Salt Springs was a great time. Park is very clean, 30 and 50-amp power hookups and sewage easily accessible. Easy access for parking campers, lever tar platforms for leveling. Room for all to back camper into lot. Couple of nice walking trails with access to the springs. People very friendly and helpful. Bathroom and showers clean. The one men's bathroom by lots 1-30 was under construction at the time. Looked like some nice renovation. Overall was great experience.
