What a great time camping. We stayed at site 126 and really enjoyed our time at Salt springs. Staff was super friendly, facilities were well kept with bathrooms that were cleaned multiple times a day. Jumped in the springs when it was hot, fished in the run in the evenings and just had a good time hanging out at our campsite the rest of the time. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks Salt Springs staff!

We always enjoy our stays at Salt Springs, FL. The campground was clean, the staff was welcoming, and very professional. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the swimming area.

This place has gone downhill since new management has taken over. The park is over grown with no maintenance. Trees completely over grown had to dodge them so they didn’t scratch the rv and could open the awnings due to the trees limbs. Grass needed mowed in the whole park. Campsites have mudholes when it rains due to no fill rock being brought in to fill the holes. Management people are inconsiderate and rude and don’t care about anything.

A great camping spot. All RV sites have water, power, and sewer. The springs are about a 1/4 mile walk and are fantastic!
