River Forest Group Camping

Tucked alongside the tranquil shores of the St. Johns River, River Forest Group Campground offers an exceptional setting for group gatherings, providing a blend of natural beauty, engaging recreation, and accommodating facilities. With expansive shaded grounds under live oaks, a screened pavilion, and amenities like flush toilets, showers, and a dining hall equipped with a kitchen, this site is tailored for family reunions, weddings, or group retreats.

The campground’s flat, grassy terrain is ideal for tents, while RVs are welcome (though no hookups are available). Outdoor enthusiasts can indulge in activities such as kayaking, canoeing, and fishing in the nearby river, or explore local trails like the St. Francis Trail. Visitors can engage in group-friendly games like softball and volleyball in the open recreation field. For a short excursion, the enchanting Blue Spring State Park is within a 30-minute drive, renowned for manatee viewing and crystal-clear waters.

Located within Florida’s Ocala National Forest, just across the river from DeLand, this campground provides easy access to one of the state’s most celebrated natural areas. Whether hosting a large event or enjoying a quiet escape near the water, River Forest Group Campground promises a memorable outdoor experience.
