GenieSummary

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.

Myakka River State Park is one of Florida's oldest and largest parks, covering over 37,000 acres of unspoiled wetlands, prairies, hammocks, and pinelands.

Visitors can also enjoy wildlife tours, canopy walkway, birdwalk, and explore the waterways. The park has a locally owned and operated outpost that offers bike/canoe rentals, a café, souvenirs, camping supplies, and more.
