This was a fun park to visit. I was a bit surprised at how close all of the site were to each other, but they were positioned fairly well for privacy. We had a good visit and especially enjoyed swimming in the Salt Spring.

Overall, the park is very nice and it is well kept. However, there are so many rules that my 10-year-old son and are whole family did not have much fun as there is just no way to be a kid or bike and have fun because there are rules to restrict most everything you would like to do. They did have a basketball court area which was fun but there was rules to that. They also had cornhole but no cornhole bags and there were some rules included with that. The spring was beautiful but we tried swimming and there were so many rules that it wasn't so fun. Anyways, we planned on going to many national parks. Due to this visit, we will not be staying in any national parks going forward.

Nice paved roads and pads, clean restrooms, hot water in showers. Spacious sites. Salt Spring are great to swim and watch the fish. Definitely will go again.

This was a great location. From entry, there are places for campers/trailers to easily pull to the side to check in without blocking traffic. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The campsite is great. Plenty of room. Cell signal with ATT worked great. The springs were easy to access and very beautiful. We spent the whole weekend just at Salt Springs but heard there are lots of other close springs that we should check out. We will for sure be retuning.
