Lake Eaton Campground

Nice quiet campground did not use the pit toilet

The space was clean and spacious for primitive camping. It was half empty and quiet fairly often which was really nice. The bathroom was one of those vault-types and the water was a pump well. There’s no boil the water sign at the well? I used it for cleaning pots and pan but not for brushing my teeth or cooking. The lake was beautiful and decent for fishing (if you ever caught anything, I didn’t). The trash cans by the lake side were over flowing so make sure you take your trash to the camp garbage cans. But I would come again!

The campground was fine, with one exception- the TICKS. I have never been at another campground with so many ticks. We pulled dozens of the little buggers off the dog, and a good handful off ourselves, even with bugspray. I've camped at Juniper Springs and Alexander Springs, both also in the Ocala National Forest, and never even had to worry about them. I have no idea what this place is doing differently, but they are a problem.

Lake Eaton is a fantastic spot to camp with friends. Only thing that could have been better maintained is the outhouse. Needed more enzymes methane was horrible.

Very well maintained. Not crowded!

Peaceful
