We use to also go here yearly to stay. For years the map has not been marked incorrectly saying amenities that are not avaliable or even built are there. They price for rented towels and linen is ridiculous. Last time u stayed I had to go to office twice for the same broken glass that would have hospitalized someone if it was stepped on. I picked up the big pieces and just asked for the shards to be picked up. First time I was told there was none. Then I took a picture and went back after the way they responded. It's a beautiful place but the attitude and prices it is not what it should be or as advertised

Pretty pricey compared to a state park Very poorly marked spots, and no directions everywhere. If you are the type of camper who thinks a good night out consists of driving around on your golf cart all day and night, I guess it is a good place. We were there during October, and I know a big draw of the place is the scuba diving in the quarry. Maybe if we took advantage of that it would be more worth it! Nice enough people though. The beach was nice. Just needs to be marked better!

Trying not to make this a biased review based on my one time experience but this place could use some rule enforcement. First off.. at some point and time, people shouldn't be allowed to blast a bug speaker with explicit lyrics until early hours of the morning. Many campers spoke up to staff and the late night party campers but nothing was done. Second, there needs to be a limit on how many vehicles per lot. The lot next to us had 6 or 7 vehicles. Absolutely trashy. The place just turns into one big car lot and everyone is squeezed into a small lot on top of eachother. The positives: The natural spring itself is super cool and a lot of fun to swim in. The staff is very friendly and their pizza and ice cream is a must try! Bingo is a solid addition. Might consider returning.

We used to go here once a year for fair week but this will be our last time coming back We always enjoyed the cabins and the water obstacle course. 1. It did not state anything on website that obstacle course was taken down. 2. Making reservation for upgraded cabin and no longer provide linen for bedrooms or bathroom. These are extra separate charges. You have to bring own linen. This was not like this in the past. I'm already paying quite a bit for nicer cabin and to be charged even more is absurd. If taking away all of the basics at least provide better hand soap instead of mixing it with water to save on"cost" 3. Upon arrival the older lady with gray hair and glasses seemed annoyed and not welcoming. While checking in i did ask about the water obstacle course if still around and she blatantly said haven't had it for a year. It was just unpleasant checking in 4. Went to to store looking for a lighter and asked young staff member where they were and she just pointed over there in no direction she continued talking to friends. I went up again and asked exactly where and she finally came around the counter and she then says" oh we don't have any" and walked away. 5. My children were not impressed since they had great memories in the past coming here. That says a lot I will go to KOA in the future and other places that I know my family will have better experience

We really enjoyed our stay at Natural Springs; this place is our favorite campground. The place is clean; the kids had a blast doing numerous activities, swimming, fishing, playing basketball, and playing volleyball. You can rent golf carts, and the little food shop had excellent ice cream and decent food. This is definitely a great place to go camping or get away.

RV CAMPING LOTS- lots are well maintained. Most RV lots are Full hook-up. There are several pull through lots. There are several lots that overlook the lake and fountains. There are 18+ seasonal campers that have a lot of outdoor seating and decor that we noticed can be quite intrusive.You may want to ask that you not be placed next to a seasonal campers as they do spread out into lots beside them. BATH HOUSES- Bath houses had nice tile and flooring. The water pressure was good and could get very hot. I was told men’s shower area was dirty and not cleaned all week. Women’s shower was nice, sinks and toilets clean up an overall cleaning wouldn’t hurt. POOL- pool was big and clean. Bath house at pool area well maintained! LAKE- nice lake there are 3 fountains that they light up at night. There is an area roped off for swimming and water bouncing platforms and the rest of the lake you can kayak, paddle boat, paddle board. I only gave 4 stars mostly because the bath houses weren’t kept as clean as they should have been. We had a very nice , relaxing, 3 night stay and definitely recommend and we plan on going back sometime.

What a great find! We were looking for an overnight stay and found natural springs resort. They were so helpful! Couldn't ask for more pleasant staff. Bob was very kind. He went out of his way to get us settled.

Paid $170 per night to stay here in a "premium cabin". They wanted $40 PER BED to supply bedding, so you must bring your own. Also NO TOWELS or wash cloths. You get to bring them or go buy them too, but we didn't know that part. Had to run in to Richmond to buy towels so that we could shower. Cabin was clean but very dated. Park is very dated in general. Upon check out, they make you stay at the registration building while they go back to inspect your cabin-under the guise of "we check to see if you left anything". But really, they are making sure you didn't trash the cabin. We have never had that kind of experience anywhere. This place must be used to rough clientele? Which is sad.

Fountains are extremely loud making normal conversation difficult. The fountains would look just as pretty on the very far side of the lake far far away from my ears. No crickets frogs or gentle breeze to hear, just the roar of an industrial water site.

i went back to Ohio...but my city was gone.. but immersing myself in the beautiful waters of my childhood made me feel like I was home, like a sacred baptism. had the occasion to stay in the campground during our visit for the first time. honestly, it was pretty deluxe... super nice showers, everyone who worked there was very helpful, went out of the way to accommodate us. was the best part of coming home to say goodbye to mom.
