We stayed for 2 nights here. The staff at the front were very kind, one didnt know what all the orange county parks were, but another was able to help us. Our campsite was very nice, lots of privacy and we were very close to the restroom and showers, in fact all sites are close to the restroom and showers. There is even 2 swings near the restrooms,my kids loved playing there. We hiked for a few hours on our second day and my kids loved seeing the sink holes, deer, wild turkeys and squirrels. They were doing a ton of construction and sadly you had no access to the water which was a bummer. My biggest issue was that some of the maintenance staff had horrible people skills.

If your planning go to rock springs or Wakewa springs that is also very close these two parks are beautiful.Lots of walking and bike trails , beautiful vegetation and wild birds .I physically cant do camping on site because of back problems and hotels and RBNBS ere non existent in the area.The only option the town has is 1 Days Inn that is about 4 miles between each park.Hotel information is in one of the pictures I posted below for those that dont want to do camping.

Second time here and just as amazing as the first time!!!We have done the 2.3 mile trail both times and loved it! Theres some spots to stop and get out of your canoe/kayak and swim around! So many beautiful spots for pictures! And lots of chances to see wildlife!!!! (We got to see a baby water moccasin and a small raccoon )The staff is awesome and down to earth, not afraid to joke around and have fun with you! I love that you can bring your dogs (at your own risk, of course) and its all for a decent price!!!Get there early or youll have a long wait somedays, but it really is worth it! Just try to give yourself a solid 3+ hours so you can enjoy all the stop offs!

We had a great time hiking, although they have a lot of yhings closed, and roped off due to construction. Looks like once it is open it will be a blast, but as an outofstater would have loved if they had figured out a way to let hikers see the river and attractions during construction.

Truly breathtaking beauty! Even prettier than the pics but you have to see the cave!

Beautiful, and very friendly staff. The springs were closed for swimming when we went (the pandemic), but we had a nice walk around the park. The staff that we passed all stopped to ask if we had any questions, and gave us tips on where to go to see the source of the springs, etc.

The Springs are currently closed to swimming with that said, we almost had the park to ourselves. Peace and solitude...just what I needed.

Deff worth checking out. Beautiful spring. When I went you couldnt get in the water. Staff said spring itself was closed but atleast we got some good view of the springs, fish, deer and squirrels

So beautiful and clean. They close the park daily when they reach capacity so get there early. We got to the park at 7 and were able to get in. Park opens at 8am. Water was cold but your body is used to it quick. Plenty of shade with all the trees. Water is so clear and refreshing. Encountered some turtles and birds and lots of fish. Cant wait to come back.

Wonderful Park! Beautiful Water! Beautiful Springs! A must see here in FL!

Didn’t allow dogs so we had to cancel. They also charged a fee for canceling (10 bucks), plus if you’re more than 3 days out they charge you one nights stay so beware. Don’t go here if you have animals , even if you’ve paid they will turn you away leaving disappointed and broke.

The lazy river is beautiful. Relax as you float down the river as you are surrounded by beautiful scenery. When we went was a weekday. Not crowded. But have heard it fills up fast on the weekends, so get there early. I highly recommend. Bring a flotation device. Or rent before you get to the park because there is not where to rent them once you are at the part.

This is one of my favorite parks near to Orlando, Fl. I use this park often for my maternity Photoshoots.

LOVED IT! Visiting from Wisconsin and last minute saw it online as something to do in the area. Totally worth it if you like nature. Clear clean water, little trail to walk on too. Wasn’t too busy until later in the afternoon.

The raines a d hurricanes hace murked the waters.

Beautiful park absolutely love Rock Springs!! My parents took us when we were kids many. My siblings and I took our kids when they were younger and hopefully they will get the opportunity to continue the tradition and take their kids one day. I will be visiting Kelly Park in August sometime to celebrate my Birthday which isnt till the 22nd of August so I will probably go a week or two before that. Cant think of a better place to celebrate my turning 46yrs old along with my family!! If you have never been there I recommend that you do, you definitely wont be disappointed and you will definitely want to go back. I can almost guarantee you will go back!! ️

Beautiful park....unfortunately the water access area and water access trails are now closed until next year. We will have to come back and see more.

