Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground

Stayed at site 019 for 5 nights at the end of April in a 30’ travel trailer. The site backs up to an area of low grasses, bushes and palms with tall pines nearby. There is a ranger trail the runs behind the site as well but we never saw any riding past. There is a road not far away but it’s in a suburban area and I didn’t find it to be a problem. We were usually out hiking and swimming during the day and the nights just had a low hum of far off traffic. You could still hear nature all around. The trails are absolutely gorgeous. Natural palms growing among tall pines. We saw so many deer I lost count and we could hear the males in the distance. Also spotted a young alligator walking on a trail near the spring. The gopher tortoises are out in full force in the mid afternoon. Didn’t spot a bear though. We didn’t want to leave at the end of our trip. And would’ve stayed longer if our schedules allowed. Would highly recommend.

Private sites, nice amenities, great park. Perfect!

There were a lot of kids but very respectful.

Quiet woodsy spread out CG small loops so always close to the bathhouse. Dirt sites ours was level. Cell service was good. CG about a mile from the Springs and playground. Springs and Playground are very nice but very busy on the weekends. Publix is less than 5 minutes of you forget something.

Very nice park, some sites have more privacy and shade than others. Swimming area is beautiful but a long walk from campground.

We arrived on a Thursday. The campground was about half full. Went the springs on Friday. Not very crowded at all. The staff that in interacted with were all friendly. Facilities were all clean and well maintained.

The springs offer no supervision. Kids were diving off the bridge even though there were signs. We were less than impressed all together

We had a great time camping here. You do have to drive to the springs from your campsite but it’s not a huge deal.

Bathrooms were nice and clean and got good cell service.

The tall pines were beautiful and you had decent amount of space from other campers.

2nd time going camping and it was amazing! The springs were great after a 2 hours hiking. Lot of places to explore. We saw deers, turkeys, owls, birds. We definitely are going back!

Loud campers here! It’s a very busy state park. The bathrooms were some of the worst we’ve ever seen. However, our site was great. We hiked, went fishing, and kayaked. Great park for the amenities!

On our visit in January of 2019 we found the campsites and the bathrooms to be okay but not great. The sites weren't very spaced out and there wasn't a lot of trees or brush between them so privacy wasn't great, but I've seen worse and it wasn't too much of an issue.

The main attraction to this campground (and State Park) are the springs and the waterway that leads to Wekiva Island. It is great for kayaking or swimming.

The trails also seemed very fun from where I can see from the road and campground, but unfortunately I didn't get to go explore them.

This state park has good camp sites with fine hard packed sand. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings. Two circles make up the camp sites. The circle with the higher numbers are more suited to tent campers. We stayed in site 54 and 36 which were great. Bathrooms are clean. There a plenty of trails to hike and kayak trails to paddle. The swimming is okay, but the area gets busy. Wekiva Island is close by, you can paddle there for a snack and a beer. Lively crowd hanging out by the water.

Stayed for a weekend. Thought it was a nice park, clean and spacious campsite. Had good water, electric and sewage connections. My main complaint is we could definitely hear and see vehicle traffic coming from a nearby roadway, but once you get passed that, it’s a nice place. Staff was friendly.

If you can get a spot in this park…. It’s one not be missed. Close to Orlando and all the amenities it has to offer… but when you are in the park you feel miles away from anywhere. Great spring for swimming and a river for canoeing. Biggest problem is finding availability.

Lovely customer service and the most beautiful river to paddle down. Saw so many fish and turtles. Even a few otters. There’s a stand for food and drinks and if you want to get out there there are plenty of hiking and primitive camp sights.

Just finished my first two nights in wekiwa. Saw an abundance of animals including deer, a bear, and alligators. Plants and mushrooms were amazing , and caught tons of fish from the bank. Big buck has water which is nice. Plenty of space, fire pit, pack hooks, and even an old pipe to lock your bike on if that’s your fancy. Will definitely be back.

Needed a few days off somewhere close to home and kind off in the woods to add up to our beginners level experiences. Wekiva Springs State Park offered all we were looking for.... Deer, Turkey, Turtles and apparently visiting of Black Bears around our camp site. Definitely an amazing time!

Very close to Orlando. I have a 3 years old girl and we couldn't do anything because there isn't shallow areas in the water. It is a deep pool. No too much shade in the camping area and with trees debris. Restrooms were super clean.

Its a great place to enjoy the nature in family, have water and bathroom available. And very spacious. Beautiful place

The springs are amazing but they are so popular that you have to get there at 9 am or you won’t get in. UNLESS, you book a reservation to camp. This is the way to go. If you’re only coming for the day but you’re on the fence of staying overnight, do it. It’s worth it to be able to come and go as you please. The campsites are well maintained and the rangers are great at informing campers about bear safety.

Close to city but far enough to feel like you are out of it. Springs are awesome.

this is one of the most peaceful and enlightened camps in the state, so many few things to do. i could stay forever but i get hungry and hunting is tough.

The park is awesome. Really enjoyed the springs and kayaking. The camp site was nice with a pit and grill on site. Only complaint I have was that we’re near the airport and heard a lot of planes flying by overnight. Also heard loud cars in the area. Other than that, I’d definitely come back. Staff and rangers were so pleasant, polite, and very informative.

Very friendly people and relaxing place

So this park has been so encroached upon by urban sprawl that there's a rather constant drone of traffic from the two-lane road used to access the State Park and all the neighborhoods that have been built right up to the parks boundaries. The traffic is only really audible from the campground not so much farther into the park near the spring swimming area. Even more remote is paddling down the river that flows from the spring boil. This is a busy place on summer weekends so busy the park reaches capacity sometimes as early as 10:00am as with all Fl. state parks use Reserve America for camping reservations. I give it 5 stars because the springs are phenomenal and the river is perfect. Bring 'em if you got 'em: kayaks,bikes,lawn chairs,fishing rods,bug spray but that last one is a given anywhere in Florida. Pro tip: if you have your own watercraft they will allow you to chain it up near the canoe launch which is advisable as it's quite a hike from the parking lot to the river.

Positives- bathrooms were very clean. Campsite was very clean. Site had water and electric. Bathrooms were well taken care of and clean. Negatives - small sites. Can hear and see your neighbors easily. I am more of a primitive type camper and would take primitive over the amenities offered here. Nothing wrong with the site, just too many people for me

Lots to do with trails and swimming in the springs will stay again

Nice sites. Trails are fun. Springs are great bug crowded especially on weekends.
