Silver Springs State Park Campground

Campground is basic, very few sewer spots but there is a dump station. Big rig friendly, several pull thru spots, easy paved entry, gravel sites, I think all are 50/30. Plenty of space between sites. Clean bathroom, washer/dryer, soda machine. Very dark at night which I love. No lights except the bath house. Dog poo bag stations. Very friendly staff (Melinda & John, camp hosts were amazing) 1 mile from amazing kayaking. Great, woodsy hiking trails. Maybe 3 miles to Publix/Wawa.

Loved this campground. We had sites 22 & 24. Site 22 has lots of sun; site 24 was full shade all day. I thought site 20 was the best. All campsites are very roomy. Bring your paddleboard or kayak. We drove to Silver Springs park and put in. Lazy river ride for 2 miles where we got out at the River trail. If you do this, bring your kayak wheels as it is a 1 mile walk back to the campground (or 1/2 mile to the River Trail trailhead). Then went to pick up truck where we started. Highly recommend this campground. There are also lots of trails to hike, but it was so hot when we were there we did not do any but the river trail.

Large gravel sites with a nice amount of trees and foliage between sites. Bathhouse on our loop was excellent with plenty of hot water. Museum only open to public on weekends.

Just a beautiful state park, with that old Florida feel. The sites are big and have plenty of space between them. The the park staff we interacted with were very friendly and informative. The glass bottom boat tour is an absolute must, we had such a wonderful time and the boat captain had lots of interesting information. We have a 4 year old and a 10 year old and they both really enjoyed the boat tour also.

Campsites were large and private. Quite area, would have loved to stay longer. Restrooms were clean

Campsites were huge and private. Super quiet campground. Very clean. The ranger was super helpful and friendly. Beautiful park to explore. I suggest renting the kayaks and exploring. Totally worth it!

It was quite a relief to be able to secure reservations for both the beginning and end of my trip. My first night was relaxing and fortunately I slept reasonably well before starting out before dawn on a solo backpacking adventure on the FT. The facilities were much nicer than I expected and all of my questions were answered at the entrance gate. After my six night foray, I returned to spend two more nights just enjoying the park and resting my muscles. What a scenic setting for a campground! Definitely one of my favorites in my home state!

Best site we‘ve visited so far. Well maintained, lovely, helpful people. Huge spots with water and electricity for relatively good price! We love it.

Loved the site! Great campground. Education center and museum were awesome. We even did the scavenger hunt as adults! The Bathrooms were crazy hot. No air circulation at all. And very few sites have sewer. So July in the bathrooms was like a Sauna on the equator. Most sites are pull through which made them big! They are pea gravel with a level substrate.

Wow, I was not expecting this site to be so huge! We easily could’ve fit two RVs in our spot. The pull thru was super easy. Tons of space in between sites. Nice and dark at night.

What a beautiful place. Had site 4, and it is beyond huge! It’s a pull thru with mostly shade. 50 amp and water, although sone are FHU. Restroom, laundry, showers are one of the cleanest I’ve seen! We rode our bikes to Silver Springs. Many movies were recorded there. Beautiful springs with glass bottom boats. Amazing place!

Large spread out sites, shade, super clean bathrooms, easy in and out. No wonder it's hard to book.

Silver Springs Silver Springs SP Beautiful Florida campground with 60 sites, many pullthrus. The sites are huge with lots of space and privacy. Lush surroundings. Water, electricity, fire pit, grill and picnic table on level gravel sites. The bathhouse is modern, clean, good sized. They have family showers too. Nice laundry facility. There is an environmental museum and a Pioneer Village and the grounds. Campgrounds are next to the Silver Springs where you have to take the glass bottom boat tour.$10 pp for seniors. You can also kayak the Springs but watch out for gators!The grounds on the Springs and campground have great trails.

Very pretty, the glasses bottom boat tours are reasonably priced and 100% worth it. Beautiful hiking trails. The cute town center with gift shops, museum, and restaurants was under construction when I was there but there was a food truck. No swimming but there is plenty to do. Decent cell service. Campsites to main park is not walkable. There is a playground.

We had such a great time campground was great and all of the staff at the park were extremely polite, happy to be there, and helpful.

I've been here a few times and enjoyed both times.

Silver Springs State Park Lovely state park in central Florida. Quiet, well spaced forested sites. We stayed in #27 in Feb 2021 but all the sites are nice. Bathrooms and showers all clean and there are some coin-operated laundry machines. Several good hikes from the campground although they don’t show up on the AllTrails app. The trail heads are near the Museum and they branch off into various trails. No trail maps at trail heads though - the only one we saw was deep into one of the trails. The River Trail and Swamp Trail are very nice. The campground is about a mile from Silver Springs SP day use area, and there are more hikes there. There are also kayak abs canoe rentals there. We rented a kayak for two hours and it was great. We will come back!

Full facilities. Extensive trails. River access. Beautiful forest. What’s not to love.

Spacey sites, though tent campers run the risk of RV generators in your ear as per most Florida state park sites.

Took me two days to see monkeys. I'd recommend staying 3 days if this is your primary reason for visiting the park. The Swamp and River trails (both trailheads are near the campground) are your best bet for seeing them on foot, but I only saw them by boat.

If you have your own boat or paddleboard, you can launch from the ramp half a mile off the River trail ($2 launch fee) and paddle upriver, then float down in the hopes of seeing monkeys.  You can also launch from Ray Wayside Park and paddle all the way up (6 miles, get wrecked).

In addition to a troop of rhesus macaques I saw gators, cormorants, anhinga, hella fish, great blue heron, red bellied cooters, and one otter!

Beautiful place. Kayaking here is awesome. Try not to go during a tourist time. The cabins are very large. Fireplaces. Larger bedrooms...

We stayed here over the winter and we were pleasantly surprised! The spaces were relatively private, and the bathrooms were neat and tidy and there was water and trash on site. We tent camped and after enjoying the springs we went and had dinner 5 minutes away! This is a great spot because you feel secluded but you can run to a lot of nice restaurants and grab groceries nearby! We will be back. 

Nice sites and some even have full hookups which is unusual for a Florida State Park.

This park is more than just a glass bottom boat tour. Within the park radius—> You have the “Silver Springs Attraction”, the state campground with all it’s hiking/biking trails, Silver River kayaking/paddling , a small museum and lots of history at this park. Then within an aprox 6mile radius (easy biking) you can enjoy Majorie Cross Greenway,Florida Trail, Swamp Lake trails and the state park equestrian trails. Wow! RV and tent sites -some with full hook up and really nice cabins. This was some the best kayaking up and down river....both ways were a joy to paddle. (Watch our kayaking the silver river video on our YouTube channel...resident manatees are often seen on river!!) We were here in a 34 foot Class A with only 2 bikes and 2 kayaks Happy Camping www.travylcouple.com

Nice quiet area. Lots of history! Restrooms and showers are in nice condition. Washers and dryers as well. Park staff are all very nice as was the campground host.

Lots of Floridas natural beauty but it felt like the camp sites were a bit close together. Very few full hookups most with electricity and water only. Probably won't stay here again

Went here with a group of women campers. We had about 30 total. The screened in porches on the cabins were so big we were able to have a potluck altogether on one porch. Once a month, there’s a volunteer-led tour of the Cracker Village and drumming. The museum was well worth the $2 donation. The hiking trails are well-marked and in good condition. The glass bottom boat tour was a blast. Great facility, great weekend.

Silver springs campground really nice extremely large campsite area is nice fire rings But we wanted to see the monkeys so we brought kayaks with us and went out on the river and got a photo of a rhesus monkey
