Front Deck - The spacious front deck overlooks the main
lagoon where all the waterside activity occurs. To one side
of it lies a natural area where feeders attract
hummingbirds, bats, cardinals, titmice, & squirrels. From
this point you can also see a 900+ year old cypress tree,
the likes of which were logged extensively during the late
1800s. For your relaxing pleasure are ample picnic
seating & a few benches. Just try to sit & not be
impressed by the views & nature!
Boat House - Originally Miss Maggie's bait & fishing store,
this small building & covered dock now houses the kayak
& other vessels rental concession. It also is a favorite
gathering place for campers & locals to catch up on
happenings, as well as a wonderful sound stage because
the acoustics of the lagoon in front are akin to a natural
amphitheater.
Boat Ramp - Replaced &
upgraded in 2010, the main boat
ramp is one of the best in Citrus
County. It's big enough for
launching two vessels at once &
features a grooved concrete
surface so you never have to
worry about traction. If you're a
people watcher, it's also a great place to hang out & watch
the amazing variety of boats & other watercraft & the
associated human antics. As well, paddlers have a gently
sloping sandy “beach” beside the boat ramp for easy
launches.
Parking - A large paved parking lot abuts the camp store
& dock/ boat ramp area. While using the boat ramp for
launching is free, there is a small fee for parking a vehicle
with or without a trailer. The charge for a vehicle is $5 - A
vehicle w/ trailer is $7. It also features a bicycle parking
rack & restrooms. Once the parking lot is full - We close
down our parking area.
Playground - We are a family friendly establishment and
are excited to announce our new fenced in playground.
Here your littles can enjoy the day and you can enjoy
some peace of mind.
WiFi Signals - Broadcasting throughout the RV camping
area & the riverside dock area are WiFi signals which
require codes for connections. The signal in the RV area
features high download volume capability so campers can
get streaming TV channels such as NetFlix.
Kayak Storage Rental - We feature a building with rental
lockers for your kayak up to 18 feet long. Rent them daily,
weekly or monthly; bring or buy your own lock. This way,
your kayak is always close to the water and ready to
launch.
Firewood - We sell large, seasoned, dry firewood bundles
for your convenience.
