Very nice large RV sites, beautiful spring and canoeing on the river. Pity the boardwalk is still not repaired (we visited Alexander Springs 4 years ago and then it was already closed)

Quite peaceful place to relax. The Springs are awesome. At this time the main trail was closed.

We appreciate the nice sites and the space and foliage between campsites Rangers/personnel at the gate and as we met them here and there on the grounds were welcoming, very informative and gracious. Bathrooms did not meet cleanliness standards we came to expect from other years, unfortunatley. Our friends who were on a site near us because we recommended the park to them said they won't come back because of that, but we will because we've been coming for several years and all other visits the bathrooms have been better.
