    There are six primitive campgrounds (Mossy Hammock, Bee Island, Honore, Panther Point, Oak Grove and Prairie) located along the hiking trails for backpackers.

Trek to the highlands to get a look at Florida’s traditional wetlands where marshes, cypress dome trees, and grazing birds will welcome you. Go even deeper to reach the diverse array of grasses, wildflowers, and vines that grow freely in the park’s protected dry prairies. Don’t forget to bring your camera with you! Short shrubs in the dry prairies allow visitors to see for miles in any direction.

    You’ll also want to bring the camera atop the Canopy Walkway at Myakka River. Just a short walk from the main road, this suspension bridge provides a panoramic view of the entire park from a unique vantage point above the tree canopy. Every camper can find what they’re looking for at this Florida park.

      Palmetto Ridge Campground is Great

      Great campground for any type of camping. All sites at Palmetto Ridge are full hookup and many sites are pull through. ATT WiFi is fast enough to stream YouTube and YouTube TV via my Apple TV box tethered to my iPhone.

      We're beyond excited for the grand opening of Palm Breeze Luxury RV Resort and have already booked our stay for 2025! The amazing amenities, combined with the family-friendly and pet-friendly atmosphere, make it the perfect getaway for everyone. The reservations team was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the new management company is doing a fantastic job. We can't wait to experience everything this resort has to offer!

      Nice campground

      The location was lovely, and the camp host was wonderfully accommodating. However, considering the $80 nightly fee for waterside parking, I anticipated that the septic would be included. The heated pool was a pleasant amenity. While the bathrooms were clean, they would benefit from a remodel, and it was disappointing to find no handicap-accessible showers available.

      Active yet clean and well maintained.

      I stayed there for 13 nights. Good experience. Customer service is excellent. I stayed on a concrete pad close to the main office. Great neighbours. Tight spaces but I had no issues maneuvering my 28' RV.

      Do your research - TT members be wary

      Note: TT Encore does not mean a special upgraded park, 

      Per TT, Encore parks are ones that agree to hold several sites for TT members. We've come to understand the worst sites are set aside for TT members 

      Don't waste your money if TT and do research on what site you get if not This is the second worse Encore park we've visited 

      Booked this site 60 days ago for longer BUT left early as it was so bad One lane roads with 2 way traffic. If you have a big rig, it will be tight. 

      Our Site: Side and rear backs up to the park dump and supply site. 

      Grass/dirt site. 

      Our front has 6 foot diameter sewer drum which is leaking vapor, picnic table over some access panel. 

      Some resolution could be had if a privacy fence was put up to shelter the view Surrounded by year round residents, some homes well kept, most not so much, some abandoned and trashed 

      I reached out to park manager and was after 2 hours and we already set up in 85 degree heat, there was 1 other site but it was just as bad. 

      We paid an additional$20 per night, I asked for a refund, response was Why? What did you expect? 

      They said to contact TT I contacted TT and they said they couldn't do anything, but I could file a complaint. Our neighbor was here 3 months, they said on Google earth the area behind us was a field at time of booking. Also told if they wanted to rebook for next year, they would have to have the same site! They aren't coming back either

      ALSO at 630 am a crew decided to install an electric both beside the septic tank, pic ax, sawing metal and cement.

      So much for our vacation stay

      Awesome spot

      We had a great time at this private camp spot in their GlamPing tent . We fished all day right from our site and took advantage of the extra rentals they had , kayaks and outdoor movie. Will def be back again to stay in the converted bus!

      Meadow River Ranch

      Peaceful Indeed!

      Had a marvelous time at the Meadow River Ranch.  The grounds are well kempt, with a thick, lush carpet of a St. Augustine and rye grass blend covering the acreage. Very quiet and peaceful. A great place to just “be”. My grandson and I tried our luck fishing in the canal.  Jeff was very accommodating.   Let us run our generator as much as we wanted.  Even let us run our dogs off leash for awhile.

