River boat ramp in Citrus County. Built in 2010, the main boat ramp is one of the best Citrus County boat ramps. Get your bait and tackle at our fishing store.
Office/Store - Besides being a great place to watch wildlife, the Chassahowitzka River Camp Store stocks all kinds of stuff needed for camping, fishing, snacking & amusement.  It  also features a local crafts/art area within the store.  Here you will also find postcards & other souvenirs branded with the Chassahowitzka River Campground moniker.  After visiting our camp store, no relative will ever accuse you of returning with just a "lousy t-shirt" but we have those too. Front Deck - The spacious front deck overlooks the main lagoon where all the waterside activity occurs. To one side of it lies a natural area where feeders attract hummingbirds, bats, cardinals, titmice, & squirrels.  From this point you can also see a 900+ year old cypress tree, the likes of which were logged extensively during the late 1800s.  For your relaxing pleasure are ample picnic seating & a few benches.  Just try to sit & not be impressed by the views & nature! Boat House - Originally Miss Maggie's bait & fishing store, this small building & covered dock now houses the kayak & other vessels rental concession.  It also is a favorite gathering place for campers & locals to catch up on happenings, as well as a wonderful sound stage because the acoustics of the lagoon in front are akin to a natural amphitheater.   Boat Ramp - Replaced & upgraded in 2010, the main boat ramp is one of the best in Citrus County. It's big enough for launching two vessels at once & features a grooved concrete surface so you never have to worry about traction. If you're a people watcher, it's also a great place to hang out & watch the amazing variety of boats & other watercraft & the associated human antics. As well, paddlers have a gently sloping sandy “beach” beside the boat ramp for easy launches. Parking - A large paved parking lot abuts the camp store & dock/ boat ramp area. While using the boat ramp for launching is free, there is a small fee for parking a vehicle with or without a trailer. The charge for a vehicle is $5 - A vehicle w/ trailer is $7. It also features a bicycle parking rack & restrooms. Once the parking lot is full - We close down our parking area. Playground - We are a family friendly establishment and are excited to announce our new fenced in playground. Here your littles can enjoy the day and you can enjoy some peace of mind. WiFi Signals - Broadcasting throughout the RV camping area & the riverside dock area are WiFi signals which require codes for connections. The signal in the RV area features high download volume capability so campers can get streaming TV channels such as NetFlix. Kayak Storage Rental - We feature a building with rental lockers for your kayak up to 18 feet long. Rent them daily, weekly or monthly; bring or buy your own lock. This way, your kayak is always close to the water and ready to launch. Firewood - We sell large, seasoned, dry firewood bundles for your convenience.
