ATV Florida Forum

We have found a great RV park and campground in Vernon, Florida with 600 plus acres of great ATV and side by side riding trails with many miles of surrounding dirt roads. There are multiple lakes, (low water levels at this time), located all around the property.  The beautiful Holmes Creek, additional lakes and boat ramps are nearby.  There is also good fishing, bicycling, hiking and relaxation here.  There are even horse pens and dedicated horse trails located here.There is a strict speed limit of 5 MPH in the campground area and a 10:00 PM quiet time, but the many trails can be rode responsibly and respectfully.   When horses are present, please respect and do not spook the animals.  Hell raising here will not be tolerated, but clean and great fun is encouraged.  Following a few simple common sense rules here will assure many great camping and riding times for the future.  This place is very lax for responsible people.  Avoid the private and posted properties in the area and be respectful of the hunters on private land surrounding some of the property.  Unfortunately there is no hunting allowed, but the abundant wildlife is astounding. The campground only charger $20.00 per night including water and electric, or $30.00 per night for concrete pads with 50 amp and sewer full hook up.   There are also rental 2 bedroom 2 bath town houses and a cabin available on site.  There are men and women bath houses and washing machines on the property.  Reservations are recommended but most likely not necessary.   The park managers Linda and Billy are great people.  This is a family oriented quiet place that hosts quite a few events.    This may be one of Vernon's best kept secrets.  It is a little ways off the beaten path.    Please respect each other and the environment here.  This nice campground is quite private with very beautiful grounds with plenty of large oak trees and cypress.    Contact Linda at (850)773-3992 and tell her Ron from RV Trax sent you from the  ATV Florida club.  The address is 3900 New Jerusalem Road Vernon, Florida 32462.   Visit the website at   www.thegrovesrvretreat.com/location.html (http://www.thegrovesrvretreat.com/location.html)  Please be responsible and respectful so we all can enjoy now and in the future.  Thanks.
