Holder Mine Campground

We normally stay at mutual mine which is very close but has no power. So we decided to try Holder mine, the campground is not very manicured and garbage dump area was full but bathroom were clean. Didn’t see the camp host till we went to complain about the noisy campers. The camp host site was the dirtiest nastiest campsite for a host that I’ve ever seen.. we probably won’t stay here again. We will go back to mutual mind very clean and quiet.

I just finished staying here, we spent 3 nights (Friday Afternoon - Monday Morning). The 27 Site Campground was nearly full on Saturday night, and nearly empty Sunday with only 8 sites filled. The reservation process was simple, and gives several discounts, Military Included. The Camground is down a limestone dirt road, that had a couple spots with several potholes and wash outs. But was passable with care in those areas. There is a Gate at the entrance guarded by a keypad, and Cell Coverage is very weak with AT&T - Verizon does better. so Write down your Gate Code before you get off the paved road or you may need to back track for service. Power was 50 or 30 Amp, and water had plenty of pressure. No Site Sewage, but a dump station on the left just after you pass the entrance only gate. The Restrooms are at the back of the campground, and the Men's room had 3 sinks, with hot & cold water, 1 Urinal, 2 Toilets, and 2 shower stalls. I never had to wait for restroom or showers. The grounds were well kept, except for a couple dog piles (yes dogs are allowed - leashed). Firewood was available near the Restrooms for a donation - but you'll need an axe to split it, only large OAK logs were there. we burned one whole, and it took 2 full days to burn. Fire Rings and Picnic Tables are at each site, a bit away from the parking pads. Speaking of - they are really solid, and I was on the largest in the campground, and not one crack. Trash building, is next to the exit gate, but requires a couple steps to get to the Flap/Door. So for those with disabilities, I suppose you would leave it next to the building, and the Ranger (who lives just in back of the Park), can take care of it when the make their rounds (which they do several times day and into the night). The Ranger also takes care of the Restrooms, which is where we met, and she was upbeat, and pleasant. You could tell she takes pride in her Campground.

I almost don't want to share a review because this campground is small, peaceful and a hidden gem that we love. Located 5 miles south of Inverness, Florida, in the middle of the Withlacoochee Forest with many trails for off road vehicles, hiking and horseback riding. The campsites are well maintained with large cement pads, water and electric hook ups, plenty of room between sites and fairly shaded. The bathhouse is large and very clean. We especially like staying here because it is centrally located for exploring Homosassa, Crystal River, Wiki Watchee, Chasshowitzka and manatee watching.

Monday March 9th my first day here very impressed so far passenger very clean and spacious the campground is very clean and spacious the fights are very large picnic table fire pit electric and water all included I'm paying $15 a night because of the senior rate the only thing I think they need to improve on is the entrance Road from the main road is dirt and it needs to be crated other than that everything is great you will be very impressed staying here. It is also very quiet and peaceful and relaxing
