You are the first ones to show the the whole run. I have not seen anyone show the end. Thanks

[@CampTravelExplore]

This feedback is great! We really appreciate it!

[@ingeniousviralproducts]

Thank you so much. FINALLY! a guy with sense. Showing the map how it goes at 1:18. Been looking at so many videos and nobody ever showed how the spring goes. There are a lot of people want to know how far it is and how to turn around. They are skeptic on how far if they can make it or how deep (Some don't know how to swim). I was doubtful going there and also King's Landing how it goes. Hopefully in the future, this channel places an infographic map on the side of all his videos so we know where to go. MORE POWER CAMP TRAVELEXPLORE. Thank you! Please also show tent campsites and map. Especially near Ocoee! A million thanks again!

[@CampTravelExplore]

[@exquisitecaribbeanqueen7198]

Thank you, this is awesome

[@CampTravelExplore]

So glad you enjoyed it, now get out there and float down it!! :)

[@johncaban4310]

Love all your videos! Last month went to 2 Natural Springs in Ocala Forest, Crystal River to see the Manatees, and Rainbow Springs for a 7 mile Kayak adventure! Needed to get out of Massachusetts with all those Covid Restrictions. Will go back in September for my Dad's 80th and will do this spot with my Daughter who has Down Syndrome. Thanks again for all the idea's.

[@CampTravelExplore]

So glad you are enjoying them! Silver Glen springs is our fav for swimming for what its worth. We want to get over to 3 sisters springs ourselves and see the manatees! Thank You for supporting our channel, we really appreciate it!

[@ruabadkitty]

Gosh this is so close to me and I never heard of it! Thank you

[@CampTravelExplore]

Get out there then and check it out! Thanks for watching!

[@cindyb2775]

72 degrees is not as scary as it sounds. So fun!!!

[@CampTravelExplore]

72 and refreshing :)

[@LazyLocations]

LOVE Rock Springs Run! Great video. Thanks!

[@CampTravelExplore]

TY for your kind feedback!

[@bar-b9431]

I've lived in Wekiva Springs for 15 years. I've never done the tubing. No one to do it with, but have always wanted to do so. I think it would be such fun.

[@CampTravelExplore]

You will love it!

[@FLrebel64]

The last time I went tubing down the Rock Springs river was back in 1986. It was very beautiful then despite the problem with people bringing in their Boom Boxes!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Wow 86, that is great!

[@alvinmedinamusic8884]

Cool video. Thanks for sharing.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You!

[@TheMcMillanExpress]

Beautiful!!! Can’t wait to go to this place!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Put it on your Florida list, I think one of the most underrated campgrounds in Florida!

[@RedZMatrix]

Great videos as usual. We live 15 minutes away!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Lucky to be so close!!

[@csjmoore]

We were very near last season. Bummer, spent the time on northern springs area. Need to do this and $7 is a bargain to keep this service in business.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Absolutely. We just loved it and are already planning a return trip. If you can go on a weekday, its so less crowded, just wanted to share that!

[@aaronmorgan8864]

Great video! How long is the walk back to the beginning of the tubing run?

[@CampTravelExplore]

about a 15 minute walk back I would say, totally worth it!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Looked like a blast, is the RV park close by? thanks ya'll.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes Rock Springs is within Kelly Park! We have a video on Kelly Park as well if you want to see the campground there! The link for that video is in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@steveinsaugus]

Instead of tubing, could I bring my kayak?

[@CampTravelExplore]

You can't kayak in the tubing run, but the kayaking from kings Landing next to Kelly Park is some of the very best in Florida. The tubing there is great, I hope you check it out!

[@sandyhockemeyer9768]

I really wish there was a Loved it button. WOW!! Times a million. I always used to tell my dad that if I could picture the Garden of Eden it would look like Ginnie Springs but this place Kelly Park and the tube run wow they have it all over Ginnie Springs. I mean it is absolutely breathtaking. Like I said in my other comment to you my daughter doesn't want any part of scuba diving and I don't push her to do things she's afraid of but she is a water dog and I know she would just love this place and it's so affordable. We will be driving down from Cincinnati Ohio. Can I ask you a few questions? First of all is the pathway a difficult walk from where you get out with your tube back to the beginning? Also I was wondering what time of the year you were there making your video? I know my parents and I always came down to the Branford Crystal River area usually in October or February because we avoided all the crowds but my daughters in high school so I have to work around her school schedule. I just bet spring break is crazy down there too. When we visited Ichetucknee when she was about three years old it again was in February but she doesn't remember it that well she was just a baby they told us that in the summer on a weekend you can walk across the river on people that's how crowded it is. Thank you for these awesome videos you better believe we subscribed and I have told a lot of my friends about you guys because your family friendly and that is a wonderful thing and the places that you have show are not so outrageous that families cannot afford them. Thanks a lot I look forward to catching up with all the videos and keeping caught up thanks again.

[@CampTravelExplore]

The walk back to do the tube run is about a 1/4 mile walk or so from where you take the tubes out, however, there is a way to do a shorter version of the run as well. We were last there in October, and that is a great month to go! Try going on a weekday as well, you can see in the video that it wasn't crowded! If you only go on a weekend, it will be crowded anytime its warm out. Thank You for your questions, I hope I helped you with what you were wanting to know.

[@sandyhockemeyer9768]

@@CampTravelExplore Thank you so so much!! You have helped a lot. Awesome traveling! Be Safe

[@CampTravelExplore]

Glad we were helpful!

[@StephanieKlotzMorningCleanse]

If I want to go to Florida as a "snow bird" do you have any suggestions on how to do it affordable? I don't want to spend $4,000 a month on rent.... however I would love to be in a warm part of FL in Jan. - April :)

[@CampTravelExplore]

Try some of the Orange county parks, they only allow 14 day stays, but you can get them a bit easier because they can only be booked 45 days in advance. We have a video on Magnolia Park in our library of videos, see what you think, should be able to get in there during those months.

[@StephanieKlotzMorningCleanse]

@@CampTravelExplore Thanks... I will check out your video!

[@ThaliaLeeAmador]

How long in minutes would you say the tubing run is? - I’ve lived near Ichetucknee for the past 10 years and have always enjoyed the lazy river.. but I’m just discovering that there’s more than just Ichetucknee! lol I wanna check this place out !

[@CampTravelExplore]

I would say its only about a 30 minute run, which is why its so fun to get out and keep doing it!!

[@karenlewkowitz5858]

Great filming! What camera and accessories to you use for the underwater filming?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You so much! We upgraded to the GoPro 7 about four months ago and it has made a big difference in our under water shots as well as our kayaking shots! There is a link to it in our Amazon store in the description of the video if you want to check it out!

[@karenlewkowitz5858]

Thanks!

[@josea5949]

So no gators to worry about?

[@CampTravelExplore]

Na, the gators are further up the river where its warmer. You just don't see them near the spring head!

[@lyndakearns5583]

Gators. Looks so beautiful. I would still be scared.

[@daphnekuzminsky3850]

I just found your page! We live 15 minutes from Rock Springs. I’ve always been afraid to do this because of alligators. Do you know if they remove the alligators from the area? It looks gorgeous

[@CampTravelExplore]

No gators will bother you there, too many people, they stay up river where it is warmer anyway! You have to try it, its one of our favs in all of Florida!

[@labellabeach631]

Snakes 🐍?

[@ghostlyy3161]

Is it deep enough to be able to swim?

[@CampTravelExplore]

It is, some parts are just two feet but most of it was in the 3 ft plus range!
