I wanted a place of peace, where I could have access to great hiking trails. That is exactly what I got. It has everything you need, and the lake is a really great view to wake up to. I haven't seen the stars so clearly at night since I've been underway in the Navy. Just be aware that although you are basically next to Ocala National Forest, all of the State Parks in Ocala National Forest are like 20 mins away from each other. I had a great time, and hope to come back.
