Silver Lake Campground Withlacoochee State Forest

About

Silver Lake Campground occupies a naturally screened setting on Silver Lake within the 157,000-acre Withlacoochee State Forest, Florida's third-largest state forest. Located in the Croom Tract just five miles from I-75, the campground offers convenient access while maintaining a forested atmosphere. All 23 sites include water and electric hookups with 30 and 50-amp service, fire rings with cooking grates, and picnic tables. Facilities include a bathhouse with flush restrooms and showers, plus a dump station. The adjacent Silver Lake Day-Use Area features a boat ramp providing access to Silver Lake and the Withlacoochee River system for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The campground connects to the Withlacoochee State Trail and other hiking opportunities within the Croom Tract. Site configurations vary from 30 to 50 feet, with pull-through sites available at positions 1, 2, 7, and 19. Sites 19, 20, and 21 offer enhanced ADA accessibility. Due to the proximity to I-75, road noise may be audible at times.
