Overview

In the stillness of the morning fog, a red-shouldered hawk calls out with an echo across Fore Lake. Bounded by marshes, this lake in a scrub ecosystem is an excellent spot for birding from the shores of Fore Lake Recreation Area, where visitors can picnic and swim, or make a night of it in one of the 31 campsites tucked away between the saw palmetto and oak trees. Bring your fishing gear to make full use of the pier and canoe launch area.

Had a great time as always at the campground - except for the unusually heavy 'skeeter presence. John does a great job as host. Always friendly and happy to help out.

The campground is beautiful, and the sites are very nice, but beware of the excessive number of mosquitoes. Bathrooms are ok, but unfortunately, it seems like spiderwebs and cocoons have not been removed in years! They need to do a better job there.

Such an awesome camping getaway! Fore Lake was a wonderful place to unplug, enjoy nature, and recharge. I left feeling happy and refreshed, and I would absolutely camp here again! Camp host was friendly and very helpful!

Fore Lake is in a lovely forest setting, however it’s condition makes enjoying the experience rather difficult. The roads are deeply rutted and slick with a layer of slime. The mosquito and insect population is intense. The hosts are to be commended for the wonderful job they do despite the conditions of the facility.

We chose this campground because easy commute to Silver Springs. It was quiet and the bathrooms were good. Not as much local hiking as I expected but the Sandhill Cranes made up for that. The fishing pier is in disrepair.

Unkempt. Trash not emptied. Disappointment. Little value for the price.
