Had a great ride with my son last week. No problems with him riding there. Look forward to going back. Quick note, they told me they are closing gates at 6pm until further notice. Budget issues I guess. Thanks for the info guys.

Glade to hear you and your son had a good time at Croom. If your interested you can download a Google Earth map that shows all the lettered trails and also has photos of different parts of the park plus points of interest. You can get it here http://www.tampabayridindirty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2455. Just save the zip file to either your desktop or a folder unzip and click on the KML file and it will bring Croom up in Google Earth, You must have Google earth installed. |

I heard they shut down the camp ground and that they are only opened 3 days a week.
How true is this? Has anyone else heard this story?

Yes, this is true. Did not get the full story but, due to "cut backs" the campground is temporarily closed. Riding is open 8-6 closed Monday & Tuesday. This information was given to me by the ranger that answered my call Monday 8-29-11  |

I really think they screwed up when they raised the camping rates and the so call camp host (what a butt) entered into the picture.
Croom was a cash cow for the state until they got greedy. I paid $80.00 a year per bike (4) and $12.00 a nite to camp. But then they raised it to $24.00 a nite. If they had left everything the way they were for a lot of years, the state would still have there cash cow. But when they was charging $55.00 per bike we figured they made about $450,000.00 is sticker sales in one year, not including the $12.00 per nite per camp site. That was a lot of money the state just gave up because of their own greed. Put Croom back to the was it was and start making money again.
This is just my opinion.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. If you went every weekend, that's $1.15 per bike for 52 weekends a year.

Went up Labor Day and the road to the campground was chained off. The sticker was 60 bucks and for a holiday it was a lite crowd. They are closed on Tue and Wensdays.

Still $60.00 a year is a lot of money when you can't camp. I can't afford
the gas for a day trip when I live 70 miles 1 way away. What is the deal
with shutting down the camp ground any ways?

We talk to the front gate, the campground will open as soon as a live in ranger is hired,as the last ranger resigned!Once the ranger is hired,the campground will open up and most likely will be 7 days a week!Should be soon!
