Peaceful paradise near the springs
First and foremost, this was such a peaceful and amazing campsite. Having electric hookups was a huge bonus since most places I camp donât offer them, and the water hose was only about a two-minute walk away. It really felt like an upgraded primitive camping experience. My daughter wasnât a fan of the outdoor bathrooms at first since it was her first time camping without plumbing, but she adjusted quickly. There were also several stores within 10 minutes if we needed anything.
The area itself was incredibly tranquil. I loved relaxing in my hammock and listening to the cicadas in the evenings. We also visited the rescue animals a few times during our stay, and I absolutely love that the money from bookings helps care for and feed them. There are no roosters on site, so you donât have to worry about loud crowing early in the morning. You may hear occasional soft animal noises depending on where youâre staying, which I personally found really charming.
The campsite had tons of space, and even though other families were staying there, we barely saw anyone. It honestly felt like we had the entire place to ourselves.
The location was perfect too â only about 15 minutes from Rainbow Springs and around 30 minutes from Crystal River, which was exactly why we chose this area. Finding a campsite conveniently located near both was ideal.
Overall, this was a fantastic stay and we will definitely be back!
