Located in Volusia County near the historic town of Leesburg, this campground provides an excellent base for exploring central Florida's lakes, wildlife, and outdoor recreation opportunities.
The park sits along the shores of Lake Griffin, one of Florida's largest and most scenic freshwater lakes. This pristine setting creates an ideal environment for nature enthusiasts who want to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life while still enjoying modern camping conveniences. The lake itself is a major draw, offering opportunities for fishing, boating, and water-based activities that have made it popular with anglers and water sports enthusiasts for generations. Whether you're an experienced angler seeking largemouth bass and other freshwater species, or simply someone who enjoys being near the water, Lake Griffin provides abundant opportunities to enjoy Florida's aquatic environments.
The area surrounding Lake Griffin State Park is rich with natural beauty and wildlife viewing opportunities. Central Florida's landscape features cypress swamps, marshlands, and pine forests that support diverse ecosystems. Birdwatchers will find this location particularly rewarding, as the park and surrounding areas host numerous species throughout the year. The natural setting provides excellent opportunities for nature photography, peaceful walks, and quiet reflection.
Leesburg, the nearby county seat, offers cultural attractions and dining options for those seeking activities beyond the campground. The downtown area features historic architecture, local restaurants, and shops that reflect the authentic character of inland Florida. The region's history spans centuries, with stories of early settlement and development woven throughout the landscape and local establishments.
This campground appeals to diverse travelers: retirees seeking peaceful winter retreats, families wanting to introduce children to nature and outdoor recreation, fishing enthusiasts pursuing trophy catches, and nature lovers drawn to Florida's pristine ecosystems.

Very clean park with two nice walking trails. Spacious boat/kayak ramp. Park benches for breaks throughout the trail. Picnic tables were open. Dog friendly. People fishing along the river. Saw a guy catch a catfish. No gators or manatees but there was quite a bit of human activity so probably not a bad thing. The kids playground looked fun.

Beautiful state park of the water. Can access by boat or car. The Picnic area has restrooms, paved and non-paved accessible picnic tables. Plenty of wildlife and a few bench around for resting areas.

Pretty and peaceful, some walking trails, kayaks for rent and boat tours. Plenty of picnic tables. The biggest oak tree in Florida has its house here.

I've driven by here a 100 times, finally decided to check it out. The park is small, but packs a big punch. Nice pavilions, nice boat launch, great trail, and of course the BIG oak tree.

This is a nice park, except for the fact that it does not have much to do unless you’re going to be boating. It does have the second largest oak tree which takes about 5 min to look at and then a small trail that is over in under an hour. We also did a 1 hour boat tour that was fun, but basically everything you can do here takes about 2 hours tops. Everything was clean, the staff was awesome and t...

Everything was clean, the staff was awesome and the camp sites were nice sized and had good tree coverage. If you plan to stay they day/night here then you will have a fun time, but anything more then a day and you will not have anything to do.
