Where to stay in High Springs area

O'Leno State Park, its not free but it is a nice place to camp.
I have stayed there several times, sites have electricity and water and the showers are decent.

Thanks for all the help, I actually found an old friend from high school to stay with

So would you guess this rest area would be safe for a motor home?

I would think so, but I haven't personally stayed at that one.

To update this thread, Lynn and I got a motor home in October and took it to Florida for the social, then left it in stairman's yard while we went on a cruise, then took it to the panhandle. We stopped in two rest areas on the interstates - both advertised armed nighttime security (and we saw the security guards at both places) and had plenty of parking spaces big enough for 18-wheelers. The one we really liked was just east of Marianna - it had a half-mile drive off the highway such that we couldn't even hear traffic. And a motorcyclist had set up a tent in the grass.

These places were pretty much "campgrounds without hookups." I look forward to staying at them many, many times in the future.

(BTW, Wal-Mart's official policy is that RVs can stay in their parking lots overnight for free with a few exceptions, such as Bike Week in Daytona and such.)

I have slept at many Florida rest areas in my travels. I have never had a problem or issue of any kind.
