Excellent camping spot. We have a 40 foot 5th wheel and had plenty of room to manufacturer. The campsites and overall facility were exceptionally maintained and beautiful. Thee waslots of space between us and neighboring campsites. Lots of things to do at salt springs and obviously in the surrounding area. We were able to see lots of wonderful Flora and fauna including Hawks, yellow throated verio, northern parula, south Carolina chickadee, and many more. It's an absolutely beautiful place and we will most certainly be back again soon.
