This is a fantastic park. But for us, the generator noise this visit was too much. Most people turned them off for quiet hours, but thats not til 10 p.m. one group rolled in late and set up their loud generator and both my husband and I went to talk to them..independently. We didnt know the other went over. This particular group was nice, but they would not listen to me at all. Finally turned the thing off after my husband talked to them. They were in a completely separate section of the campground from us..an extra loud generator. This would be less of an issue if we had bilingual signage. They truly did not realize it was a problem.

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.

Reservation system not good. Arrived late in the day looking for a spot. Many available but could not reserve at the gate. Had to pull over try to get online at reservation site which was not allowing reservation. Staff at the gate ended up using my tablet to use a backdoor to get a site. Go back to at the gate reservation options!!!

Always a wonderful trip

Always a good time and relaxing. I have been going to this camp ground since 1998 and it never gets old.

This is a lovely park with just the right amount of amenities. It is very clean and well maintained with spacious sites. The ticks have been problematic the last couple of years and I was surprised to have such an issue near the end of January. I cut my trip short because I didn't want a camper infested with ticks. That was a disappointment because the weather was nearly perfect.

The dear flies and no-seeums were really bad until we used bug spray which worked well to protect us.

Hiking, swimming, enjoying a campfire and making new friends are all present here. Facilities are nice.

Our campsite was great for our camper van and the way campsites were laid out provided privacy. The restrooms were conveniently located and clean. But the best part is access to swimming in the springs and lounging on surrounding lawn.

Visually this park is like a fairyland, and everyone on staff was welcoming and helpful. Clearly the park could use more funding from the federal government for repair of boardwalks, but thats why we call our members of Congress to encourage it. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We enjoyed our visit to Juniper Springs and hope to be back again sometime soon. Hopefully the repairs and or remodeling will be finished next time we return. The staff do a good job of keeping the bath houses clean and camp sites clean. My wife and I would recommend Juniper Springs Recreation Area it's a beautiful place to enjoy the wonderful outdoors of central Florida.

Fill dirt needs to be brought in to eliminate the drop off between concrete and dirt setting. Very dangerous and this is on just about every site in Tropical. Staff needs to stop using blowers to clean/refresh sites as they are blowing the sand/dirt away from sites. Safety is paramount and the sites are not safe at all.
