Salt Springs Recreation Area

Beautiful Campground. We had a really nice time.

We used site 49 with our 33' Class A and toad. Rear of pad is about 2" higher than front so leveling was needed but easy enough to do. Very clean fhp site and some shade. Good cell signal with ATT and T-Mobile.

This is one of our favorite campsites in Florida. We camp here twice a year for a week at a time. Sites and access roads are paved with asphalt. Camp hosts are friendly and helpful. Check-in is swiftly completed. Easy walk to Salt Spring, clear water and great to swim in, constant 74-degree water temperature. Hiking trails are nearby in the Ocala National Forrest. Shopping and restaurants are nearby. Sites are shaded and not on top of each other.

The place is great is beautiful nice accomdations but try to Dont deal with the people in charge they jobs is to f)$&&& your vacation no matter what they look the way

Noisy. Campground filled with smoky fires. Spot lights set up at night for volleyball play. People walking through my campsite to reach the restroom non stop. I was not comfortable sitting outside. The road to the boat launch was horrendous. No close trails to hike. Disappointed finding that in national forest.

Salt Springs is an AWESOME location. We enjoyed the primitive camping area for 4 days. Nice quiet campground with lots of things to do. Really like the boat ramp amenity which provides access to Salt Springs Run to Lake George. Have been camping here for 12 years, GREAT place.

Terrible experience! The camp ground location is horribly designed; we could hear traffic every night all night. We could also see dollar general from our camp site, not what one would expect going to a national forest. We also wanted to do trails while we there. The map the front office gave us was very out of date!! We drove to over 8 tr ails and many were so over grown that the trail was practically nonexistent; definitely lack of maintenance and not hurricane related!
The camp staff were also unpleasant. We rnded up leaving a day early. Overall we will never go there again and I would never recommend it to anyone!

Very disappointed in the customer service . We arrived Thanksgiving eve afternoon. Our site, 43, had a recent petroleum spill. We have a dog, it smelled and when I wiped it, the paper towel came up black. A park maintenance employee looked at it, said it was dry and that there was nothing they could do. I went to the office and asked to move. They said they were full, plus they don’t allow moving sites. I was told the only way we could move was to cancel 43, with no refund, and pay for a non reservable site. Which we did. Our 2 night stay was over $260 for a 22’ van. The campground’s non reservable section had at least 8 empty sites for the 2 mornings we were there.

Having this happen, learning that the trails all closed, being told to leave the “officially closed” day use area even though we were just walking through with our dog, which I get, but it all did not make for a favorable experience.

Note: The campground is run by American Land and Leisure, Pleasant Grove, Utah under a concession contract with the U.S.D.A Forest Service.

Camp site are blocked out because booked for weekend whole camp sites vacant rest of week

The campground is great, but the staff are what makes it fantastic!
