Alexander Springs Recreation Area offers a beautiful and well-maintained environment, with clean bathrooms, friendly staff, and a lovely spring for swimming. Visitors enjoy the peaceful campgrounds, spacious picnic areas, and opportunities for wildlife viewing and kayaking. However, some concerns were raised about pavilion maintenance, noise from nearby campers, and limited hours for the spring, suggesting room for improvement in management.

The people that work at the park should have some control over the campsites. The campsite I booked was too short for my rig and I was informed that there was nothing that I could do other than book a different campsite. That would have meant throwing away $100. If your campsite is too short for your rig or not level the people at the office should be able to let you choose a different site that is to your liking as long as it is not reserved. During my stay they were doing some dredging at the spring and the dredging pumps and water pumps were extremely loud and very disruptive. The short kayak run is quite beautiful with lots of wildlife. The experience of the crystal clear water coming out of the spring is also quite enjoyable. The main thing with this campground is that the people that work there should have some control over where people can camp especially if they are in an RV. Recreation.gov does not give any information as to the length of the sites or how level they are. If you use solar panels to power your rig you will not get sun here, every site is shaded.

Clearly marked signage for late check in, clean and well maintained campsites and park areas, and beautiful forest all around made for a wonderful and peaceful Christmas spent with my son and our dogs.

We had a great experience at Alexander Springs! We stayed over the Christmas holidays at campsite 26. Campsites are very spacious, well maintained and staff are always busy (and very friendly!) taking care of the maintenance of the whole campground and recreation area. I appreciate the strictness of whether the rules are respected in terms of no trailer stands on the forest soil. We all have to do our part to keep nature as beautiful as it is. Bathrooms are clean and every evening we had hot shower water, that's pure wellness at a chilly evening in December! Thank you for a wonderful stay at Alexander Springs, keep up the good work!
