Hampton Springs is located four miles from the town of Perry in Taylor County, Florida, United States.
Once labeled "Dixie's Famous Spa", the Hampton Springs Hotel was very popular in the early 1900s, when Taylor County boomed due to the intersection of several railroads.
The ruins of the hotel, including the swimming pool, pathways, and a goldfish pond still remain.
Picnic tables, a walking bridge over the river, parking, and fencing have been added.
In 2018, the historic pool was filled in citing liability and vandalism as reasons[1][2] After the article was seen by local residents that still used these pools to swim and spent time keeping them maintained for use the county was ordered to reverse the fill and return them to the original condition so they may continue to be used for swimming and sightseeing.
