"Located just outside of Sarasota and on the edge of Nokomis. Very “old Florida” with lots of palm hammocks and scrub oaks. Cant say."
"It is located between Nokomis and Osprey, an urbanized area of Sarasota county, however when you enter the park, it feels like you are miles from civilization. The Legacy trail runs through the park."
$26 / night
"Hidden cabins, hiking, off-road biking, boating, wildlife...so much beauty and activities to enjoy in this park! The cabins are off the main path, tucked away and private."
"One of the largest state parks in Florida. This great Park has full and partial hook ups for all styles of camping to include hammock camping."
$120 / night
"The best part of this campground would be the private access to the beach just steps away from any of the sites."
"If you want to be steps from the beach and all that Siesta Key has to offer Turtle Beach State Park is for you. Turtle Beach is a very small campground which is great if you don't like a crowd. "
"Easy access to Vince and the great Legacy Bike trail. Beaches and parking are free."
"friendly staff on site. very nice sites on river inlet with perfectly placed utilities. bet clean restrooms and showers within a brief walk from every site. didn’t use pool but looked very clean and well"
"Surrounded by pines, palms and a beautiful lake that enters the Gulf of Mexico."
"Great location and everything you could need or want. Convenient reservations and check in."
"We didn’t utilize the amenities outside of the pool, but will be back to play! We wish the sites (ours was q03) were more shaded, but worth having a nice easy pull thru spot."
"Gorgeous location, so many things to do!!! Wish I could live herebyear round!"
"First of all the location, if you like to kayak, this is the place for you. Right on the river. Very nice."
"Many times we had 2” plus of standing water outside of our RV (we were on “Raccoon Road”). Also, the electrical and water connections needed maintenance while we were there. They were very worn out."
$26 - $70 / night
"This is kind of our go to Florida State Park as we live very close and really enjoy the hiking, biking and paddling the river and lake."
"Located just east of Sarasota you’ll find lots to do without having to leave the park."
$38 - $48 / night
"As an camper with northern roots, I have found it hard to camp in Florida. This campground helped me relieve those worries.
I will start by saying that this campground is south of St."
"Nice walking/bicycle path around the edge. Bike paths also throughout the park. Sites 1-8 or so have direct beach access, but swimming is not allowed. Mangroves surround the rest of the peninsula."
$22 / night
"Was bordered by the camp road and the bike/walking path so often noisy with no sense of privacy. Bad mosquitoes, but to be expected."
"If you’re looking for a place to camp on the west coast of Florida that is quiet and has campsites that give you privacy, Lake Manatee State Park is a great choice."
TravelerVery private spots lots of trees Lots of bugs in the summer time
ScoutFirst impression, the front desk worker was very informative and quite kind. However, there is no security gate. As a momma with young kiddos, that does make me nervous. The lake is beautiful and our neighbors have been lovely. Also, I am really grateful for the location. Not too terrible a distance from Anna Marie Island, or Tampa! There is so much to do locally.
ScoutWent to drain the tanks yesterday morning and a large sounding gator started to growl territorially at me. So heads up with your pets please.
TravelerGreat resort with lots of amenities, and it's on the water! Very affordable for Florida!
GuideMy experience was great with my pup! Primitive sites were $20 a night at time of writing.
We stayed in a primitive site(p14) with water. I was excited to discover all these primitive wites with water are right on the lake.
There’s no alcohol allowed which is a double edged sword, but I welcomed this rule as there always seems to be groups partying at public campsites. Not here.
Bathrooms are typical campsite bathroom. They have showers too for campers.
It’s a dirt road campsite, but they have water trucks that spray a few times a day to keep the dust down. So thankful for that!
RV pull sites and promote. campsites are far enough away from each other.
Nearest major grocery store is wal-mart about 15 minutes away.
Only iffy thing I’d call out is how tight the primitive campsites are to each other. It was dead when I came, but had my neighboring sites been occupied, I wouldn’t have enjoyed my time as much.
RangerI’m staying in the Palmetto Ridge loop which is the only paved loop & I think the only one w/sewer. The Big Flats & Old Prairie loops are gravel road, tight, no privacy & very small sites like for popups, vans or small campers. The Palmetto Ridge pull thrus are gigantic. I would say the vegetation gives semi privacy but they aren’t on top of each other so it’s not like you’re looking right at your neighbor. There is a picnic table & a fire ring. Gravel sites but pretty level. My site was 50 amp. Not sure how many are. Bath house & laundry facility appears clean. Pet friendly. The outpost is literally like 3 miles into the park down from the entrance & Palmetto loop. The store was nice & there was a food truck. It was a little spendy but good food. The river was low so the kayak rental & boat tours were shut down. Tons of great hiking & even some elevated bridges for site seeing. Tons of gators, birds, deer etc. There is also a scenic drive in the park, a “fisherman’s loop” & a few picnic areas. There are cabins to rent but I didn’t see them. Also never saw a playground if you have kids. Very dark & quiet at night.
GuidePeaceful and beautiful place to walk. BEWEAR, PLEASE READ THE SIGNS! Nice little beach. Lots of wildlife. We had a pretty open site. Some sites have more trees and shade then others. Temps can be warm. It was in the 90s° the week we camped. We enjoyed it.
GuideCamped in site 11. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful.
TravelerWe stayed here for 3 days prior to the IMSA race at Sebring this year. wonderful Campground, well Kept, and very crowded. Resort style pool with a restaurant and bar, 2 level gym with all the equipment you could hope for, and lots of activities for the residents. Lots of restaurants and shopping just down the street.
we will be back again.
