Reconnect with nature but with all the amenities. You'll treasure your time at the memorable Turtle Cove Cottage at Salt Springs Resort. Come visit this gated resort located in the heart of the 387,000 acre Ocala National forest, with a pier, fishing, boat ramp, and beach on the spring fed lake - nestled amidst 100- year-old Oaks covered in Spanish moss.

Our Resort is clean, rich in nature, with big small town charm. We also have lots of amenities too, like bingo, poker, yoga, and more in our clubhouse. There is a hot tub, adult pool, family pool, and kiddie pool over looking the lake. Enjoy the tennis courts, shuffle board, playground, horseshoes, corn hole, and gameroom, even live bands on weekends under the pavilion with dance floor included. Sometimes food trucks visit, or go to the convenience market, Subway, or Pizza place, The Dollar General is right next door.

For the safety and relaxation of everyone, this is a gated HOA community. As such all guests must sign off on site rules before arriving. After a reservation is made, a form will arrive in your email from the Gatehouse. Their fee is $35 for this service, which can include a trailer, if you have one. Once onsite, you will get your own code to come and go as you please.

You can ride your quads, dirt bikes, and jeeps across the road. The Ocala North OHV Trail System offers 125 miles of trail which includes a 14-mile motorcycle-only trail; 35 miles of trail usable by motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and utility vehicles (UTVs) less than 50 inches wide; and 76 miles classified as "mixed use," which means OHVs share the trail with licensed vehicles. The Salt Springs Recreation area is right down the street with an average of 72 degree temperature salt water.

Turtle Cove Cottage is in the middle of the Ocala forest, Florida’s oldest national forest, encompassing over 600 lakes and rivers well suited for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and boating. There are hundreds of miles of unique walking trails through the forest, with plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting, bird watching, and photography. And I hear, the hunting is good too.

Whether enjoying a relaxing campfire with family or friends or any of our many things to do, you will find the area unique, diverse, and accommodating to a great life style. Something for everyone! Come enjoy all we have to offer!
