Blitchville, Florida

We camped overnight in a tent at Manatee Springs in #80. Be sure to bring tick repellant; this park is lousy with them. 

The park is nice, small, and well-maintained. I wasn't thrilled with the bathroom on our loop, as only one of the showers had a stall door, and the door to the building opened…

Big camping spots. Playground of kids and relatively clean facilities. Near a river outpost for renting canoes and kayaks.

Small, quiet campground. Family owned & family friendly. Clean bathrooms, well stocked general store, and they deliver firewood right to your campsite! It was just a few minutes walk to Ichetucknee Springs.

My family and friends have been going to Manatee Springs State park every year to camp. We've been doing it in tents which is great and the last 2 years in campers. We always enjoyed it because you have trails, boardwalk and kayak launch and swimming area along with fishing and plenty of nature.…

Grass sites, fairly level. LOTS of red ants on my site, got bit pretty good. Rained overnight, and my site was fairly swampy when I was packing up. Was quiet, could hear some road noise, not bad though. Some permanent sites. I'd recommend this only for a night. Was cheap.

No picnic table or…

Nice campground, cool suspension bridge crossing over the river.

Great place! Swimming - camp sites were nice and big. Very clean. Nice well marked trails to hike! Only down side NO CELL SERVICE.

Great place to view buffalo, wild horses, and all the birds of the swamp. Super quiet camping area. Clean restrooms and large sites.

Manatee Springs, Chiefland, Florida  Beautiful clear spring with swimming area, including area for kids. Two nice boardwalks. Nature trails. Great cafe at the Spring with ribs and pulled pork sandwiches.Yummy! Canoes for rent.  Campground was okay. Not great. Magnolia loop 1 was the best. Good…

We enjoyed this place so much. There was so much wildlife and it was very peaceful. The deer literally walked up into our site while we were cooking and hanging out. We saw several different deer walking to the restrooms and throughout our stay. We saw a tortoise, hawk, several other bird…

Beautiful park makes you feel like you are in the middle of the forest. Nice hiking trails with one along the River that includes a suspension bridge. We stayed at the Magnolia loop site #31. It was nice and we had no neighbors to our left as it was the trail to the youth camping sites. Very…

We really enjoyed this campground and state park. Good hiking and also connects to good road bike rides. Dog friendly. We stayed in February 2021 at sites 34 and 45 on the Dogwood loop and the sites were nice, forested, and reasonably spaced out. Bathhouse was clean and phone service worked…

We really enjoyed this campground and state park. We stayed in various sites on the Magnolia 1 loop in February 2021. All the loops were nice. The campground on Mag1 loop did flood a bit in very rainy weather and that could have been challenging for people in tents. Manatee Springs and the…

We spent one night at Payne’s Prairie in mid February, site 46. The campground is ok - nice wooded sites, but not as much privacy between sites as we have been spoiled by in other FL state parks. The biggest disappointment for this state park is that all of the things they advertise (and I was…

O’Leno State Park Review| Site 50 Oleno State Park is the camping I always remembered. You know, like quintessential state or national park imagery where you would expect to see“Smoky The Bear” around the next bend. It was one of Florida’s original state parks being built by the Civilian…
