Devil's Den Spring

this campground is fantastic for scuba divers. It has a beautiful spring to dive in, there is also a lovely botanical garden nearby

Devils den was fantastic and looks just as incredible as the photos online. The campground was ok, nothing special but great for an overnight to explore the spring!

Just a row of gravel sites. Not very level. Bathrooms were not the best BUT if you go to the Springs it definitely makes it worth the trip.

Its been awhile since I've been here but the springs are GORGEOUS! Lots of facilities including a restaurant if it's still open. The other campers are...wild. Avoid holidays if you're not a partier.

We did a one night stop to experience snorkeling in the cave. Beautiful water and it didn’t disappoint

Sites had glass, cigarettes and food waste spread throughout. The sewer hook up was too far away. Ground was not level. Drive way will ruin your suspension. The dump station is positioned to empty on the way in!!! Trees were not trimmed by it and it snagged and ruined our awning.

Trash was overflowing. Dumpsters overflowing.

I walked into the bathroom and immediately left because it was incredibly unsanitary.

We loved several things about this campground. One, it’s not huge and the sites are a great size. There are back in and pull through available and most are nicely shaded. Next, it’s just a quick walk to the spring. While it would have been nice to be able to just jump in and out of the spring at our leisure like at other springs, we understand it’s a small space so the required appointments and time slots are necessary. I think it would be a great place to camp and get scuba certified. There were LOTS of divers and it was cool to watch them too.

In all, the kids had a BLAST with about twenty other kids playing manhunt and running around. Great little spot.

The campsite is nothing to write home about, but I had an amazing time snorkeling here. The location is really convenient and close to Gainesville, so if you want to spend some time being active in the water during the day but want to chill and go see a movie in a theatre at night, you can totally do that. There are a ton of great restaurants and shopping nearby. It’s nice that you can come to snorkel but also have a really inexpensive place to stake your tent at night.

Got in on Christmas day, with the gate code and pretty much had the whole parkto our self, Very nice.

Amazing hidden gem. A must see for divers & exp snorkelers. Clean an safe campground. Local weekend entertainment, pool, hot showers, and additional places to explore within walking distance. We will be back.

The spring was an amazing experience. The campground was maintained but the bathroom needed to be attended to. Overall, great experience!

Beautiful campground with nice bathrooms. They have scuba lessons in pool if you have never dived. They also rent the equipment for both scuba and snorkeling.  They have a covered picnic area

Awesome place to snorkel and scuba dive! The water is crystal clean blue but very cold. We made the mistake of not bringing wetsuits and it was freezing after a while, so definitely bring a wetsuit if you can. Campsites are available and well maintained.

Nice and we'll kept. Spring is really cool.

This place is very interesting and fun. We purchased masks and fins from their store, price was marked up to bad. You enter the caved area and wind down the stairs to the water. The light comes through a hole in the ceiling. The fish were swimming all around us. The water was a little chilly but I didn’t need a wetsuit. You can also scuba dive.

Devil’s Den Spring is a one of a kind spring with diving and snorkeling offered. We camped here and were the only two in the campground since it was summer and their slow season. The bathrooms were clean and showers were available. The store also rented out snorkeling and diving equipment.

No where near town, not a very exciting destination after all. Other than a photo opportunity the water is cold and not much room to swim.

The campground has cabins, RV hookups and tent sites. It's nothing to write home about. It was just convenient to be close to the springs since it's a decent drive from any other major city in Florida. The springs themselves are quite cold so in the end we didn't spend that much time swimming - we probably could have driven back home and not camped after all. The Devil's Den itself is very neat to see, definitely worth going to at least once to snorkel or scuba dive. But if you can drive back to wherever you're staying, I would! I only took pics of the spring and not of the campground unfortunately. Enjoy!

Beautiful grounds. Separate tent and RV camping. beautiful cabins and pool. But the highlight of camping here is being able to explore Devils Den while snorkeling and or diving. There is a full dive shop on site with equipment rentals. Nice picnic areas and community fire pit. Neighboring experiences include botanical garden and horseback riding - 5 min from major retailer to restock supplies. Bathrooms are not the best but they are clean. Staff is very friendly! No pets outside of RV area - strictly enforced!
