Can you believe we've never camped there?! We've been swimming and hiking there and very much enjoyed it! Stellar shots, Tom! Awesome and informative video. Thanks for doing what you do!
This campground was a pleasant surprise to us! Juniper Springs Campground would be more popular if they had some sights with power and water, otherwise, this park is right up there with others we have been to! TY for your kind words and support!
I was born and raised in Florida. I've been watching your tours of the springs. Wonderful memories of my childhood, camping all around the state at most of these. They certainly have changed over the years, greatly improved. They used to be more primative.

By far my favorite canoe run. We've seen deer, eagles, turkeys, gators of course, and even saw about a 5 foot diamond back getting some sun in a side pool off of the run. Your video's are very refreshing. Glad to have found this channel. Thanks
You know, this was one of the few I didn't get to kayak, I will have to go back and do it! Just curious, what do you think of us doing some videos just showing the kayak runs of these places?
@@CampTravelExplore yes please. The run here, if you don't rush it, takes about 5 hours all down stream and they pick you up at the end. My fav canoe run for sure. There is also a spot at the half way point you can stop and eat lunch. Ticks are bad tho.
Currently living in south Florida, I plan on moving to the north part of the state within several years. Have to put this place on my list. Peaceful, quiet and welcoming!
@@prueensgloria4743 I should have clarified that I desired to move MORE NORTH. I am now in Gainesville. And my understanding is that Ocala is regarded as NORTH Central.

I have kayaked down Juniper springs many times. There are some small rapids about 3/4 of the way down. We had a lot of rain this year and I didn't think anything of it. 3 of us decided to kayak down the 7 mile run. I got knocked out of my Kayak 3 times. The current was so bad even though I had my bobber on my go pro it ended up floating downstream in the current so fast I never found it. Just a warning for everyone to check the water currents. I knew I was going to tip over once I saw the rapids but the other 2 times I was slid up against logs and tipped over. Every one of us went in at one time or another. Beware of hornets also. They are generally in the bushes in full sun just in case you get pushed by the current that way. I was stung 7 times on that trip also. It was a tough trip but I wouldn't change a thing. We still had fun.

I think all of the ones in the Ocala National forest allow them, but there are quiet hours starting at 10:00 pm I believe. I hear ya though, peace and quiet is what its about!!
In the spring I should have my hybrid trailer. So is it safe for bears? For example cooking in camper and smell of food. It also has an outdoor kitchen. I had a close call with a Grizzly in Alaska when taking pictures of a bear teaching her cub to swim. Cub took off and passed 20 ft in front of me and of course mom chased after it. Tour guide was ready with bear spray and we froze.
Black bears in Florida are not dangerous in my view, they do ask that you keep your food stored properly, but I have never heard of a bear incident with a camper in Florida and I have lived here 50 years! Go and enjoy!

There is also a newly opened more private spring down from where they pick you up from the run. Just cant remember the name of it. Have not been there yet but its on our list. 👍 It was on a video of top ten in florida i saw few months back
Keep us posted, I would be interest in that! Also, did you get to see our "most underrated spring" video on Ichetucknee Springs? It just came out and we show some of the kayaking run there!

One of our favorite National Forest campgrounds. Great camping and wonderful swimming, kayaking, canoeing. A week after one of our trips there a teenage girl was attacked and killed by an alligator at a spring along the Juniper Springs Run.
Yes, unfortunately people swim where they shouldn't even though it looks like the perfect place to swim. They even recommend you do not get out of your kayaks. Juniper springs has a high concentration of alligators compared to the other ones. Every time I kayak down there I see one or two alligators and they see so many people they are not afraid of us. RIP to the young lady.
I just went there a few days ago. The sign at front says camping is $31 per night. But when you call to book a night there..... they ALSO CHARGE 9 dollars fee and a couple more dollars TAX. So, it is VERY EXPENSIVE. Be aware that your GARMIN will take you close but NOT exactly there. My Garmin showed it was in the middle of NOTHING.... and I had to drive 7 more miles. Another problem we had was we couldn't find all the WONDERFUL things mentioned in this video because the park is very large and there is NO MAP to guide you. I highly recommend it if you are YOUNG (I'm not). Book your reservation ONLINE... not when you drive up to the gate like we did.

Can you dive at this location?
Are they open.
O.m.w. It looks like paradise in heaven. How is the water so clear.
All Florida Springs seem like this! We did a Top 10 Springs in Florida video you may want to check out on our channel!!

Gorgeous perfect birthday trip

Great location for sure!
Rated in the Top 12 in the entire world.Spent 10 summers there camping with my children.A national treasure.🌈
Really beautiful there, we are looking to go back and do the kayaking run there!!
Another good one for the list
So glad you are enjoying these videos! We will keep them coming!

One of my favorite paddle board runs. I heard some crunching as I rounded a turn, came up on two Otters eating fish. Looked like kids with a popsicles
@@stevethomas760 it is peaceful freedom out there
I'll take that over these phones any day
I bet Ichetucknee springs would be great on a paddle board
Currently living in south Florida, I plan on moving to the north part of the state within several years. Have to put this place on my list. Peaceful, quiet and welcoming!
Alexander Springs is not far from Juniper also, we have a video if you want to check it out too!
This is central

LOVE IT ❤
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Is the parking decent there?
Nice video... Do you know any campgrounds in that area that don’t allow generators? Looking for a place that is completely quiet.
I think all of the ones in the Ocala National forest allow them, but there are quiet hours starting at 10:00 pm I believe. I hear ya though, peace and quiet is what its about!!
Real nice.
It really underrated I think!
Is there enough to do here for new parents with a baby? Looking for a weekend vacation spot that's safe during these covid times
I think this one might be limited for activities, but great swimming area!
Question is there any picnic places available just for a day near the spring
There were, but I couldn't say how many. It is popular for day use though!
yes, but get there early.

Is it open in November and December? And do their rv camp sites have electricity and sewer hook up?
says their open rn if you go to their website.
Gracias

How's it during December? Cold?
The water is 72 degrees year round, so anytime is fun to visit there!
There is also a newly opened more private spring down from where they pick you up from the run. Just cant remember the name of it. Have not been there yet but its on our list. 👍

The downside with these videos is that you are making going to be making these place too popular! :-)
You know, Ive been hitting these springs early in the week and sometimes I feel like I have the park to myself! Trying to get to Ginnie soon!
