Since my last review was over a decade ago, probably time for an update. I don't come to Ginnie as…read moreoften as other area springs but it's worth a visit now and then--on weekday mornings ideally if you want to freedive, swim, and miss the crowds of the weekend. It's a good camping destination, too. For me, the main draw however is freediving and there's plenty here to see. You cannot and should not by any means enter caves as a freediver--it's forbidden and even for highly-experienced freedivers, dangerous. If we freedivers don't want to wear out our proverbial welcome, yes, we need to behave. Cave-certified SCUBA divers are the only ones to enter caves. I want to address some things which came up between my own observations and what I've read in other reviews here. For one, the food. This isn't a good place to get good food. If you want something nice, get it "in town" in High Springs or bring something to cook if camping. For that matter, bring your snacks and gear because expectedly things are a bit overpriced at the merch store here. If you don't what the place to be loud, busy, and long lines then don't come on weekends and holidays. It's that simple. This is a business and they'll let in as many people as they safely can let in. As far as loud music and uneven enforcement of rules, I think this just comes down to different employees acting their own way. Most summer help is students, they're not going to have the discernment and acumen of a veteran police officer in dealing with people. Most are nice, some are lax, some overzealous. About the bath houses and other facilities. I think things are in pretty good shape--on par with bath houses at campgrounds in the Ocala National Forest, in example. Nothing was horribly dirty any time I was there but folks--this is camping. Remember that. I don't see the need for tram or shuttle, either. Maybe for disabled or infirm folks but most of us can simply walk between springs and should. Overall I feel Ginnie is well-run for what it is, with your normal business caveats like they'll charge what they can get away with in their store which is exactly why you want to buy stuff at Walmart or whatever prior to coming here. It's a great place to camp and unique, beautiful, springs you'll remember your entire lifetime.

Wide assortment of ATV's in all sizes. The staff is exceptional here! I don't think I've ever been here more than 5 minutes without at least being acknowledged-no matter how busy they were, even if I was looking at cheap stuff. I can't review the service department, as I have no experience with that, but I haven't heard anything negative either. The parts department has been very friendly & helpful on the few occasions I interacted with them The only reason I didn't rate McDuffie's 5 stars is due to my lack of experience with the the service department. That's a critical component when purchasing a $12,000 to $72,000 fishing boat! Having met the owner on several visits I have little doubt that it's run like the rest of his business- a tight ship! Yes, pun intended...

Obviously it was a relatively minor infarction ($10-$15), but I'm a 21 yo woman, already fairly apprehensive of going to a repair shop on my own. I was let down. Not sure what bike repair etiquette is, but performing a service without asking the customer and then charging them for it seems pretty inappropriate to me, no matter the SOP. My bike is fixed though, so that's nice.

It's not a cheap weapon and is advertised to have a high performance trigger as it is a target model. Lawfuldefense had one in stock and I like to support local business versus order online. Everything was great until I brought the weapon home and fired it. There are problems with the trigger, bad enough to where I did not feel safe with the gun. I called the store and was told to bring it back in and we could work out store credit or something. I told them I could not ship the gun and have it shipped back because I am in the process of moving out of state. I don't have an address that's any good right now. I drove back down and brought the gun in and was then told that they could not do any sort of refund, I would have to have them send it back to Kimber and they would return it to me wherever I was, it did not matter that I didn't have an address. I was also told I would not need to return to that store, but I did not trust that process. I bought a defective item from a retailer and I expected them to handle the problems that came from the factory not me. That's the whole point of going to a local brick and mortar is the support. We argued quite a bit, I questioned why I was told one thing on the phone and another thing in person, and I ended up leaving with my new expensive paperweight. I drove a ways down the road and decided to go back and just give up the gun. I brought it back into the store again and told them go ahead and ship it back to Kimber and I'll worry about where I am and how to get it later, it's better than just losing 2,300. At this point, the story had changed and I was told that I had to physically come back to that store to retrieve the weapon after an unspecified time it would take Kimber to fix it. I finally got to talk to somebody different, the nice confused man who had been helping me all along went and got the boss. The boss ended up doing a refund, but charged me 10%. So bottom line is I drove 4 hours to pay them a $200 restock fee on a defective product. I don't call that good customer support at all.

I am happy to say however they still easily get five-star status from me. Though a smallish shop, the people are absolutely aces. First off, Dawson is awesome. He's the young mechanic and has worked on my bike twice and done a stunningly good job--and fast!--both times. Indeed, everyone here is awesome: when I damaged my Stumpjumper on a jump, they offered me several options for its repair, one being upgrading a part but they never tried to press me on that (it's what I chose anyways) and they were very matter-of-fact about every way it could be remedied. I never, ever, have felt like they're trying to upsale me anything here which is a big deal with bike shops. I have two good but not top-of-the-range mountain bikes: many stores may look at that type of person as a customer they'd try to get to trade or buy a new, even higher-end, bike because they see he's serious but doesn't have the very best. Not here. They are just decent, forthright, and honest in trying to get me what I want and get it done quickly as possible. If I do decide to upgrade to something like an S-Works bike, this would be where I'd come because they'd done right by me thus far and their skills in fixing things are also superb.
