This full-service Wawa sits right on I-75 at Exit 384, making it the natural fuel and resupply point for overlanders hitting the Paynes Prairie circuit or the Florida National Scenic Trail’s Ocala section. Clean restrooms, hot food counter, and all the usual truck stop amenities. Diesel pumps can handle big rigs, and there’s plenty of room to maneuver overlanding setups.
Open 24/7 year-round, which matters when you’re getting an early start on summer trails to beat the heat. The location puts you 15 minutes from Paynes Prairie’s main entrance and 45 minutes from Salt Springs in the Ocala.
