I am not new to the Ocala National Forest, however, after recently purchasing a camper trailer, I am new to camping in the forest.  Is there  any good campsites other tha big scrub that you can ride quads striaght from camp onto the trails?  I am looking for someplace that either has electrical hookups or no rules on how late you can run a generator.  Anyone know of such a place?

check out lake delancey near Rodman Dam.  I haven't stayed there but have seen people staying there.  You can ride right from your campground.   Have fun and good luck! I just bought a pop up and plan to put it to good use too!

Whatever you do, if you stay at big scrub LOCK YOUR S*** UP!!!!! Lots of theives around there. Trust me they got me for about 30K. The only thing good about that camp is the fact that you can ride right from you camp site. Good luck. Smiley
