Bring earplugs - other campers aren't considerate
Let me start with a positive. I enjoyed my days here. The springs are beautiful, there is a store at the front of the campsite that has a good number of camping and food items as well as hot coffee for sale. I was comfortable and even had fun during the day. However, at night there were groups of campers blaring music and screaming long past the very poorly reinforced quiet hours that don't even start until midnight. Our first night we got less than 3 hours of sleep because of the noise. When we complained about it, the manager at the time showed herself to be rather sexist - I'm a woman and complained to her and she defended the rangers who did not quiet down the other campers for more than a couple minutes, and would interrupt and deflect when I said anything. I was trying to be very polite but she did not make it easy. When my male friend spoke with her, she listened fully to him and told him she'd send someone out to speak with the other campers. It shouldn't take a man complaining about the same campers I did to get something done. The rangers who spoke with the campers came over to let us know that they had, and they were polite and jovial with us - obviously it helped because it wasn't long after midnight that they quieted down the following night. Outside of that, the staff I interacted with were friendly and nice, the shop was decorated for Halloween, which was delightful, the rental fees for the park and for the tubes to use in the springs were extremely reasonable. If I was confident that I wouldn't be spoken down to or kept up half the night by drunk college kids, I would consider going again!

Beautiful Spring
The water is cold but beautiful. I would probably not get a tube next time, they are very hard to navigate due to the water is still and not flowing. It is also very crowed. People hang around the steps to go into the water, so it is difficult to get in. They could use some staff members to monitor the grounds.
