We visited Blue Springs for a family day trip and had a great time. The water was beautiful, and it made for a fun and relaxing outing for everyone. I’m giving it 5 stars overall because the experience itself was wonderful, but the restroom facilities could definitely use improvement. During our visit, there was no toilet paper, the floors had dirty puddles with dead bugs, and there were hornet nests in multiple stalls. That made it pretty uncomfortable to use. We would absolutely come back again, but next time we’ll be sure to bring our own paper towels and toilet paper just in case.

Blue Springs State Park in Clio, Alabama, is a wonderful place to spend the day with family and friends. The crystal-clear spring water is beautiful and incredibly refreshing, especially on a hot day. The park is clean, well maintained, and has plenty of space to relax, picnic, and camp with tent and lodging options. The staff was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. Whether you’re looking to swim, unwind, or just enjoy nature, Blue Springs is definitely worth a visit. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back!

Great state park for a day visit or camping/hiking. Enjoyed the longer of the 3 trails (loop system with shorter/longer trail options) and the cool spring. Had a few covered table spots, a few around the springs and some around the fishing spot. Bathrooms available too- not updated or very clean but not the worst for a state park.

WE LOVED THIS PARK! My husband and I are full time rvers and are staying in nearby Eufaula and wanted to find a spot to bring our dogs to play. They do not have a dog park but they have a little fishing pond my dogs loved! We played fetch and watched them swim after the balls it was so much fun! Best part was that we didn't have to pay for a day pass because my husband is a veteran! Saved us 5$ per person. The attendant Eli was super sweet and helpful and made us feel welcome! Will definitely be back, the most fun we've had since we've been in the area!

Our off season visit but still worth it! Came back 2 days in a row just for the peace and beauty. Lots of grills and picnic areas. Camping area was clean and easily accessible. There was also a volleyball area

They keep this park very clean for the amount of people using it. The cool water is great for hot summer days. This is an awesome place to bring young or older children, the young ones can play in the shallower water or in the creek run off and the older kids can swim in the deep end and explore the creek. There is also a connecting tunnel from the deep side to the shallow side that the kids love to play in and slide through. There is a volleyball court and a playground but I would say use them more in the morning or evening bc they tend to be hot in the summer. There are table for public use and barbecue grills. There is decent shade but it gets taken fairly quickly on a busy day. Happy swimming and thank you for having us.

Spring was amazing. Deep pool then shallow pool then creek. $5 state park but during government shutdown so a couple ladies trying hard to keep everything going. Don't listen to anyone about the BBQ across the street. Not good.

* Please read to the end * The park is absolutely gorgeous. The springs are pristine, the fishing pond is gorgeous, there's no litter anywhere. Terrific playground for kids. We felt very safe here. All of this is why I give 5 stars. The downside - ▪️ The bathrooms are pretty gross. Especially the one at the playground by the springs. *see the last picture. I would not let my kids go in there. It gave me the creeps & looked like a dank prison shower. If we used the restroom closer to the campgrounds, we took Clorox wipes to wipe the seats off with. The entire weekend we were there, the same trash was in the floors. It did not ever give the look of being cleaned in any way. ▪️ Pull through camper site #6 - prepare to jack your camper up big time to get level. Also prepare to be confused on where exactly you should pull through at because these sites are barely marked. There's no gravel or sand to make you think you should pull in a certain spot. It is grass only. To get level we actually had to pull in the 🔻do not enter 🔻direction & face our camper door towards the cabins instead of the woods. ▪️If we return here for recreation, I will likely look for a Hipcamp location to camp at & enjoy the springs as a "guest" not as a camper.

Such a friendly staff. No issues reserving a spot. Camping areas and amenities were nice. But the best part are the crystal clear showing pools.

Everything was amazing. I would recommend you make sure you like COLD water. I am from Minnesota and it was too cold for me even. Not much else to do besides trails and stuff which are incredible. Had one issue with our water spigot and I called and no one has called me back and theres no after hour lines from when it happened. The staff are friendly and everything is very clean and decent compared to other places I've seen.

The park is very nice. The springs were cool and the people there were friendly. I would visit again. It is a family friendly place and pets can visit

Spent 2 nights camping here mid week in May. We might have been the only campers...incredibly peaceful for most of the day, nothing but bird sounds and the occasional helicopter flying over. Taking a star away because the camp sites could use some work. Many don't look level as well as being short. Trail is really nice, but there are two small streams we had to cross (it rained the day before).

We recently spent the weekend here at the park and it was a great experience. We rented one of the cabins. The cabin was a 2/1 but the sofa had a pullout bed. We didn’t get to hike the trail because I left my walking shoes hung on mistake but we did go fishing and the fish were biting. It was so nice to hear all the birds chirping and the wood peckers. I found it very peaceful. Then we went swimming in the spring, the water was chilly but they make you aware of that so you’re prepared. My 10 month old hates the beach but he loved the spring and I was shocked. I almost forgot that the day of check in we were running late and a camp employee called to let us know that they’ll leave everything we need at the front gate which I really appreciated because we were rushing trying to get there before the park closed but when she called and said she’ll Jace everything we need, it was a load off. We will visit again!!

Very well kept, beautiful area. There's a small lake, and crystal clear springs feeding a creek

Absolutely wonderful. If you are looking for a quiet place to get away but don't really care to do anything but rest. This is the place. The natural spring swimming hole is cold but refreshing and that park is simple and quiet.
