Pretty bad that the springs access closes at 5:30. Sunset was not until 7:30. Also why would you remodel the restrooms at the springs during the busiest time of the year. The bathrooms on B loop were in bad shape. Broken faucets in the showers, and the sinks where water was running constantly resulting in no hot water for the showers.

Beautiful area and the campgrounds were fantastic.The vehicle registration is frustrating but its understandable with it being the Summer. Everyone at the spring(employee) are all so helpful and friendly. I've been many times but have never camped.Can't wait to go back!

Kyle, Britney and all staff was very helpful when our food storage got stuck. We were in lot 17, loop B and had a lot of fun camping in a tent as we like. Went into the spring waters for the 1st time and the water was very cold. All good! Thank you! Good family experience. It's the 3rd time we go and it's always great.

Jenna and Sierra at the office were the best. They are why I chose to stay

Everything was great. The host, and all the people working there wre awesome. The only issue is something desperately needs to be done with the water system. closing bathrooms and showers on a holiday weekend is not good.

I paid $70 for 2 nights and Only 1 of the 3 bathrooms was open. Had to use a portable toilet and there was no means for washing my hands afterward. Was a 5 minute walk to the 1 open bathroom. Camp store is closed, so had no access to buy anything for camp besides ice and wood available at the ranger station. The wood I purchased from the station the first night was damp and would not burn. The wood I bought the second night from a fresh pallet did a little better. Also didn't have access to rent canoes or kayaks as I'm used to having available at the springs. So, there are LESS amenities, but the cost has INCREASED. The amenities were only a slight bit more than primitive camping, yet the rate was equivalent to a full service campground. Not a good value. But the setting, being at the springs, was a great experience!

Only complaint would be that 2 out 4 bath houses were out of order and no running water on the campsites. I quite disappointed, we purposely reserved our site near the bathrooms had 3 young girls with us, it was a lot of driving back n fourth to the bathrooms.

A very well maintained campground. The sites are spacious and have both a fire ring, light post, picnic table and leveled area for a tent. The staff is friendly and keep the sites looking like no one was there. We camped for 5 nights in our 25’ trailer. The driveways are paved, which really reduces tracking in dirt especially when it rains.

The spring is a great place to cool off or just relax on the sandy beach. You can rent a canoe or kayak and venture down the river observing the local flora and fauna. We were disappointed that the observation trail was closed for repair. If you want to have a relaxing peaceful experience in the woods this is the place to go.
