Blue Spring Recreation Area
Reviewed Mar. 6, 2022

Tiny and Free

Nice tiny campground in the Florida forest. There are only 3 sites and you must reserve online through the water management district even though it is free.

Porta Potty, garbage cans, covered and paved picnic table and fairly level sites on all 3 spots. All the sites are fairly separate and the middle site, site #1, is a "bump out" style and is more open and close to some swampy water. Sites 2 and 3 are back in and almost completely private.  No one else was there when we were. Mix of sun and shade and the covered picnic tables were a bonus because it added shade. Parking at the sites are sandy with some gravel but we had no trouble in out 26 ft class C. Not a very good spot for huge rigs or big fifth wheels unless you are a master at tight turns and backing in. On the road in is a day use area for the springs and there are hiking trails and picnic tables and grassy areas. There's also access to the water here in the day use area. Overall this is a nice place and we would stay again.

Sheriff drove through on our second day and checked our reservation so be sure to make one. Other than that we only saw one other person drive through. Very quiet but a bit buggy. We had a couple of ticks on us, though not embedded, but they are there and some flying pests as well. Probably worse in late spring and summer. Great place if just passing through or if you want some peace and quiet.
