Orange Lake RV Resort

Orange Lake RV Resort is an RV park located in Citra, Florida, a small community situated just north of Ocala along the US 301 corridor in Marion County. The park provides full-hookup RV sites for travelers and seasonal residents looking for a convenient base in Central Florida. Its location near Interstate 75 makes it easily accessible from the major north-south travel route through the state, and its proximity to Ocala—approximately 15 to 20 miles to the south—puts guests within easy reach of shopping, dining, medical services, and the area's many natural attractions.

The Citra area sits in the northern part of Marion County, surrounded by the rolling agricultural landscape that Central Florida is known for. Citrus groves, horse farms, and open pastureland characterize the scenery around the park, offering a more rural and quiet setting compared to the busier commercial corridors closer to Ocala. For RV travelers who prefer a peaceful environment while still having access to urban amenities a short drive away, this location strikes a practical balance.

Orange Lake RV Resort is particularly popular with snowbirds—seasonal residents from northern states and Canada who travel south to escape cold winters. Central Florida's mild winter climate, with average daytime temperatures in the 60s and 70s from November through March, makes the region one of the most popular snowbird destinations in the country. An RV park near Ocala offers snowbirds the advantages of a well-established community with excellent healthcare facilities, diverse shopping options, and a busy calendar of community events and outdoor recreation opportunities.

The broader Ocala area provides a wealth of activities for RV travelers. Silver Springs State Park, one of Florida's oldest and most iconic natural attractions, features crystal-clear artesian springs and glass-bottom boat tours. The Ocala National Forest, the southernmost national forest in the continental United States, offers hiking trails, natural swimming springs, and campgrounds spread across nearly 400,000 acres. Fishing enthusiasts will find productive waters in area lakes, the Ocklawaha River system, and the numerous spring-fed waterways that run through the region. Downtown Ocala's historic square provides shops, restaurants, and cultural venues within a charming walkable district.
