Very clean camp campground!

This campground is a gem! The sites are placed that allow maximum privacy. The grounds and bath houses are kept in top condition. The individuals that greet you as you enter are super friendly. The location makes it very easy to travel to kayaking, restaurants, and the beach. I highly recommend Salt Springs Recreation Area for your central Florida stay.
Some Coverage

Very disappointed in the customer service . We arrived Thanksgiving eve afternoon. Our site, 43, had a recent petroleum spill. We have a dog, it smelled and when I wiped it, the paper towel came up black. A park maintenance employee looked at it, said it was dry and that there was nothing they could do. I went to the office and asked to move. They said they were full, plus they dont allow moving sites. I was told the only way we could move was to cancel 43, with no refund, and pay for a non reservable site. Which we did. Our 2 night stay was over $260 for a 22 van. The campgrounds non reservable section had at least 8 empty sites for the 2 mornings we were there.Having this happen, learning that the trails all closed, being told to leave the officially closed day use area even though we were just walking through with our dog, which I get, but it all did not make for a favorable experience.Note: The campground is run by American Land and Leisure, Pleasant Grove, Utah under a concession contract with the U.S.D.A Forest Service.

Nice spread out campground and picnic area with tables/fire grills next to spring.

Had fun all of the hosts and staff were very welcoming and kind.While we have an RV and everything was perfect to go to the boat launch you had a go through the tent area. It looks like that area needs a little TLC.

Nice campground well kept sites are nice and big and all with water, sewer and electric. Its nice they have sites that are reservable and first come first serve. I found that if you call ahead they can give you a ideal of how many first come they have. I came in the middle of the week early in the morning and i got a spot. The springs are in the same park.

It has become too expensive! A family of 4 next to us was paying almost $70 a night. Everyone seems very upset at the price increases. You can stay in a hotel at these prices. Its not fair that young families cant enjoy our national parks.

The park is always beautifully kept. love the paved level spaces and the space between campers. Staff from entry to campground hosts are always friendly and helpful. My only negative is the showers. Their cleanliness lacks especially in the shower stalls. Mildew and mold are very prevalent. Some of the drainage seems to be be ineffective for the amount of water being sprayed out by the shower heads. The other issues is always the timer on the push button for the shower controls. They are to short on timing before they automatically turn off. They may need adjustments for a minimum of 5 minutes of water. You barely get soaped up and they shut off or you have to use one arm to hold the button on while you try to bathe yourself with the other under the water. Nice size stall unless you are reaching fro the water control and trying to bathe yourself while holding the water control. These bathrooms are due for a make over for sure in the water control, and a good cleaning. Beyond that a very beautiful park. I do not mind the charge on daily stay, but we could have a cleaner, better working water control. Thank you.

Top rate, great park to spend some time in. Run by Professionals who know how to run a park. All of the park kept clean and manicured. We enjoy this park and make it our choice several times a year.

We love this park, it is so clean and the maintenance staff takes excellent care of the facilities. This is our third trip to Salt Springs.

Nice spacious sites . . . some partially or fully wooded.
Swimming in the springs was a "swimming hole" memory of my youth.
The campground is isolated . . . 20 miles to civilization (restaurants).

Clean and quiet. The staff takes excellent care of the property and are always keeping an eye on what's happening and are available to help. Ice and firewood available on site. This was our second visit to this park and we will be back. The swimming area at the spring is awesome.
@KendallD474516 · Camped on Mar 22, 2020 at Campsite #43
Make reservations early. We had to make four different reservations and move every day or two.
@Catherine55676 · Camped on Jan 11, 2020 at Campsite #43
We love camping at the Salt Springs CG. The sites are roomie and it is very quiet. The staff are extremely helpful and always pleasant! Its a great place to visit!
@CoryR9237379 · Camped on Jan 7, 2020 at Campsite #43
Great campground, lots of open space. Staff is very professional loved the place and highly recommend it.
@RobertV7482587 · Camped on Sep 27, 2019 at Campsite #43
There's a local grocery store only a stones throw from the park but since they're the only game in town, while very well stocked they charge a little higher price than you're use to. The swimming area is beautiful with plenty of room for everyone, but be warned, there are plenty of sea shells on the bottom so you'd be wise to invest in some inexpensive dive slippers!
