Saddle Creek Park — Attraction in Florida

We stayed at the small campground here. The nice guy who runs the campground is kind and helpful. They have very strict rules (no extra tents on Rv sites(my dogs sleep in a tent), no fire pits. There is no full hook ups yet they charge a $10 dumping fee at the dump station. It’s cash or check only which is odd. Rules aren’t they posted anywhere at the campground or online so wish I would have known some of this before. It was pretty cheap though-$20/night. They don’t however take reservations and it’s first come first served. Which was good for us when we came the week between Christmas and New Years to visit Orlando without Rv reservations—but bad because we couldn’t guarantee our spot while we headed down there. There were many many run down campers and people that looked like they lived there—not great atmosphere. “Spots” were really close together.

Nice place to go and do some fishing .

They need to put more picnic areas in. they do have walking trails in the back . I forgot to take pictures I will update this later with...

The park itself is clean and seems to have a lot of open land with pretty landscapes which makes this next part so confusing.

I had gone to the park for camping and my review is for that: There is a $15 fee for non-county residents per evening, and the area for camping is closer to an unpaved parking lot than a camping ground.

One other thing I found odd was how small and close the camping spaces were; they seemed to have a lot of beautiful open land but all I could notice was the crack of bullets from the nearby public firing range.
