This is a lovely spot for a quiet natural experience in central Florida. No hookups but water is available. It is Kierkegaard shady, it’s horse-friendly so you may encounter their waste but we didn’t find it a problem. Friendly and helpful staff. A very “chill” place for a quiet respite and exploring the area, along with nearby Ross Prairie which is another nice spot (with hookups)

Nice shaded sites on the outside loop. Great restrooms with showers. Shelter 1 has electric if you need to charge electronics. Horses are allowed in the campground so you might encounter what they leave behind. Bike trailhead is in park but it is a .8 mile of deep sand to reach the trail. Lots of horse trails. Sites do not have water but it’s available.

In continuing to explore the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway, we selected Shangri-La for the weekend part of our adventure as it had availability. While no hook-ups, the sites are very well spaced so you can get some decent privacy and not hear your neighbor's generators as loudly. But the site right next to the neighborhood feel a bit tight and visible. The park itself is lovely, heavy with trees, well kept bathhouse and very friendly hosts. There's a simple 1 mile trail out to the amazing paved trail that connects you to Ross Prairie, Santos, Land Bridge and a network of easy and moderate mountain bike trails. We had a blast exploring, and really enjoyed the campground as well. Probably wouldn't be a spot we'd go to in summer however, just too hot out for running the AC over a generator constantly. But the rest of the year, if you can do off-grid, this is a lovely option! Great cellular reception on all of our carriers, no problems getting online, streaming video at night and getting work done in-between our trail time.

I spent 3 weeks between these three campgrounds in order to fully explore the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway. All three of these campgrounds are great. Santos and Ross Prairie have W/E sites and all three have dump stations. Water is available at Shangri-La and the sites are quite large since many of them are set up for horse trailers. The layout here is essentially a big number "8" with the sites starting at 1 immediately to the right as you enter past the office and doing a full circle to site 18. Sites 19-24 are across the midsection. There are lots of tall trees so nearly all sites have at least partial shade (sites 18/19/20 might be the most open). The sites on the northwest side and center (3-8, 21-24) are very shaded. Of course, this is winter so some sites might be brighter when the sun is higher. Some campers were using generators but it was barely noticeable unless you were right on top of them. Most sites are quite level and furnished with a fire ring, picnic table, lamp post, and highlines for horses. The bike and hiking path to the main (paved) greenway is immediately opposite site 24 and is essentially 1 mile to the paved Greenway that runs 16 miles from SR200 (Ross Prairie) to Santos. In addition, there are multiple horse trails, the Cross Florida Hiking Trail, and several mountain bike trails, all very well marked. Hard to believe all this is in the midst of suburban sprawl. Santos seems to be the most consistently filled though all 3 fill on the weekends. Access to both Ross Prairie and Santos are an easy turnoff from main roads, but Shangri-La literally takes you through the back streets of a suburban neighborhood. My $18/day rate doesn't include the additional fees & taxes. Getting OTA channels was difficult at best and with the tree cover, using satellite was hit or miss depending on where you are. Cellular signals for AT&T and T-Mobile were excellent hitting 100 down & 10-20 up most of the time.
