Salt Springs is a well-run and outstanding example of Florida freshwater spring and is surrounded by an attractive wall, walking path and oak shaded picnic area.
While the campground bathrooms receive frequent and excellent cleaning attention, the buildings themselves are in need of maintenance such as exterior painting and water fixture updates.

This is a first class RV camping spot. Clean large campsites, clean restrooms, nice helpful employees. Parking pads are small for full size RV and
1 car (can not park in the grass) which is weeds. Other than that, great place

Love this park! This made our third time there & we will be coming back again. We loved the addition of sewer hookup at the site. Also liked the improvements of the roads & the cleanliness. Wish the concession stand/gift shop next to the springs would be open. It didn't even have any hours of operation listed. It never has been for us. Also liked that the steps to the springs were cleaned off!
