Country Haven on Bullfrog Creek, Florida

This was a very nice swimming and paddle boat park on the Hillsborough River when I was a kid.As a family we visited many times. Now everything is closed down except camping, hiking, canoeing if you bring your own. But still a nice place to camp. Better if not during rainy season here in…

First of all, locked gate. You have to make a free reservation to get the combination. I camped at the primitive side. At the fork bare right then immediately turn right. You'll see the Port-a-John. Port-John was clean with TP. But who doesn't carry TP with them. The grass needed to be cut, it was…

Soo,on our way back north after long day driving from key west ,looking for campground for the night ,and we picked this one n went there but ,was not a campground even there ,just a few houses on dead end rd.08/03/2021

If you’re in the Tampa Bay area it’s a great place to camp it’s part of a much larger RV site.

Short hike in to site. Nice open and quiet area. Firewood was available for $5 for 6 pieces.

There are several trails crossing the river, paved and unpaved bike, walk, run trails, a ginormous swimming pool, a snack shop and equipment rental.  It's breath taking and has everything you could want.

This is reclaimed land from an old phosphate mine.

The mine was closed 20 years ago and the land was reclaimed and turned into a beautified park and campground. The trees have had time to mature. There are four lakes, campsites are located on one of the bigger lakes. Like all parks some site are…

Well we didn't like the tent and RV sites. They're in an open area on gravel with no shade and hardly no divisions. There are other areas for special groups that are much nicer. But for individual campers. The equestrian area was the nicest to us. But you must have a horse to stay there.

This is an eco experience with much diversity in flora and fauna. From gators to wild pigs, they have it all. Be careful as this campground is run by the racoons! Store has cool gear and excellent food. Try the Aligator stew! Also wood available for open fires. Lots of rules but worth the visit.

Planty of amenities, not far from the beach ( 10'driving distance). Good WiFI.

Don't stay at spots WD2,3,4,5,6 as they are very muddy if you are caught in a rainy season.

This is close to my home so I love that we can set up and still go to work!

Myatkka River State Park is full of wildlife...deer, hogs, alligators (safe places to view) lots of birds including eagles & turkeys.

Pros Nice Staff Clean Baths Great Walking & Hiking Great Biking Wooded between sites

Cons Old sites very sandy

Need To Know

1. Swampy, so bring bug…

Like other reviews mention, the pot holes entering the campgrounds are bad. But that’s by far not the worst part about it. For starters, there are people “camping” who clearly live there. I’m talkin’ backwoods hoarder hang out, party of five. Pretty sure one of the neighbors we met was on meth but…

I will return to this campground because the Pinellas Bike Trail runs right in front and I can bike into St. Pete. I also like the kayak launch site on property. The bathrooms were very clean and daily trash pick up.

The only down side was the level of privacy but we ended up meeting some great…

We recently state a Hillsborough River State Park, the pool, concession stand and canoe rentals were all closed. Shady sites, clean showers and bathrooms
