This park is a little gem. The foliage in the RV area is beautiful; you feel as though you are far away when you're right along Route 41 between Sarasota and Venice. There are good hiking trails and swimming in the lake (don't feed the gators). Rangers and park staff are friendly and helpful. My only criticism is that the RV area itself is a little tight and some sites are small. Other than that, it's a great place to get away from it all. Getting a reservation is a challenge in season and it is easy to see why. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Although some sites are relatively small and the campground is not very big, it is an outstanding park. Our stay began in the middle of a weekend and, though the park was full, it was quiet. There are several well-marked walking trails and one of them is excellent for biking. The yellow trail connects to a paved bike trail called the Legacy Trail which connects Sarasota to Venice. OSSP is close to Sarasota, Bradenton and Venice. We found Venice and Venice Beach particularly interesting and tourist friendly. Consider visiting the beautiful gardens and exhibits at Ringling Museum of Art and Ringling Mansion in Sarasota. Free Wi-Fi is available at the Nature Center although the Friends of OSSP hope you will make a donation to help defray the costs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here for the weekend in a pull-through site with 50amps. Great park for short stay. The river is great for one hour canoeing for $5.00 an hour. Renting from the rangers office. The bathrooms are nice and clean. The small osprey lake has a nice beach: but swimming with the alligator ??? I will camp again in this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
