Cold water swimming. Good picnicing place. Not for from home. Resonable rates. Nice place to take grand children when they were younger. Now they are old enough to go alone.

Beautiful spring, nice graduated slope, good for little kids. Nice boardwalked trail. Clean grills and picnic tables. sometimes when the vultures are hanging around an employee comes out and cracks a whip to scare them off. Fun to watch! Nice bathroom facilities. I have seen otters here, they bite so be careful. Also have seen a gator over by the... More

We have camped in all different locations thru out Florida, and this has yet to be the worse vacation ever...... First of all, all staff crew very racist towards anything other then Caucasians. We had rented two campsites and weren't able to get there until later on the night, the very next morning we were greeted with "The campsite that... More

We camp here at least once a year. The campsites are well maintained and the bathrooms clean. The campsites walking distance to the springs and they have plenty of area to picnic or grill around them. Nice trails also surround the area if you love to hike. We will be back!

We booked our campsites online for a long weekend with three other families. We were able to choose the sites and view the sites online so that we knew what and where we going to be. There is no power or water at the sites but they do have restrooms in each of the loops and a main shower near... More

This is an amazing place in the middle of nowhere. Crystal clear water that you can see fish, alligators and turtles in. If you didn't bring your own, be sure to rent a kayak or canoe. Lots of wildlife to see.

My husband and I went to Alexander Springs last summer and we had a great time! The water was cold and clear and quite refreshing. One sits at the "pool" but soon realizes it's only a wall to sit on and that the bottom is the spring! A few eels swam past me and I was dismayed to say the... More

This is a nice place to visit during the summer as a day trip, but also a great place to camp for a few days if you enjoy camping. You certainly could spend a whole day in this place with the walking trails, canoeing and swimming. They allow scuba diving as well. The water was clean, clear and refreshing. It... More

**I highly recommend calling ahead to inquire about how many people are in the park because if it fills up, they will turn you away. Also, you wont be able to just park and wait- you will have to drive away and come back later. with that said... Alexander Springs has always been one of my favorite Florida springs! The... More

The water at Alexander Springs are clear, crisp, and refreshing. In the winter, bring a wetsuit because when you're in the water, it gets cold
