  Blue Springs State Park Campground

  Blue Springs in July '

  We camped here recently as a large family group. While our camping space could barely be called that, the park was quite nice. It was clean and well maintained, the bath house was clean, and there was lots of room for the grandkids to play and ride bikes. The springs area was shady, and the springs themselves were awesome (if you can stand the verrry cold water). The customer service was great.

  Ozark-Fort Rucker KOA

  This is an Amazing KOA

  FHU, paved and level sights, clean and updated bathhouse and clean pool, playground, dogpark, koi pond, horseshoes, cute general store with necessities and souvenirs, propane refill and firewood! Has a quaint pond, with a bridge, and displays colorful lights at night. The Owner, Lori, showed us to our spot, and made sure we had everything we needed and gave us info on local shops and parks. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. We have been to this KOA 3 times now, and can’t wait to go back!

  Seminole State Park Campground

  Swimming area

  The campground for the most part is beautiful period there are a few pull through camp sites that can be difficult with a long trailer. It seems to be quite a few small bugs around here. But I haven't got bitten yet so I didn't think they are the biting kind. The only major complaint I would have is that restrooms aren't kept very clean.

  Nice and quiet

  Sweet on and off 231 all paved pull through sites. Catch and release pond, camp store, propane, showers, laundry, close to restaurants. Everyone is escorted to their site by the wonderful owner and her staff.

  Hidden Cypress Farm LLC

  Fantastic host, beautiful farm and campground, bath and laundry a plus!

  Daryl and Nancy were fantastic host, got a private tour of the farm in his 4 wheeler. Caught sight of 3 deer and multiple rabbits. The Cypress pond is gorgeous and the trails were a lot of fun to walk. Very close to Florida Caverns where we went and did a cave tour and swam in the spring.

  J & J's Place at the Springs

  Great value for money with a spring on the doorstep.

  4 RV sites with water and electricity(30/50 amp) hookups(no sewer). Showers and toilets are very close and clean and well maintained.
  The family staff is incredibly nice and helpful.
  Internet is fantastic, both their Wi-Fi and our Starlink.
  Thumbs up.

  Lost Reservation: Cost me 400.00 in Gas/18 Hours' Drive Time/Vacation Day

  POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE:  I made reservations back in August of 2022 for the July 4th, 2023, weekend (11 Months in advance). On my day of arrival, June 29th, I pull into the campground to check in and come to find out, the owner, Matt Fox, had lost my reservation. Matt works from home outside of Chicago. My card had been fully charged for the full stay 11 months prior. I traveled with my truck and 33-foot bumper pull camper for approx. 450 miles to be told I have no camp site. This is a unique campground. I had no other options. Instead of them realizing their mistake and assigning me a site and then making calls to cancel a reservation that was made after mine, they simply turned me away. The onsite managers tried to figure something out by trying to fit a square into a round hole. LOL. Meaning force my 33-foot camper attached to my 4-door truck around a 90 degree turn to then hit the overhang of an adjacent camp site roof over and over an eroded trail. There was no way it would fit is my point. That made me question their knowledge of the camping world. The owners operate off site near Chicago. They micromanage the reservations and local managers have no control over it. This business model is a joke. And this is a clear example of how it does not work. And from what I heard; matt makes mistakes all the time on reservations. They don't keep good records, or they would have never lost my paid in full reservation. This cost me the customer and they don't care. So here I sit, 450 miles from home with the cost to get there, pissed off and agitated knowing that I have an 8-hour drive back home because I have no other options. And a Holiday Weekend! They said they would give me a full refund and I had to ask for 100.00 for gas assistance. But they gave me no confirmation number of the refund. That had to come from Matt! The total trip was around 18 hours and approximately 900 miles which cost me around$400.00 in gas plus a lost vacation day from work. The drive home was very frustrating. I could not believe the way I had been treated. I honestly was in disbelief. It was the owner's fault and not the camp host/managers as the owners in Chicago run the show. And not a very good job at it from my experience. I sent the owners a text and picture of my odometer showing the average mpg and how many miles traveled and the time and ask for a$900 reimbursement. But they refused. How would you feel if you drove that many miles and for that length of time and spent that amount of money for nothing? They do not know what customer service all is about. They got their camp full for the July 4th weekend with over booking so I did not matter. I was nothing to them. They even required full payment up front. They are just looking out for themselves and are struggling apparently. Please, for those reading this, stay away. Its not worth what I went through to walk around naked and have man on man sex in the woods. This place disgusts me from a customer service standpoint.

  Vortex Spring

  Old and run down. The staff are lazy

  As far as the campground goes, the ground is nice and even with fire pits and trees. But the bathrooms and showers are dirty and gross. The staff is lazy and rude. The grounds are rundown. The slides look dirty and unsafe. Over it was over priced for the experience offered.

