Modern Resort

Visited CreekFire in December to visit Savannah. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Bathrooms super clean. Lazy River was closed because it was December. The pool was supposed to be heated but it was still chilly. Sites are very close with no privacy. Tried to eat at the on-site restaurant one evening - the booster seat was broken. They were out of high chairs and said we had to wait until someone was done - however we were seated at a high top table so my daughter would have been so low and not up near the family. They wiped down the table with a dirty cloth and it was still soaking wet. We just could eat there and left. I was glad to try this place out, but it won’t be in my rotation.

Always amazing

This is the second time we have been to Fort Clinch and it was even better than the first. Bathrooms are clean. Various trails and overlooks are worth it. Hiking, the beach, and a fort to see - cannot be beat. The kids love it and we will be back again and again.

Worth it!

Fabulous trip. Hiking is awesome in the area. Hiking at the park is a little rugged. Garden of Eden nearby is wonderful. Small, quiet campground. Very clean bathrooms. Sites can be tight and are very close together. Sites 17 and up have great views of the sunset.

Animal Lovers Delight

Large sites. Vegetation and buffer for privacy. Lots to do in the park and surrounding area to watch wildlife. Bathrooms clean.

Lovely even in winter

We stopped in for a weekend during the cooler Florida months. Was nice to sit by the fire. Lots of privacy. Restrooms clean. Music at an amphitheater close by was nice at night.

Love This Park

Came back a second time with a new moon. No buggy rides because of Covid. Stayed in horse camo loop. Bathrooms clean. Lots of wildlife. Huge storm blew in and had to leave early.

Great Family Spot

Super relaxing. Quiet. Lots of fishing near by. Spots on water are nice. Bathrooms clean. Would recommend for a short trip.

Cozy Cabin

We stayed in the cabins for two nights. Perfect for small family. Right near water and dock. Pool and jacuzzi. Water in cabin was brown - so showering was strange. Bring bottled water/water storage. Boat, canoe rentals. Bar on site is nice - food needs a little more to it. Will be back.

Great Kids Place

Lots of springs nearby. Trails are great for all. Lots to see. Bathrooms are clean. Little vegetation between sites, but enough space.

Beautiful Spring

Sites are small. Spring is gorgeous - you can swim, yak, canoe, and SUP. Be aware of the electric situation - might need converter. Some trails. Bathrooms need updating. Not privacy between sites.

Amazing for Kids and Families

Love this campground. You can have a waterfront site. The kids were able to play in the water right from camp. There are fire rings and the bathrooms were clean. No privacy but the sites are spaced out. There are a few nice trails across the street. It is on a military base.

Great Campground

Clean restrooms. Highest waterfall in Fla that ends in a sink hole. Waterfall has a ramp that leads to an outlook so ADA accessible for viewing. Very short distance from parking lot and was easy with a baby. Lots of hiking and a lake. Sites are semi private.

Still recovering

The caverns are a must see in this park. Come early before they open as there is a line. The spring is closed as is the campground and some trails due to hurricane damage. The staff are friendly and very well organized. There is a store. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

Newer campground

Newer RV park. Clean restrooms. Pool and dog park are some of the amenities. There is a boat ramp and docks/slips, but the lake was almost empty - no fault of the campground. Some sites are paved some are not. No privacy between sites. Electric capacity lacking. Only had an amp hookup but needed outlets for our popup. No fire rings - need to rent. There is a store/gas station at the front of the park. Would not stay again for personal preference.

Love this park!

This is a great park with tons to do. Sites are well maintained. They are close, but there is a lot of vegetation in between. Bathrooms are spotless and cleaned 3x a day. There is a path from the campgrounds to the spring. There is a shop on site as well as rentals for canoes and kayaks. You can take a river tour as well. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Outstanding

We came to Blue Spring SP to view the manatees in the spring during the winter. The restrooms were clean. The park is very quiet. You can rent canoes, kayaks, and take a boat tour. There are park rangers giving facts about the manatees throughout the day. This park has a beautiful boardwalk to walk along the spring as well. There is swimming in the warmer months. The store provides food and lots of camping items.

Disappointed

We wanted to love this campground but couldn’t. We got TONS of recommendations to visit this resort based on the fact they had plenty of things for kids. We stayed in site 31 and were so turned off that we ended our trip early and went home the next day. There is little vegetation between the sites and barely enough room for the tent. It was a very small site, most/all of them were. It is a noisy park and where we stayed our campsite was pretty much a parking lot in the evening due to the traffic from the office and restaurant and a high traffic zone during the day because of the kayak launch. Trying to put a baby down is hard when there are constant cars, headlights, and golf carts right in your site. At night there are tons of cats that will invade your site (while we were out sitting) so don’t leave food out. In the morning we woke up to a pig (must have been a pet) wandering in our site!! It defecated in our site and that’s when we pretty much had enough.
I’m sure some really love it but we didn’t. We probably could have asked to move sites, but the thought of packing everything up to unpack it again was too much. We will not be back. *usually I take tons of videos and photos for my reviews. I didn’t do that this time if that tells you something!

Will Be Back

We spent a weekend here at crooked River State Park. The campground was clean, the bathrooms were clean. There were many amenities and lots of things to offer like fishing, hiking, putt putt as well as stores close by. The campground is open however sites are very far away from each other. There are plenty of pull through sites. The cabins looked cute and cozy although we did not stay in them. We will definitely be back with the kids.

Amazing Spring, Small Sites

This spring is one of the newer State parks in Florida. The bathrooms need updating. The sites are small. The electrical boxes are limited to amp hookup. The spring is AMAZING!!! When you camp here you can use the spring before and after those who come for day use (there are a lot). I’m the evenings we had the spring to ourselves. There are hiking paths. You can rent canoes, kayaks, and SUP. They do not sell firewood or ice here.

Family Campground

We stayed here for a night and loved it. There were short trails, a kayak/canoe launch, a pool, dock, fishing, and clean amenities. There are lots of mosquitoes, so beware of that and bring bug spray. We had the Squirrel Run cabin which had AC and 6 bunk beds. Which was great for our family of 6. No one else was there, so we had the whole area, campfire, mess hall, and bathroom to ourselves. The only downside was the fact that they are very strict at the pool. The children had to do swim tests and wear a necklace denoting which portion of the pool they could be in.
