Title: Crew and camping question
Post by: Crewsing on October 18, 2011, 10:13:17 PM
I have been looking for a place to take my ranger crew and a couple four wheelers.  Plus pull a camper and spend a couple nights.  I live in jacksonvile Florida and I will drive a couple hours if the places worth it.  We are looking for some mud, hills, and trails.  I will be bringing some kids too.  seems like a lot of places to choose from out there.  Just looking for some advice.  Thanks for any help.

Croom but then you have to buy a Florida Div of Foresty sticker for each quad, right now 50 bucks.  The campground is also closed on Tue and Wesdays.  It does have hot showers and up to date restrooms
Ocala National forest, you have to buy a permit there to but I think a three day is 10 bucks per rider but not 100 percent on that one.  Two campgrounds in the forest, Big Scrub and Lake Delancy plus a few privates you can camp at and ride from the campground but not sure about the private ones have only stayed at the ones run by the forestry service.  There are other private ride places Motoplex and Dirty Foot but they have weekend hours only.   Hope I was of some help.

Welcome to the forum!! Patches206 gave you a few good places unfortunately Croom doesn't allow SXS on there trails.  ONF does on the north trails I have seen RZS there. If you look @ the top of the page go to Where to Ride. It will give you some more choices & brief descriptions
of the places.

Welcome to the forum

Dirty Foot Adventures allow side by side but their trails and campgrounds won’t be open till some time in January of 2012.  When they reopen they plan to have bathrooms and showers along with 40 electric hookups. They don’t have hills but they do have nice trails and places to ride in the mud and they are a family orientated ATV park. There is a Google Earth Map of the park that has pictures of the trails and campgrounds You can get it here  http://www.dirtyfootadventures.com/map/ (http://www.dirtyfootadventures.com/map/) scroll to bottom of page for map download.


Croom also has a Google Earth Map with pictures. They have a lot of trails and an old phosphate mine with plenty of hills to climb. But No SXS allowed as mentioned.  Get Map here http://www.tampabayridindirty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2455 (http://www.tampabayridindirty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2455)

I also have some video of DFA and Croom trails http://www.youtube.com/user/Thunderdualy?feature=mhee (http://www.youtube.com/user/Thunderdualy?feature=mhee)

We like H&H Atv park it's in Jesup Ga. (about 1.5 hours or so from Jax.) it's small but pretty nice we always go during the week and usually have the whole place to ourself's it's likely a zoo on weekends,Camping is free but i don't think he has hookups,he does have a covered picnic area,a real bathroom & a shower,BBQ grill & hoses to wash your atv's,He will not tolerate Any drinking on the property http://www.handhatvridepark.com/ (http://www.handhatvridepark.com/)

Thanks for info. Looks like we are planning a weekend trip to ONF.  And a couple days trips, one to mudmuckers and one to soggy bottom.
