Rainbow Springs
It's nice and hot out - wanna go for a swim?! Aw c'mon, look how beautiful that water is!! That sign? What sign?
While we were visiting with Barsh, we stayed at another state park. The Rainbow Springs SP campground was really nice and had lots of great full hook-up sites. Ours was more plain and unvegetated than this one pictured above, but maybe they thought that would be better for such a big rig...or maybe the nicer-looking sites only had 30amp or...?? but the nice ones were fairly private, surrounded by lush greenery, and covered in crushed rock/shell.
We did have THIS at our site though - maybe the others didn't!?! That would be some compensation, at least!
And here are the "headsprings" of the park. The campground is actually about a 6-mile drive away. And yes, it was here at the headsprings that the alligator warning sign was found... And yes, it was here that I went swimming anyways! With a bunch of other folks. We stayed in the cordoned-off area, but I figured that didn't mean much to any nearby, hidden gators, so I only swam for a few minutes! And while there were no incidents that day, I read later that people have been "nabbed" by gators in springs such as these...!! So,...as Foxworthy might say "here's your sign!"
