Incredibly lucky to say I grew up in the Ocala National Forest, surrounded by amazing swimming holes. I love Juniper and Salt Springs.

Planning on a trip up to Salt Springs in April I believe! Thanks for checking it out for us!!

[@raulsanchez4493]

Beautiful video. The people who gave a thumbs down must not appreciate natural beauty

I know it, thats what I'm thinking too! Thank You for the kind feedback!!

[@catospanky]

Juniper Springs, also in the Ocala National Forest, is another excellent spring.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thanks David, I agree. We have an episode from there as well! TY for your feedback!!

[@consueloloftis5342]

Going there in July!!!!

[@Mojosfire]

Yep, I was going to mention Juniper Springs. I enjoyed that one. I like Wekiva too, but these springs are better during the week, as the weekend sucks with it being overcrowded.

[@cookietojeiro7507]

Please add a clip of beautiful waterhole and great canoeing at Juniper Springs in Ocala and also Silver Springs.

[@stevethomas760]

As a paddle boarder I'm a big fan of Florida's Springs. For paddlers I would like to add Silver Springs, 5 mile run with good oportunities for wildlife , Manatees and maybe Monkeys. Juniper Springs is a 7 mile run. Small swimming area that feeds a big creek that twists through a incredible setting. If you paddle board Juniper it has to be a hard board, no inflatables. Also use short fins or no fin. There are sticks/roots just under the surface in some areas. Thanks for the great video. You've added some to my "things to do" list.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Love Silver Springs, just kayaked the 5 mile run yesterday although we didn't see the monkeys this time lol, thanks for your insights!

[@stevethomas760]

Having lived in Fla for 30 years I've been to a lot of these....heading to Rainbow River tomorrow. However, you've turned me on to some new ones that are now on my bucket list

[@CampTravelExplore]

That is so great that it was helpful! We have been hitting the springs on weekdays and it has made a big difference in enjoying them, just wanted to share that in case it helps you!!

[@coopscorner123]

Silver Springs is real, real nice, as well as the most mentioned when I visit Rainbow Springs, a local state park. Glad to see it was close to the top of your list. It is a terrific place to spend a day, or a weekend at the camp grounds in the park.

[@CampTravelExplore]

We loved Silver Springs and literally just kayaked there last weekend, look for that video from us in coming weeks! Glad you enjoyed our episode!!

[@chelleashley2521]

Juniper Springs has been my favorite for over thirty years! Beautiful campgrounds, fantastic canoe run and scenery, family friendly swimming hole/spring, snack bar/hot food in the pool area. Lots of wildlife along the canoe/kayak run.

[@CampTravelExplore]

We hope to go back to Juniper and do the kayak run there!!

[@exspiravit6920]

I live in South GA and we go to Ginnie like every 2-3 years since I was a teen (I'm 38 now!!)

[@shawnhampshirehick101]

Me too! I love the spring. I live in Eureka & get to go to all 3 springs

[@jennifertiitinen9006]

Shhh! Keep it a secret. Our springs get too over crowded

[@mar4oz]

How are the horse flies there? Years ago when I was cave diving throughout the states springs, I remember Juniper for these relentless, large black biting flies. 😂 It didn’t stop me from going there several times (had to after diving at Alexander), thanks!

[@elric_l9852]

The Rainbow River (flowing out of #2 Rainbow Springs) is a great place to kayak if you want to see Florida wildlife in an alligator-free river. An early morning trip at sunrise offers the opportunity to see and paddle along with a family of otters - I don't know of any other place in Florida with otters. You'll also see a wide assortment of birds, from ducks and egrets to osprey. As the day warms, every log sticking out of the water is almost guaranteed to have turtles relaxing in the sunshine. Amazing place.

[@ffii7773]

Lot's of otters in the Ichetucknee, and also gators in the Rainbow River so i'm not sure why you think that it is "gator free"...

[@SNJ1975]

Wakulla is one of my ultimate favorite Springs with Edwards Ball Lodge, a third magnitude Spring complete with a high dive. i can't wait to check out a few on this list. Happy to say I've been to a few on the top 10 and Ginnie Springs use to be my favorite. i have floated down the st.johns river a few times. Lithia Springs was a local spring I would go to so I could cool off during the summer months I would go during the week when it was empty. One of my favorite things was swimming in place at the head of the spring. Ichetucknee Springs is pretty incredible too. Your guaranteed to see a Manatee. We must preserve these beautiful sea cows and by doing so were creating a cohesive environment.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Great insights! Wakulla is on our list to do :)

Troy spring is very cool and even features a Civil War shipwreck. I dove Weeki Wache back in 2007 and 2008. They let you in between performances. A really neat place in general.

