  • Blue Springs State Parks Florida 2 park review. We take you to Manatee Springs Blue Springs State Park and Gilchrist State Park to review both the camping and the amazing Blue Springs swimming areas. Come see some amazing views of the spring heads and camp grounds. We take you with us kayaking and also show you some amazing underwater video with our GoPro 8, from a sparkling blue water to the abundant marine life. Two Blue Spring State Parks but very different experiences awaited us. We catch up with some fellow RUclipsrs Joe and Rhonda of RVing with the Moracas.

    Hi friends. Very cool. We had no idea blue springs were even a thing. The water is gorgeous. I love the view down among the rocks at the bottom. Awesome. Manitee Springs looks like a great place as well. The deer were so pretty. Thanks for sharing these great spots with us.

    @zachtindell7751 2 года назад

    The manatees gather there in winter months when the spring is warmer than the other bodies of water and gators are mostly chill and will avoid people if they're in there. I've swam with gators in the springs they keep to themselves. gators will ambush small dogs tho along edges so keep small dogs leashed and close and..... for extra safety if u really need it bring a fishing pole and a gun lol
