Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground

beautiful park and spring! definitely check out the canoes!!

My wife loves canoeing!! She claims you can see places you are not able to see while touching your feet on the ground. I think she was talking about Wekiwa Springs State Park.

Adventure, beauty, peace and harmony are hugging nature in this place. Absolutely gorgeous experience!

The only negative was the long lines we had to wait to get there!
Heard from other visitors that one must go there very early in order to avoid it!

Great park for kayaking, hiking, and camping! I have been there several times and have never been disappointed.

We had a mid week stay Monday to Wednesday. We saw quite a few deer and other wildlife while hiking trails and driving from the camp area to the spring. We stayed at the lower number loop which has sewer hook ups. Our spot was very shady. A little tight getting out 38’ fifth wheel into and we took note of which spots we may like better when we return again. Facilities were very clean and well kept.

The park is located just off of a busy thoroughfare, which leads to a lot of road noise. The sites are fairly big and shaded, however there is not really any privacy between sites. The combination of road noise and lack of privacy are the reasons that I probably will not be back. The trails are well maintained and the bathrooms were very clean. The spring is pretty and there's a nice little boardwalk nearby.

We are Florida residents and have camped at several Florida State Parks and always enjoy the experience for the most part.

Campground was well shaded which in Florida heat can make a huge difference. Camp sites are close together but there is reasonable privacy provided by vegetation

The spring area for swimming is nice

Here is what will keep us from ever coming back.

Even though the park is very large, the campground is located close to the park border. Traffic noise is pretty much constant throughout the day. We have listened to extremely loud drag racing on the city street outside the park at 4 am for 2 nights in a row which lasted about 45 minutes.

Overall is a nice park in a heavily populated area but for our tastes there are much better options in the Florida State Parks

I can't give a full review of this park because we "suffered" it during a torrential downpour for two days.

That said, I only have good things to say about what we did experience, namely our campsite.

Very large lots, even bigger than most Florida State Parks. We could see our neighbors to the left but there was tons of woods between us and everyone else. At one point, while the family was out grocery shopping, a knock came at my little aluminum door. I opened it to find a ranger.

"If a tornado comes through, run to the bathroom." I agreed with him, but wondered how I'd fit the Airstream through those little doors.

Nice staff and beautiful surroundings, just bummed I didn't get more time to look around the park itself.

I also grabbed a shower while I was here in the bathrooms, and they were as clean as you might expect from a very insect-laden state. The only thing I found weird was that the way the shower was setup, no shower curtain, just a door, you could pretty easily see in and out of the shower stalls. On the other hand, no one was ever in the bathroom the entire time I was there...

We stayed here for 6 nights during the Christmas Holiday 2014 while visiting with family. The state park is surrounded by suburbia but other than being able to see some rooftops, it didn't intrude. The camping loops are set back into the park, down a long road and away from the day use areas. The entrance to the park is gated and requires a code to enter after hours. Grocery stores and shopping are only minutes outside of the gate. Disney and other Orlando tourist sites were about an hour or so away.

Site 21 was 65 feet long, along the outside of the loop, and plenty wide for our Airstream and TV. There was a picnic table and fire ring, 30amp power, water, and sewer. The ground was mixed sand and shells (?). Watch out for the ants! It did not take long for them to climb up a cooler we had sitting next to our rig and start hunting for a way to get in. Dumpsters were located at the entrance to the loop. The rangers and camp hosts were friendly and monitored the loops frequently. One evening a group of 12 or so young people were having a party at the campsite next to us but by 10pm they were gone, so we assumed the Rangers had asked them to leave.

We didn't get a chance to check out the Springs (available for swimming year round) or any of the walking trails due to a combination of a leaking water heater, rainy weather, and family obligations. We also did not use the bath house or other amenities.

The camp was clean and facilities excellent. The hookups were better than what I have seen at RV resorts. You were removed from neighbors and nestled between the trees. I will definitely camp here again.
