Blue Spring State Park has 51 campsites (recreational vehicles up to 40 feet long) located in the sand pine scrub and are within walking distance to the spring. Each site is equipped with a picnic table, water, electricity and a grill. A dump station is available in the park. Pets are welcome in the Blue Springs camping area in accordance with our Pet Policy. ADA Accessible sites at Blue Springs State Park camping are offered on Reserve America and two new bathhouses are complete with accessible showers and bathroom stalls. Conservation measures can produce astounding results. In 1970, two years before Blue Spring State Park was established, researchers tracked 14 manatees in the spring run. By 2005, after years of park improvements and manatee protection efforts, wintering manatee numbers exceeded 200 and by 2018, that number skyrocketed to a record 485. Besides "sea cows," fish abound in the spring run, and these attract a variety of wading birds, ospreys, eagles and kingfishers. To see the park’s wonders, visitors can hike along the spring run or on the 4.5-mile Pine Island Trail. Visitors can also launch a canoe or kayak (rentals are available at the park) or take a guided river boat cruise.

Located between Orlando and Daytona, our Central Florida RV Park is surrounded by state-owned preserve land, but is still only 5 miles from Sanford, FL. The campground has a total of 817 sites, 569 of which offer full hookups, and there are plenty of over-sized RV sites to accommodate big rigs and small RVs alike. Wekiva Falls RV Resort and campground also offers tent camping at our Orlando-area campground. Some sites are equipped with picnic tables and grills, while others have fire pits, and some are located far back in the woods. Wekiva Falls is a premiere RV Resort and campground destination ideally located in beautiful Sorrento, Florida between Daytona Beach and Orlando. Before Walt Disney came to the area in the 1970’s, Orlando was a sleepy town with an economy based on citrus and cattle. Since then, Orlando has blossomed into one of our nations most sought-after destinations. That’s why the founders decided to build Wekiva Falls right up to the road, in Sorrento, Florida. The founders wanted to be close enough to all the attractions and local shops, without being disturbed by the noise, or frustrated by the stop and go traffic. Sorrento, Florida is truly one of the last peaceful reserves in Central Florida. With its near-perfect mild temperatures that last all year-round. Built on over 100 acres, you’ll find the beauty of the great outdoors stretches in every direction, as far as the eye can see. At Wekiva Falls a beautiful beach awaits, winding trails call your name, and a variety of nearby wildlife dot the picture-perfect landscape.

Salt Springs Recreation Area is one the recreational jewels of the Ocala National Forest, with a spectacular natural mineral spring that gives the area its name. Plenty of outdoor activities keep campers and day-use visitors busy, including swimming in the springs, fishing, snorkeling, hiking and boating. Salt Springs is located between the St. Johns and Ocklawaha Rivers, 35 miles east of Ocala, Florida. The national forest spans four counties and 383,000 acres. It is the southernmost and oldest national forest east of the Mississippi River, and protects the world's largest, contiguous sand pine scrub forest.
The natural springs, nearby Lake George and many surrounding rivers and streams provide ample opportunity for water recreation. Anglers can try a good fishing spot on Salt Springs Run, downstream of the swimming area, boat ramp and marina. Boat rentals are nearby. For those who wish to explore on land, the facility has basketball courts and a horseshoe pit. Hikers have easy access to the Bear Swamp Trail and a segment of the 1,400-mile Florida National Scenic Trail.
The semi-tropical region gives the campground a mixture of pines and palms, with lush greenery and warm temperatures. Within the recreation area, a natural spring rises from cracks deep within the earth. The presence of potassium, magnesium and sodium salts give the waters a slight salinity - hence the name Salt Springs.
Salt Springs is very close to Lake George, a great fishing destination.

We stayed one night as our AC was down and we had a Saturday trip planned past this park. We stayed with our membership and booked two nights, so we could check out late on Saturday. Spots were pretty abundant, and we found one by the pool. This is a “pick your spot” when you get there kind of place. Lots of long term guests, but not surprised. Great staff and pool was nice for the kids.

Can’t beat the convenience & amenities of the Disney parks are on your itinerary. Super cost effective and direct access to magic kingdom and easy access to all the others. Sites were big, clear and clean. Amenities were wonderful. I’d stay here even if we didn’t do a Disney park. There are so many sites and yes there are people around but there’s serious vegetation between all the sites that you have plenty of privacy. Constant ground crews, sanitation work and transportation options. Pools, restaurants, shops and fun activities going on all the time. We loved it.

