Summary

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.
We booked sites 57 and 60. 57 is especially large, though it lacks the shade that 60 has. Combined, we had a group of friends and these two sites together were great for that. Maybe a 7-10 minute walk to the spring.
Overall the facility is nice with great bathrooms that were clean. The campsite itself, however, could have been better. There was plastic and small bits of trash left in our fire ring. The former campers must have been wildly inconsiderate people, as there was dog droppings all over half of this campsite. Gross and rude. Pickup after your dogs! We could smell anytime we went to our picnic tables. I hope the campground staff takes note because this is my sole complaint. Luckily we had our friends site next door to hang by most of the time.
Otherwise, this is a great park, great spring, and nice staff. Very expensive for camping, I will say.
I loved this campground. There were quite a few bathrooms and they were well maintained. The sites were big and they were surrounded by tropical flora and fauna so I felt like I had some privacy. The sites were well equipped with a bear box, fire ring, grill and picnic table. The swimming area was awesome. You can rent kayaks and paddleboards.
A couple of the sites had problems with their bear boxes. The walking trail was closed.
I had a great time meeting friends there. Perfect place to get back to nature.

Had a good time swimming in the spring too. We were here during the week and it was not busy at all
