Utilized the facilities over two day for SCUBA cavern training ( did not camp here). Fulfilled all my requirements. Even those not cavern diving will like diving here. The store is well stocked. Crystal clear water to dive in. It does get crowded with swimmers/tubers on weekends, but did not detract from our experience.

Listen, this is a park for fun. It has world class springs, divers come from all over the world for this place, and you can still party within reason in peace. It is a beautiful park and very well worth a visit. If you prefer more corporate, no alcohol, sleep and leave kind of places, do not come here. If... More

The camp sites were nothing but dirt, even the parking pad for our pop-camper was dirt. I expected much more for the price. It's roughly $20 per person, so our family of 5 (2 parents & 3 kids) cost almost $100 per night. Toss in a bundle or two of firewood, from the camp store, and it WAS $100 per... More

Each year after Thanksgiving we camp with family and friends. This year took us to Ginnie Springs. Compared to other private campgrounds we've stayed at, Ginnie Springs was seriously overpriced ($20+ PER PERSON). For that price you would think the bathrooms would be immaculate and the sites would be level. Screaming and horns could be heard until midnight. I guess... More

First of all, the service isn't great. I noticed that a minority was just about ignored the entire time he was there. It is close to Gainesville so I'm not surprised. The springs were interesting to dive. The caves would probably be interesting too. I didn't dive them. The river had trash throughout. What a shame. They should have a... More

Not much to say besides always a nice time...And yes if you go on a holiday expect the college kids to be there in full force..it is noisy and they usually party till early morning.. so the reviews below talking about how this is not a family place is incorrect. Its very family oriented but again if you go on... More

The state needs to revoke their operations license, buy the place and make it a state park. The owner's lack of willingness or ability to control the illegal activity, trash in the river, and frequency of deaths due to bad diving practices (- and equipment. The equipment we rented was very shoddy) should be enough for them to lose their... More

We had never been to Ginnie Springs and decided to spend a weekend there with a total of 5 families with children ranging ages 3-17. We have a 3 and 5 year old so I was a little hesitant after reading reviews. I was hopeful that since most of the college crowd is home for the summer and was hopefully... More
