    Weeki Wachee, Florida

    Welcome to Mary’s Fish Camp in Florida! This spot is a hidden gem for those who love a laid-back, old Florida vibe. Nestled near the Mud River, don’t let the name fool you—this spring-fed tidal tributary is almost crystal clear and teeming with wildlife. You might spot dolphins, manatees, and a variety of aquatic birds while you’re here.

    Fishing is a big draw at Mary’s Fish Camp. The long dock is perfect for casting a line, and locals often chum the water with oatmeal, making it easy to catch mullet without fancy lures. If you’re after snook, bring fresh bait since the camp store mainly stocks frozen options. Kayak rentals are available, and the creek connects to the Weeki Wachee River, offering some fantastic paddling opportunities.

    The campground offers a mix of tent, RV, and cabin accommodations. Tent sites are primitive but conveniently close to the fishing areas, bait shop, and bathrooms. RV campers will find electric hookups and water, though there’s no sewer connection or nearby dump station. The cabins are basic but come with a screened porch, mini fridge, and microwave.

    Amenities include hot showers, toilets, and a small market for essentials. Pets are welcome, and there’s a picnic table at each site. While the campground lacks some modern conveniences, its charm lies in its simplicity and the natural beauty surrounding it.

    Visitors have praised the friendly staff and the relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re here for the fishing, kayaking, or just to unwind by the water, Mary’s Fish Camp offers a unique and memorable experience.

    Just minutes from downtown Tampa, this Hillsborough River State Park Camping offers a refuge from city life with its seven miles of nature trails and ample places to cool off in the water.

    Except for occasional reenactments, the cannon and guns are now silent at Fort Foster. No longer do Seminole Indians have to fight to keep a foothold in Florida, and soldiers no longer guard a strategic river crossing. The reconstructed fort and its surroundings are now part of Hillsborough River State Park.

    Besides a living history lesson, visitors can kayak or canoe class II river rapids, rare in Florida, hike seven miles of nature trails and swim in an ADA accessible swimming pool.

    Tucked away, only a short distance from the bustling city of Tampa, camping is a popular activity at Hillsborough River State Park.
