Chassahowitzka River campground slated to remain open with help from Citrus County

County commissioners agree to take over the campground, which had been headed for closure by the Southwest Florida Water Management District. A popular campground at a freshwater spring in Citrus County will likely stay open to the public after all.

County commissioners agreed to take over the facility for the next 40 years. The Chassahowitzka River campground had been slated to be closed by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, which said repairing damage from last year's hurricanes would be too costly.