This is a great place for family and friends. Its pretty clean and maintained. In the summertime i would expect a large crowd. In the fall/winter time not so much. However, in FL it doesnt get to cold so there will still be people there. You can rent canoes and kayaks. In the front there is a shallow area where kids can play. You can also go to the head of the spring and swim. There is no crime, although people do drink alcohol and that may lead to violence and other problems.

Its a must go if you like nature and water, my whole family loves it, it has, a parking lot, a concession restaurant and bathroom and a little (very little) infrastructure. You should bring everything with you. The water is really clear and in the summer it is quite warm (I mean its not very cold) and refreshing. I do recommend and have no doubt that you will love it as we do.

One of the most beautiful places in Florida. Especially for the people who love the nature is this an amazing place. Youve got to close your eyes and listen to the nature. You can see many interesting animals. A really wonderful place...

Wonderfull, but you need 5 dollars for tickets, this paradise I like

Nice area to take photos in and walk around since swimming isnt open at the moment.

Beautiful spring and beautiful park. The park was extremely clean and everything was in good condition. The playground was huge. The food at the concession stand was really good and the woman running it was incredibly nice and helpful. The river is shallow averaging 2-3ft deep. Extremely rocky so water shoes are a must or youll regret it. The park has grills and park benches everywhere so bring the charcoal and grill something.

I cant believe I did not know about this place before! Definitely a must go, and from now on my favorite place to be! Amazing crystal clear water and very well organized! The river ride is not to long, but it is very relaxing and beautiful

Gotta give Kelly Park the 5 stars. This place is great. Inexpensive to get in. Parking is set up pretty well. I like it. Problem is there isnt enough of it so eventually if you dont get there early, itll fill up and they close down the entrance. Once in though, there is fun tubing, a great playground, volleyball, bbqs, concessions, bathrooms, etc. It really is a great time so if youve never been, put it on your short list.

Nice small park to hike. Only regrets, you could not go into the water. Fun to go back and have picnic.

One of the best spring parks I’ve ever been. And water was not too cold. My family loved it.

We visited this place since it was a location for the clear kayaks tour. The water is great and fresh. Loads of places where you can just sit on a perch or under a tree and just enjoy a nice picnic.

Much to our dismay, we arrived and were informed that it was closed for Bacteria and safety reasons. When planning your visit, be double sure to call ahead and confirm that the water is open to enjoy. I have been here before, and can highly recommend it as a must-see for Florida tourists and residents alike.

It is a great place to go swimming and for camping just make sure to bring bug spray. You can even see deer walking around, they never come up to you so dont worry about ticks or anything like that. My family and i come here every year the water is crystal clear and its so beautiful. It gets crowded but its still amazing to swim in the springs!

This Spring is for the whole family. Quiet and comfortable. Little ones have a place to play. Teens can wander off nut be safe. We love Rock Springs!

With visitors not being allowed in the water it ended up being the perfect place to take maternity pictures. Beautiful trails and scenery.

Loved it! Perfect place to do camping, explore and more.

Really beautiful park. Nice walking trail and camping areas.

My favorite river. Best way to enjoy is underwater. Bring goggles and water shoes. Float over the rocks while you look underwater. You will be able to see them coming and avoid them or just float over. Its beautiful under. Water crystal clear ...fishes all around. Ive seen turtles swimming in between people and they dont even realize it from above. Beautiful place, worth the drive

Great place. Kayak rental for a day or bring your own. Current can be strong. Decent parking.

Fun and relax park. Bring your water gears: snorkel, water balloon, bikini....you will love it like we do.

Such a beautiful place! One of the country’s great natural wonders. Stop by the tire rental place on the way so you can float down the spring run. A gorgeous place to swim and frolic. Picture perfect—I’ll never forget my visit.

