About
River Road Campground provides a quiet primitive camping experience in the heart of Lake George State Forest, a 21,176-acre tract of flatwoods, sandhills, and floodplain wetlands in northwest Volusia County. The 10 tent-only sites cluster beneath a shady canopy of live oaks, each furnished with a fire ring, grill, and picnic table. A communal pitcher pump supplies non-potable water, and a portable toilet serves the campground. No hookups or showers are available. The forest borders approximately 5.5 miles of waterfront along the St. Johns River and Lake George, Florida's second-largest lake. Kayakers and canoeists can paddle the river, while anglers pursue bass and bream. Over 20 miles of multi-use trails accommodate hikers, mountain bikers, and equestrians. Lake George State Forest is part of a contiguous corridor of public lands vital to the survival of the area's Florida black bear population, and wildlife viewing opportunities abound. Reservations are made through Reserve America up to 11 months in advance; same-day bookings are possible. Entry requires a gate combination sent via confirmation email. Campers should be aware that low-lying areas of the campground may flood after heavy summer rains. Check the state's Burn Ban Public Dashboard before visiting, as fire restrictions may affect campfires.
