Lake Griffin State Park Florida

[jadebox]

We are in the middle of our first trip in our new Chateau RV, staying at Lake Griffin State Park in Fruitland Park, Florida.

It is a nice park that isn't too far from my Mom's place in The Villages. It is too hot this time of year to take much advantage of the nature trails and access to the Dead River. But we did visit the large Live Oak tree, which is pretty darn big. And we were visited by some of the locals around noon.

A mama and a cub bear visited the trail behind the campsites across from us. I only thought to grab my camera as they were walking away.

Thanks for that report and photo. We've been there and that tree is truly remarkable. If in future stays you want more of a resort experience, try Blueberry Hill over near I-75. Its great,
but you can never beat the state park rates.

If you want a four corners weigh, check the Escapees website. They have a scales at the Sumter Oaks campground in the cooler months.
