Hog Island Recreation Area, Campground & Kayak Launch

"It's the best campground around Bushnell florida it so quite . Not much internet . Or tv ...and the cheapest around in bottle gas .... we live it here"

"This campground would receive a 3 star rating if it weren't for the ticks. My God the ticks at this campground are unbelievable! They're absolutely everywhere and sprays aren't very effective. When they get you it takes a month to heal from the bite. It's reasonably priced, conveniently located right by the Withlacoochee River complete with a little launch for kayaks and canoes, it has showers (which are not well maintained), a spot for trash, running water at every campsite, and friendly patrons. Even with all the good considered, it still deserves a low rating for the out of control ticks."

"Near perfect! This is a beautiful campground on the river. Campsites are huge, especially #13. Most are shaded with some sun for solar. There is a bathhouse with flush toilets, sinks and hot showers. Each site had potable water. There is a trash bin and pomp out station. All this for $10/night. However, the ticks are out of control. In gathering firewood around my site, I picked up 10 or so ticks. They are tiny and got on everything. 3 days later, I'm still finding them in the RV. Also, dogs are not allowed. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the ticks, but that would be a horrible combination. Cell service is spotty. T mobile had 2 to 3 bars."

"Beautiful place to paddle board. Free to launch. I went downstream a little ways , then turned left. I paddled upstream for 2 miles then turned around. It took 1-1/2 hours upstream and 50 minutes downstream. On March 20, the water was as shallow as 8 inches at times."

"This is a very nice campground, it has water on each campsite and a bathroom house with hot water in the center for all guests. Some campsites are not very private but they are all away from each other. On my first day we had 12 deers close to our campsite and also saw an armadillo, that already makes me happy. While the fishing wasn't as good as I expected, there are some very good fishing spots nearby. I would definitely stay here again in the future."
