About
Blue Spring State Park Campground sits in the sand pine scrub of Volusia County, offering 51 sites that accommodate RVs up to 40 feet. Each site includes water and 30-amp electric hookups, a picnic table, grill, and fire ring. Two modern bathhouses provide flush toilets, hot showers, and laundry facilities, with full ADA accessibility. A dump station serves RV campers, and a camp store stocks essentials. The campground's location puts you within walking distance of Blue Spring, a first-magnitude spring that discharges over 100 million gallons of 72-degree water daily into the St. Johns River. From mid-November through March, swimming is prohibited as the spring run becomes a critical warm-water refuge for West Indian manatees. Outside manatee season (April 1 through November 14), the spring is open for swimming, snorkeling, and paddling. Six two-bedroom cabins are also available nearby in a shady oak hammock. The park features a boat ramp, kayak rentals, playground, and hiking trails including the 4.5-mile Pine Island Trail. Due to the park's popularity, it frequently reaches capacity and may close temporarily during peak times.
