This is a beautiful campground and Spring. So glad we were able to snag a reservation. Front gate workers were friendly and helpful.

We have been meeting our Vintage Camper friends over Nee Years for the past 4 or 5 years at Dalt Springs. We always have a great time except this last time due to setting up in the rain. It rained two nights but the sun came up both days afterward and we had beautiful weather. Love Salt Springs!

Our RV stay was for a week 12-22/12-29-2024 and space #16 was very nice. About halfway through the week the 2 full hook-up spaces across from us were occupied by 3 tents playing loud music until all hours.
We pulled out 2 days early.

Excellent campground with full hookups. Launch kayaks in Salt Springs river, close to Juniper Springs run, hike the Yearling Trail. Clean restrooms.

One of my favorite spots. Nice hike on their trail now that it’s cleaned up from the storm.

We always tent camp and Salt Springs is one of our favorite campgrounds. The primitive camping area is huge. Sites are large and almost all are level. Bathhouse is cleaned often and hot water always available. Located in the town of Salt Springs so supplies and amenities are readily available.

The park is very well laid out and beautiful. I expected it to be very busy but it was more than half empty. I don't think I will ever go back because the rates are twice what they aught to be. It used to have affordable rates but now very expensive. I think that is the reason it was so empty.

Park was ok. Nice employees at the gate. Didn't appreciate the leaf blower at 9 AM on a Friday morning. Filled up quick on the weekend. Not a lot of space between lots. Spring was nice to visit off season but I imagine it is crazy tight during summer. Only a pizza place in the town. Long drive to next town.
