Shangri-La Trailhead And Campground

Overview

If you are looking for an idyllic spot to go camping during Florida's mild winters, or if you are looking to hike, bike and particularly to take a horseback ride, then this is your place. Located along the southern boundary of the Cross Florida Greenway in the rolling sandhills 5 miles west of I-75 off of the County Road 484 exit. Situated just south of one of the historic sea-level Cross Florida Ship Canal diggings, Shangri La provides optimal access and overnight opportunities to explore the myriad network of well-marked trails through xeric hammock. Shangri-La has an ample day-use equestrian and bike trailhead with a picnic pavilion and restrooms with potable water. The campground has 24 campsites. The compacted shell sites have communal water and a full bathhouse facility. The sites do not have power; however, generators are acceptable to use except during quiet hours. There are also two covered picnic pavilions in the campground. Campground hosts are on-site 365 days a year. The campground also has nearby supply shops as well as numerous restaurants only a couple of miles away.
