It was our second time over to Crystal River and we just discovered the visitors center. The staff both at the front desk and the driver were exceptionally friendly, informative and right on time. Taking the shuttle over to the park was really convenient as there is no parking at the park itself and it is a bit of a drive from the visitor center. We would recommend getting there early as both Hunters and Three Sisters get quite busy as the day goes along. Crystal River is definitely developing as well so remain cautious on the roads as there are a lot of construction and road changes currently.

Rv parking available? Thx

Did not see parking for RV's. It was a small parking lot for catching a trolley. Maybe check with the center.

We're just traveling thru, and don't have a lot of time,... we don't mind paying to get into the park,... it's there a quick spot to see the manatees?

Is there any place close to park? Is the trolley the only way in? I need a place to park that is easy to get into park itself.

Rick Scruggs | Sep 16, 2018
Laura Passione | Sep 16, 2018

You have to use the trolley. Park where you get the trolley. It then brings you right to the springs.
