Perennially popular with off-road vehicle enthusiasts, Big Scrub Campground sits in the Ocala National Forest in central Florida. A trailhead within the facility offers riders campsite-to-trail access.
Big Scrub Campground offers direct access to the 47-mile Ocala Adventure Trail. All off-road vehicle riders will enjoy exploring the Tread Lightly Four Wheel Drive Way. A permit is required for use of the trail system.

Big Scrub can accommodate tents, campers and RVs. The campground is equipped with showers, restrooms and drinking water.
The Ocala National Forest spans four counties and 383,000 acres. It is the southernmost and oldest national forest east of the Mississippi River and protects the world's largest contiguous sand pine scrub forest.
Miles of trails offer plenty of open space and blue skies for off-road vehicles.
The warm, turquoise waters of Alexander Springs are a short drive away. Visitors can swim, canoe and dive in a natural spring-fed lake and creek.
From I-75 east, travel on State Route 40 to Forest Road 588. Turn south on 588 and go approximately 8 miles. The campground is on the west side of the road.
Sites A and B = Full Hook up = $12 + $10 = $22 per night
Nice safe place. Hard to get to because of bumpy dirt roads. Sites are not level.
Had a great time camping here. Bathrooms are clean and have plenty of warm water. The camp also has a dish washing station we found cool if we were to camp in a tent. The camp ground host were great people. Can’t wait to come out and camp again.
The trails are wicked tough. Youll improve here in just a matter of days and hours. Big thanks for Chris and Garrett for their hospitality and showing me the ropes!! Ill deff be back this spring!! - Daniel
We stayed in #3 for 2 nights we had a blast riding the trails. The camp host I believe his name is Chris and his wife. The two of them are doing a fantastic job in keeping the campground and trails nice. They both were very friendly as well. Cant wait to get back out there.
Had a great time! Showers were clean and hot. The atv trail was super tight though. Definitely take it easy on there. Power line trail was awesome. You can't ride at night. We did rent a spot, that was a hill, so that was a bit uncomfortable for us. The dirt road to get there and leave was rough coming out because it rain the night before. Would I go back yes, but I won't take my atv on the tight trail.
