Black Horse Resort Ranch is a beautiful campground nestled into a nook of the Ocala National Forest, surrounded on 3 sides by the forest itself. This is truly a place to enjoy nature, camping, campfires, and good company, in a place that feels like home. Founder of Black Horse, JoAnn Cosgrove, would welcome everyone who stayed with "you’re family here.” That is at the heart of our ranch, and we truly hope this will become your home away from home.

We offer 30 and 50amp sites, there is a bath house with full bathrooms, hot water, and laundry, a Community Kitchen you are welcome to use, a screened in Pavilion for meals or hanging out, a POOL! (yes you read that right!) and an air conditioned Clubhouse with couches, games, and wifi. We also offer cabin and RV rentals, and golf cart and kayak rentals when available.

If you have horses, you'll love coming to Black Horse. Multiple trail heads sit right on property, and you literally step off the property and into a matrix of hundreds of miles of trails that you’ll never tire of! We have two barns, many outdoor stalls and paddocks, wash racks, and an extra large riding arena with a crows nest, bleachers, and stadium lighting.

There is world class fishing nearby at the St. John's River and we are right near many beautiful springs - which, if you have never spent time in a natural spring you will absolutely want to check that out! Kayaking, tubing, swimming galore in crystal clear waters. We are a 20 minute drive from the Villages which offers shopping, dining, and activities, as well as 20 minutes to historic Mount Dora which is a beautiful artsy downtown village. We are 1 hour from Daytona & New Smyrna, 1 hour from Orlando (Disney anyone?).

There is plenty to do on the ranch and nearby the ranch. You will have a blast. And at the end of the fun days…we'll see you by the campfire!
