The boardwalks have been in disrepair for the past few years. The staff is welcoming and friendly.

@GabrielF981287 · Camped on Nov 24, 2025 at Campsite #67

Campsite were pretty clean and everything else was peaceful the bathhouse could be a little bit cleaner and I definitely would recommend some type of spider spray

We love staying at Juniper Springs. The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. We always feel safe and comfortable. Love renting kayaks and paddle Juniper run. Close to many other springs as well.

@CalebR9866723 · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #75

This site is perfect. We were able to park efficiently and use the entire space effectively. Traffic was higher than some other sites, but it wasnt a bother. People were very respectful. The spring was beautiful. Definitely will return.

@ThomasH6812009 · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #70

Denise and the mgmt crew is awesome as usual. The continued condemnation and closure of the board walk and shade structures just makes this hidden gem of a park look like a neglected dump with so much potential... it's sad as someone who has seen the decline over the last 20 years

@BradfordP4397A · Camped on Nov 19, 2025 at Campsite #56

Peaceful, nice water, run down some staff dont seem to enjoy their jobs. But it still a nice place to be for a few days.

@ToddS5367268 · Camped on Nov 18, 2025 at Campsite #5

When will they add clay, crushed rock to the broken off Asphalt that have never been addressed in Tropical Loop. I can count on one hand how many people I know that have fallen and twisted ankles as a result of the neglect . Take a dump truck in, compact it. Not a big job and cost effective considering the new resources for clay and shell rock, etc.

I love it, every second, the place have everything we need to make a camping trip perfect, have fire pit , barbecue security metal container for food and garbage and a bit metal table with sitting for a lot of people and the bathrooms are super good with hot water the showers are super big, so noting negative and the staff was super helpful and friendly, I definitely recommend .

@MikeM9721189 · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #9

All the board walks were closed. Place is falling apart.

@AnthonyC360221 · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #79

My experience camping at Juniper was spectacular and the facilities were great and staff and guests were fantastic. Can you please help me with this though? I wanted to ask why the bridge was down on one of the trails? That bridge means a lot to me and my friends and family. My best friends in the world came to Juniper when their mom passed away and placed her ashes around that bridge because of all the wonderful memories they had around that bridge. We love your park and we really want to see the trails restored please. Many memories of camping for sometimes a couple weeks at a time at Juniper when I was younger. We love Juniper Springs

@AudreyL44B064C · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #48

This is our third time at this park. It is always lovely and peaceful. Trails to hike, water to swim, nearby adventures to experience.

@JudyR2435564 · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #16

Campground was great. I have been coming since the 70s. I wish the boardwalk and pavilions would be rebuilt and maintained. It was beautiful back then.

@DeborahS476998 · Camped on Nov 9, 2025 at Campsite #63

The camp site was spacious, nice fire pit, had a charcoal grill area, bear box was spacious. Nice level area for tent. Disappointed in lack of activity availability ... trails were closed for maintenance, spring area was more like a spring-fed pool than a natural spring, and unfortunately had a family with a child that screamed (not normal running and playing yelling) for an hour ... after dark, as well as later at night. Would not go back with all the other options around.

@CynthiaG850500 · Camped on Nov 7, 2025 at Campsite #54

We always enjoy visiting Juniper, wish the trail would all open back up.

@MelanieF410615 · Camped on Nov 5, 2025 at Campsite #4

Would be nice to have a power site. However great cover and neat swim area.

@RonT5990506 · Camped on Nov 3, 2025 at Campsite #19

The staff is amazing as always. It sure would be great to have the boardwalk and Fanning Springs open.

@SamB6988985 · Camped on Oct 31, 2025 at Campsite #75

Whoever is running the park is either not receiving enough funding or just not doing a good job. Probably the former. Large areas of the park are shut down in disrepair. The price for admission is too high with these facilities being closed (boardwalk).

@ShaneG258682AA · Camped on Oct 30, 2025 at Campsite #9

My 2 year old son and I had a lovely time here. The trails were plentiful, the springs were beautiful, and the campsites were all very well kept! We would come back again for sure.

@SonyaSF1DD1DAF · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #19

Grounds and staff were amazing

@LeighaW13B2608 · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #13

Such a beautiful place to camp! Bathrooms were very clean, and showers were hot. The bear lockers were very convenient so I didn't have to keep shuffling things around in my car. My camp site was HUGE. The day I checked out it was a little chilly but still decided to take a dip in the springs. We even saw a yellow belly turtle. Ice and firewood was available at the ranger station which was convenient. I will definitely stay again.

@JamesHB1915F28 · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #7

While some commented about site 7 being in a noisy area do too it's proximity to the bathroom/shower , I would say if this is your first time camping , especially with kids , you might consider it as ideal. I really did not have issue with any excessive noise , with the exception of the trailer that needed the AC running all day in 70 " weather , not turning the generator off until campsite rules forced them too but other than that it was peaceful and Its only a short walk to the spring as well

@AutumnJD551703 · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #62

Best camping location so far. Staff is incredible.

@HelenS1969177 · Camped on Oct 23, 2025 at Campsite #32

@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
