About
Fore Lake Campground sits on the western edge of Ocala National Forest, with 31 sites tucked in the shade of oaks and pines along the shores of Fore Lake. The campground offers a mix of electric sites (6 sites with 30 amp hookups) and nonelectric sites, all equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, lantern poles, and food storage. A bathhouse provides hot showers and flush toilets, and drinking water is available from faucets throughout the campground. The adjacent Fore Lake Recreation Area features a sandy beach for swimming and picnicking, a fishing pier, and a canoe launch. Only non-motorized watercraft are permitted on the lake. The marshy shoreline and scrub ecosystem make this an excellent birding destination. A free dump station is available for registered campers. Gate hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with check-in at 3 p.m. and checkout at 11 a.m. Maximum stay is 14 consecutive days within a 30-day period. Reservations are handled through Recreation.gov.
