Our camper is there now. So far they've been great to deal with. We wanted to drop off for the first time on a Saturday morning the office was supposed to be closed, and the owner came in just to get us all setup.
We were impressed with the place - level, well paved, securely fenced and monitored, you get your own code to get in and out, and generally seems very well maintained.  Parking spaces are good sized and level, the area is open - no worries about trees nearby coming down in a storm. This was our first time there and we were encouraged to see it full of all kinds of RVs  - everything from popups to huge, high-end MHs.

We have gone to Ichetucknee springs a few times and always enjoyed floating down the river. There is no campground at the springs but 2 in the area, unfortunately I can't be much help as we haven't stayed at either. 

We've stayed there a couple times getting decent prices using Priceline.
But even booking thru the hotel, you end up paying a parking and resort fee, which can come to a 1/3 of the cost of your discounted room rate.
 

Unfortunately security at Disney isn't well thought out or consistent. You get scrutinized like crazy before entering one of the theme parks. You can get hassled trying to enter a parking lot at Disney hotels (not all of them). But park your car at Disney Springs, use the FREE bus transportation and you have the keys to the kingdom-access to all the hotel/resort areas no questions asked. Once again its that false sense of safety fostered by Disney.  It really excels at "perceived" security vs "actual" security. Won't stop me from enjoying my visits to Disney but its definitely a place to use your "city smarts" and don't be foolish when it comes to you and your families safety. Would love to see one of the Orlando TV Station Investigative Reporters do a story on this. Definitely the type of "reality" publicity Disney doesn't like and would force their hands to address the situation.
