What others are saying about this campground
Manatee Springs State Park in Chiefland, FL, offers a picturesque camping experience with opportunities to discover diverse wildlife, nature trails and different swimming holes. The park offers various RV sites with different levels of amenities. Magnolia 1 offers electric and water hookups with more spacious and private sites, while Magnolia 2 has full hookups but is more crowded and less shaded.

From The Campground

Manatee Springs State Park is a beautiful park in Florida that features an 800-foot boardwalk, majestic cypress forests, and a historic river. The park offers 8.5 miles of nature trails and a safe connection to the 32-mile Nature Coast State Trail, making it a great destination for hiking and biking enthusiasts. Visitors can also enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The first-magnitude spring releases an astounding 100 million gallons of water daily, making it a popular cooling-off spot and a great place to stroll on the park boardwalk and gaze into watery depths. True to its namesake, manatees can be seen in the cooler months, and birds, mammals, and fish are spotted year-round.
