Juniper Springs Campground Tour & Review
Juniper Springs Campground is located within the Ocala National Forest about an hour and fifteen minutes north of Orlando and less than an hour west of Daytona Beach right in the heart of Central Florida! The have a wonderful swimming area, kayaks for rent, and a three loop campground. Camping is primitive, but you can use a generator from 6:00am until 10:00pm. One loop is for tent camping exclusively. The main walking trail is great and is on a boardwalk that follows along Juniper Creek! This is a wonderful camping destination in Central Florida!

Visit Juniper Springs Recreation Area in Ocala National Forest - Camp, Hike, Paddle, and Enjoy
Showcasing sparkling springs in a subtropical setting, Juniper Springs is one of the oldest and best known recreation areas on the East Coast. Located between Ocala and Ormond Beach along SR 40, this complex of swimming and picnic area, campground, and trails was constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The setting is unlike any other found in the United States, with hundreds of tiny bubbling springs and massive springs gushing out of crevices in the earth beneath a dense canopy of palms and oaks, an oasis within the heart of the desert-like Big Scrub.

General Information
Parking:
Large parking area for day use. Overnight parking available for backpackers for a fee.
General Notes:
Day use activities include picnicking, swimming, snorkeling, bird watching, paddling, and hiking. At night, relax in the heart of the forest within our historic campground.
A barrier-free self-guided interpretive trail paralleling the spring outflows of Juniper Run and Fern Hammock Run provides information on the semi-tropical vegetation plus beautiful views of the waterways.
For hikers looking for a day in the woods, the statewide Florida Trail passes through the recreation area, leading hikers through the rugged Juniper Prairie Wilderness to the north and through the tall pines of the Big Scrub along Farles Prairie to the south.
Canoeing is extremely popular year-round. The seven-mile journey down Juniper Run offers a unique perspective on the Juniper Prairie Wilderness, where you might see otters at play or alligators drifting through the shallows. Private canoes can be used, or canoes can be rented from the concessionaire on the premises. Haul-back services are available.
Accessibility:
Paths are wheelchair accessible from the parking area to the bathhouse, swimming area, and along the spring run Nature Trail.
Directions:
From Interstate 75 at SR 40 in Ocala, drive east through Ocala and Silver Springs to reach the Ocala National Forest. It's about 28 miles from I-75 to the recreation area entrance road on the left.

I have been looking forward to swimming in Florida's natural springs for over a year! I can't believe it has taken us this long to come to a place like Silver Springs in Florida. The only thing I am bummed about is that we didn't get to see any manatees! But if you are ever near the Ocala National Forest you have to swim at Juniper Springs!

Juniper Springs - Florida Trip vlog2
Come along on a trip to Juniper Springs in the Ocala National Forest. We originally planned to go to Alexander Springs, but the line of cars was 20 deep and not moving. So we decided to go the much smaller, Juniper Springs. We swam in the pool, saw the mill, and hiked a few trails. At the back end of the swimming area, there is a vent of freshwater about 15-20 feet deep. Perfect for snorkeling. Next time, we will rent a canoe for the 2 hour float. Great times with the family
