Campsites are good sized. Be aware/prepped for no electricity or water in the campsite. Springs are beautiful but it was January and very cold air temps of ~32F. No swimming. I was in D Loop and some traffic noise from the nearby road. Be aware of BEARS!! First night a bear came in the campsite sniffed around and departed. ff

Very low key and clean. The springs are absolutely amazing

Loud thunder-like noises throughout the daytime, came to find out there is a military base nearby. Practice bombing. Then we had 7:30 am tree cutting, chain saw through the morning hours. I'm not a early riser.

Great camping facilities and awesome staff. One of the staff and her husband (also a staff at the day-use area) even went beyond their duties to help us when our car wouldn't start at the parking lot. Our family would love to camp again there.

I love this park! The sites are spacious and the bathrooms are fine. There are lots of trees and it feels private. The springs are beautiful and there's a sandy bottom for much of it. The river is gorgeous and not so strong that it's too much work to paddle back. Tons of wildlife like gators, turtles, fish and otters! My favorite place in Ocala!

We loved the spring and enjoyed renting a canoe to paddle the beautiful and clear river. Only possible downside was the noisy couple next door who argued a lot. Not the campground's fault though.

Alexander Springs Campground has several activities to keep everyone happy. We recommend biking on Paisley Woods Bike Trail through the forest,paddleboarding/canoeing/kayaking, and snorkeling in Alexander Springs. The sites are equipped with a grill, firepit, picnic table and bear box. They are spacious and have privacy from fellow campers. The bathrooms are kept clean. Highly recommended this campground!

We have been camping at Alexander Springs for many years and have never been disappointed like we were this year! The park facilities were in disrepair and in desperate need of attention and care. The bathrooms were closed numerous times while we were there for our 6 day visit. When all bathrooms were open, not ONCE did the bathrooms get cleaned! It was disgusting, unsanitary and unacceptable for your visitors. The girls trash can overflowed with feminine products and was a hazard to our young girls. Also, there was very little water pressure, and several times our spigots were not even providing water. We had a group of 17 people in numerous sites, and that is unhealthy and unacceptable. We were not given any warnings about lack of fresh water or issues with your bathrooms! Finally, you allow 100's of park visitors inside your gates knowing the campground is already compromised with water pressure issues? And, if the park is taking in $10 per person, can't some of that money be utilized for park services? Possibly consider port o potties, as even the main bathrooms were out and they were STILL letting more people in the park. It would help keep return customers/campers coming back year after year. Highly disappointing. Finally, why can't the camp store be open? When we went to rent canoes, there is no sign on the doors on how to proceed with any kind of rental. It took us 10-15 minutes to track down a park person, then get redirected up to the ranger station. Just put a sign on the door! We love this park and hope whoever is managing this property gets their S*#T together, no pun intended.Last, but certainly not least, trying to CHANGE a reservation at recreaton.gov was a total nightmare and we spent HOURS trying to get our reservations modified. Not only did our group find it time consuming, frustrating and ridiculous..so did various other campers we talked to. Come on, we love camping, y'all can do better ;o)

A wonderful private camping experience. The water was beautiful. All trash bins were full and overflowing all weekend long.

Clean well kept campground most sites have good separation. By all means bring a mask to swim in the spring.