Great Feedback! Thank You so much!

[@CampTravelExplore]

The kayaking at Silver Springs is tremendous, totally agree!

[@captainerikaritter]

It’s a hard job to decide on just 10! But for my fav it is Salt Springs! Also in Ocala National Forest. The minerals in the water set this as one of the fountain of youths. Many people came here through the years just to drink the water.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thanks for checking it out and welcome to our channel!!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Lived in Florida my whole life but we visited mostly Central Florida and the keys. Awesome to learn about more springs. Wekiva is awesome. The island is a bit crazy. Love the Manatee Festival at Blue Spring. Alexander is amazing. Love the Ocala National Forest. Kelly Park does not allow dogs. That’s why we went to Magnolia- no spring. Rock is another great one. Glad to add some to my list. Manatee spring you can scuba. Salt Springs is a huge swim area. DeLeon Springs with its make your own pancakes at Sugar Mill Restaurant is awesome. Great job. Alice

[@CampTravelExplore]

[@spongyman27]

You should put Hart Springs, Little River Springs, and Fanning Springs

[@CampTravelExplore]

I will absolutely put them on our list, thanks for the feedback!!!!

[@michelleclemons2084]

Hart springs is the best

[@expeditionadventure318]

Man, we went to the Yucatan peninsula and swam in the cenotes there only to later find out that people dump their waste and unprocessed sewage directly into the underground waterways. I wish I had known about the Florida springs, we could have just stayed here in the U.S. and visited these instead!

[@nicks1451]

I live a few minutes from Rock Springs and I love it. Just remember to be there before 9am on the weekends because they reach capacity very quickly aftward.

Used to snorkel Ginnie and some of the others back in the '60's before Ginnie was much of a public attraction. Thanks very much for the video...I'm a long way from Florida, and these videos take me back most enjoyably.

[@CampTravelExplore]

So glad you could live some of those memories watching! You got to experience them with little to no crowds I bet!

[@georgeclausen2408]

@@CampTravelExplore Oh, yes, no one there. Yet, oddly enough, when the owner decided to start turning it into a park, there was significant improvement. He started charging 25 cents per person, and put in some of the wooden decks like the one at Ginnie. People stopped rutting the place up with pickups and 4 wheelers and leaving beer cans lying around when they had to come up with 25 cents to enter the area. Thanks again for the video!

[@CampTravelExplore]

So cool that you have had that experience like that!

[@BryanJohnson1969]

I'm not sure if there's a campground there but Three sisters springs is absolutely amazing in the winter. It is the only place to legally swim with manatees in Florida. I am one of those bah humbug I don't want to do that type people and I was talked into it and I'm telling you it was freaking amazing. The manatees will come right up to you.

[@Bradystockard]

Love silver springs in Ocala Bc it was Florida’s first tourist attraction and riding the glass bottom boats are always a good time. Oh and don’t forget about the monkeys around the park. Silver springs has also been a filming location for dozens of films, including scenes from the original James Bond films

[@CampTravelExplore]

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thank You guys for watching and commenting! Safe travel out there on the road!!

[@ChesuMori]

I'd say the most notable part of Silver Glen is the fish. You have to basically be the first people there right when it opens, but if you do, you can see massive ribbons made up of hundreds of fish just milling about.

[@CampTravelExplore]

This is a great Pro tip, Thank You! Appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@foodisgood2621]

I must say, one springs that you did forget was the Little River Springs! It’s so pretty and I recommend people to go visit!

[@CampTravelExplore]

I will put that one on our list!!

[@Spongepodsquarecast]

Ginnie springs while beautiful is in reality a lot less fun than any other spring on the list because it’s always SO crowded.. like can’t even park, super loud, and the people who go and party there leave so much garbage. I have never been on a weekday but maybe that’s the time to go 🤷‍♀️

[@CampTravelExplore]

I hear ya on that front, we have filmed 15 different springs now and we go on weekdays it is incredible how sometimes there was almost no one around! I think that is the way to visit them if you can. Now in the summer it may be busy all the time, but certainly its worth trying in these next couple of months. Thanks for checking it out and leaving us feedback!!

[@splitraven7060]

I agree. Ginnie Springs is a bit too crazy. Plus people speed.

