It was a very relaxing stay, the weather was perfect, although we did not get in the spring water was way too cold for us since night and early morning temperatures were in high 50-low 60. Only thing I would have like that on the side we were in site 33 , they should add a least one dumpster and more doggie station like the opposite side. We will be coming back.

Very nice park. Very clean. Nice restrooms that were cleaned several times a day. Beautiful Springs. Nice fishing area in primitive camping area also. Friendly park workers.

Amazing and immaculate place. Not a bad campsite to be found. Each one is under a perfect live oak with Spanish moss hanging. Everything you need. Including the elusive and mysterious lantern hook. Lol. Great job staff. The park was beautifully kept.

Nice campground with a fair amount of road noise.
@StephenR879500 · Camped on Apr 10, 2026 at Campsite #21
Nice place, clean restrooms, full hookups. Very clean park. The only negative is that the vendor is charging too much for the amenities. $75 night is too much for no hiking trails, spring, and a boat ramp.
@DavidT5110185 · Camped on Apr 10, 2026 at Campsite #18
Nice paved sites, full hookups. Beautiful campground and the spring was great. Will be coming agin

@ViviannaB707A7 · Camped on Apr 9, 2026 at Campsite #22
Swim in a spring, kayak the lake, fish the canal, hike easy trails near the campground, play a game of basketball, and enjoy sites with some space!
@RhondaEFE112C4 · Camped on Apr 7, 2026 at Campsite #48
We love coming here for the springs. It was a bit more crowded this time. Sites are well maintained. The office staff and camp hosts are friendly. It is great to be able to receive packages. The store is well stocked.
@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Apr 6, 2026 at Campsite #53

@TraciW7054356 · Camped on Apr 3, 2026 at Campsite #54
The campground and bathouse was clean. Adequate spacing between sites and well maintained landscape. Very quiet and peaceful.
@LouisF281731E7 · Camped on Apr 3, 2026 at Campsite #37
You can't beat swimming in the clear spring water. The campground was nearly full, but there were no rowdy guests and quite a few families with children. We will return.
@JerryP5188052 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #60
One of my favorite campgrounds. Very clean very open. Great hiking trails nearby
@SteveS6334481 · Camped on Apr 2, 2026 at Campsite #2
Salt Springs is a very clean and well managed park. the RV sites are large and spacious. Picnic tables and fire pit. The camp store sells Ice and most all of the need to have things. The springs itself is very well kept and refreshing. the staff is more than helpful and cheery. Highly recommend AA+++

Nice shady, large lots, good restrooms
@VenessaBBAD0D2 · Camped on Mar 31, 2026 at Campsite #160
This was a wonderful place to camp. The facilities were clean and the workers were very nice and helpful. The campground is only about a 5 minute walk from the springs and the trail to them was beautiful. I have been to Juniper and Alexander springs but this was by far my favorite. We will definitely go back.
Excellent
@TimothyM325903 · Camped on Mar 30, 2026 at Campsite #37
This is the nicest public campground serving the public with the broadest array of choices for camping. From tents, to sites with full service electric-water & sewer. It is a well run campground by the vendor.

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
I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