Here at Sand Pine Campground inside of Blue Springs State Park, you’ll find that while this is a fairly large campground, the substantial amount of vegetation, along with the flow of how the campground is organized, the individual campsites give off a vibe of privacy, intimacy and solitude. Upon entry to this SP, you’ll meet likely some of the friendliest park rangers of any FL state park (although, honestly, the very GREAT rangers @ Rodman Campground ultimately win the battle!), who will provide you with all of the great information you need to have a great experience here.
As for the pet-friendly campground specifically, each of the 51 sites has its own picnic table, water and electric as well as fire ring, while the ground itself is laden with powdery grey sand (so leave your boots or flip flops at the door of your tent or RV). The individual slots are somewhat tight and narrow to navigate, but most RVs should be OK to back into these sites. What you will appreciate the most about Sand Pine is that just about every site offers a substantial amount of privacy with solid, thick Floridian jungle putting decent distance between you and your neighbors. The only downside is that it is a solid hike from this campground to the spring itself, which will require you to drive there or take a decent bike ride.
The amenities are pretty amazing with the two bathroom and laundry room facilities appearing to be nearly brand new and there are designated dump stations scattered throughout making disposal of trash and recyclables EZ. The restroom facilities had vending machines as well. As for the sand pine scrub nature you are surrounded by, but the real gem here of course is the fresh crystal spring that is teaming with manatees, which are best to view and swim alongside between the winter months of November and February. For my float-seeking friends, there’s a solid kayak / canoe launch and if you don’t want to get some oaring in, you can partake in a guided river boat cruise.
If you’re looking to get away from it all and enjoy some privacy, then this is a great little campground for you to consider. And if you miss anything from the non-natural world, have no fears, a short drive into town to grab a pizza or load up on groceries is easy enough to manage. What I love most about camping here at Blue Springs SP is that during heavier tourist season, a reservation will guarantee you access to the spring, which sometimes gets full and therefore requires the rangers to stop traffic flow into the park, so if you've got a place guaranteed for the night, then, well, you need not worry about the morning rush when most will just worry about getting in the park.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you find yourself out-of-luck in finding an available campground site to reserve, try your luck at booking one of the 6 often overlooked cabins, which BTW, come with their own set of parking spaces; (2) When you grow weary of digging through your onboard mini-fridge or roto-molded Cordova cooler, then check out some of the local fare where nearby in town, there’s a sweet little Argentinian joint called Rincon del Sabor, classic pie palace called Blue Springs Pizza and another ethereal dive called Taste of Soul – neither of which you’ll wanna write home about, but will definitely give you a break from ‘frank & beans’ for the night. And if neither of those places do the trick for you, there is also a few other restaurants you might wanna check out like Gram’s Kitchen for low country breakfast cooked up all day, Mi Tierra Authentic Mexican as well as Fire on the Bayou for some nice, spicy Cajun; (3) Should you need to stock up on any supplies, nearby Blue Springs SP has a 'grade A' Publix as well as a Walmart nearby, so you should have no problems being stocked up while staying here; and (4) When the kiddos get restless and the pristine nature that you find yourself surrounded by isn’t enough of a distraction, then head due east to Family Fun Town, which is a family-friendly amusement center with batting cages, mini-golf, arcade games and go cart racing.

I asked my parents to book this RV site because it has a pool and WiFi. First things first, you have to pay for WiFi. I spent $15 on WiFi for ONE DAY for 7 people because if you make only one account it allows only 3 devices to sign it with it. Doesn’t mention anything about that on their website or on here. The plants here and the views are really pretty. The pool was okay, and the one day and night we stayed there we met some friendly people who were staying there as well. The next morning, (40 minutes before checkout time) they were already calling my mom and asking us when we were leaving. Are you serious? Put an earlier check-out time on your business if you want people to leave earlier. It sucks because I recommended this site to my parents, and they treated my mom very crummy. We won’t be back here again.

Was there 5/20. Not much privacy, other campers close. The deer, yellow flies ate me alive, even with heavy duty bug spray. Not on the lake, so no breeze. Have to take a boat on Dead River to see the lake. Neighbors were loud and fighting well past midnight. The famous oak tree is up front by highway. Was a nightmare. Left early.
ScoutSo much to do you don't even need to go to the theme parks if you don't want to. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion https://youtu.be/3qPP3GaZ_UU
TravelerHad a 2 night tent camp stay here during January. Great option for family reunions, we had my girlfriend’s 30th here, and with our rented golf cart, had no problems escorting our guests to our campsite to enjoy a camp cookout with us at our campsite. Was definitely an authentic Disney experience, with a never ending list of activities with plenty to keep kids and kids at heart busy, which we didn’t partake in since we were enjoying our campsite.

