Juniper Springs Recreation Area, Silver Springs FL

It’s a really nice place to relax and cool off. It’s a gorgeous place and it makes me wish there was more to it. The only downside is that it can be pretty crowded since so many people come from far away to such a small spring. Be cautious of sharp rocks and snakes.

They no longer charge kayaks for both daily fee and launch fee. That was double dipping since kayakers were not using the springs or facilities.

Spent one night with a friend at site 63 and had a blast! Some of the campsites are close together (would be nice if you have a big group going and wanted to be close to each other), but others are fairly private. The man at the pay booth yesterday was very friendly and helpful. Fire wood is available for purchase at the entrance for $7 and it was kept in a shed (so it's nice and dry even if it rained). Checking in and checking out was very easy, bathrooms were the cleanest that I have ever seen at a campsite. The area was very well managed, pretty springs are a walk away, overall a great campsite.

One of our favorite places to go each year. There is a group of about 18 of us and we have been enjoying this area for the last 7 years.

I will add that the vibe is slightly different now. They have a new group running things. They are super nice but also have things pretty strict. I get it, you have to have rules but the spring has a much different vibe now where kids are really locked down. So if you dont have kids then ypu will love it. Still a cool place to visit.

Nature trail closed. We saw the 2 Springs but going by the campground was not pleasant. It was very expensive for what was to see.

Very high prices and no hookups plus it's run by a private vendor that has more rules then a prison camp, and the employees are very rude and demanding. I am going to lobby for government to take back these parks run by these vendors.

One of my favorite places to escape into beautiful such a beautiful place. Feel like the serenity in this gorgeous oasis!

We visited this beautiful place, although we were disappointed that we could not take our well behaved Puppy in, after paying the entrance fee, it is a beautiful place.

Very beautiful place very clean we went to check out other springs in our area and we work for the company so we got in for free

My family loved it! I did not! The water was extremely cold and super shady sun doesn’t come in very often.

Absolutely the most friendly and personable staff at the main gate. Kelly was the best! So attentive, sweet, and patient. We checked in on Wednesday and basically had the place to ourselves. What a gorgeous gem! Loving Juniper Springs!

It is a hidden gem. Absolutely beautiful, even with all the construction and work they're doing. Wouldve liked to have more information on the Mill since it was closed.but, I will visit again. Loved it

It's a very pretty spring but I think they charge too much for such a small swim area. The water is naturally so cold the kids were done swimming after 30min but also has nice walking trails and good photo opportunities
