This is a very quiet park. Sites are not necessarily overly spacious for a large motor home with slides but there’s certainly enough room and there’s adequate space between sites. Each site, except the 4 horse sites, have trees, palmettos, and heavy foliage as a barrier to provide a feeling of privacy between sites. The sites are packed sand except for the handicap sites which are paved. Site #’s 1, 2, and 3 are the closest to the restrooms and the laundry (2 washers, 2 dryers, $1.50 each). Although others have complained of nothing to do or labeled the park as boring, it’s truly a place for relaxation. It’s a park where you can find peace and quiet and some seclusion from your neighbors. Each site has a fire ring, BBQ grill, and a large, wood picnic table. The site was raked and clean when we arrived. Water and electricity, no sewer connection but a dump station is available in the park. The nearest grocery store and Wal-Mart is about 4 miles north on SR 301, and Ellenton Outlet Mall is approximately 13.5 miles south of the park on 301. Connection to AT&T was weak. No Wi-Fi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here because it is close to Tampa and St Petersburg. A great place if you plan activities out of the park. The park it self is boring and not much to do except hiking or taking a canoe ride down the spring fed stream. We did see deer in the park. Very few campers here during our stay. It was a bargain. Price reflects senior Florida resident fee. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were in site #6. It was shady and we had plenty of room for our 35 ft MH to fit with 2 opposing slides. Most sites have some shade and lots of vegetation around them. All sites are grass/dirt. Ants are everywhere, bring repellent for them. There is a small area on each side of restroom to play for kids but not much else. Playground is in day use area which is about 8/10 mi away. Canoe launch about 1.5 miles from camp area, but park does not rent canoes. You must get an outside vendor to bring them to you or bring your own. So we did not canoe the river. Park has one 6.5 mi hiking trail (we did not hike)and 2 horse trails, no biking trails. Stores(Walmart and Publix) are about 5 mi outside park. TV reception was good. There is a washer and dryer next to restrooms. We saw absolutely no wildlife in this park. Normally we love FL state parks but this one was really boring. If we hadn't been with our camping club I would have ranked it lower. The park staff doesn't even start work until 3 pm M-F. One of our members had a problem with his site and there was no one to help until 3 pm. If you want quiet this is your park, but if you like to explore this isn't the one for you. We camped here in a Motorhome.
