Alexander Springs Recreation Area

We had a great time. The staff was very nice. Restrooms were clean. it was quiet.

The employees were very kind and knowledgeable, and the campground was clean. The Springs were beautiful!

The campsite and bathrooms were very clean....

The park is amazing, my only complaint is the bathrooms should be cleaner. I’ve been in many state camping parks, and bathrooms are better than the ones on Alexander.

Daughter and I had a great weekend. Definitely learned to just stay the night saw alot people turned away. Granted the weather was meh.

Bathrooms need some love and no trash cans in camping area even by the bathrooms. Had to walk to the springs for a trash can.

I love alexander springs. Lots of beautiful wildlife, amazing Orb Weavers all around. Lovely quiet campsite. The paddleboarding was fantastic, lots of gators, otters and all kinds of fish. Always a treat to be able to enjoy this place

I showed up for a rental pavilion. It was not ready to be rented. Poisonous spiders draping every corner and table. Rust covered tables were not inviting. Some missing adequate hardware to be safe. Rental listing came with 3 grills 2 of which were unusable. One totally missing the entire bottom of the grill. I reached out asking for help and was denied. Don’t plan your kids birthday here with a pavilion rental. They are in shambles. We self cleaned and made it by with one grill but I won’t be renting here again. Grew up at this place and sadly I don’t think the rental pavilions are maintained at all. Grounds staff say that’s not their job it’s Inventures job. Inventure says it’s not their job because they aren’t onsite. This system has failed this beautiful Florida park. I hope they can remedy this for future families.

We were in Loop B Site 20; we found the site small with a small sharp incline coming off the parking pad into the site making the toting of gear a tripping concern. One end of the picnic table was tangled into some underbrush. Water spigots are shared between sites; ours was less than 20 paces away. The bathrooms and showers were nice and there was a dedicated dishwashing closet with a sink and counter. The walk to the spring was lovely, the facilities in the recreation area were clean and pleasant. The walk through the picnic area was magical with nearly every picnic area occupied by happy gatherings; there was enough space so no one crowded another. The spring was cold and gorgeous! We had a terrific time and would like to come back.

The staff at the park were wonderful. We had multiple interactions with Brian specifically and he was very nice and friendly. I would have preferred to be able to drive and park at the spring as I have bad knees, but overall we had a good time.
