The Spring is Amazing

We were excited about having electricity and shade in the heat of the summer. Our site was large and shady. No tent pad outlined just set up anywhere on the site. The one drawback on the site was the dust got everywhere. Well...there is also the lack of wi-if if that’s a priority for you. Considering some of the difficult conditions we have camped under in the past this was a very mild inconvenience. The bathroom in the Hickory section needed updating and because of the dirt roads and tent sites by evening were usually affected by everyone tracking in. There was a dishwashing station on the backside that was helpful. We rode over to the Magnolia section and there were 2 other bathrooms, 1 that was newly updated, the other had some improvements made in the past 10 years or so. The good news is that once we arrived we were so happy with the spring here that we never moved our car or drove anywhere. There is one concession stand that served bbq chicken, beef and pork plus hot dogs. You could also buy a few swim supplies and tent kayaks there. Next time we come we’ll be sure to same time cooking and eat here. A float to use in the spring would also be nice. I did have an opportunity to use my mask and fins here. I am hoping to get a spot here in the winter during manatee migration. I LOVE THIS SPRING!
