About Astor Forest
Campsites
Astor Forest Campsites, located between the St. Johns River and the Ocala National Forest, is a rustic and outdoorsy Astor neighborhood with sandy lanes and canal-front lots. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Astor Bridge on FL-40, where bait shops, river marinas, and low-key eateries set the day’s pace. Homes lean toward cabins, manufactured residences, and camp-style setups with screened porches and boat parking. Life here tracks the water, with docks, airboats, and fishing skiffs moving through the canals. The landscape reads as palmetto, pine, and river light, with dark skies at night. Nearby public land and boat ramps shape a practical, gear-ready rhythm.

RIVERFRONT, amazing location directly the end of the canal with beautiful St. John’s Riverfront! Double boathouse with garage doors that connect to the house. House has a ton of rooms and plenty of storage space. Will need a TLC, kitchen remodel and exterior tree removal was never finished. Replaced 245’ of aluminum seawall which cost $54,000 in 2008 and a metal roof in 2003, although SeaWall needs work. Close to the many springs, Lake George, and many other amenities. This property has an amazing location, take this and make it your own for one of a few direct waterfront parcels on the St. John’s River. All information including room measurements is deemed reliable but not guaranteed, house and land sold in AS-IS Condition.
