About Salt Springs Recreation Area

What a wonderful hidden gem. The camp sights were nice and spacious and laid out nicely. We did hear rumors of the park closing, I hope that isn't the case we would love to come back!

Great Campground & Facilities, Unhelpful Check In Staff. We found this to be a surprisingly beautiful place. The spring was fabulous with well-maintained grounds and easy access. The campground was beautiful, well maintained with clean restrooms. We stayed four nights during the week and upon arrival asked if we could move to a different campsite with more sun and less shade. We were told no without any explanation why. There was a sign on the counter that stated, "No Changing Sites". We arrived on a Monday and were leaving on Friday and the campground was approximately 50% occupied. There are also several first come, first served sites so I inquired about one of those sites and was told I could move but would forfeit my entire fee for the original site. This was very disappointing. We've travelled full time for about six months and have always encountered friendly staff willing to accommodate requests, when possible, but not here. In spite of this we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We kayaked in the spring run and swam in the spring. We hope the campground contractor will change their approach to accommodating guests.

Love the size of the camping areas. Very peaceful. You must go to Odd Todd’s and eat taco’s. And Tammy’s cup of sunshine has the best smoothies.

Beautiful Park, we loved our stay there just wished we could have stayed longer than 14 days. Also wished we could have gotten a bigger lot, lot #34 was just to small for our 38ft motorhome. There were several lots available that were much larger. 1st come 1st serve lots are much larger than the rest! Really liked having full hookup as well, that is a major plus!

Salt springs is great for RV camping bc it has full hookups. There is really no privacy between sites but there is a good amount of space. This is our third time staying here, second time with the camper. It’s a great central location for access to the different springs in Ocala National Forest. It’s great. However, I do have to mention it always feels like a volunteer has something to say to us…last time it was that our tree protectors (pool noodles) were not good enough and this time is was that we could not use the lantern pole to tie our clothes line to. We were told the lantern post could not handle it but that we could use it to hang other things. I don’t know.

We had an amazing time camping at Salt Springs 3/28-3/31. The campground is clean and quiet and the atmosphere is very calming. We enjoyed the springs and brought our kayaks and loved that we could launch them and not have to pay extra or have any hassle. The campground workers are very nice and did a great job explaining everything. We can't wait to book another trip really soon!!
