We always stay here whenever we travel in Florida. Large level paved sites. Very clean showers and restrooms.

over all a fun experience.
@MicheleJ4FD8E4 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #23
The campsite is extremely crowded and loud more like a playground. Nothing peaceful about it. The park is rundown and seems to be doing some construction. If the kids on elec scooters yelling and bouncing basketball wasnt annoying enough apparently next door has karaoke till 10pm. We almost packed up multiple times and drive home. It could be great but sadly it isnt.

It is affordable and the sites are open enough to where you are not on top of another site. Plenty of room....
@TraceyA72E5DE5 · Camped on Mar 18, 2025 at Campsite #2
Horrible Manager. She was very rude. Hard to get a reservation and we had would have had to move every single night. We left after the first day. Won't be back

Well managed park, helpful staff, natural beauty. Large swimming area at springs and long spring run. RV sites are spacious and connections easy. Shady, but enough clear sky for Starlink in most spaces. Local attractions are Silver Springs (nice disc golf course) and Marjorie Rawlings homestead (The Yearling, Cross Creek), bass fishing close by in Lake George. No traffic noise.

Campground was great. The campsites were spaced out so no one was on top of each other. We did kayak using our own and used the launch site. Was able to see manatees swimming near the launch. We did go to the springs and enjoyed swimming.
@RayH7794737 · Camped on Mar 13, 2025 at Campsite #33
Campground was kept up very nice. The springs area looked run down and in need of some maintenance.It's always a pleasure to camp there !
@DonnaKay337B8E · Camped on Mar 12, 2025 at Campsite #41
Springs are lovely with huge swimming area and many shallow spots for standing. Campground was spacious with many shade trees. The full hook-ups were a bonus! Very impressed with our 1st visit and hope to return next winter.
@DaleM7625488 · Camped on Mar 9, 2025 at Campsite #53
This is a great park and campground, Company does a great job of maintaining the properties. All staff encounters were excellent.
@SandraS7060671 · Camped on Mar 7, 2025 at Campsite #1
We were on Site #1. Most sites are level and have plenty of room. Campgrounds are kept up very well and the showers are kept exceptionally clean. If we are in the area again we will definitely come back to this campground.
@PamR1810030 · Camped on Mar 4, 2025 at Campsite #61
Pretty nice place, but too many rules...with campground hosts continually moving throughout the campground making sure rules are followed. At times we felt like teenagers vs the "mature" adults that we are. My biggest pet peeve was the leave blowers they used EVERY time a site was vacated. To remove a few small leaves on the paved pads after folks left. So noisy and unnecessary.
@SusanL2820892 · Camped on Mar 2, 2025 at Campsite #63
Salt Springs is beautiful. We plan to stay longer next time.
@TiborD93B59BC7 · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #14
Of course the weather is always the key factor in camping. It was a perfect 10. We love the "woodsy" atmosphere and the walking areas. We explored Lake George Trail and The Caravelle Ranch Trail...we walk down to the Salt Springs and also Kayak there. It is our favorite Florida Camping place. We are residents and try to make reservations in advance. Thank all the folks that keep it so nice and clean.
@LoriH2572605 · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #51
Great location. Large sites with FHU. The Springs were beautiful and the park staff was very helpful. Just remember DO Not park on the grass. There is a laundromat across the street as well as a Dollar General very nearby. Ocala is a 30 minute drive. Such a beautiful park! Cant wait to visit again.
@LuisD1879780 · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #47
The rangers here are the best, very attentive team, also very quiet campground, I snorkel on the springs and it was great, great fishing here too
@LehamanB80128F · Camped on Feb 28, 2025 at Campsite #6
We love this Park and Campground. Most sites are very well laid out allowing for space and privacy. The bathrooms and showers are kept very clean. Every one of the Staff we interacted with were exceptional, especially Jessica. We look forward to staying here again!
@HollyR3863926 · Camped on Feb 23, 2025 at Campsite #32
Very nice, well-kept campground and excellent staff. Nice place to camp
@GregB6149905 · Camped on Feb 17, 2025 at Campsite #8
Sites were ok. Don't expect much privacy as it's fairly open. Route 19 right beside the CG was noisy.
@FriedaDC420160 · Camped on Feb 14, 2025 at Campsite #16
Beautiful sites, lots of space between the site
@KevinR7055754 · Camped on Feb 14, 2025 at Campsite #48
Well maintained, great amenities, and friendly and helpful staff at this campground has us anxious to stay again. Thanks for a great experience!

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