Just beautiful! Thank you Austin what a amazing day We had a great time

Beautiful and relaxing. Water is super cold though! They do concider it full when it isnt is my only issue. The park was empty as I left and it still had 4 hours until close but they were not letting anyone eles in.

Love this place ️️️. Beautiful for hikes and camping the weekend. Was very disappointed when we drive 1 and a half hours just to find out the waters were closed. They didnt advertised people on Google only on the personal site.

Great park with lots of trails! The water is so clear my 3 year old loved seeing the huge fish swimming around so cool!

Amazing place, 5 dollars for the visit, not bad, the facilities are well maintained. We went during winter so it was calm and the water was really cold. I bet that during summer it can get really crowded.

Really nice park for all ...peaceful...awesome flora&fauna

Beautiful hike. Great for picnic or barbicu. Water was pretty green.Cost us 5$ for the car to get in

First time there and it was just beautiful!!! Highly recommend for a great day to chill and have fun!!! ️️️

Unbelievable! Pristine water. Beautiful, clean grounds. Plenty of parking. Great place for a day with the family. Good for younger children too. They have several beach areas and many areas are shallower than the average springs.

Swimming is not allowed, but the tranquil and shaded hiking trails are worth visiting. We went on a Thursday morning and saw about 10 other visitors and 4 deers.

Water is still closed after all summer due to Covid and now “construction”.....

What a cool...”cold” spot! Super clear and chill spring water to swim and float down! Wonderful picnic areas and plenty of parking!

Nice place to walk and enjoy a natural day in family.

Loved it but you have to have a tube to really enjoy it. They dont provide tubes on site.

Beautiful relaxing float down the spring if you get there early!

I grew up going to Rock Springs/Kelly Park it is a beautiful place to spend time with family and friends it hold a very special place in my heart

Showed up for my appointment which I made online to find out that the dude no longer works there. “Ok, someone will be with you when a seat opens.” Several people go in for their appointments. I ask when a seat will open after waiting and hour. “Who has an open seat next?” No one.Sloppy mgmt. save your time. Go somewhere else.

Cant swim because of covid but you can every where else in Florida.Makes sense.

Beautiful snorkeling run, nice campsite with beautiful new bathhouse.

This is the most beautiful spring in all of central Florida. I would come here every day

Its great... I dont give 5 stars just because theres no bathroom close to the campsites... not right now, but theyre building one... if youre camping on summer just enjoy your day doing some bbq or playing out of water as it gets crowdy from 8 to almost 3-5pm... so you can enjoy the spring waters for yourself from 4pm to 7pm... when its dark all the wildlife goes out for food so its not a good idea to be in water when is dark... next time, when the bathroom is ready, Ill give 5 stars...

Wide open spaces. Well kept pavilion. Beautiful walking trails. Great beach volleyball court. Bathroom was a disaster though. Fun place to go camping too.

Easy check in, choice of site if available, discount for 55 and up, including military.

Loved this place. Enjoy nature. Canoeing with friends. Relaxing.

Sheriffs ran us off. They were rude and had a bullying attitude. If we had stood up for ourselves Im certain they would of hurt us. Be careful going to Kelly Park.

Beautiful park. Great for kayaking

The tubing and swimming is closed. Im so sad. I was really looking forward to tubing. Its closed due to covid19. Just to let everyone know.

Closed for swimming till Corona is over nice n quiet

Only reason I put 4 stars is because i got tore up by no-see-ums, so bring bug spray! Other than that it was a great place to bring the kids and family!

Springs were beautiful but busy, but trails were not! Saw magical things

Beautiful park, however I visited when the lazy river wasnt open...I decided to enjoy the park anyway and take a hike on the Kelly Loop trail but was CONSTANTLY swatting at horseflies... after being bit several times, I decided to just leave after the one trail

Great spring. Cold of course, but you get used to it. Also, it was a bit crowded when we got there at 4, but slowly the crowd dispersed. Fyi rent a tube (before entering the park) or bring your own. They dont rent tubes inside the park. Typical first timers mistake.

