FL> Car Camping >looking for somewhere new

Been to Clear Water Lake at least 5 times. It's my favorite car camping spot. I've never experienced any large crouds. Site 13 is beautiful as its by the lake.

I believe you can hike to Alexander springs and back not sure on the distance. The lake has a small trail loop of about a mile. Pics are of site 13

Is this North of Orlando? I am new to Florida and I need a new car hanging campground.

Yes it's north of Orlando about a 45 minute drive.

I'll chime in since no one mentioned my favorite spots. I visited Fish Eating Creek. I came down 2 years ago rented a kayak for the week. Spent 4 days at Fish Eating Creek and 3 days on the Myakka. I posted a review somewhere. Oh well, I posted them and still can't find it.

Clearwater lake is real nice. We hike the ONF all the time. If you follow the blazes, from Clearwater to Alexander, it is an easy day hike ( I think right around 10ish miles) that brings you though all different kinds of wilderness. Lots of wildlife too.

But at Clearwater, site 13 is our favorite too. It is perfect for car camping, no crowds, quiet nights, good services.

Found that site that has free camping around Florida. Fill out the reservation request. Allow 3-5 days for approval and you're in.