[@danikagilg4690]

Ginnie springs was the biggest two and a half hour drive, disappointment I've ever had, period. It was so packed this past weekend when we went I literally couldn't get out of the water quick enough because it was so packed, I felt like I was just floating in human piss & sweaty gross body gunk. They were sold out of paddle boards so I was forced to settle for tube rentals (even though we were told to wait a half HR for tubes & the paddle boards were actually available, we found out after the fact). When we finally got down the the actual Ginnie springs hole, it too was packed & pretty much unenjoyable aside from footage I got deeper in the spring & of the caves. All in all a 5 hr drive for a miserable 2 hr experience that cost us $65 10/10 would never recommend (their entry fee is also outrageous at $20/ person)...

[@Officialfmmgamer]

We wasted a two hour drive too… horribly packed. Then, when we asked one of the employees if there were any other springs in the area.. she said no, they were the only ones… that was a lie. Do not recommend it!

Breaks my heart that they took out the diving/jumping platform at Gilchrist Blue Spring. I visited a few years back, and the diving platform was already gone. I don't know if it was before or after it became a state park, but it was a bummer. I went there specifically because of the platform. I know why things like this aren't more common, but I sure like the idea.

I love that one too-- I have been twice and did the glass bottom boat tours first and then the kayak rental. Was just there two weeks ago and kayaked alongside manatees and gators with a respectful distance.

@@CampTravelExplore I definitely will check those out. Good to know! I will definitely take that into consideration. I work Fri-Sun for that reason. Love having things to myself haha and social distancing has made it even better!

I think you have missed Crystal Springs. I visited here in 2010 and stayed with Friends living near the shore of Que Lake near Melrose, Florida. A wonderful experience and a great memory..

[@CampTravelExplore]

Is this the one where you can swim with the manatees?

[@injection6930]

I went to a few springs last year, I liked Poe. Surprised it isn't on here. I'm going back this year to check out silver springs and ichituknee

[@CampTravelExplore]

We never did Poe, will have to check it out

[@ruabadkitty]

I'm 62 years old and went to Florida like 20 times, and never knew these springs existed until last year. Always went to Orlando, South Florida coast, Key west. Never saw one spring.

[@CampTravelExplore]

You have to get out there and see them, its the real Florida!!

[@nitebyfly7325]

Manatee Springs in Chiefland, Fl - great camping area - the run goes into the Suwannee River

[@CampTravelExplore]

Manatee is on our list to hit soon! Thank You for checking out our video!!

[@Matt-hh5ul]

Great list, can’t wait to see devils den!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Yes Devils Den is a must! Thanks for your comment!

I have a natural spring on my property in Hudson Florida that goes down 250ft deep and opens to the size of Raymond James stadium and it connects to Weeki Wachee i go swimming in it very often in the summer always a perfect 76 degrees all year round.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Nice!!

[@patriciapuchelt6714]

You left a few of the best springs that florida has to offer! 🌝

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thanks Patricia, just curious, which one do you think we left off of the Top 10 and who would you take off this list to replace them? Thank You for commenting!

[@RUACHFRUIT]

I like rainbow springs too 1 of many childhood fav

[@CampTravelExplore]

Love Rainbow too, so beautiful there and some of the best kayaking in the state!! TY for watching and commenting!

[@Sleeperdude]

Great information

[@CampTravelExplore]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@TheKlaus1951]

Fanning Springs is also a must

[@CampTravelExplore]

Thats one we will check out!!

[@largohoss]

You may not have been to Wassisa springs because I would have put it with Ichetucknee at the top three along with Fanning Springs but saw why you put Ginnie and Gilchrist in there also great springs with plenty of activities , Blue Springs is indeed with Manattee springs a two. for manatee spotting best destinaations, also might add Rainbow and Silver springs are second or third for kayaking to Ichetucknee springs.

[@CampTravelExplore]

Loved Ichetucknee and if they had as campground they would have been higher on the list! Silver Glen is my personal fav for swimming! Kelly is my fave to camp at! Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it!!

[@gregkiser6347]

Very nice video!!! I want to see all of them!

[@CampTravelExplore]

Do it! We go on Mondays and Tuesdays when we hit the springs and they are so less crowded! Hope you check them out!!

[@christopherlarson7743]

Green cove springs has a tiny spring that feeds into a swimming pool at the park always cold and it flows into the st.johns river

[@CampTravelExplore]

Great hidden tip! Thanks for checking it out!!

[@Angiecornx]

Amazing...i’ll probably visit since its just near me

[@CampTravelExplore]

Hope you get out and enjoy them!!

[@hollygreene4239]

These are all beautiful. But I wish there was one that would include good camping at the best springs.

[@CampTravelExplore]

That sound like a great video for us, so you think an episode called, "Best Springs for camping" would be good if I understand you correctly?

[@jensalmons5374]

U should try genie spring it has camping site.

[@68dart]

Awesome , Thanks C.T.E.

[@CampTravelExplore]
