Blue Springs Florida

We went to this park several times when I was a tween and teenager (1980s) and then I went again as an adult (1990s). Here's the link to the State Site. http://www.floridastateparks.org/bluespring/default.cfm

At this park, there aren't any "full hook up" sites, but I remember really enjoying this park. I believe every time I went here, I was in a pop-up type camper. I remember walking to the bath-house and it being fairly cool here with lots of trees. However, the last time I camped here was in 1995.

The best part about this campground is the spring. You can walk there from the campground and be prepared to spend the day tubing down the spring. Also, it's COLD! 70* year round, I believe. You can also rent a canoe and fish on the St. John's river. Well, you don't have to fish. It's an enjoyable time anyway. You can see down to the bottom of the river in several areas! You can also bring your own water craft (canoe or small fishing boat).

Before you go, get your own inner tubes, the big semi-tire type. You can rent them there, but the cost is daily and if you plan or think you'll be tubing more than one day, it's cheaper to buy your own.
