Florida Camping Advise?
… I want to go camping when I go on vacation in July … I live in central Florida, and I found a place called Alexander Springs on the internet … I've never heard of it, and I don't know anyone who's been there … I saw these 2 pages :

… and it really looks like fun … has anyone been there? … please advise me on this place …
You picked a wonderful area to camp. If you don't like Alexander Springs, Salt Springs, on Highway 19 is a very good campground.
You could travel over to Juniper Springs that has a better canoe runthan all the campgrounds uo there. This is towards Ocala, on Highway 40. While up there, travel to Forest Corners for some of the best Bar B Cue you have ever had at Rogers BBQ.
Traveling farther West on 40, turn left at highway 35, Silver Springs, for one of the best state parks in Florida, Silver River State Park. They put a lot of money into canoes, I'm not sure they still have them.
You'll have fun in the forest no matter where you go.
Good luck
