Dive into the Crystal Waters of Ginnie Springs

The denied my wife entry and would not refund us our money. Was told they have a number to call but was only given a card with a email. All because they want allow us to bring our neice in and they want let my wife in if we took our neice home.

Unsafe! I was denied entry into the place. At the gate I was asked by the guard if I had firearms. I did have a firearm, a small revolver, so I honestly answered “yes”, of course. No, he said, you can’t enter here. No way they would let me it. No they didn’t have a locker or a rented safe box. No I can’t enter even if I go to leave the gun with my relative in a city nearby. The only way to enter was to leave the gun in a gun store and bring a paper proof that it happened. Period. Well, the time was past 8pm and no gun shop was open, obviously. So basically, no entry for me whatsoever. Had it been an evil terrorist with a machine gun, he would easily enter the park, and meet no resistance whatsoever while carrying his malicious plans. Read the reviews. For a place that famously stinks of marijuana smoke all around, dirty unsafe restroom areas, with multiple drunk fights at nights, etc., they could do a better job on security and safety. Their staff could also be better trained on rules and conversations with visitors. If you read reviews you quickly notice that almost every 1-star review tells about the staff’s rudeness. I didn’t experience rudeness, because I didn’t break any rule, but I didn’t experience help either. I had to have a 4-hr drive back home. This place is definitely not safe. I won’t be coming here again. Never.

Ginnie Springs is one of our absolute favorite places to camp, and it never disappoints. We have visited many times with family and friends, and every trip turns into a memorable experience filled with fun, laughter, and relaxation. The entire park is beautifully maintained, and the natural springs are simply stunning—clear, refreshing, and perfect for swimming, tubing, or just enjoying the scenery. What we love most is the camping right along the river. There is nothing better than setting up a tent just steps from the water, waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature, and spending the day outdoors. Tenting here really gives you the full experience and makes you feel connected to the environment in a special way. Whether it’s cooking outdoors, sitting by the campfire, or floating down the river, every moment feels like a mini vacation. Ginnie Springs is also great year-round. No matter the season, there is always something to enjoy, and the atmosphere is consistently welcoming and lively without feeling overcrowded. It’s an ideal spot for both relaxing and having fun, whether you’re with family or a group of friends. We always leave with great memories and look forward to coming back. I highly recommend Ginnie Springs to anyone who loves nature, camping, and spending quality time outdoors. It truly is a special place.

Ginnie Springs is truly an amazing destination and one of our favorite springs in Florida. We've visited several springs over the years, and Ginnie Springs, along with Silver Glen Springs, ranks at the very top of our list. The water is crystal clear, the scenery is beautiful, and there is so much to explore. One of the best experiences is floating down the river and stopping at the different springs along the way. It makes for a fun, relaxing, and unforgettable day surrounded by nature. Our recommendations are to purchase tickets online in advance, arrive early, and visit on a weekday if possible. Weekends can get very crowded, and arriving early makes a big difference. We also appreciated the facilities, including clean restrooms and hot-water showers, which made the experience even more comfortable. Overall, Ginnie Springs is absolutely worth visiting and a place we would happily return to again and again. Highly recommended! 🌿💙🏞️☀️😊

Beautiful springs and always worth another visit! The crystal-clear water, peaceful atmosphere, and natural beauty make this place special every time. Definitely a favorite spot to return to! Shower and restroom facilities could be cleaner, needs attention.