We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 10 for 3 days in late April. The CG is very clean, well maintained. Most of the sites are fairly well spaced, particularly for a private CG. The CG host is very friendly and helpful. The property is expansive. The CG roads are paved and the pads are concrete.
AT&T coverage was ok, with 5 bars of 5G+ service and speeds up to 5 MB/s. Parts of the CG have a few trees, particularly near the entrance where ours was, but most sites deeper in the CG are open. We did have line-of-site to the DISH satellites and did have a clear view north, so Starlink was awesome, with speeds up to 53 MB/s.

This is an excellent place to pitch a tent and spend time in nature without traveling far. Great hiking trails and the Pelicer Creek is available for fishing. Bring a kayak.
The camp sites are huge. The tent sites are elevated which should help keep the soil dryer in case of rain.
Keep in mind that there is no water available at the camping sites or the entire park for that matter. Potable or non potable so you have to bring in all drinking water and water for washing dishes if you plan on doing some cleanup. Also, there are bathrooms but they’re pretty far. The campsites do have nearby porta potties.
GuideVisited to see Manatees from the land. Cooler temps best for manatee numbers.
Campground sites feel secluded with vegetation but can be challenging for backing up into spots.
Had electric and water but trash is upon exit along with dump station
Nice paved road around campground and short trail to main park area. Canoe and kayak rentals available.

This campground has a split personality. The west side has nice wide concrete sites, the east side is on dirt and gravel and not so nice. When I made my reservation I missed the pick your site($30 add on?), but given the difference between the two sides, it would have been worth it. This is definitely a KOA Journey, hookups work, good for a night or two, but not a destination. I didn't think it is quite as close to the Space Center as described.
Some long term residents, many on the east side, and the roads aren't very wide. The gentleman who escorted us to our site took us off the road and out into the grass to get around a tree to make the turn workable. Most of the staff was friendly and helpful.
Oh, if you look at this campground on Google's satellite view, be aware that there is a different campground that wraps the KOA on the west, and south. If you see tennis courts, you're looking at the wrong campground.
Given the history of this area I had high expectations. If you get one of the nice new sites, then I think it's worthwhile, otherwise this is one of the few KOAs that I don't think I will recommend for more than a night maybe two.

TL/DR:*My review is primarily for families with children*
- ANYONE WITH MINOR CHILDREN– AVOID AT ALL COSTS
- THINKING ABOUT BECOMING AN ANNUAL MEMBER- RECONSIDER, HAVE A BACKUP PLAN AND KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
- TRAVELERS- STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK– LOCK UP EVERYTHING!
My personal experience with Rose Bay RV Park dates from May 2020 to January 2024 with Jeannie Magill as the office manager.
**As of this posting, I have NOT been refunded for the prepaid days that I was not a resident.
Top things to know if considering Rose Bay RV Park:
-Advertised as an“all ages, family-friendly park” but that is NOT true. This was previously a 55+ park and that mentality remains. Children are NOT welcome and that is made obvious by the additional charges for them, the ever-growing restrictions on them, and the overall treatment by a large portion of the residents and staff.
-Children are charged an additional $5 per day, per child over the age of 11(as of the date of this posting).
-Children are not allowed in the clubhouse, to ride bikes, or to do much of anything without expecting a follow-up complaint. Their solution is to“take your children to a local park”, which is certainly not in line with being a family-friendly park. I will say again, THEY DO NOT WANT CHILDREN LIVING IN THIS PARK.
-NEVER use their address for your mail through USPS. You CAN NOT forward your mail to another address and Jeannie and Jenny personally go through every piece of mail and will use their discretion to decide if you will receive your mail, if they want to return it to sender, or if it just vanishes. They will claim that it is not allowed for mail to be delivered for someone who isn’t on the lease(ex: my children’s father provides health insurance and other needs and those papers come in his name even though I explained they are for the children). Still, several other people receive mail for individuals who are not on their lease. USPS is aware of this issue but cannot correct it since Rose Bay is considered a campground, even though it is primarily for permanent residents.
-Make sure you document everything that occurs there for your protection.
-The office staff will rarely correct any issue that you are having, whether it be a nuisance dog, safety concern, or any other issue. They will always reply with“Call the police”. I would use caution when doing so since that can be used against you and lead to your removal from the park.
-Know that you will be stripped of your freedom of speech in this park. Residents tolerate a lot of things that they shouldn’t simply because they are afraid of an eviction. Park rules are not there to help you but rather they are used as something for her to hide behind if she wants to use them against you.
-LOCK UP EVERYTHING. Your things will get stolen, especially if you are traveling and have the dates of your stay advertised in your front window.
-Be aware that rules are subjective and that Jeannie will make demands or tell you to do something that she doesn’t enforce with other residents. Examples: subletting, all residents must be on lease, visitors must check-in, speeding is punishable by removal from the park, and no conducting business. The list goes on and on but if you choose to live here, you will quickly understand what I am talking about.
-If you do decide to try to move in, background/credit checks seem to be impossible to pass. There is a rather large portion of applicants who pay the fee for a background check but are suspiciously denied.
-Don’t expect the park to take care of the lot that you are residing on. Concrete pads are broken and are a tripping hazard and most lots turn to mud pits.
-BE CAREFUL WITH THE ELECTRIC and use a surge protector.
-The water is randomly shut off.
-Trash is almost always overflowing
-Be aware of your legal rights as a resident of a campground in the state of Florida. Most residents are from other areas or new to the RV lifestyle. I strongly encourage you to educate yourself and to be aware that Florida is not a tenant-friendly state, especially for those in campgrounds.
My list was much longer but I am limited to how much I can type. Stay elsewhere and you'll be much happier! Trust the other reviews that also say to not stay at Rose Bay.

