Discover Lakeland


For The Outdoor Enthusiast

Less than two hours outside of the city, Ocala and Silver Springs, FL host beautiful experiences that spread across miles of choice outdoor locations.

With its breathtaking, crystal-clear freshwater spring, the Juniper Springs Recreation Area features popular picnic facilities, a swimming hole, campgrounds, and a quaint mill house. Many other favorited spots are housed in the sand pine scrub forests and along a number of the natural pools.

A huge advantage when you rent an RV in Lakeland is that you can bring a lot of your comforts with you when exploring. For starters, the Ocala National Forest is definitely a place worth visiting. As with all national forests, Ocala is full of public land, where you stake your own claim for a while.

Travel trailer rentals in Lakeland are another fantastic option, especially when visiting the designated Ocala National Forest developed campgrounds; Big Bass Campground (open October through April) and Big Scrub Campground. Be advised, certain trails may require permits if you are also planning on enjoying some off-roading adventures.

Salt Springs Campground is another well-visited spot and is one of the few areas with full hookups. Here, enjoy the large campground as well as comfortable seclusion in well-shaded, roomy sites.

If your RV rental in Lakeland, FL has you wanting to enjoy your stay somewhere between the open outdoors and a closer community, there are plenty more RV parks and resorts available to suit your exact needs!
