What others are saying about this campground
Myakka River State Park is a popular camping destination in Florida, offering visitors a unique experience with its Jurassic Park-like atmosphere. Campers can enjoy a variety of activities, including biking, hiking, and kayaking, while taking in the stunning views of the wildlife, including deer, hogs, alligators, eagles, and turkeys. The park features a variety of campgrounds, including Palmetto Ridge, which offers full hookups, gravel surfaces, and three sparkling bath houses. Big Flats is a secluded campground with large gravel sites and an extra area for picnic tables or tents. The park is also home to a boat tour and a camp store and snack bar. For those looking for a quieter experience, public access paths and parking lots just north of the main beach offer much less crowded conditions. Campers should bring a flashlight and hide their food at night, as the park is full of wildlife.
