Had a great time Camping at Salt Springs overnight & enjoying Silver Glen Springs the next day. Camping seems a little pricey at this spot, but if you consider the admission costs to the springs, it's quite affordable. Facilities are great, flush toilets, showers, RV sites with electric, water, & drain, or tent camping. Try Square Meal country style cafe for breakfast in town, 1 min drive, 5 min walk.

Always very clean & organized. We love camping here. Most sites are shaded & convenient to the bath houses.

Beautiful park. Clean and very well maintained. We enjoyed it very much. I recommend bicycles because if you are planning to go to the springs it’s a decent walk as you are not allowed to drive and park in the parking lot. We can’t wait to go back.

beautiful campground with very spacious sites, largest sites we have ever had at a campground and we are RVers. The only complaint we have is that the campers are not allowed to park their cars at the springs and that is not right. After all, we are paying to be there. I understand you are trying to bring in as much money as possible and $14 per person is a bit pricey so create more parking. We don't have any kids but a playground would be nice, there is plenty of room.

Everything was great except the cost. WAY too much and I purchased the annual pass for America the Beautiful last year and got to use it as a discount once. Then the new company took over and cant use it as a discount now.

We would definitely go back. The staff at the office were great, the spring was beautiful. Sites are a little jammed in and we did experience lots of fire ants. But overall it was great!