We spent a week at Harris Village RV Park and the owners were very helpful and the campground was a quiet respite during my visit. I plan to return when I have the opportunity again. Thanks to Phil for going above and beyond the call of duty.

We stayed in site 12 with a beach view. It was an awesome stay! The bath house isn't the cleanest, but it gets the job done.
Guide
We're members of Thousand Trails but we had to pay extra to stay here. It was a place to stay, nothing special. If you are there in the winter, the pool was cold and closes early. It is basically a place to stay and not very scenic. There are a lot of full-timers with their 'stuff.' The people in the site next to us had an outdoor shed with tons of junk everywhere. The park was close to Disneyworld and we dropped about $400 on a day at Epcot and had to drink our way through all the countries to make it worth our time since many of the attractions/rides were closed. I had fond memories of times at Disneyworld in the past with my kids but now, it feels like an artificial money suck. If you are in the area, I would recommend one of the other RV parks that has more to offer.
Guide
This park is built on a foundation of fine sand with campsites carved out of palmettos and tall palm trees for lots of shade and visual privacy. Really liked it and would go back any time.
Couple of downers, though, particularly for those contemplating an extended stay: (1) Laundry machines only take coins, which the concession stand does not provide; have to drive several miles into town to get quarters. (2) There are no plastic bag dispensers for dog cleanup, so bring plenty of your own.
Other observations are that there is LOTS of critter wild life -- coons, mice, and ferrule cats. Shower facilities are delapitated but the water pressure is good and the water hot.
GuidePerhaps the nicest park we've stayed at. We arrived after dark in the midst of a torrential 3-inch downpour, but the next morning there was no mud or standing water. Amazing! Shower facilities are recently remodeled and impeccable, with new wall tiles and epoxy floors throughout. Laundry machines take coin or credit card. They have plastic bag dispensers for dog cleanup. Such features make Lake Louisa particularly suitable for an extended stay. All the RV lots in our loop were L-shaped pads with an extension for the picnic table. Sites are spacious and open. Nice mix of back-in and pull-through sites. Lots of paved roads outside the campsite loops for biking.
GuideI really don't why people like it other than, "it's a campground on Disney property where I can get some perks of being at a Disney Resort." They seem to put minimal effort into it. The bath houses were clean-ish, one of the two toilets didn't work. I logged a work order and it wasn't fixed by the time we left. Generally the resort feels like Disney's heart isn't in it and they just want to do the bare minimum to keep it operating.
LegendWhether you like to get on the water in a kayak, canoe or fishing boat, whatever your mode of water transportation, you are in for a treat here at Tomoka State Park, which offers up more than 2,000 acres of a dynamic, diverse natural playground. This state park gem located in the center of Florida along the Atlantic Ocean east coast, Tomoka is a nature-lover’s paradise offering countless areas to launch your choice of watercraft, multiple miles of hiking trails, splendid fishing spots to cast a line from, semi-private shaded areas perfect for a secluded picnic as well as, of course, an idyllic spot to pitch a tent or park your RV camper and enjoy some outstanding experiences underneath the stars.
To begin with, what’s with that name ‘Tomoka?’ Well, this unique name heralds from the Timicuan native American tribe that once dwelled here (and can be traced as far north in Florida as Jacksonville – look for Timucuan Preserve). This indigenous tribe thrived in this area due to the abundance of fishing and hunting that abounds as well as being just a perfect spot to establish and build an Intracoastal-led community. Once you get on the water, you’ll be sure to enjoy the 13 mile kayak / canoe trail that is so popular here.
As for the campground itself, it’s a simple thin, but long and narrow 1-way loop intersected in 3 places that you will discover here at Tomoka SP that offers up some 97 spots for camping. All sites come with a picnic table (some in better condition that others), water and electric lines, wooden T-post w/ 2 hooks perfect for holding a garbage bag in one hook and recycling in the other as well as in-ground fire ring all set upon level sites with hard packed sand. There are 3 very clean and well-organized community restroom / shower facilities, which seemed like just the perfect number, given the total of sites in the campground, with each offering up coin-operated washers and driers as well as vending machines. There’s also a visitors program building that offers up educational seminars and group activities that change week-to-week. A proper dump station is also located at the front of the loop.
Don’t have a kayak or canoe? Forget something? Need some advice on where to float your boat? Want to get some good local advice on where to go and what to do? Then look no further than Tomoka Outpost, which you’ll come across about halfway through the state park. This cantina-like river-front mini-mart has you covered with both groceries and sundries as well as kayak and canoe rentals. If ever I saw a missed opportunity for a bar / restaurant, Tomoka Outpost would be it. All you need to do is look at the Intra-coastal (or Tomoka River) waterfront real estate that this place occupies, along with its nearly exclusive ability to serve up food & drink for at least a 10 mile radius, before you begin scratching your head wondering why they haven’t set up a proper restaurant and bar. With a near 100% occupied campground space here, along with the day-trippers, it is astounding to me that this hasn’t been though of before now (and forgive me if it has, but not realized for reasons I don’t understand).
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) When you grow tired of trying to conjure up that next meal from what remains inside your RV mini fridge or from the depths of your Cordova roto-molded cooler, then check out the few restaurants that exist for you to try out, wherein I recommend River Grille on the Tomoka for Cajun-inspired seafood or Houligan’s, which is basically glorified bar food; (2) If you don’t mind a slightly longer drive to get there, you’ll want to head to Ormond Beach where you should check out Jimmy Hula’s for arguably the best tacos in all of Florida, Lagerheads Bar & Grill, which is a neighborhood joint which is a down-to-earth seafood eatery or Lulu’s Oceanside Grill that offers up some pretty amazing live music on the weekends; (3) For the best sunset, head on over to Tomoka Outpost and have the Captain pull you a pint of their fresh draught, made especially for them, and munch on some boiled peanuts; (4) Don’t forget to stop by the northern stretch of the peninsula, where you can spy the Tomokie statue, which depicts Oleeta, an Indian war princess who is taking aim at Chief Tomokie with murderous intent as the chieftan had defied the sacrilegious prohibition of imbibing from the sacred Cup of Life, or so the legend goes; (5) As there is sand everywhere here in Tomoka SP, I highly recommend that you bring a box or matte that you can leave all your shoes and flip flops at outside of your tent or RV, otherwise, you’ll end up with sand everywhere inside; and (6) Hats off to the Ranger staff here at Tomoka SP – you are easily the best group of nature professionals I have ever had the pleasure of engaging with while camping. Keep up all your great work!
Happy Camping!

