The camp grounds are great. Kayaking not so much.

The campgrounds are well kept and maintained. Everyone was nice and pleasant. We stayed during the week so it was quiet. My wife and I just hang at the site or go for walks with our dog. Had a great time there and we will be back soon.

This was my fourth time staying at Salt Springs and plan on returning soon. Easy RV set-up, staff on premises, clean facilities, easy to access Springs

We enjoy the salt springs campground and try to stay once a year. Staff is great! Restrooms are clean and property is kept up nice.

Loved the campsite and the springs. Be sure to bring floats or life vests for little kids. Only complaint is the chiggers and micro ticks. If you go on any trails, be sure to wear back woods bug spray and tall socks.

Not very dog friendly

@MaryH1910665 · Camped on Jul 28, 2025 at Campsite #24

Park was very clean. Concession was closed at the spring. Shower water temperature was scalding no matter how you adjusted the faucet. Disappointing. Will return and book again.

@RosanneSCB4DFF · Camped on Jul 27, 2025 at Campsite #39

The new management team is making great progress. The restrooms/showers were very clean, the grounds was in good shape.Park hosts Jim and Linda are terrific. Obvious they truly care about what they are doing.

@SilviaS48A540B · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #56

Love this place

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #29

When I arrived to check in I found open sites that allowed us to stay additional days. I asked for my reservation to be moved to another site and was informed they could not do that. I had 2 choices, stay where I was originally or make a new reservation for the site that provided more days. I had done this inbthe past at SSCG with no problem. B I was advised I may or may not receive a refund and was offered zero guidance other than I needed to go online and try to cancel it. I was advised the rv park was under new management but i wasn't treated to a customer centric experience. Seemed like the staff woukd rather tell you no than to offer a solution or guidance. I have a 70 year history with S SPRINGS and felt pretty much kicked tobthe curb with a take it or leave it attitude.

@cleveh1A36A795 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #63

We were excited to see new staff/management. The staff was very friendly but still enforced the rules. They were extremely helpful and shared info on improvements they plan to make. We have camped there for 15 plus years and loved the park. Glad we gave it another chance! We were considering not to because of staff issues last couple of visits.

@LindseyO389527 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #59

We have been camping here for 20 years at least. Its gone way down hill. First of all they had more that 20 available walk up sites, we asked if we could switch to one in the shade because the one we booked was full sun and we had no idea. We were told no then they would be stuck with our site ( even tho I booked sites become walk up sites online anyways) . The spring only had one entrance now that is so covered with algae that my son slipped and multiple full grown adults slipped in just the few days we were there. When we asked why arent they scrubbing it they said it just comes back . I could barely get out holding our baby, its an extreme hazard . Now there is fences everywhere by the spring and the boat ramp consists of chunks of concrete, terrible. For how expensive it is here this was our last time .

Salt Springs Recreation Area is part of the Ocala National Forest. The RV sections are all full hook-up. The pads are paved and level with may site having large pines or oaks providing shade. Well separated from the campground are the springs. The springs have about 4 vents pushing a lot of 74 degree water. The spring swimming area is mostly level with a depth of 3 to 4 feet. It is full of fish.Tip for Other Campers:Go and enjoy the cold spring water. Once in you will either get used to the temperature or too numb to feel it.

@RobertJ5338880 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #59

Camped in June and the spring was amazing. The sites are clean and it's easy in and out. We will be back next June.

@CarlG8683608 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #35

Well-maintained. Nice old oaks. Full hook-ups and sanitary stainless steel connections basins. Best sites are away from the occasional highway noise at the dump station. Get a shady site. Be prepared for lots of spider webs on the Bear Swamp Trail.

@ChaunceyGA5364 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #61

Very well-run location w excellent clean facilities. Nice trails and clear spring for swimming.

@KimC2311597 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #50

Spacious sites. Very Clean. Very friendly staff

@DerekB3528004 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #47

Always a wonderful time here. From check in the ladies at the front are phenomenal! Very nice and informative. The campsite is clean, and everything works. The bathrooms were spotless and fully stocked. The campground is clean and quiet. All the staff is wonderful here and take care of everything. The springs area is very clean and rangers are constantly patrolling ensuring safety and cleanliness.

@SharonT4876591 · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #32

Very nice campground and well maintained. Bath house was very clean and the spring area was beautiful as always. We paddled Juniper Springs on Friday- the water was very low and there were a lot of obstacles to go under & over. Was a fun day, but definitely not for beginning paddlers. Saturday we went to Silver Springs. Once we got past the chaos at the put-in, it was a beautiful paddle. There are motor boats on this river alongside the kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
