Bring your mountain bikes, canoes, kayaks and fishing gear. We have it all here at Seminole Springs. We are open for tent camping. Limited number of campsites with Tents on them in a variety of sizes available. First come, First serve. These sites will have a slight upcharge. When you book, if you want to upgrade and reserve one of these sites, let us know and we will accommodate you. We also have 3 units inside the lodge for the people who need just a step up from glamping, but not quite the whole hotel experience. These are beautiful comfortable rooms with half baths in the rooms. The showers are located in the lodge bathhouse. WE have the Jungle themed room, the Equestrian themed room and the Honeymoon Suite. Each unit comes equipped with its own hot tub. (To book any of these units, just send us a message and we will reserve it for you. The prices for these units are different than that campsite and glamping site prices.) The Grist Mill is also available for rent too! This is a very romantic, yet rustic getaway equipped with a half bath as well. Very secluded and private overlooking the spring on one side and the water fall on the other. Sit outside on the deck and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature and at night the sound of the waterfall will lull you to sleep. The shower is located in the Lodge bathhouse. (To book this unit you must send a message to us and we will reserve it for you. The price is different than the campsites but we will go over that with you) WE ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR YOUR EVENT: TAKING BOOKINGS FOR WEDDINGS, CAR SHOWS, MUSIC EVENTS, ETC. LET US KNOW! NOTE: TURN AT CAMP SEMINOLE SPRINGS SIGN ON HIGHWAY 21. Your GPS may tell you to turn at the wrong St. Make sure that you are turning at 244th...Your GPS may tell you to turn at 243rd Street (where the Orange Market it) which is a dead end street. Just go a little bit further until you see the sign for Camp Seminole Spring. Bring bug spray and sun screen. If you need something, don't worry! There is a Dollar General, a gas station and a small cafe within walking distance. We have 38 acres of camping sites nature trails for hiking and mountain biking. Guests can park right on their site, or they have the option of parking and hiking into the woods to set up their site a bit more remote and off the beaten path. This is rustic camping. We have a bathhouse located at the campsites with showers. The bathhouse at the Great Lodge will be ready by Fall 2022. Whereas we do have garbage cans, we prefer that anything you bring into the property, you bring out with you. We allow campfires. Don't be surprised if you see a monkey or two in the trees... The fishing is amazing in these parts, so if you are an angler, come and visit. We have .75 miles of frontage on the Orange Creek. The creek flows into Lake Ocklawaha which just so happens to be one of the best bass fishing lakes in the USA. In fact, ten-pound bass are not uncommon from the Lake Ocklawaha River in the winter. Recently (2020), a 17.2-pound bass was caught there. The combined Ocklawaha and St. Johns drainage basin is possibly the most significant river-estuary waterway of Florida. This water system is of legendary reputation among anglers of largemouth bass who seek 10 pound plus trophy fish. Conveniently located between Ocala and Gainesville in the heart of Orange Springs, Florida, Camp Seminole Spring is perfectly located for the traveler who wants to really connect with nature. It appears to be ‘off the beaten path’, yet it is close enough to civilization so that even the most seasoned camper can make a quick run to store should he or she need something not found in nature. Camp Seminole Spring is mid-way (approx.. 22 miles) between Ocala and Gainesville, Florida, which are two thriving cities in this area of Florida. Ocala, the ‘horse capital of the world’ showcases a brand new multi-billion-dollar equestrian center which draws people from all over the world. This scenic property has an artesian spring which pushes out 1.6 million gallons of water per day rated among the top three percent of water in the world with an 8.4 natural pH. This water fills the pond and then continues on to flow into Orange Creek. Camp Seminole Springs was established in the 1940’s as a honeymoon resort and campground. The founders built a heart-shaped ‘pond-spring’ which is filled with the crystal-clear water pushed out from the spring where guests can lounge by the beach or gaze down into the bottom through the glass-like water or take a refreshing swim. At the top of the hill overlooking the heart-shaped spring, one will find the rustic Great Lodge where guests can come and mingle with each other, enjoy a relaxing conversation and a drink on the veranda or just sit and watch the activity in and around the spring.

Camp Seminole Springs

When arriving, the lodge was closed & locked, we weren’t able to get ahold of the owner because he was on vacation, we left and came back around 1 and thankfully were granted early check in from fill in staff. We set up our tent close to the restroom, then the fill in worker came & told us do not use that restroom it’s out of order & we needed to go to the lodge-that’s about a quarter mile walk. Also hot water only worked in one shower. They did not have firewood anywhere for sale- we had to drive to the next town which was about 45 minutes. We used bug/tick spray but were covered in ticks when we left, our dog getting the worst of it (we’ve found 8 so far). Next time we’ll be getting a hotel at the beach🥲

Camp Seminole Springs

I loved camping on Perry’s land. It was beautiful, spacious and peaceful. There was plenty of people camping and there was enough room that you are not camping on top of each other.

So Gross

Spring Glamping Tent w/power

The spring is a green algae pool with pumps. The campground is trashy with abandoned military vehicles everywhere. We were honestly worried that we would end up on an episode of date line. I checked all the guide lines on Hip Camp App before our stay and seen nothing about not having a grill to cook with and we were very aggressively approached by the camp host who said they were not allowed. Make sure you look at all the details because it says there are showers available but only cold water. The bathroom & shower were disgusting! Perry the camp host was so rude so us, not sure we will camp at another Hip Camp.

Peaceful Glamping with Spring Views

Spring View Glamping tent w

My stay in the glamping tent was absolutely wonderful, with a breathtaking view of the fresh spring just steps away. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing for complete relaxation. I loved that it was pet-friendly, so my furry companion could enjoy the serene surroundings with the family. From the cozy setup to the soothing sounds of nature, it was an unforgettable experience—I can’t wait to return!
