The six month maximum stay at Salt Springs makes this a favorite stop for "snowbirds" from the north. As a former private campground it was built to accommodate as many sites as possible, which makes most sites close together with little plant life screening you from your neighbor. The tent only area is located under an oak canopy. Salt Springs Run is a walk away from the camping area. A small shopping center across from the campground includes a laundromat, mini market, post office and visitors center.
