KYLEE'S CONCESSION

A great family time, felt very same and clean

What a great little park. Make sure to get there early and rent tubs before you arrive!

I’ve been here a few times with my family, we always have a great time. The spring itself is beautiful and cool, the “lazy river” is great, there’s hiking trails and a basic concession stand. A few things you may want to note before going, the springs open at 8, I got there at 8:05 on a Monday and the line was probably half a mile long already. It’s pretty busy no matter the day of week in the summer. You can bring your own tubes. Only half of the bathrooms are open in the morning unless it’s a busy day. And some of the doors in the ladies bathroom don’t close the whole way which is obviously a bit dangerous. There’s lots of rocks, I’d bring water shoes. If lightning is within ten miles (I believe) everyone has to be out of the springs for 45 mins. Take your own food but do not leave trash. Be mindful of other people. DO NOT TOUCH THE WILDLIFE! There are turtles, otters, fish, alligators, lizards etc everywhere that have this spring as their home, the amount of people I saw putting baby turtles in buckets and just leaving them on the side of the spring was honestly sad. Their lifeguards are great, while they’re young, every one I spoke to was helpful and cared about the safety of not only the people but the animals as well. With this being said, if you tell a lifeguard that someone put an animal in a bucket and tell them who, they will take the bucket take it to an area with less/no people.

Real Florida adventure. Dont bring large tubes, swim or use a noodle.

Excellent, get there early. The Park fills up fast

Absolutely beautiful little spot

If you don’t come around 5:00 am you won’t be able to get in there is no way to know the capacity or if you are gonna be able to get in

The spring and park is beautiful, but the entrance system at Kelly Park Rock Springs is ridiculous. Arrived early and still had issues getting in because of their poorly organized and confusing entry process. There seems to be no efficient way to manage visitors, and many people waste time waiting or get turned away. A place this popular should have a much better reservation and admission system. Very disappointing experience due entirely to the management of the entrance process. Inside the park the signs are not very clear . For such a huge park, only 2 restrooms cabin were open for women. And location of restrooms are very inconvenient. Floating itself only 10-12 minutes.

The river run was amazing. Whatch out for rocks though.

We had a very disappointing experience at Kelly Park today. We arrived around 9:30 AM, and there were only three cars waiting to enter. The first two cars were allowed in, but when it was our son's turn, he was turned away even though he was with his wife, their two young children, and my daughter. We were already inside the park as one group, but the staff refused to let the rest of our family enter, claiming the park was full. They were forced to wait until 1:00 PM before being allowed in. It makes no sense that part of a family can enter while the rest is left outside for hours. The park needs a better system for handling groups and families. This experience ruined what was supposed to be a fun family day, and it was especially unfair to the young children who had to wait for hours.

My family and I had a great time at Kelly Park. It is an excellent destination for a family vacation, especially during the summer. The natural spring is beautiful, the water is crystal clear, and the lazy river tubing experience is fun for both kids and adults. One important thing to know is that the park fills up very quickly, especially on weekends, holidays, and during summer vacation. If you plan to visit, make sure you arrive early. I recommend being at the gate before 7:00 AM. We arrived early and had no problems getting in. However, if you arrive around 8:00 AM or later, there is a good chance the park will reach capacity. In that case, staff may give you a return pass or parking ticket and ask you to come back later, sometimes around 1:00 PM, when spaces become available. To avoid disappointment and make the most of your day, arrive before 7:00 AM, bring your tubes, sunscreen, snacks, and be prepared for a full day of fun. Overall, Kelly Park is a beautiful place for swimming, tubing, picnicking, and enjoying nature with family and friends. I highly recommend visiting, but getting there early is the key to a great experience.

