The reviews making note of the noise are pretty skewed imo. The sound of crickets is just as loud. We travel FT so have spent nights at travel stops and Wallydocked so are used to traffic noise but to say you couldn’t sleep is pretty extreme…. There is some traffic noise, distant. But who hasn’t also explored amazing places that have much more noise-trains!! blasting through. Even then they’re still worth it. But hey if the noise is too much, come visit the trails at least! You will not be disappointed!!!
What a gem! The pump track and trails were an absolute hit for our preschooler who can now do jumps on his bike! Wish I’d been able to stay longer. The campground is quiet and spacious for little people to run around in the field. We did get ticks so watch for that. Went on the paved trail at sun down and the fireflies looked like Christmas. Clean showers though the height was a bit awkward.

Santos is a small but very nice Trailhead. Miles and miles of paved bike paths. Lots of walking as well. Fairly spacious and most have trees. Dump station. 50 amp

The traffic noise (semi trucks, cars racing, volume of traffic, sirens) from US 301 adjacent to campground, and the nearly continuous trains going by on nearby tracks all night, blowing whistles….. we couldn’t sleep. Our site #16, was very pretty, and so is #18.

Our site #16, was very pretty, and so are 14 and 18. Most sites are open with little to no vegetation for privacy between sites.
We love the Santos trails, but we’ll never camp there again.

Great campground, sites are very well kept. Water & Electric only, but dump on site. Sites are very spaced out, clean bathrooms, and yes the bike and walking trails are a plus. Will return in the future without hesitation.

Backs up to Marjorie Carr Greenway where you can walk or do a leisurely bike ride for miles. Florida Trail passes on side of campground too for off road hiking. Lots of restaurants nearby and great antique shops close by too. Great campground for tents or RVs. Lots of shade.

The above rate reflects the nightly rate of $22, plus the reservation fee and taxes averaged over the 2 nights we stayed.
A perfectly fine campground here with fairly large, level sites. Plenty of separation on the exterior row with foliage between most sites - not so much on the interior sites. Decent shade on the outer sites if you come here in summer, which we did. Bath houses have been updated with tile. Didn't use the facilities, but the showers looked roomy and clean. We had no trouble getting a signal here on both Verizon and Consumer Cellular (which uses mostly AT&T towers). Phone and data were fine. Interior roads are certainly large enough to maneuver a good sized rig. Electric and water at each site and a dump station located near the entrance.
Most campers here come for the mountain bicycle trails, though there is also a really good, paved walking/biking trail here as well. Plenty to do in the Ocala area as well. Even though the campground sits just off a major highway (441), we found it to be mostly a non-factor as far as noise is concerned.
One thing all the Florida State Parks which we have stayed at do a really good job at is keeping the camping areas dark at night. The only lighting is around the bath houses. If your site is away from them, you will have total darkness surrounding you at night.

April 6 2021. Class B RV
Pulled into campsite at 4pm. Friendly staff and very clean and updated bathhouse.
Site 18 was very level and private, only downside was the abundance of tussock moth caterpillars and their cocoons over everything, especially the power pedestal. They are slightly poisonous being irritating to the skin. Only bad in April apparently, lucky us.
Easy back in to site, lots of campers are here to bike so watch out for them on the campground roads.
Many trains come through at night nearby and if you’re in a tent or popup you might be woken up several times.
Two bars with ATT cell, and picked up several local tv stations with our antenna.
Clean and well kept campground with convenient dump station.
