Kayaking the Juniper Springs run was magnificent. Seven miles of pristine, crystal clear, 72 water winding through a silent and unspoiled landscape. We were there when the water level was high and there was a nice current to push us along, with even a tiny rapid near the end of the trip. There are trees down on, in, and under the water which keeps your head in the paddling. They made the paddle even more interesting. It was fabulous. The campsite was reasonably secluded with a nice firepit and table. The bathrooms were clean and the showers had great pressure and plenty of hot water. Top notch. I highly recommend.

We really enjoy this campground. The bathrooms were clean for as busy as the campground was. I was sad that large, heavy tarps were tied to the trees on multiple sites. There were also 3 and 4 tents on those sites. We were able to get a site away from those groups and it will not detour us from returning to the campground.

This park used to be a favorite but over the past 40 years it has deteriorated. The campground is still good but the beautiful walk along the river walkway was never repaired. It's slow deterioration has always been repaired by volunteers but the park made a decision to close it because they do not have the money to replace it. This was the highlight of the park. They now charge for putting in the river with a private boat but provide nothing for the charge. The spring is still beautiful, but the park offers little but for an overnight stay. They could put in a nice bike trail system or even a camppground loop power & water hookups. The price to camp is high and not in-line with other National Parks for the same camp services.

It is disappointing that the kayak shuttle service is not longer available. Also, the boardwalks are a key feature of this unique outdoor experience. When will they be available again?