We had a lot of fun. The rocks at the beginning of the springs are no joke though! Shin killers! Not too crowded. Great place for little ones

Staff is Amazing. Reservations are required to gain access to the door entry otherwise you have to turn around and go out. The area is beautiful. The water is cristal clear. There are lots of trails. There are lots of turtles. Saw a gorgeous raccoon. The office staff was very helpful. As a disabled American i value assistance. The camp grounds have signs around warning about ticks gators snakes and bears altho I did not see any at the time of passing by. I did not stay over night and I was just there for an hour to see. Walking is hard for me and wheelchair was not easy to go reach all the areas. I loved visiting even if just an hour. I did have a reservation. I did notice there is a trail.between 13 and 14 camp sites to unite the camp site to the springs side. There are concessions. Camp site 25 has the camping host on staff on site at any given time for easy assistance. Accessible.parking is available. It would be nice to see more accessibility walkways and ramps all around to make it fully inclusive. I Lovee That it is not crowded. It is relaxing and they also rent big picnic gazebos for barbecues

I got to the park at 7 a.m. and the line to get in was already over a mile long but I figured i would go ahead and wait because I had not had a day off in a long time and I was so excited about going. I waited forty five minutes till I got the light to turn into the park when the police officer approached my car and told me that the park had already reached capacity and they weren't taking any new visitors they really should come up with a new way for park admission. I feel like you would have to get there at 6 AM or earlier to be able to get a place in LINE to get into the park. I tried Both saturday and sunday to join avail.

Wonderful. Beautiful park.

I wish I was able to take pictures but I didn't bring my waterproof phone case. It was a cute spot. Lots of picnic tables and lots of people hanging out with families. It's definitely family-friendly. I felt like it was a children's park it was that overrun with children. So for those of you with families I'm sure it's a great spot to connect and hang out together. We didn't see otters and the atmosphere around the spring which does have a flow to it, is definitely Florida jungle like. Not sure I'll probably be rushing back to this spot anytime soon but there was a lady there who said this was her favorite out of all of them in florida.

I have read some negative reviews on here about this park/spring and i didn’t believe them i thought they just had ONE unfortunate bad experience NOPE!!! My husband woke up with my son early was gonna get a ticket and come get us to go back an 18year old female at the gate WITH AN ATTITUDE said there wasn’t 5 people in the car my husband said he was gonna go get us and she said you cant do that you would have to stay. He left and that was that. No tickets being handed out, this park is run horribly, the people that work there are clueless and apparently if you don't have a camera on hand i.e an influencer talking about their park they wont let you in. Go save yourself the disappointment the hassle and visit a different spring. Unfortunately with all these people recording about the spring no one gets in. What if theres an emergency and a parent has to leave to get some kind of help outside of the park or band-aides or anything like that? You cant, they will not let you leave and come back you have to stay there even in the morning YOU CAN NOT GET A TICKET AND COME BACK. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT AND HONESTLY AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE WILL VISIT A DIFFERENT ONE. They will not take cards because there machines don't work all the time so cash only. REMEMBER PEOPLE CHEAPER PLACE = POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MORE CROWDS

Amzazin place to ne with kids and family i highly recommend

Me encanta me encanta 💖

Excelente lugar ..aun más para niños

My family goes camping every year, and this was by far the worst campground experience we’ve had. We paid to camp here, and the campground rules state that campers are allowed to park at the springs. My grandmother is handicapped and has a valid handicap placard. When we arrived, staff told us we couldn’t park at the springs because there was “no more parking available.” However, when I drove over to drop off my grandmother, I found an open parking spot. Instead of allowing us to use the available space, the park sent an officer to follow me and tell me I couldn’t park there because they were saving spots for the 1 PM visitors who hadn’t even arrived yet. Apparently, paying campers are less of a priority than future day guests. What makes this even more frustrating is that they expected us to park back at the campground and walk nearly a mile. How is that reasonable for someone with a disability? Was I supposed to walk my grandmother all the way back, return for the car, and then repeat the trip? The lack of consideration for campers, especially those with accessibility needs, was disappointing. We have camped at many places over the years and have never experienced anything like this. M
