Ginnie Springs Outdoors
Ginnie Springs Outdoors is a campground and hotel facility in Gilchrist County with seven natural springs that maintain clear, cool water year-round. The site spans wooded land with tent camping spots right by the water and RV sites with full hookups.
The springs were formed over many years by water from underground sources and are part of Florida's natural landscape. They became known long ago as a destination where visitors came for the clear water and wilderness.
The name Ginnie Springs comes from the natural spring source and its crystal-clear flow. Visitors experience a blend of camping culture and water sports community, where people gather to swim, dive, and relax together.
Visitors should arrive early to secure a good spot, especially on weekends, and it is helpful to plan ahead. The site is accessible for different types of visitors, with rules such as no pets and alcohol only in designated areas.
The site is known for its extremely clear underwater visibility, which famous explorer Jacques Cousteau once described with the word forever. It is popular with cave divers because you can see far into the depths below the surface.
