Loved the campsite and the springs. Be sure to bring floats or life vests for little kids. Only complaint is the chiggers and micro ticks. If you go on any trails, be sure to wear back woods bug spray and tall socks.

Park was very clean. Concession was closed at the spring. Shower water temperature was scalding no matter how you adjusted the faucet. Disappointing. Will return and book again.

When I arrived to check in I found open sites that allowed us to stay additional days. I asked for my reservation to be moved to another site and was informed they could not do that. I had 2 choices, stay where I was originally or make a new reservation for the site that provided more days. I had done this inbthe past at SSCG with no problem. B I was advised I may or may not receive a refund and was offered zero guidance other than I needed to go online and try to cancel it. I was advised the rv park was under new management but i wasn't treated to a customer centric experience. Seemed like the staff woukd rather tell you no than to offer a solution or guidance. I have a 70 year history with S SPRINGS and felt pretty much kicked tobthe curb with a take it or leave it attitude.