ScoutWhat a peaceful and relaxing visit to this beautiful campsite. Dog friendly! Really nice fishing spots to relax by the water. Oh but wait… if you forgot an essential, the outpost is sure to have it.
I really wish one thing! That someone would repair the Indian statue!
LegendThis is another KOA on our extended road trip around Florida. This one is a little older, and shows wear, but they are doing some construction, rebuilding some of the sites. The internet was hit or miss, mostly miss! The bathroom/showroom is dated, but adequate. It reminded me of a high school shower room. There is a small office/store with basics. Also a pool and laundry (most of the washers were out of order) Some of the roads are rough, and a few sites don’t look like they are useable. We were here in late October, between the summer family crowds and the winter Snowbirds. They do have long term rates for Snowbirds. It’s about 20 minutes from a manatee rehabilitation park, and also a manatee overlook pier. It is 30 minutes from Cape Kennedy and the NASA Space Center.
TravelerStayed here one night while traveling home from Miami. Camp sites seem very private due to vegetation and trees. Showers and restrooms are clean
RangerSuch a beautiful and clean campground. Our "Premium Meadows" site was huge, directly across the street from the trading post and pool, and backed up to a trail. Classy neighbors and very quiet. Amazing value to be in the middle of Disney for $130/night. A short golf cart ride to the Magic Kingdom ferry, and a similarly short ride to the buses to other parks. Definitely recommend the golf cart rental- so much easier and more fun than waiting for buses. The Hoop Dee Doo was awesome- a ton of food and pretty funny. Both pools were super clean and not crowded- open late too which was fun. This campground is so nicely wooded and full of paths. We can't wait to return.
