Beautiful Park, we loved our stay there just wished we could have stayed longer than 14 days. Also wished we could have gotten a bigger lot, lot #34 was just to small for our 38ft motorhome. There were several lots available that were much larger. 1st come 1st serve lots are much larger than the rest! Really liked having full hookup as well, that is a major plus!

Salt springs is great for RV camping bc it has full hookups. There is really no privacy between sites but there is a good amount of space. This is our third time staying here, second time with the camper. It’s a great central location for access to the different springs in Ocala National Forest. It’s great. However, I do have to mention it always feels like a volunteer has something to say to us…last time it was that our tree protectors (pool noodles) were not good enough and this time is was that we could not use the lantern pole to tie our clothes line to. We were told the lantern post could not handle it but that we could use it to hang other things. I don’t know.

We had an amazing time camping at Salt Springs 3/28-3/31. The campground is clean and quiet and the atmosphere is very calming. We enjoyed the springs and brought our kayaks and loved that we could launch them and not have to pay extra or have any hassle. The campground workers are very nice and did a great job explaining everything. We can't wait to book another trip really soon!!

Love the full hookups and the beautiful spring is a short bike ride away. Great pizza across from the entrance and down a bit, also a short bike ride. Very quiet and plenty of sites have shade. We’ll be back!

The springs are beautiful! RV sites are level and clean. Reservations can be challenging to get unless you book 6 months in advance but it is well worth it!
