It seems as if people are looking for some sort of "wet and wild" type of park. This is a calm and quiet park. You do not go here to drink, dive, yell, and pile a bunch of people into a canoe as I've read in all negative reviews.
Please take these things into consideration before you visit to prevent any other bad experiences here. I believe this is a great park to visit but I can understand why others may not feel the same.
In my opinion I think it's lovely, the spring is natural and yes it has vegetation as it should. You do have to carry your canoe or kayak on a buggy to the river and back up again, for experienced people or adults this would be no problem. The river is small and quite beautiful and natural, and there are no swimming areas along it. I get it because some of the people who visit are foreigners and there are gators in the river, so to minimize having to put both the animals and guests at risk, you cannot swim there. The bathrooms were cleaned daily which helped to combat all the dirt people would track in. Yes it has ticks, it's a forest. Yes you have to be quiet past 10pm because of people like me who are, as someone stated, "Mormon" and go to sleep early so they can wake up at an earlier time. The campgrounds are not as small as someone else stated but they are only big enough for 2-3 tents. If you have a large family I would suggest sleeping in groups or getting multiple sites.
Best spring in the area for camping. I love it here. Have been going for over 10 years.
SO much fun, such a beautiful park, I recommend to everyone. Especially in the wintertime. Campsites are private, there are plenty of trails and an amazing canoe run, though be warned- grab your bug repellent!
Lost camera Sat. Oct 21st baby boy pictures on it. if found please turn in. Park has my phone number. Thanks, Lorri We had a wonderful day, water feels refreshing. view photo
Amazing park! great staff, and awsome place to enjoy with Family, but be aware when you go camping during summer, I won't do it again. Spring is beautiful, bathrooms are clean, the place is nice! The only negative thing I found was the extremely hot, burning water in the showers. I would like to suggest to the owner make this beautiful place better, and let this privilege for cold season. Thank You, we had a Great time!
