Nice campground. Clean & well maintained. Bathrooms conveniently located to all campsites. Springs area is very nice. Need better signage for directions in the Park. Not very easy to get to Park.

Just finished our second stay at this absolutely spectacular state park. Whether you're coming or day you're going to the Spring or camping like we did, you will enjoy yourself! Staff is super pleasant to deal with & volunteer campground hosts really nice people.
Highly recommend!
And if you are camping, make time to take a drive through the park at dusk. Deer and other wildlife are abundant.

Wonderful place located so close to Orlando. Large natural spring that can accommodate lots of people but come early because it was closed around 10am due to high volume of people. Clean restrooms, wonderful hiking trails, lots and lots of canoes and kayaks to rent for 2 hours or more or even overnight for a great adventure. Water temp is a constant 72 degrees which makes cooling down wonderful after hiking a few miles on some wonderful trails. Bring your horse because there are trails for them. Great small campground that offers water and electric and all sites, some with sewer too. Lots of wildlife so be cautious of bears, gators and snakes (I didn't see any for the couple of days but lots of deer.

Good place to spend the day, but if you don't like cold water, I don't recommend it.

What my family did not like is that there is a very busy highway that you can hear and also see from our site 34. The bathrooms are very far away with no straight pathway to them from our side of the campground. Bathrooms are very very dirty. Only one set of trash cans for the whole campground. As a tent camper, you need trash cans often. The fire ring with grilling grate was under ground and full of ash. You are cooking at floor level and very close to the fire because the pit was full of ash.

Great park, love the camping facilities but do not go to breakfast or lunch and think you can go back to your campsite because you will have to wait an hour or more to gain access. We called to see if there was another way in since we are camping and ranger said no, you have to wait in line. They need to fix that as this is a big big no no. Plenty of space to put a gate with code box for campers.

Wekiwa Springs is a gem surrounded by urban development. Once the turn is made into the park it feels like being transported to a place far, far away from roads and noise. The campsites are large, making for easy access. Most are equipped with electric, water, and sewer. A quick survey of the site will show the best location for optimum distance of hose lengths. The springs are within easy walking distance, but expect the springs to be busy because they are so close to a metro area. The trails afford easy hiking and are well marked. The numbers on the trail map correspond to pole markers along the trail. The selfie poles with QRC codes are a nice touch. Overall, a relaxing experience that we will repeat.

There is lots to do for the outdoor family. Hiking, biking, animal watching, swimming, kayaking, etc.

This park, the campground and the park rangers are amazing! This is the second time we have stayed at this campground and it has been an awesome experience both times. Today, we had a mix up with the camping dates on our end and instead of turning us away, both Phil Card and Gunther Legg went out of their way to make sure we had a site to stay at. We highly recommend staying here if you get the chance!

Great place. Nice and quiet. Great trails and springs. Perfect spot to relax. We visited in mid Nov 22 in a Class A motorhome. Sandy sites, full hook up, trees, shade and a firepit. We should have booked longer than 2 nights.

This is a great campground. Lots of roomy sites with towering shady trees. I think all the sites have water and power, but not all have a sewer connection so just be mindful of that. Dog friendly in the camping area away from the springs. It's a decent walk or bike ride down to the springs, but totally worth it to get down there. The spring is beautiful and surprisingly didn't feel crowded at all. We enjoyed it so much we booked it again for next summer.

Expansive park. It helps to have a bike. The spring will cool you off. Bears are active this time off year. They are looking for food. Publix and a couple of restaurants within bike/walking distance (2.5 miles). Campsites are well spaced. Bathrooms are clean.
