be sure to look for signs for the campground.
