About
River Road Campground sits within the 21,000-acre Lake George State Forest in Volusia County, providing a truly primitive camping experience along Florida's longest river. The campground offers 10 tent-only sites, each equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. A communal pitcher pump supplies non-potable water, and a portalet serves as the restroom facility. The forest borders 3.5 miles of the St. Johns River, creating ecologically valuable communities and outstanding river-based recreation opportunities. This area serves as a critical corridor for Florida black bear populations and is designated as part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail and the Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway. Recreational activities include hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, and wildlife photography. The surrounding landscape consists of diverse woodlands, swamps, and depressions that support exceptional biodiversity and nature study opportunities. Access to the campground requires a gate combination provided at the bottom of your confirmation email from ReserveAmerica. Campers should bring their own drinking water and be prepared for primitive conditions without electricity or modern amenities. The forest's proximity to Ocala National Forest, several state parks, and the Atlantic coast beaches makes it an ideal base for exploring central Florida's natural attractions.
