This park and the springs were beautiful. We were in site 12. There are no hookups, but potable water is at different parts of the park. We had a spigot near the road at our campsite. There is no sun at least at our campsite. But our site was huge and private. The park is very shaded with trees. About an hour away is the Apopka Wildlife Drive. I highly recommend it! Beautiful 11-mile drive, with lots of beautiful birds and guaranteed to see alligator! We saw at least 50. And its FREE!The showers are clean but definitely need an update. They had semi warm water.

Office staff very friendly and efficient. Campsite good, but need showers for campers.
My experience was marred by a domestic disturbance in an adjacent campsite at 3-4 am.

Very poor experience. The guests at other sights were cutting trees, openly doing drugs and drinking alcohol and playing loud music late into the night. Very sad at what this Spring has become on weekends.

Nice campground in the southern end of the Ocala National Forest. There are no hookups at individual sites. Quiet hours (no generator) are from 10pm to 6am. Sites are large with extra room for tents. However, the park is old and showing its age. The roads and the sites are paved, but the paving job is deteriorating. Bathhouses are clean and functional, but very outdated. The vegetation is in need of trimming. there is a bit of road noise from CR445 in front of the park. The springs are a popular watering hole, but there is nothing else nearby.

I camped for two weeks - what a beautiful area.The campground, day use area, and swimming hole are wonderful.I recommend that the admission system be changed. As a registered camper at the Alexander Springs campground, I was asked to pay an additional fee to enter any other camp area within the Ocala National Forest and I find that to be very strange.

Enjoyed the kayak run but lots of vegetation and long sandy road to get to the takeout place. I like Jupiter Springs much better.

We have stayed at this campground before it is a very nice clean quiet campground. The staff who cares for this campground are very friendly and do a great job. It's a very small spring but very pretty..

I had hoped to do some birding on the boardwalk, but it was closed for much needed repairs and had been closed for all of 2020. We were here in Jan 2021 and there is still no timeline for when the repairs will start. My guess at this point is that it may be a while, probably not this year.
