Great video! I've been going to Silver Lake for 50 years.

[@williamsporing1500]

I wouldn’t let my dog run around the river bank like that anywhere in Florida. My brother in law lives right on the withlacoochee, about 5 miles from silver lake. I see gators there all the time, and they loves dogs. Keep your eyes open for boar too. Had a run in with a big one last year on the bike trail, had to draw my side arm. Once again, don’t let your dog anywhere near the water!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thanks for that warning! We did see some hunters off in a distance as we went down the river and thought we heard some noises that could have been a boar.

Seems like a nice little campground. Thanks for the quality videos you always put out!

@@CampTravelExplore - did you bring wood or collect it onsite? I don't travel with an ax! The sight of wood burning surprised me. Isn't the wood on-sire dump? Also, did you cook with wood or charcoal? Thanks.

[@bartwesp4303]

Enjoyed one of your original style videos!

Beautiful river, looks like a wonderful natural experience. Nice to see you out tent camping, but Cindy looked dressed for the Arctic Circle. 😁

[@CampTravelExplore]

Lol, it was cold for Florida! Did some research on electric heaters after that trip!! :)

[@GrandAdventure]

@@CampTravelExplore check out the Mr. Heat Buddy heater. It's a catalytic heater that runs on 1 lb propane bottes and is indoor safe.

[@CampTravelExplore]

@@GrandAdventure would it be safer than electric do you think?

[@GrandAdventure]

@@CampTravelExplore neither one is truly "safe" in a tent due to the fire risk; however, the Buddy heater pumps out a ton of heat. We've used one extensively over the years.

[@stevetrimborn3739]

I really like that place. i camped at site 5 before. Cypress Glen is a little better to shield you from the I-75 noise

[@CampTravelExplore]

Great insight, TY!!

[@kathiefilkins445]

Absolutely nothing there when we used to camp there.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Wow, how long ago was that? We were impressed just in the upgrades from camping there three years back. Thanks for checking it out for us!!

[@tegoblue]

What time of year were you there please?

[@joellynjohnson1191]

Couldn’t find your link to the tent on my phone. Can you put it here ? Thanks.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Here you go, see if this works for you..Here is the Tent we used...amzn.to/34Pqwar

[@jordanandmia3558]

what kind of boat is that?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Not to sure on that, It was my son in laws boat. I will ask him for you :)

[@davidvaughan8076]

Do you know what the depth of the lake is?

[@CampTravelExplore]

I don't know that for sure, but the river was quite low compared to the last time we camped there!!

[@pigybak]

Full hook ups?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Power and water only as they have a dump station.

[@hikewithmike4673]

It is a nice campsite but the proximity to the interstate and the noise ruins the nature vibe

[@CampTravelExplore]

I hear ya, but there was a second campground right there but more secluded if you ever want to check it out!!

[@sickspleen]

I would vol. my services if u gave me an unlimited supply of anti-wasp spray

[@daveoliphant8866]

Good way to lose a dog in Florida.

[@jandlfaulkner]

Real real stupid letting your dog be even close to the water more or less in the water. Have you heard of alligators eating dogs? It happens so fast that there would be nothing you can do- PERIOD ! Except to hear the dog scream and watch. Dumb move bro.
