What do you do when camping in a tiny camper in bad weather? Eat, Read a Book, Eat, Watch a movie, Eat, play with my mini appliances, eat... Boondocking at Shangri-La Campground, a Florida State Campground in Ocala Florida Nice little campground. Lots of trails and mountain bike trails too, but it was too wet and raining this trip to do much hiking. There is no electric, water or sewage hookups at the sites but there is a nice bathroom facility. I did not check look inside but read reviews about it. Was very quite only the sounds of the wind, trees, birds, oh and the generator inside the horse trailer all day and night. It wasnt too loud but if you concentrated you could hear it. Rained on and off all weekend, Saturday morning was really hard rain and wind, I found out later about 10 or 15 miles from where I was camped a tornado touched down in close to highway 75 in ocala Florida.
Boondocking at High Bluff Campground on Lake Talquin near Tallahassee FL. This was a beautiful place, beautiful views and lots of birds singing all day. The evening unfortunately was loud people partying for the weekend. Maybe it would be better during the week. I purchased any items shown in the video. nothing sponsored. i just like sharing my experience with items.

Weekend trip to Devil's Den Prehistoric Spring in Williston Florida. The spring has a small campground for tent camping, some cabins and around 30 RV sites. Some are pull through, most are back in. most sites have water, electric and sewer hookups, there are a few with water, electric and no sewer. The sites are well nicely covered with trees. The ground is dirt and lots of leaves and pine needles which makes for happy living area for bugs, you know the kind i mean, so bring some roach spray to keep them out. I didnt have a problem with them coming in but they are there. You must have a reservation to swim in the spring. They only let a certain amount in at a time. Your reserved time is for an hour and a half. It is a spring so the water is very cold (72 degrees) but it doesnt take long to get used to it. While there the water was a little murky due to rain and maybe the divers down deeper in the water. There were alot of divers there and you can get certified here as well. They do have a pool and bathhouse, but I did not get any shots of the bathhouse. There is a large manmade pond which looks like it was a swimming area back in the day. Lots of fish and ducks. There is a small trail that goes around the pond. Next door there is a botanical garden with a separate entrance fee. Nice place to stop for the weekend.
Took a short weekend trip to Lake Panasoffkee Water Management Area campground. This is part of the Southwest Florida Water Management District water and wildlife conservation area. This site has an equestrian side with sites in a wide-open field with stables, pavilion, and a restroom with flush toilets. Another section is for primitive camping under a canopy of trees. None of the sites have electric or water, however, there are spigots with "non-potable water". There is a hiking trail (Jones Creek Trail) and a horse loop trail. This site is located in Central Florida, 1 mile east off of exit 329 Interstate 75 (Wildwood/Inverness exit, head towards Inverness).
