Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids.

Bring your mountain bikes, canoes, kayaks and fishing gear. We have it all here at Seminole Springs. We are open for tent camping. Limited number of campsites with Tents on them in a variety of sizes available. First come, First serve. These sites will have a slight upcharge. When you book, if you want to upgrade and reserve one of these sites, let us know and we will accommodate you. We also have 3 units inside the lodge for the people who need just a step up from glamping, but not quite the whole hotel experience. These are beautiful comfortable rooms with half baths in the rooms. The showers are located in the lodge bathhouse. WE have the Jungle themed room, the Equestrian themed room and the Honeymoon Suite. Each unit comes equipped with its own hot tub. (To book any of these units, just send us a message and we will reserve it for you. The prices for these units are different than that campsite and glamping site prices.) The Grist Mill is also available for rent too! This is a very romantic, yet rustic getaway equipped with a half bath as well. Very secluded and private overlooking the spring on one side and the water fall on the other. Sit outside on the deck and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature and at night the sound of the waterfall will lull you to sleep. The shower is located in the Lodge bathhouse. (To book this unit you must send a message to us and we will reserve it for you. The price is different than the campsites but we will go over that with you) WE ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR YOUR EVENT: TAKING BOOKINGS FOR WEDDINGS, CAR SHOWS, MUSIC EVENTS, ETC. LET US KNOW! NOTE: TURN AT CAMP SEMINOLE SPRINGS SIGN ON HIGHWAY 21. Your GPS may tell you to turn at the wrong St. Make sure that you are turning at 244th...Your GPS may tell you to turn at 243rd Street (where the Orange Market it) which is a dead end street. Just go a little bit further until you see the sign for Camp Seminole Spring. Bring bug spray and sun screen. If you need something, don't worry! There is a Dollar General, a gas station and a small cafe within walking distance. We have 38 acres of camping sites nature trails for hiking and mountain biking. Guests can park right on their site, or they have the option of parking and hiking into the woods to set up their site a bit more remote and off the beaten path. This is rustic camping. We have a bathhouse located at the campsites with showers. The bathhouse at the Great Lodge will be ready by Fall 2022. Whereas we do have garbage cans, we prefer that anything you bring into the property, you bring out with you. We allow campfires. Don't be surprised if you see a monkey or two in the trees... The fishing is amazing in these parts, so if you are an angler, come and visit. We have .75 miles of frontage on the Orange Creek. The creek flows into Lake Ocklawaha which just so happens to be one of the best bass fishing lakes in the USA. In fact, ten-pound bass are not uncommon from the Lake Ocklawaha River in the winter. Recently (2020), a 17.2-pound bass was caught there. The combined Ocklawaha and St. Johns drainage basin is possibly the most significant river-estuary waterway of Florida. This water system is of legendary reputation among anglers of largemouth bass who seek 10 pound plus trophy fish. Conveniently located between Ocala and Gainesville in the heart of Orange Springs, Florida, Camp Seminole Spring is perfectly located for the traveler who wants to really connect with nature. It appears to be ‘off the beaten path’, yet it is close enough to civilization so that even the most seasoned camper can make a quick run to store should he or she need something not found in nature. Camp Seminole Spring is mid-way (approx.. 22 miles) between Ocala and Gainesville, Florida, which are two thriving cities in this area of Florida. Ocala, the ‘horse capital of the world’ showcases a brand new multi-billion-dollar equestrian center which draws people from all over the world. This scenic property has an artesian spring which pushes out 1.6 million gallons of water per day rated among the top three percent of water in the world with an 8.4 natural pH. This water fills the pond and then continues on to flow into Orange Creek. Camp Seminole Springs was established in the 1940’s as a honeymoon resort and campground. The founders built a heart-shaped ‘pond-spring’ which is filled with the crystal-clear water pushed out from the spring where guests can lounge by the beach or gaze down into the bottom through the glass-like water or take a refreshing swim. At the top of the hill overlooking the heart-shaped spring, one will find the rustic Great Lodge where guests can come and mingle with each other, enjoy a relaxing conversation and a drink on the veranda or just sit and watch the activity in and around the spring.

Camp Seminole Springs

AMAZING SOLITUDE! Actualorange spr!

Y'all need to look past the overgrown sites and the truck traffic. Don't check in on Saturday. This place is perfect and beautiful. Campsites right on the springs by the bridge. The springs are orange. Beautiful heart shaped pool that was lovely at Dawn and sunset. I had the entire place to myself Sunday night. Incredible. Bring your rain boots so you can go waiting there is some algae I loved the pictures turned out so wonderful. Quicksand was cool. And again I had the entire place to myself! Solitude! This is an old Girl Scout camp and it had really good energy. Nothing bad has happened here. I will frequent this place on my trips up the East Coast. Comfortable and Perry is super nice. Five stars. Don't check in on Saturday if traffic bothers you 🙏

Camp Seminole Springs

Relaxed Campground

The campground was nicely maintained, the camp sites were clean and well spaced out to give your group their own space. The little spring area was a nice little swimming hole, I think you can canoe or kayak down the small river in the back of the property. There are some permanent raised tent structures that I assume could be rented also. It would be a nice location for a large group with the set up they have. I saw one bathroom building with a couple showers that had warm water and it was pretty clean. Overall for a chill weekend it was nice...

Camp Seminole Springs

Such a tranquil space

I absolutely loved Camp Seminole Springs it was very peaceful and spacious we couldn’t hear any of the other campers around us, we also forgot some things so the walk to town wasn’t bad at all. The camp attendants were all super helpful and friendly and there are plenty of fire pits and spots to chose from we didn’t swim in the springs this time around but all definitely be coming back. Also would recommend tick repellent for the pups if you happen to be bringing them with.

Camp Seminole Springs

We are a family of 7 and really enjoyed our first tent camping adventure here together. There is some issues we had with the restrooms and showers in the back of the camp area but we did find out there was a better shower set up around the spring area in between the 2 tent cabins. For our first experience I'd say it was a success and the sinking boil was the main hit for our kids.

Camp Seminole Springs

Great Camp ☀️

I loved tent camping here! I went during the week so it was empty and quiet. Property has many little pavilions, picnic tables and water sources. Showers were great, super hot water. Bathrooms were clean as well. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Remember your bug spray & toilet paper & you're all set.

Camp Seminole Springs

Much needed time to unplug

The camp is very much off the beaten path. Our time there was extremely relaxing giving us the opportunity to stroll through the woods and play in the springs. There were very few campers on this particular weekend, but everyone we encountered was extremely pleasant to interact with. Highly recommend if you want to simply relax in the woods and just take it all in.