      We stayed at MRR in a self-contained RV, and as such had no need to use the outdoor toilet or solar shower, so I offer no comment on those facilities.

      Beautiful "old Florida" park

      The campsites are well-shaded and have easy access to walking & biking trails. We've visited Myakka on day trips previously, and just recently camped there for the first time. It's quiet, and there's plenty of wildlife to be seen: Lots of birds, alligators, deer, wild turkeys. Bathrooms with laundry facilities were conveniently located, but we didn't use them. Campsite was clean, level, and easy to back into.

      Located in Jasper, TN. This is a place to visit! Fair rates ($35/night) and great views. Friendly staff. Upkeep on bathrooms and showers. Very pleased with my stay here! The lot was a tight squeeze so if you’re not an experienced driver, you may want to request a different lot selection.

      Well I called to reserve for the night. I was given a discounted $40 overnight rate. It seemed fair, but the conditions were underwhelming. I had to use the shower and bathrooms and frankly… it was a hole in the wall. The shower was literally just a hole in the wall! Had to walk carefully in the bathroom to avoid getting in contact with the disgusting conditions.

      Still in recovery mode

      This is a nice camping location…or will be when they complete renovations. They are still recovering from hurricane damage, so there was some construction and noise. The spaces are pretty tight, but not as bad as other places. And they are staggered so it feels roomier. we had a nice site with a shaded patio. Also a misquote problem! Lots of misquotes and no see-ums. But the pool, boat ramp, playground, and dog park are all open. 2 dog parks! The laundry, hot tub, and camp store are still closed. It’s close to the Big Cypress Wildlife area, and an easy drive to Everglades National Park.

      Love the location

      Had a very nice time with my family this past weekend. I was very pleased with everything about this place, the bathrooms were clean and plenty of them throughout the campground. The location of this campground is right in the middle of at least 4 different beaches. Our site didn’t have much shade and it was really close to the creek. All in all we were all happy campers 😉

      Does not honor cancellation policy as stated

      Cancellation policy states you have 7 days prior to arrival to be refunded. Notified Holly on the 11th that we would not be arriving on the 18th due to an accident, and was told I would be refunded the amount minus $25 administration fee. Two days later received a call from Holly stating the campground had to be notified on the 10th to process the refund, therefore canceling my refund. Now numbers are subject to interpretation. Last I checked 18 - 7 =11. Splitting hairs to make a dollar. 

      I should have been a no show- at least they wouldn’t have the chance to double charge on the campsite. Beware!

      Great Inland Florida Park

      We spent the winter here after usually being near the beach. It was a fun place to be to experience a different ambience. The city of LaBelle has winter events like their Swamp Cabbage Festival and parade. They have a nice rodeo grounds with impressive events. The RV park itself has tons of activities and pickle ball courts etc. Owners friendly. We don’t have a pet, but everyone seems careful with their dogs. It’s a very seasonal park and pretty new. They just finished a second new laundry and showers building this 2023 year. Very fair prices. But must have a less-than-ten-year-old rig.

      Nice but not top notch

      We are staying here for 2 weeks. This is our first visit. To be fair, they are still recovering from hurricane Ian. Some of the sites are very nice and well kept and others look like they have very long term residents who don’t clean up after themselves very well.

      Red Tide ruined the experience

      Unfortunately, red tide has killed many of the fish in the creek and the smell was terrible. No mention of this was made when we checked in. Our site (17) backed up to the creek and it was littered with dozens of dead fish.

      Packed like sardines

      I live in Florida so I know “season” is busy but this place had zero outside living space due to they cram everyone in there. Also there are permanent trailers mixed with regular campers that face each other. So when you come out the door of the camper you ate essentially on their doorstep. Really weird and zero privacy. We lucked out and had great neighbors but it could get pretty weird if that wasnt the case. It served its purpose but we couldnt even put our awning all the way out for fear it would hit the next trailer. Full hookups, and pool was nice. Also they have shuffleboard available which was fun and staff was very friendly.
