I am looking for a place to ride my Rhino, but also enjoy camping. Big Scrub looks like a vacant lot as far as camping is concerned. Any ideas. I have seen a lot of info on Big Scrub and Lake Delancy, which is better?

Lake Delancy is pretty nice for camping, trees, lakes and nice trails but can get very crowded, the other place is a big lot.

We prefer Delancy.  It is another 45 minutes from Orlando for us, but there are 4 times as many trails.  The campground at Delancy is a little more primitive but we like it better.  Be sure you meet all of the requirements that went into effect as of July 2008.

Hope to see you out there sometime!

We used to camp a lot at scrub back in 04 and 05. One thing about scrub is it has water spigots and Delancy doesn't. Make sure if you have a camper or toy hauler you bring extra water. I have a 55 gallon drum with a pump for dry camping that works pretty well. I just fill it up when I get close to the campground along with my camper fresh tank. Delancy has lot's of shade and IMO now that they closed all the trails at scrub it sucks down there. Maybe with the economy being in the gutter they'll make some nicer riding areas so more people will come and actually enjoy riding out there. They charge $10 for a 3 day pass which is about all it's worth. Another thing to mention about scrub is they did build showers and as of 2 weeks ago I didn't see showers at Delancy. If they would just put the ammenities of scrub at Delancy it would be the better choice.

1 other option depending on how to get your machine to the trailhead is the campground on Rodman Road. It has full hookups and nice bathrooms. Used to be $11 a day but I hear that doubled as well. Also I think a state trooper lives there and he rides around a lot.