It was a great expreince, the water was nice and the staff dont slack off.

Closed. The reasoning from the state park officials, I quote, We cant sanitize the sand.

So beautiful! Crystal clear water springs. Short tube run to float down the spring. Bring your own float for free and go back down as many times as you want. Walking/nature trails, some pretty bridges. Great place to spend the day! Perfect for families or couples

Pool was closed on a 90 degree temperature day!! Facilities are not taken care of, benches and picnic areas are super dirty. It had nice river views but that was it.

The landscape is awesome. A well maintained county park. The campground offers some very nice secluded sites. 50 amp service and water at each site.

Beautiful park with crystal clear water to swim in (when its not alligator mating season!).

Clear beautiful water, theres a small like then a big one

Beautiful. Peaceful.

Great place for a fun day out! You can rent tubes from the shop at the entrance. They have BBQs you can use. I would recommend getting there early in the summer as it gets busy quickly and they stop letting people in. I come out to Florida every year from England and try to get to Rock springs every time Im out there.

This place was Great. Such a fun trip it was going there. Id definitely reccomend this place. Cool trail. Awesome spring run & clean bathrooms. Great spot for a swim or picnic

This is a great place to visit for adults and children. Beautiful and fun

Beautiful spring located Florida. A very family ambience, great place were you can relax and enjoy nature. Water is a little cold and refreshing. I would recommend to bring either a floater (you can rent it at the entrance of the park for about $7 for the entire day) or bring snorkeling gear to explore and swim through the spring. There are places were you can have a bbq and nice parking lot Love this place.

Kind of want to keep it to myself. What a beautiful location tp visit lifeguards on duty, a concession stand available along with several grills. We had the leisure of a gopher turtle swimming under us in the springs.

I like fish i i canot fish but the rest of it us gud.

No activities at all wasted hour and half of driving the kids didnt enjoy it at all

Its so beautiful . I really love the nature scenery

Great experience to do with the family. The water in the springs is so clear and they allow you to float down on inner tubes. You can rent them at a store right before you enter the park or you can bring your own. We just purchased some cheap ones from Walmart and inflated them there. There are plenty of areas to BBQ, play volleyball and there is also a playground.Get there early though because they only allow a centIn amount of cars in. They open at 8 and we arrived 7:30. There was already a line half a mile long.

Beautiful! Had a lot of fun! Perfect family day.

Beautiful nature with fish, deer and butterflies. Beautiful clear water. benches and tables. Shower and changing rooms. Bathrooms. We couldnt find the place where to rent the round tubes to float tho. Guys at the entrance, you should recommend the tubes to visitors.

Beautiful.

Fun spot to float down the river in the summer. Water shoes are highly recommend as the name of the place lets you know exactly what youll be standing on.

Amazing place and amazing staff.

One of my favorite swimming holes since I was a kid back in the 60s. Lots of good memories. Very clean fun place to be on a hot summer day..

Loved jumping and swimming here.

Was my first time going and loved every second of it. Went camping for the weekend and you can walk from the campground to the springs themselves. The vegetation is amazing and breathtaking. The staff is very attentive and helpful. It rained a few times and there was lightening but they had an alarm to warn everyone they had to get out of the water. The bathrooms had three stalls and three showers so youll have to take turns if youre going with a big group. The camps have water and electric. 10/10

You can swim camp picnic canoe kayak and hike for miles

Great place and very clean. Very reasonable fee to visit. Saw deer and a snake

Best time to go if you wanna avoid the crowd is during the week, and when school for the kids is still in session. This is very well preserved land and the best to come if you want to enjoy a pristine river in nature. So beautiful.

I absolutely love this park. I have visited many times. The only thing that I did encounter on this visit was a snake in the water. There are clear signs stating that there could be snakes. I am not an expert so I can not say what kind it was, however, i would still recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a family day.

Love this park! the tubing is amazing, get there REALLY early because once they are full the close the park. there are lines at 6am.
