We were on site # 61 at the end of one of the fingers in the Magnolia loop which is the largest loop. Each site has a picnic table, fire ring/grill combo, 30amp and water as well as 2 clothesline poles. Most sites are shady and sandy. 3 Sites have 50A; they are:4, 5, & 38. Sites 93 and 94 overlook a cave diving lake, and some sites in Magnolia loop overlook another lake. Park roads are paved, but camp roads are not; they are sand. Roads are tight and winding with trees close. We have a 35ft motorhome and were able to make it but without toad hitched. Larger units can make it but need to go slow. Our site had lots of ants but they weren't the biting kind. Mosquitoes were not too bad. We did not need spray. Our site was also level but at least 10 inches lower than neighbors as it sloped toward Suwannee River. Had our own path to bath house which was clean upon our arrival. Did not use but they were old and smaller, and had no laundry area. Rangers were friendly and patrolled often. There was firewood for sale, canoe/kayaks for rent, and a small store that had swim stuff and ice cream/food to purchase. Nice playground in picnic area. Springs are 72 degrees year round and in winter manatees come into park, so no swimming then. Lots of divers come here for certifications. 2 miles of underwater caves to explore. Nice long boardwalk to view river and to fish off of. Camp area is short walk to springs. Camp is quiet and peaceful. No cell service for ATT and only 1 TV station (PBS channel). Dump station was easy to use. Lots of trails for bikes or hiking. Deer come into campsite areas because they have been fed by the campers. Lots of birds to watch, and spiders, too. Walmart close by about 6 mi away in Chiefland. We visited Fanning Springs SP nearby which has another nice set of springs to enjoy. Dakota Winery is on the way there on HWY 19. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is nice, with deer roaming freely through out park. The roads to campsites are a little narrow but can be traveled being careful. Springs were closed due to river flooding. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for one night. The roads in the campground are sand and narrow. It is pretty hard to avoid brushing vegetation. They have different sized campsites. You really need to go through Reserve America to get a site you can fit into. The campsites are sand and are nice as are most of the sites in the Florida state parks. Quiet and dark. We stayed here in a 31 foot Class C and didn't use the camp bathrooms or showers. We would come again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
