Travel
Silver Springs is right outside of Ocala, Fl. which is about an hour and a half from Orlando.
If you plan to stay late or drink alcohol, it is recommended you book a nearby hotel or Airbnb. I do not condone drinking and driving, especially not on country roads late at night.
I have searched nearby hotels and am only putting the ones with good ratings and reviews here. Please feel free to check Airbnb or the camping accommodations at Silver Springs park. (links below)
