Alexander Springs Recreation Area

I stay here a few times a year. The staff is great!! I had a problem with a site not being large enough for my small group and they we very helpful to accommodate our needs. It is my go to camp area.

Camp site 46 was perfect for tent camping and I'll try to get it every time I camp at Alexander Springs Recreation Area. It had enough foliage around it to feel isolated while being conveniently close to the bathhouse. The spring wasn't very busy and the water was beautiful, even if it took a little time to adjust to how cold it was when swimming. Renting a canoe was straight forward and we had a great time canoeing lazily down the river. Canoeing back up the river was easy, even for someone out of shape like myself. Be sure to use the bear box, we had a raccoon or two visit looking for food to steal, but no bears thankfully.

Always have fun at Alexander! Went during the week, and had most of the park to ourselves. People are very nice and very professional. Campsites and bathrooms have always been clean, and no noisy or annoying campers. Campsites are usually a lot larger than Tomoka or Juniper Springs. Water in the spring is COLD when you first get in, but great way to escape the summer heat! Had to take my wife, who is disabled, and can't walk all the way to the springs, then park the car back at the campsite and walk to the springs. Be nice if they had parking for the campers. But with the crowds they get on weekends, I can see why they have that rule. All in all one of our favorite places to camp, relax, and enjoy being out of doors.

Beautiful area and accessible to everyone. We camped there over labor day weekend and canoed, biked and hiked. There was plenty to do and the facilities were good. My only recommendation....the concessionaire at the spring could do better to have more food options available. The park service would do well to open a cafe there.
