This campground was a treasure. Each site was very private in heavy trees. Most sites were sloping and stoned. Each had a fire ring and table. Bathrooms new and very clean. Two or three trains a day go by. Nice boardwalk along spring but manatees had left by the time we got there.
Park includes limited campstore and gift shops.
Had 52 free stations with antenna. Very clean campground and park.

We stayed here on Mar 1st and 2nd. Price reflects all taxes and reservation fees. The manatees had already left the springs due to the warm weather in Feb, the spring area was closed to swimming and diving until Mar 15th. This was another nice campground, small but with good spacing between sites. The restrooms were new and keep very clean. The had laundry machines but where very over priced compared to other state campgrounds they we have stayed at, @ $4.00 washers and $3.00 dryers. They have nice walking trails and boardwalks to hike on, the old home that was built back in 1860's has been well maintained and open on the ground floor, no furnishings except for the kitchen area.There is a river boat tour that takes you out on the river and you get to see plenty of alligators and birds. I gave it a 5 star on the noise even thought there is a train track nearby and the train does come by at night, but we love trains so it was no problem to us.

Blue Spring State Park has really nicely spaced campsites with a lot of privacy and a wonderful walking trail/boardwalk that leads to the manatees. We were here for only 1 night, but were very happy during our stay.

This park is beautiful and camping there allows you to get out early and see the Manatees before all the crowds get there! My particular spot was actually kind of hard to fit a 30ft airstream into... the spot was cozy. Over all, I loved it. I personally would not spend 4 nights there again, but 1 or 2 would be perfect.

This park is beautiful and camping there allows you to get out early and see the Manatees before all the crowds get there! My particular spot was actually kind of hard to fit a 30ft airstream into... the spot was cozy.
Over all, I loved it. I personally would not spend 4 nights there again, but 1 or 2 would be perfect.
The spot deserves 4 stars, because everything was very clean and nice. The park is very well taken care of and we had a great time! The only complaint is that a train goes by every once in a while.

It was 50° this morning and we went down to the springs. It was an amazing site. West Indian Manatees were everywhere. The count for the day was 277 in the spring run. Our state park team has done a phenomenal job of protecting these gentle beasts from man's destruction. Our campsite was a typical state park site with water and electric, surrounded on 3 sides by brush. Native florida at its finest. Some train noise to lull you asleep at night and it is somewhat close to orange city. If you want absolute peace and tranquility, you might be annoyed, but this park is a truly magnificent way to experience nature up close. Rent or bring your kayak or canoe to paddle the St. Johns river, or take the 2 hour nature cruise with capt. Peter. It was a great way to take one back to the Florida of bygone days, before the civilization found her. As a life long florida resident, I was once again incredibly impressed with our parks system. This is one of the more popular ones, and on the boardwalks are filled with all kinds of families, young and old experiencing the beauty of our natural habitats.
