Ginnie Springs Rules & Policies
Ginnie Springs is private property. Failure to abide by these rules may, at the discretion of Ginnie Springs personnel, result in expulsion without refund. Persons failing to pay entrance or camping fees, who re-enter the property after expulsion, or who refuse to leave when asked, will be considered trespassers and subject to arrest.
Starting January 1, 2024, Ginnie Springs will become a golf cart-only park (no UTVs or side-by-sides). For more information, click here!