  Lots to explore

  Camped here with family. You can explore the InDian Mounds and they have a museum with artifacts. The trails are not ADA, but we did try 🙂 It was Halloween and the littles came trick or treating thru the campground which was fun 🎃

  Horrible Experience

  It took days to make a reservation - when I arrived, a storm had taken out electricity and internet. I tried to cancel a future reservation - they do not provide refunds. They don't respond to messages and threaten you with small claims court for disputing charges. They are the definition of nasty and why people hate dealing with gay people.

  Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park

  Nice clean , friendly staff

  We stopped in without a reservation. Heading home to central Florida after polar vortex made camping miserable. Spent Christmas Day here. 21 degrees overnight.

  Welcomed. Helpful friendly staff.

  Starlink best for download & upload Strong download but week upload are both 5G services, T-Mobile and Verizon

  Visible was strong enough for tv streaming

  Great place close to home

  Fantastic campground. Beautiful grounds and very well maintained. They only have 10 sites of the 40 opened due to rebuilding from hurricane Michael. Two great playgrounds for the kids and a wonderful 2 mile hiking trail through the woods.

  Florida Caverns RV Resort

  Nice resort and friendly Stagg.

  Nice campground resort. Within 10 mins to everything you need from Walmart to Hospital. Very nice Clubhouse with a kitchen that can be reserved by guests. Nice pool . Nice laundry room. And a workout room . The only downfall I have noticed is being able to hear the traffic from 90 in the evenings but not a big deal to me. Nice restrooms with showers . Fenced in dog park. Everything you need for a great stay !

  Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park

  Beautiful Caverns

  Stayed here with my wife and two daughters. We enjoyed the cavern tours and the hiking, but we did not take advantage of their kayak rentals during this trip.

  The Good:

  • Tent only sites were well isolated from the RV sites.
  • The tour of the caverns was a lot of fun and very informative.
  • beautiful hiking trails.
  • clean bathrooms

  The Bad:

  • Tent only sites do not offer much privacy from your neighbor.
  • bathroom leaks in the rain (very slippery floor)
  • the firewood sold at the Ranger station was wet, moldy, and would hardly burn.

  Kolomoki Mounds State Park Campground

  Labor Day trip

  We went here for a quick Labor Day trip. The campground was a small loop but the sites were large. The lake front sites were very nice but we couldn’t get one so we had to walk down to the common areas to access the lake but that was ok. There is a little boat ramp and I put in my kayak and paddled the lake. There is also a swimming beach which was nice with a trail through the woods to walk or ride bikes to it from the campground. There was a playground area here and in the actual campground area too. The park also had putt putt but we didn’t play since it was so hot during the day and it wasn’t open at night. The campground is part of a state park and the site of the Kolomoki Mounds which were neat. They have a museum and the building is built into the side of a partially excavated mound which was really cool. They also have a replica of a hut/dwelling like the ones that the previous Native Americans would have inhabited. The bathhouse was clean and the grounds were well kept. The park is in a VERY rural area so be prepared to drive a little ways to get to things. However, we did really enjoy it and would definitely go back again.

  Overpriced, Ants EVERYWHERE

  The campground has a serious ant problem, if you want ants in your rig this is the place to go. on this app it’s advertised 40 a night we were charged closer to 70 a night not worth it. Facilities were okay and staff was nice but the ant issue is a real problem.

  Cave Exploring

  Very well kept RV spot 2 miles south of the main cavern attractions but still within the park and walking distance to the blue hole spring. Not a lot of shade but plenty of space between neighbors. Clean bathrooms and shower facilities. Lots of hiking, biking trails.

  Quiet campground nice amenities

  Stayed here in one of the 3 tent only sites. Very peaceful and had bath house with shower right near sites. Pavilion also across from sites which was great when it poured rain on us. A little farther is a small spring which allows swimming the kids loved it on hot days to cool off. They also offer canoe and kayak rentals, and of course a tour of the caverns!

  Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park

  Special little State park

  What a sweet little campground! Small loop of 32 sites. Plenty of space between sites, although with the hurricane there was very little foliage. We had perfect weather but as it gets warmer you will need the awning and AC. The sites were set up at a 90° angle from the street so very very difficult for anything but tiny rigs to back into on the first try, but we eventually got there with our 24’ trailer. All the sites have FHU but some have an odd placement for the sewer (ours was at the very front of the site by the curb) so either bring long hoses or plan to pull forward and pull the tanks on the way out. Bathhouse was clean and had a great shower and dressing set up with wonderful water pressure. Rangers and hosts were friendly, and there are lots of trails to hike including several right across from the campground with more trailheads at the park Visitors Center. Saw deer and bunnies and heard owls at night! All in all a quaint and QUIET park to relax in nature.
