The campground, site, and spring were very clean and peaceful! Moreover, all the camp staff were super nice and kind. I will visit again.

This is a beautiful and spacious RV campground with very clean restrooms and friendly staff! The springs are lovely (and chilly), but weren't crowded when we were there the end of February.

Glad to see some better upkeep in the park. Glad the swamp trail was open again.

Nice sites, everything is blacktopped. Full hookups. Bathrooms could use a remodel but water was hot and pressure was good. Verizon was 95.8 down, 1.42 up. T-Mobile didn’t register but was decent enough to stream Netflix.
Springs were fun to swim in.
Take a drive to Silver Springs state park and rent a kayak, it’s a worthy adventure.

I'M 58 YEARS OLD, AND I RIDE A STREET LEGAL MOTORCYCLE, I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE GATE. 1 MILE. THE TRAILS ARE NEXT TO THE PARK, RIDICULOUS. AND THEY CHARGED ME FOR HAVING IT THERE CAUSE IT HAD A LICENSE PLATE.

Note that you may need to visit this campground before the end of 2024, since it may be closing at that time. It is a great place to camp, with full hookups if you want to go that route.

Very well run campground with impeccable facilities. Very quiet, in a rural area. While the website mention no cell service, there is good signal for Verizon
