Shangri-La Trailhead and Campground

If you are looking for an idyllic spot to go camping during Florida's mild winters, or if you are looking to hike, bike and particularly to take a horseback ride, then this is your place. Located along the southern boundary of the Cross Florida Greenway in the rolling sandhills 5 miles west of I-75 off of the County Road 484 exit. Situated just south of one of the historic sea-level Cross Florida Ship Canal diggings, Shangri La provides optimal access and overnight opportunities to explore the myriad network of well-marked trails through xeric hammock. Shangri-La has an ample day-use equestrian and bike trailhead with a picnic pavilion and restrooms with potable water. The campground has 24 campsites. The compacted shell sites have communal water and a full bathhouse facility. The sites do not have power; however, generators are acceptable to use except during quiet hours. There are also two covered picnic pavilions in the campground. Campground hosts are on-site 365 days a year. The campground also has nearby supply shops as well as numerous restaurants only a couple of miles away.
