West Florida Off Road Park — Inglis, FL

13208 US Hwy 19, Inglis, FL

If you like mud that doubles as a personality test for your vehicle, meet West Florida Off Road (WFO). This is an event-driven playground where trucks, Jeeps, and people who think towing is cardio gather to tear up trails, race, and make spectacularly questionable decisions that look great in photos.

WFO is an event-only park that opens roughly once or twice a month for weekend events filled with mudholes, trails, and organized mud shows and races that are family-friendly enough for cheering and dramatic enough for the folks filming the slow-motion recoveries. Their calendar leans heavily on scheduled events rather than daily access, so show up expecting a party weekend, not a casual Tuesday cruise.

  • Address: 13208 US Hwy 19, Inglis, FL (your GPS won't hate you).
  • Phone: 352-279-7676 (call if you're unsure about the next event or gate times).
  • Event setup and tickets: Most events use pre-purchase ticketing and have clearly posted times and rules; gates typically open for campers on the Friday before event weekends and follow a posted schedule for trail hours.
  • Reviews and hours listings: Local listings show WFO with strong community reviews and a general "event-based" status rather than daily operations.

Facts about scheduling, tickets, and event-specific details are posted on WFO's official site and event pages; check the event listing before you go.

Expect primitive camping only—no RV hookups—so bring a generator if you're clingy about electricity. There are no showers, port-a-potties are available, and a concession stand typically operates during event hours (the site lists concession service and vendor info). Pack like you're intentionally roughing it, but still like cold drinks and somewhere to sit.

  • Waivers are required for everyone entering; minors need a parent-signed waiver at the gate.
  • Events may restrict vehicle types and impose wheelbase or weight limits for specific trails and races—some events limit entries to Jeeps, small SUVs, and small trucks and prohibit V-treads and heavy equipment, with particular rules posted per event.
  • Bring your recovery gear, a tow strap, a charged phone, water, sun protection, and a patient attitude; you will get stuck or watch someone else get stuck (or both).

For vendor or camping specifics, pre-registration is recommended, as camping availability can be limited on big weekends.

  • Buy camping passes early; once the cap is hit, no on-site camping is sold. The Friday camper window often has strict arrival times—don't be the person who shows up at noon expecting a miracle.
  • If you want quieter trails, arrive early when gates open for the day; afternoons get loud and glorious.
  • Be courteous: the park runs on volunteers, paid staff, and a lot of grit—leave it better than you found it and don't treat the area like a demolition derby staging ground.

Final verdict

West Florida Off Road is precisely what it promises: scheduled weekends full of mud, noisy good times, and practical, primitive camping. If your idea of a family day includes cheering at a mud race and swapping recovery tips by a campfire, this place should be on your list. If you want daily access and shower faucets that sing, bring a different plan.
