Springs, rivers, and old-growth forests
About North Florida
North Florida offers a different side of the Sunshine State — cooler temperatures, crystal-clear springs, and ancient cypress forests. This region is home to the famous Ichetucknee Springs, Ginnie Springs, and the sprawling Ocala National Forest. Car campers love the uncrowded state parks and the chance to float down spring-fed rivers.
