While You Are Here . . .
Our part of the Panhandle abounds in natural beauty.
Take some time to have a look around . . .
"The World’s Most Beautiful Beaches"
Panama City Beach - Visit Panama City Beach Website
Beaches of South Walton - Visit South Walton Website
​
Australians and Americans alike just love a great beach! There are two lists
of "America's best beaches" published annually by Forbes Magazine and the
Traveler's Choice website. How fortunate are we to be located within an
hour's drive of TWO of the listed beaches?
Grayton Beach State Park has been voted 4th on the recent Forbes list and Travelers Choice rated Panama City Beach in 5th position. Under 2 hours away is Pensacola Beach, rated #7 with Travelers Choice.
​
Not to be missed are the communities and beaches of the 30A corridor. You’ll find tons of things to do once you tired of all that sugar white sand, sun, and beach time. 30A boasts some of the regions best dining, shopping, nightlife, and events.
Combined with the perennial favorites of Fort Walton and Destin you have a whole coastline to explore! Spend a day at the beach and head back to Outback Springs to enjoy a relaxing evening under the trees.
Falling Waters State Park
Falling Waters State Park Website
​
This lovely park is around 13 miles from our park
Huge trees and fern covered sinkholes line the Sink Hole Trial that leads visitors to Florida's highest waterfall. Falling Waters Sink is 100 ft deep and 20 ft wide into which flows a small stream that drops 73 ft into the sink.
Florida Caverns State Park
Florida Caverns State Park Website
​
This is one of the few State Parks with dry caves and is the only State park in Florida to offer cave tours to the public. The Florida Caverns has dazzling formations of limestone stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, flow stones and draperies.
Also nearby are facilities for picnicking, fishing, hiking, horseback riding and golf. Great for a day trip just 32 miles from the park.
Did you know...
Florida is home to more large (first and second magnitude) springs than any other state in the nation. We happen to have a few nearby.
Ponce de Leon Springs State Park
Just 15 miles from Outback Springs RV Resort, this beautiful spring is named for Juan Ponce de Leon, who led the first Spanish expedition to Florida in 1513-as legend has it-in search of the "fountain of youth." Visitors might well regain their youth by taking a dip in the cool, clear waters of Ponce de Leon Springs where the water temperature remains a constant 68 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. The main spring is a convergence of two underground water flows, and produces 14 million gallons of water daily. Visitors can take a leisurely walk along two self-guided nature trails through a lush, hardwood forest and learn about the local ecology and wildlife. Picnicking is a popular activity at the park; grills and pavilions are available.
Located just 10 miles from Outback Springs RV Park is Cypress Springs, a local gem accessible only by water. This stunning natural spring with its strong current, lush banks and deep sapphire waters is one of the most beautiful springs in Northwest Florida. The spring discharges from two vents in the limestone boulders at the bottom of the spring pool. The diameter of the spring pool is approximately 150 ft and the maximum depth is 29 feet. A large surface boil is visible over both vents. The cool, clear water is a constant 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The banks surrounding the pool are heavily vegetated with cypress and tupelo trees.​ The Cypress Spring run enters Holmes Creek from the west, approximately .25 miles downstream from the head spring.
​
Please note: because the land surrounding the spring is private property, the sole
public access to the spring is by traveling up the spring run from Holmes Creek by
boat, kayak, canoe, or stand up paddle board.
Morrison Springs Park
A 23 mile drive from the Outback Springs RV park is Morrison Springs, one of the most popular diving spots in northwest Florida and well-known throughout the southeast. The large, sandy-bottomed spring is surrounded by a 161-acre park that is managed by Walton County. Morrison Spring discharges an average of 48 million gallons of crystal-clear water each day to create a 250-foot-diameter spring pool and a spring run that flows into the Choctawhatchee River.
There are 3 cavities reported at the bottom of the spring pool, 1 of which is 300 feet deep. The spring is popular not only for scuba diving but for swimming and
snorkeling, too. It's a great place to cool off in the summer heat. The natural floodplain setting is also popular for birding, photography, and nature walks.
