Stayed for 3 days, 2 nights. The facilities are kept very clean and everything is well maintained. Lot of fun activities you can do here like swimming, kayaking and a handful of other things. They also have a playground. Staff are nice and helpful. You can buy firewood here and they do rent out kayaks and bikes. Everything is pretty decently priced. It's a pretty quiet area and lot of wildlife. Electricity and water are provided at the campsites which is really convenient. Overall had a great experience and definitely recommend.
The park is very nice and clean and has well shaded areas and pavilions with Bbq area. Has changing bathrooms and showers as well. Even though there are signs to watch for alligators, there's a swimming area. You can also see the Manatee River Dam.
Nice park with plenty to do
Alot of broken down trees from storm
So you had to walk to hard service path to the 🚻 restroom. Ranger at gate and host were very nice and helpful. Had a great camping experience.
Nice little walk on a sandy path. Weather is in the 60s today and it’s overcast out. This trail would be brutal if it’s hot out. We saw lots of little wild flowers. I, personally love occasionally hearing Bradenton racetrack while spotting. Seems like a great place
to take your boat or wave runner out. The two porta-potty we stopped by are long over due for service.
