I have been to Hart Springs, Manatee Springs, and Ginnie Springs. As far as camping and swimming, they all offer it. But as far as getting in the water with little ones like a beach area. None of these have that.
Sorry. But out of the three mentioned, I have been to Ginnie the most but don't recommend it due to the college party atmosphere that they have there.

We have only been to Manatee and Silver Glen. Silver Glen did have a nice beach type are where the kids could walk in. At Manatee they have steps walking down to the water. Those things were slippery than ice. Once you got off the steps the water was about 3 or 4 feet deep.
From what I understand the springs at Salt Springs should be pretty kid friendly.

I would suggest Salt Springs or Rainbow Springs. Salt has a beach area and a swimming area and rainbow has tubing on the river and the campground has a small swimming area.
Blue Springs has no beach, but if you are not camping Deleon Springs is really nice as well.

We have been to hart springs also. In Gilchrist County. They had a small beach and swimming area. I believe Manatee Springs has a swimming area. It is more for the scuba diver though , if I remember correctly. Small swimming area.
Salt springs is nice also. Have not been there since the renovation.
If I remember correctly, Juniper Springs is a federal campground and has a swimming area in addition to the canoe run. In that area, there is also Alexander Springs. Never been to the spring itself, just from the river end. I understand they have camping there also. Just no electricity.
