Juniper Springs Rec Area

Beautiful campground. Went to the Springs with the grandkids. They enjoyed it so much. We were in Trop loop. Quiet and grandkids could ride their bikes safely with parents. Restrooms are nice and clean.
We will come back!

Camp sites were well spaced. Shower facilities were clean. Staff was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable.
Taking the kayaks down Juniper Run was well worth it.
Only drawback was the closure of some of the boardwalk and hiking trail. Once these repairs are completed this will definitely be a Five-Star spot.

This place is operated by a vendor who’s not done a very good job of training its employees. Will not list full descriptions of “disappointments” but will say that staff is generally unfriendly and often-times antagonistic. Since this is a dry camping facility it would very much benefit from having generator-free loops. The smog and noise from big diesel Class A rigs was often overwhelming.

On the plus side, there are many very nice sites available… unfortunately we got a pretty crappy one. The staff could not allow us to move to any of the other nicer sites, we would have to contact Recreation.gov to change our reservations (always a real joy). The staff had no means of doing this and didn’t seem to have any visibility into the current status of their campsites.

This would be a much nicer place if it had a better-trained staff and some flexibility to choose any of the open sites. A generator-free area would be a HUGE plus.

This is a beautiful location that unfortunately has been allowed to fall into disrepair. Everything about the campsites and bath house was fine, and the swimming area is also usable. However, things are obviously being neglected, many to the point of being roped off and inaccessible to visitors.

Great sites and hosts. More than we expected! Wonderful rec area!

The paddle was excellent but the park is falling apart. The concessionaire at the beginning of the paddle was rough and did not check our coolers for disposables. Boardwalk was in decay and unusable. The boardwalk used to be so beautiful. So disappointing.

Beautiful location, great staff - the only negative park was the very loud street close to the campsite - annoying especially if you just like to dive into nature...

Nice level site. Showers are hot with good pressure. No hookups and not much sun for solar. Lots of shade at this site. Sites are private and tropical. Site 6 in this loop appears to be the best site for solar. Site 41 in the other loop. No hookups at this park but there is a dump station and potable water. The bundles of wood were large and $10.50. They burn good. The showers has good pressure but only warm water. You also had to keep pressing the button or the shower would shut off.
Most of the trails were shut down for repairs while we were there. But this is a beautiful park! The spring area is amazing!

Great camp ground clean and well maintained. Staff at gate were ever helpful.

For the most part, our stay at this facility was exemplary. The only exception is that one or the workers there at the Spring pool was unusually gruff and rude. This man cursed at my son for making a mess in the shower. I can attest that there were muddy footprints when we first went in. After I left the Shower room, the worker, I did not get his name and took to referring to him as the baseball cap guy, proceeded to tell my son and his friend, " You
two have sure made a fucking mess in here."
we've been coming here for the last 4 years and never have I felt as unwelcome as I did after this interaction.
