Great fun with the kiddies! We spent 5 hours in the springs area. Basically it's a few connecting wading pools, and surprisingly enough not too crowded in the middle of August. We arrived at 10am and it was pretty empty then (by the time we left also not too bad). There's a refreshment kiosk, clean bathrooms and a playground. Beware - some of the little canals are super slippery! Every so often a child would slip on the mossy rocks :(

Great camping zone with clean facilities (wash basins, toilets and showers). There is a vast area where you can camp so even when there are quite a few campers there it doesn't feel crowded. There are plenty of picnic tables, some terrace, grass lawn and even big tents for large groups (20+). The park itself is also nice and is popular for barbecues and picnics. There are a few springs there and lots of shade.

I was unfortunately disappointed from my visit there. My family and I went together during Passover vacation (April 2019). The entrance price is 22 NIS for an adult and 9 NIS for a child. The weather was great and there were many benches and tables under the shadow of huge trees. The open space was big and generally nice (a lot of green grass). However, the park seems to be a little neglected - the water in the fountain seem polluted (since there is no flow, it became kind of a swamp). The wading pool was very literally empty. The viewpoint is just a 10 meters tall tower. Also, the reconstructed ruins of an Egyptian resting station are no more than a bunch of knee-height brick walls. On 3 pm an announcement came via PA system saying a tour is starting (probably because it was Passover). We decided to pass, realizing there is not much to see that will make an significant addition to what you can read online. View the pictures!

A bit boring. It is good only for a picnic. The tiny water puddles to dip the legs in are filthy. The toilets are dirty and unattended to. There is not enough shade for a picnic in the summer. The disk-golf baskets are not properly marked and we didn't know their route. The kids enjoyed examining colorful stones and little rocks, and splashing in the puddles. The rope bridge is a nice attraction outside of Eshkol park, and there are sea turtles in the stream below it.

כאחד שהיה במקום בפעם האחרונה אני יכול חד משמעית לראות את ההתדרדרות הדראסטית של הפארק שהיה פעם פינת חמד מדהימה והפך להיות ביצה אכולת אצות וזוהמה. הרבה מאמות המים הארוכות מלאות אצות וילדים שמשחקים שם מחליקים נופלים ומקבלים מכות לא נעימות מהאבנים. גם מבוגרים מחליקים. הבריכה הענקית שהייתה פעם - נסגרה. הפכו אותה לחניון לילה כושל. אחת הטעויות הגדולות של הפארק. את הבריכות הטבעיות סתמו בבטון כדי להפוך אותן לרדודות בגובה של 40 ס"מ מקסימום כדי לחסוך בשירותי הצלה שאין במקום. ובכך גם הפרו את הניקיון הטבעי של הטבע והבריכה הגדולה ביותר שם מסריחה ומלאה באצות מחליקה מאד ומסוכנת. בקצה הבריכה (התחלת הנביעה) מישהו מזרים ביוב והכל מצחין ודוחה. מסוכן מאד בריאותית לגעת במים הללו. ובנוסף יש לכלוך ופסולת במים. לסיכום, המחיר נמוך מאד. 22 למבוגר ו9 ₪ לילד מעל גיל 5 ואחרי שנכנסנו הבנו מה הסיבה למחיר הנמוך. לדעתי לא שווה ביקור. נראה מקום בגסיסה עקב שיקולים ניהוליים שגויים ביותר ורצון "לחסוך" על חשבון הנאת המבקרים ובעיקר על חשבון הטבע שסובל כאן.

Such a beautiful place for camping vacations! The place is amazing and very clean and organized. Showers with hot water available and the toilet are clean enough. Bring the anti mosquito with you! And at night it might be cold so Bring extra clothes. Enjoy and stay safe.
