One of our favorite parks. It is always clean and well groomed. The only complaint we have is their check in policy. Even if the site is empty and you arrive alittle early, they make you wait till 2pm check in. However first come first serve sites can check in anytime.

Salt Springs is exceptionally maintained. The water and sewer hookups are the best we have ever used. Registration was fast and simple. This is one of our favorite parks. We spend time here two times a year.

Well kept and good space. Sites are nice and quiet. Love the full hookups and the staff is very friendly.could use some gravel to level the space between the parking space and the sitting space and it would keep the site dry. Overall it’s a great place to park the RV.
