My family plans a vacation around the springs in Florida every year. So I have been to many of…read morethem. There are good and bad things about this spring, but I really would give it a 3.5 if I was able. Good: --- The staff is friendly and attentive. --- Picnic tables are plentiful, clean, and tucked under shade trees. --- Charcoal grills available --- Walkways are cement or wooden, making it easy on people with mobility issues. --- Restrooms on site (I thought they only had port-o-potties!) --- Trashcans are plentiful & not overflowing. --- Love being able to swim to the cave and crevices to see the spring boils --- Great for snorkeling, so many fish (not kinds of fish, but number of fish) Not so good: --- Price. $14.50 per person is absolutely ridiculous. --- Needs changing rooms. It's gross to change in a tiny bathroom stall. --- The water got pretty cloudy, and lots of debris near the walls. --- When I got out of the water I felt like the water had a smell and it was on me. Other springs I feel refreshed and clean. --- The steps are super slippery --- They make a big deal on signage not to bring oversized floats, yet said nothing the SUP that came in like the Titanic among fishing boats. Plenty of staff walking around to catch that. --- Lots of limestone rocks, but they are covered with mossy growth. In many places it is too shallow to swim over, but too slippery to walk to the deeper part. (I know it is a natural feature that can't be changed, but for the price...you need to know) All in all, we did have a fun day. This was our first day of vacation, so if all of the springs are cloudy for some natural reason, I'll come back and edit.

Disrespectful to Disabled Veterans - Very Disappointing…read more As a disabled veteran, I was appalled to find out that Salt Spring Recreation Area does not honor the America the Beautiful Disabled Veterans Pass. This pass is a nationally recognized symbol of appreciation for those who served and sacrificed, and the fact that it's not accepted here is both disappointing and disrespectful. Public lands across the country--national parks, forests, and recreation areas--accept this pass without issue. It's a small but meaningful gesture of gratitude. Instead of being free for me and 3 guest I was forces to pay $50. Salt Spring's refusal to do the same sends a clear message that veterans and their service aren't valued here. It's shameful. To make matters worse, the staff offered no explanation or empathy. Just a cold "we don't accept that here" with no alternative options or respect shown. It was disheartening, to say the least. You should be ashamed of yourself. If you're a veteran expecting the same treatment and respect you'd receive at any other federal recreation site, don't come here. I won't be back--and I'll be telling others to avoid it as well until they choose to do the right thing.

After spending 7 days at Paramore's Campground I gotta say it was everything I was hoping it would…read morebe after reading the reviews before booking the campsite online. This campground is remote enough to drown out all the noise from the outside world but close enough that in only a few minutes you can enjoy a few small town restaurants and convenient stores and lots of outdoor adventures. The turn off Highway 40 is easy to navigate even with the largest MotorCoaches or fifth wheel trailers and although portions of the road is narrow it is a nice paved road all the way into the campground so if you get confused just remember stay on the pavement and avoid all side roads which are dirt and sand. The office is staffed by a wonderful and helpful group that makes the check-in process simple and really quick if you reserved your site online. The roads inside the campground are also paved and wide enough to navigate stress free. Our site was very level in both directions and all the utilities were in close proximity and well maintained. Although there are a number of full timers here everyone we met were so welcoming and friendly and all the sites were nice and neat, I can appreciate all the rules after staying here and that's definitely the reason this place is such a gem. There are plenty of amenities including a large pool, tennis courts and a basketball hoop, a laundry mat, camp store and lots of access to the water whether or not you have a boat or plan to rent one and although I didn't use many of the amenities it's oblivious they are well maintained like everything else on the property. This is definitely "Old Florida Charm" so don't expect a ritzy MotorCoach Resort experience which is exactly what is so attractive about this place, so if you're looking for a little R&R don't hesitate to book it and hopefully you can get in, it seems no one is in a hurry to leave here...

Close to…read moreeverything right off I95, shopping, restaurants, and the beach is maybe 15min or less away, Flager Beach. Before leaving we deposited on lot #231 as it was perfect location and we wanted to return for 2023-24; tennis courts on one side, immaculate shower/bathhouse behind us adjacent to the pool....(non- heated, advertised as heated, big disappointment and shock). But we were assured that the part was on its way for the pool, which never materialized. Received a phone call in September stating that #231 was overbooked which would have been impossible as we booked with a deposit before leaving #231. Was downgraded to a less desirable location, with no explanation as to how this happened. Price increased $100 per month with no prior notification. Very disappointed, so, we will not be returning. Poor customer service is the reason for the 3 stars not the park.

Seeing various wildlife was a daily event: gators, turtles, kingfisher, herons and a wood stork. The campground is small and remote. The sights are narrow and short. It has mix of FHU and E&W only. The park's electric and sewer does need some work, our sewer connection malfunctioned, but they did repair itright away. Also had inconsistent power, our GFCI kept tripping. (Never happened before or after). So the ground may have been a problem. The closest full service grocery store is a Winn-Dixie in Crescent City, Seville does have a Dollar General. Local Restaurants: Pierson Family Diner- good home cooking. Idle Awhile- nice bar, good food, indoor & outdoor seating on the lake and live music.
