- Blue Spring State park just outside of Orlando, Florida is a pristine park with wonderful opportunities for swimming, kayaking, diving, and hiking. There are cabins to rent or a 50 site campground loop to enjoy. In colder months, the manatees huddle in the spring for visitors to enjoy. They have kayak rentals and boat tours as well. It’s a must do park in Central Florida!

miss it sooo much. too many of my birthdays celebrated here because I was in love with this place.
such a great spring!!
I've camped here several times and love it. Also, there is a paved bicycle trail that goes for several miles near the campground, so be sure to bring your bikes!
TY for your insights!
Beautiful! Central FL is still my favorite place! All the springs are just incredible.
Lots of kayak opportunities at this park too! We just missed the manatees because it started warming too quickly this year :(
I would love to drink my coffe in one of those cabins. Relaxing video thank you
Blue Spring is really cool to see in December when all the manatees come in to huddle in the cold! Thanks for watching and we appreciate you commenting!!
Thank you so much for creating this!! Booked my site today. So excited to see this part of my home state of FL.
That's so great! You will love Blue Spring! TY for your kind feedback as well!
Another great job, folks! Enjoyed seeing the head springs, and that site 19 looked wonderfully secluded.
Yes a great park! In December or in cold months, a big attraction is to go see the manatees that huddle at the head spring!
I just booked Site #38 in October and loved your drive through the camping loop. Definitely looks like very private sites. I truly appreciated watching this to give me an advance tour of what I'll be seeing at Blue Springs. THANK YOU!!
That is awesome!
Absolutely breathtaking so beautiful and so serene 💞
Thank You so much!! appreciate you checking it out!!
Can’t wait to camp here! Tx for sharing!
You will love it, TY for watching!
So glad you showed #19, that’s what I reserved

Very nice!! This is a park we’ve been wanting to camp at. Looks really beautiful. Thanks for sharing!!
You will love it! Site 19 was really nice and close to the walk path down to the spring. Great kayaking there as well. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thank you for talking about Site 19 ：）
glad it helped
Great video! Just what we all need to see!
Ris Cowan Thanks so much! We add content regularly so stay tuned 😀
Good job! Thx!
TY so much!
Good stuff
Thank You!
SORRY 4 CAPS, I LIKE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN TO US WHERE YOU ARE AT THE PARK AND WHERE YOU ARE HEADED TOO. IM DISABLED AND THAT INFO REALLY HELPS THANKS I SAW A SIGN OF NO SWIMMING, IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE MANATEES OR COLD WEATHER. THANKS AGAIN
There are definitely times of the year for no swimming in the winter months as the manatees come in and huddle in the cold weather. Thanks for checking it out for us!!
Thank you
So glad you enjoyed it!
I wanna go!
Its a good time of the year there as the cold brings the manatees in and they huddle at the springs!
These videos make me want to leave Southern California and move to Florida.
You need to come and check them out!
love the video very informative, my question is whats the best area for kids swimming thats not deep?
They have a designated swim area there that is roped off for swimming, not sure exactly how deep it is there, parts were definitely 4 feet but it had some shallow areas too.
A great park. Beware the raccoons, though. Bold and bothersome.

What time of year did you visit? Was the swimming area closed and what about the alligators?
As always, I love your videos!
Thank You for your kind feedback, I was there in Jan and the swimming area is closed then because of the manatees. My experience with gators is that they stay up in the river where it is warmer. I have filmed 15 springs now, and have never ran into one by the spring-head or swimming areas!
@@CampTravelExplore is the swimming area open during summer times like now?
@@CampTravelExplore please respond I’m from Florida and am looking for a good spring to go to todat
How dangerous is it to swim there? I am from the UK but my American friend wants to take me to swim there but I'm nervous because of the aligators
The gators tend to stay away from the main spring area and stay up river where its warmer! You will be fine, go enjoy these springs!
@@CampTravelExplore Thank you :)
How long does it take to walk to the spring from site 18 and 19?
I would say 10 minutes maybe
How far are the cabins from the swimming area
The cabins are farther than the campground from the swimming area as I recall, but just a 5-10 minute walk.
i liked it but the site you showed what number was it and where is Blue Springs
I believe it was site 18 and this Blue Spring SP is 30 minutes east of Orlando near the Deltona area.
How many people will a campsite hold? Can 2 families be in same cabin? How are the ticks?
I think yes on the cabins as they are usually two bedrooms. The ticks I haven't had too much insight on for you and usually campsites are limited to 6 people. These policies can change especially in the times we are in, I would call the ranger station to be sure.
Doea anyone know how long on a kayak ride it is before you reach the st johns if you where to lunch at the blue springs kayak launch?
I dont but I hope you will check out our New Top 10 Springs episode here..th-cam.com/video/xenBkPpv87Q/w-d-xo.html
Are there any waterfront sites?
There are no waterfront sites there.
@@CampTravelExplore I just booked
This video was very helpfull. I have reservations there on Oct 20, 2019 . Im hopping that it's cold enough to see the manatees. What do you think ?
Camped there earlier this week and saw one adolescent manatee at the spring, so you might get lucky if the weather turns cooler.

What is the entrance fee ?
Like 7.00 ish per car
Is this the spring by Ginnie springs in high springs fl ?
No the one your are referring to in High Springs, Fl. is Gilchrist Blue Springs State park. This one, Blue Spring State Park is between Orlando and Daytona if that helps!
Are you allowed to scuba dive with the baby manatees if you know anything about that
Hope you will check out our Brand New "Top 10 Springs" episode here..th-cam.com/video/xenBkPpv87Q/w-d-xo.html
My understanding is that you can't swim or scuba dive in the winter when the manatees are there. That might be old info. Years ago we went swimming in the spring and the manatees surrounded us. They are so friendly. Sometime after that they limited the swimming and diving.
It’s good park walk with wheelchair people??
There is a boardwalk the whole way so it wouldn't be bad for wheelchairs at all I would say!
What about gators. Are there not any there.
My experience with the springs is, they are too cold for the gators and the gators tend to stay up river. Ive never seen one at the spring head anywhere.
ive never seen one there but that dont mean there aint none
