Spacious and wooded campsites. This is a gated campground so if you are arriving late, call campground before sunset to let them know. Many activities such as bicycling, nature and equestrian trails, canoeing. Not too far from Tampa and St. Petersburg (about 40 minutes). The campground does not make reservations. Reservations must be made online at reserveamerica.com or call 1.800.326.3521. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Small park with a small campground. Kids play area is at a separate picnic area perhaps 1/4 mile distant. Small laundry is at restroom. Activities include horse riding and canoeing (rental is outside park) and one 6.5-mile hiking trail (a short drive distant from campground) which is the best I've yet seen in Florida; several miles follow the river and then the trail loops back through a pretty forest. No bike paths. No grocery stores nearby -- stock up in advance. Well worth a short stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you like central Florida, you will like this park. Acres and acres of srub oaks...boring. Not much to do for kids. If it wasn't for the river this park would have received an even lower rating. The Little Manatee river is a wonderful and peaceful canoe or kayak trip. We saw plenty of turtles, gators, fish and birds. And as an added bonus you can stop along the river and pick oranges and tangerines that are growing wild. This is an easy trip up or down stream without fighting any current. The actual campground is small, but the sites are wooded private and spacious. The only problem is that everyone who camps there on a sandy site, their camper will become infeasted with ANTS. You can't stop them from coming in...what a way to ruin a trip. Everyone at the park had this problem during our stay. After talking to the campground host he said that this was a common problem at this park. This was enough to count me out for coming back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
