We camped at Juniper Springs three different times will visiting Florida. The first night the campground was very full. Our next door neighbors did not understand what quite time meant. They were up making lots of noise passed midnight. My husband went over and told them would they mind quieting down. They did their best for young early twenties but did take then a while to wind down. Like an hour. We then stayed again. This time being my fault I threw out the code to the after hour gate code. Well we arrived a little after 10pm. could not get in. No number at gate to call so we decided to leave car to side and walk in because our tent was already set up. When we passed the office there was no number posted to call. They may have said something about call 911 but really just because we forgot the gate code. I don't think so. As we walked heading to our camp site there was a sign and gate for security that lead back to a trailer but so dark and gate swung close with so number to call. Actually looked kind of creepy. So we ended up scaring an old couple at the bath house when we asked them if they new the gate code. They did end up trusting us and we said thank you so much. We went back to gate and car open gate drove to site and settled in. Well not to much later a group of campers started to jam on their bongo drums till 2 am. So glad we were some distance away. I felt bad for anyone closer to them. Well in the morning I stopped at front gate office and walked in. Talked with ranger or volunteer not sure. Told her about the noise and getting locked out. Then I saw a number INSIDE the office not POSTED OUTSIDE the office about who to call and that there is always someone in campground to call. WHO and WHERE in not sure. And why inside the office and not posted outside so those at night or after hours can find the number and not have to scare an old couple coming out of the bath house after hours. Please park think it through post security numbers where needed.

Juniper Springs great most favorite place to camp! I love that the sites are large & mostly private.The spring is absolutely amazing and such a great way to cool off with warmer temperatures.The bathrooms and showers are kept clean.Ice and firewood are available onsite.The only downside is that during warmer ticks are plentiful. And they are very tiny and hard to see. DEFINITELY plan on buying tick spray (recommend Yaya Organics All Natural Extra Strength Tick Repellent DEET Free - 16 Ounce Spray Bottle on Amazon) for you and your pets.

Clean large campsites. Would live to have outlet in bathhouse to charge phone and other electronics
@DavidL8659169 · Camped on Mar 3, 2026 at Campsite #25
Having restrooms and showers in the camping areas was fantastic, staff was very friendly and helpful, providing good solid answers to my questions.

Have a great time

We had such a wonderful evening at Juniper Springs. We stayed at Fern 63 which was nice and private in a more shaded area. The vegetation is really beautiful there and the springs were pretty. The swimming area is basically a large pool with beautiful bubbly spring water. The only reason I did not give it a 5 is that some of the paths and bridge are closed. Hope they can open that up again. There was a super pretty pond/springs area beyond the bridge that you could only get to by walking all the way around and go through the campground. Overall, we loved it!

Lush setting and good spacing between sites. Helpful staff.
@MarkP6983494 · Camped on Feb 25, 2026 at Campsite #6
Very sad to experience disrepaired paths and buildings. Generator noise volume violations were not enforced.
@FredR9915333 · Camped on Feb 18, 2026 at Campsite #52
I spent 3 days and 2 nights in a tent area. It was very quiet and scenic. I couldn't have asked for more.
@CMichel66CDF5D · Camped on Feb 13, 2026 at Campsite #51
We had a warm welcome at check in, our site was clean, spacious and felt somewhat private. Everything was clean and I loved that they had the bear lockers to store items in. The spring was great too!
@ElliottJ55D23D · Camped on Feb 13, 2026 at Campsite #28
Fantastic recreation area with a beautiful spring and run. Kayaking is as good as it gets. I wish the trails and boardwalks were opened and maintained seems like they need a major overhaul. Camping was great
@LyndaBD1098BE0 · Camped on Feb 13, 2026 at Campsite #55
Very beautiful place.
@KelseyLE2F5F99 · Camped on Feb 13, 2026 at Campsite #57
Very good experience! The only downfall was the hot water in the showers didnt seem to work half of the time.
@AnnetteH886331 · Camped on Feb 13, 2026 at Campsite #31
We always love Juniper Springs, but were very disappointed in the lack of maintenance. The boardwalk has been closed for years and the RV dump station was closed all weekend.
@MayaT2AAC71C26 · Camped on Feb 13, 2026 at Campsite #7
Overall it was a great experience. I brought my 19 and 16 y/o daughters and their boyfriends. When we got to our site (007), we were hesitant because it was right in front of the facilities. It was actually quite convenient having the dish washing area so close by. I would just recommend the campground plant more foliage on the left side of the drive to make it more private so 007 rentals dont feel like theyre on show. The Springs were a bit cold and most of the trails were closed down due to construction or clearing required. I would call ahead to see if the hiking trails are open first. Hope you enjoy this camp as much as my family and I did!
@AlanEA28F8CD8B · Camped on Feb 12, 2026 at Campsite #62
This park is wildly overpriced, compared to similar parks in that part of Florida. The tenting area itself was fine, but water sources were not close, there was no electricity, and the shower facility was so stripped down that it did not even have a bench for changing clothes.
@ManuelC8644117 · Camped on Feb 11, 2026 at Campsite #20
Very tranquil, clean campground. Pleasant staff. Fantastic kayaking.
Good
@PeterG8163131 · Camped on Feb 9, 2026 at Campsite #11
It would be nice to have the dilapidated wooden elevated walkways and other spring site repaired and cleaned up. Its a beautiful place that needs some funding to bring it up to par.
Good
@JamieM4606165 · Camped on Feb 6, 2026 at Campsite #65
We had a wonderful time!!!! The bathrooms are very clean. It was to cold to swim but the area was beautiful. Can't wait to go back!!!
@BrendaW8865450 · Camped on Jan 30, 2026 at Campsite #33
We enjoyed our time. Park needs electric and water hook up!
@ChrisY6992735 · Camped on Jan 30, 2026 at Campsite #32
staff was over the top friendly, very personable. Exactly what I expect when we visit the park. Its our 32 year and the staff has been phenomenal lately. Facilities were clean and inviting.

Gorgeous sites! Very quiet. Appreciate the bathrooms and showers. Seems a bit expensive to not have outlets to recharge phones and battery packs.... Super critical for a Florida Trail thru hiker.
@HeatherF405961 · Camped on Jan 25, 2026 at Campsite #72
Great few days (albeit chilly 32 at night) at the campground tent camping. Beautiful park. Took the kayak trip down Juniper Run (7.5 miles) beautiful scenery and wildlife to be seen. Tip - if the water is low, like it was, do NOT do tandem - weighs the kayak down and its easy to get stuck on fallen trees and large rocks if you cant see until the last minute . The camp staff was truly amazing - very knowledgeable and super friendly. Looking forward to checking nearby parks, sites next time we travel up!

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.
