Great clean park. Lots of room between sites. Well kept. We only wish there was a dog park.

Nice campground. Shaded full hookup sites. Also have a number of first come sites as well. Spring was great to cool off in. Large picnic area at the spring. No beach, just walk down the steps to the water. Weekdays were quiet, got pretty busy on the weekend. Staff seemed attentive and the campground was clean.

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.

Very nice park. But reminded me of the Nick Saban commercial for Vrbo. Read the list of rules, more don'ts than do's. Wasn't allowed to wipe off my trailer, would be considered washing which wasn't allowed. Really! Is lifting my hood to check my oil considered performing repairs or maintenance on a vehicle. "And most importantly remember, NO fun" - Nick Saban. There's your list, corroborated by other site campers..

Love this campground! However, the bathroom by our site (62) needs some work. The shower heads are just nozzles with one stream of water. It was very cold and the ceiling fans were also going right over the showers. The campground itself is very clean, with lots of space between sites. However, it is expensive, and I know that is due to the full hookup at each site. Our site 62 is missing part of the sewer hookup so it was just basically sitting in the pipe, like when you're at a dump station.Not a big deal as we kept the blackwater closed so we weren't bombarded with foul odor, but hope they fix it. And, the showers!
Excellent

The manager at salt spring RV camping grounds is incredibly rude and disrespectful to the guests . I would not recommend this location bc of the incredibly poor temperament of the manager.
Major Issues

The park is an excellent place to relax and disconnect, the employees at the reception are super friendly, BUT, we had 3 sites reserved, which means that we could have 6 tents, we had it all set up, and every single employee that drove by, stopped to say that we were only allowed 2 tents per site, what we knew and respected, and once we told them we had 3 sites, they all understood and drove away. Until the manager came and made a scene, saying we needed to move the canopies, as we could only have 1 per site, so we had to move them to the "border" of 2 of the sites, so each one would stay in each site... seriously, there was only 1 shower working in the ladies bathroom and that doesn't seem to be as problematic as having 2 canopies on the same site.

Salt Springs and the SS Campground is a hidden gem in the Ocala Forest. It is so close, yet you seem to be in another, quieter world. Night skies are brilliant! The campsites are superb and I love having full hookups! The camp staff are friendly. Be sure and register for your campsite with your "America The Beautiful" National Parks pass if you have one. You will receive a huge discount for camping.

Excellent facility, great staff, beautiful springs
@EarlS535 · Camped on Aug 21, 2021 at Campsite #61
The campground is very clean and shady . Sites are well cared for. This is one of our favorite campgrounds. Fuel and groceries are right outside the entrance. The spring is cold and clear, great for swimming and relaxing. Always like to spend time here.

Great atmosphere around the springs. Kayaks aren’t allowed in the spring area however there is a boat launch nearby and you can easily wade into the springs. Most of the area is leg/waist deep. Bring a float or they have cute ones to buy.

Full hookups in a park setting. We were in space 61 and loved the big open areas between rows with good amount of space between sites on the same row. Some rows with lower numbers have more crowded sites, although the lowest numbered sites large and shady. The park is set in a lovely part of Florida with many springs and rivers nearby for lots of recreation. Park personnel friendly and accommodating. It was our first time at Salt Springs Recreation Area but definitely not the last.

Well maintained campground. First come, first serve sites allow more local residents access to the campground. Cell service is nearly non-existent. WiFi access could be improved.

The park and facilities were clean and the staff was friendly. I loved the crabs at the spring!
