Nice park however, the concessionaire sure rips off the public on entrance fees.

Beautiful campground. Went to the Springs with the grandkids. They enjoyed it so much. We were in Trop loop. Quiet and grandkids could ride their bikes safely with parents. Restrooms are nice and clean. We will come back!

The camping spaces were well spaced apart, very clean campground, bathrooms well kept. The spring itself is gorgeous and well monitored. We look forward to coming back!

Friendly staff, clean, quiet, great access to day hikes and the Florida Trail runs right through the front of the park. I had a great stay. I was there for 3 nights during the holidays when it was at max capacity and even then everyone was considerate for other campers. Clean showers and restrooms too.

A peaceful, serene and lovely park. Not much to do besides walk the trails, swim in the spring-fed pool and relax but that was wonderful... Sometimes it is good to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy nature and the company of your loved ones. This is a beautiful place to do that.

Staying at Juniper was perfect. We tented at site 1 which is a very short distance walk to the main spring. But I recommend also just walking around the campsite, its beautiful had no idea there was a protected beautiful hammock spring in the back to see. The next day we went to Alexander just down the road. I love this area and am grateful it exist in the Ocala National Forest.

We came late but the park service Guy told us a code to get in. It was a small park with spacious camp sites , clean bathrooms and showers. The next morning we got to see the beauty of Juniper Springs. It was beautiful! The water wheel was functioning. The stream was clean and inviting. The whole park was peaceful and beautiful. We were there mid February!

Restrictions on where dogs can go is too restrictive, even in a dog stroller not touching the ground. We left the next day.

Awful staff! unfriendly, they was not available, and the constant policing! awful remarks to visitors checking in while i was purchasing firewood. The driveway pads are crumbling and nothing but dead and dirt all around the driveways but getting warnings about a tire in the grass when there isn't any grass, tire literally 3 inches of the crumbled pad, where it should have been a paved pad! This was the first and last time i will ever come to this park, i belong to several camping groups. ive spread the word to avoid this park at all costs. How dare this staff treat people the way they did!

You can hear a lot of road noise. There were several campers who didn’t think the quiet hours applied to them. The staff was very friendly. Bath houses were extremely clean. It was very disappointing that most of the trails worth hiking were closed because of disrepair. Canoeing and kayaking was closed even to personal canoes and kayaks which was also very disappointing.

Very poor maintenance, branches on campground loop road needed to be trimmed. Most campers are 8ft wide and many places only had about 71/2 ft of clearance. Also overhead branches need to be trimmed in many places including the campsite we were in, branches touched roof of camper.
