Beautiful place, very well kept up. But no hook ups, it was cold when we were there and if it was hot summer no ac. Generator noise, traffic noise, tight skinny roads, but very beautiful.

Most of the campground is heavily wooded. I managed to find a spot using Google Maps that had some sun for our solar. That being said, it was almost impossible to back into our spot due to a stump and tree. The tree also prevented us from putting our awning out all the way.

Most of the campground is heavily wooded. I managed to find a spot using Google Maps that had some sun for our solar. That being said, it was almost impossible to back into our spot due to a stump and tree. The tree also prevented us from putting our awning out all the way. It would be a tight fit for a slide on that slide. Oddly, the fire pit and grill where on the back side of our trailer. Not the best spot in the campground. And finally the two water spigots and bath houses in our loop were closed due to a water line break.
That being said, we had a wonderful time at the spring. Renting a canoe was a highlight. We could see all the fish and turtles. We also saw a good number of different birds.

Second-year to stay here on site 66, it is a handy cap site. 38 ft coach with a tow vehicle, the site is level and easy access. The springs are very pretty and clear. The only downfall is this year they are having a water problem and having to close down the shower houses at times.

We stayed in site 8. Great site for a trailer. There is a pretty big step from the pavement to the sand. I always trip or stub my toe. Sites only sort of level. Surprisingly good cell service with Verizon. 5 to 10 mbps. You really have be careful about the site you pick. A lot of sites are only good for tents.

We decided to camp here at the last moment. This campground is located in the middle of Ocala National Forest and we were super excited to stay next to Florida Springs. The campground seemed to have a lot of outdoor activities and amenities, such as biking, canoeing, hiking and swimming.
Although the campground itself is sort of average, the pure and clear Florida Springs amazed us and we end up spending most of our day light time at it. We were trying to find some nature trails, but the only ones we were able to hike/bike was the one going to the recreational area. Wish there was more nature trails to show off that Florida beauty.

We went during pandemic.. We used a family tent.. Bathrooms and bathhouse cleaned several times a day... Clean and picked up campground.. The spring is within walking distance from most sites.. Summer weather was 85-90.. The best feature was the springs which are great for all ages since it goes from shallow to deep.. With lots of area to wade around and play.. Most sites were shaded.. Not all sites have electricity.. We stayed none electric with solar power and battery.. Several. Other campers used gas generator all night.. But they were not noisy so we slept great.. Cell coverage was very intermittent at best.. I have T-Mobile...

First let me say the spring & swimming area are awesome!! I went swimming every weekday morning we were there. Weekends it is packed but during the week almost had the place to myself.
Check-in was easy & informative.
Our campsite was mostly level. Very roomy. No hookups. Not as much privacy as we like but in no way felt crowded. Some sites have more greenery shielding them than others & some are far from level but they all seem to be nice sized. There are bear proof food storage boxes at each site, grill, fire pit, table, and lantern pole. Bathrooms/showers are very nice. I think they are cleaned 2 or 3 times a day. Joyce, Clyde & Sharon (hosts/managers) were very nice, helpful & friendly. There is a camp store at day area open weekends. It has souvenirs & basic supplies.

Our campsite was spacious with room for my daughter and family with tent to join us for the weekend. Restrooms/showers are nice and clean. Timucuan trail around springs is board-walked most of the way with viewpoints over the water. Florida trail access is also just outside entrance gate. Love this park.

The campsites were primitive and peaceful. We did hear noise from the road occasionally, but it was not bad.
