Gores Landing is located in northeast Marion County & offers primitive camping, a boat ramp, restroom and picnic tables on the Ocklawaha River. Camping is available on a first-come, first-served basis. This state-owned property is leased to the county commission, which has managed the facility since 1966.
beautiful, shady, out of the way spot, great for a summer picnic or quick hike.
What a fun trip! Tons of wildlife and alligators along the river. Found a small area to dock, and eat some sandwich’s. Great family time
Absolutely love Gores landing for camping and kayaking. Great group site. Walk-ups only, 1st come 1st served. They have flush toilets, but the water is sulfur water, so bring your own fresh drinking water. Primitive, no hookups.
Only bad thing to say…it depends on who the caretaker is. Went there once and the guy’s main goal of his job was to get away from people. We were a group of 40, and he clearly didn’t want us there.
This is a great place to launch or camp. The entrance sign is very misleading because it's on the Left side of the street and nowhere near the camping area or launch! You have to continue several hundred yards down the road and it's on the right with no signage until you're already inside the park. There's also no cell phone reception there.
They have showers but they are outside in the open with no privacy and sulfur water that stinks. Make sure you bring your own water. Bring exact change for camping or parking to feed the Iron Ranger.
