Overview
A brief introduction to Silver Springs State Park
Silver Springs State Park, formerly known as Silver River State Park, is a Florida state park located on the Silver River in Marion County. The park contains Silver Springs, Florida's first tourist attraction.
The Silver Springs attraction dates to the 1870s. In 1985, the state purchased the land surrounding Silver Springs to spare it from development, creating the Silver River State Park. In 1993, the state acquired Silver Springs, as well, though it continued to be operated privately. In 2013, the state took over control of Silver Springs, merging it with the adjacent parkland to create Silver Springs State Park.

Reviews
Camper reviews for Silver Springs State Park
Large, Clean Sites- Great Kayaking
The sites are large and clean. Most are fairly private and separated from the neighboring sites. Large park with a number of trails. The springs and kayaking are great- you have to drive around to the other park entrance to launch. Beautiful water and lots of animals.

Great park and spring fed river
Big sites, some with sewer, all have water and electric, good shade, drive trough and back in, buddy sites. Walk to spring is about one mile. Great boating. Gators, birds. Big rigs OK. Look up their website:
