It was a good camping experience mostly for the salt springs itself and the nice walking around the campground. But there were some issues here. The camp sites are close together and some sites have very little space. The bathrooms were inconsistent, some days they were nice, clean, and dry and other days they were a wet mess. Someone was mopping too often with too much water. Also, this is a natural setting, the hosts should not feel the need to run the leaf blowers constantly from 9-11 on the sites that were vacated. We all expect to find nature here. The mornings were very unpleasant because of the leaf blowers.

Water shoes for the springs are a must, steps very slippery. Clean park with good hosts.

Very well-maintained campground. Asphalt site pads are level, side to side. Main campground roads are asphalt. Camped here 5 times, one week each time, no issues. Full hook-up.

This park is very friendly, and also very clean. Full hook ups and asphalt site a plus! To snorkel the salt Springs is a real experience. Gated entry gives a sense of safety. One of our favorites

Everything was good until our last 2 days when we had a knock on our door and they explained that we needed to boil water for everything. Well, that was too late because we could not fill up our fresh water tanks with water because it was all contaminated water at the park. So we decided to leave early because the water was not acceptable and we asked for a refund on the last day of our 10 day stay, and they refused. Just plain bad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
