Mary's Fish Camp offers five cabins along the Mud River, with one basic cabin featuring bunk beds, a mini-fridge, microwave, and a screened porch. Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park provides primitive cabin rentals without electricity, situated near hiking and biking trails. According to one visitor, "Cabins are pretty close to each other. All sites need to be reserved." Withlacoochee River Park includes both large and small cabins for rent, with nearby amenities including fishing docks and canoe launches. Most cabins include picnic tables and fire rings, with shared bathroom facilities located within walking distance.

Rustic and deluxe cabin options are available throughout the region, with pet policies varying by location. Nature's Resort in Homosassa allows pets and offers cabin camping with access to a restaurant, tiki bar, and recreation facilities. Weeki Wachee Christian Camp provides cabin accommodations with electric hookups, drinking water, and picnic tables. Reservations are essential, particularly during winter months when Florida's milder weather attracts more visitors. Many cabins remain available year-round, though summer months bring increased humidity and mosquito activity. A KOA Holiday location about 40 minutes south offers deluxe cabins with "fresh linens, a full kitchen, and even a private patio with a grill and fire ring," according to a recent visitor.

Most cabin rentals provide basic furnishings but require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and cooking supplies. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations, from simple fire rings with cooking grates to cabins with mini-fridges and microwaves. Visitors staying at cabins without private bathrooms should prepare for shared facilities that may be a short walk away. Walmart and other supply stores are accessible from most cabin locations, allowing campers to purchase forgotten items. During summer months, insect repellent becomes essential, as one reviewer noted: "Winter months are best - that is when mosquitoes are not too bad. June and July are nearly impossible to find relief from these insects."

    Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park

    Anything but stark...

    Part of the Starkey Wilderness Preservethis location is full of multi use trails, has primitive cabin rentals (no electric) and tent camping available. Front country (car camping) and back country camping (hike in only). There are specific equestrian camping sites as well.

    Cabins are pretty close to each other. All sites need to be reserved.Tent, cabin, shelter and pavilion reservations: Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park, (727) 834-3247. Picnic tables and fire pits are provided. Pavilions are also available to rent and they take reservations for large groups as well.

    We chose car camping for our visit to check the place out. A favorite for hiking and biking. This place has gotten busier as development has been growing steadily over the years. Many of the trails are without shade and the recent fire season hit the back part of the tract pretty hard (Spring 2017) but you would not see any signs of this unless you hiked out the furthest trails from entrance.

    Bring your bikes, hiking shoes, horses, or telescopes. Birders bring your binoculars! Over 150 species call Starkey home either full or part time. There is something here for everyone.

    As always in Florida bring bug spray, sunblock, hat, and please leave no trace!

    Lake Griffin State Park Campground

    Fun marsh trail!

    Tight roads, nice big campsites full hookups with picnic table and fire ring. Restrooms clean but need some touch ups. Two nice trails and playground. Pet friendly. Boat ramp. Great for kayaking and fishing.

    Mary’s Fish Camp

    Hidden Old Florida Jewel

    I'd like to give this place a bad review so that everyone stays away but I just can't.

    This place has it all.

    Small, Quaint, Quiet and Beautiful Waterfront.

    Located on the Mud River but don't let the name fool you. This is a spring fed tidal tributary which means almost crystal clear, dolphins. manatees, aquatic birds and fish galore.

    The sites are adequate some shaded , some not. Some have left hand utilities ( reason for for 4 stars instead of 5)

    Beautiful river and 275" seawall. Boat ramp on site. Gulf access about 2 miles down.

    Watch locals catch endless schools of mullet. Kayak the river and find a few hidden spring runs. Creek connects to Weeki Wachee river. 

     Watch the sunset on a deck with adirondack chairs. 

    Pet friendly Too

    Priceless!!

    More for RV camping

    The place is very nice and well put together if you have an RV. I do primitive camping mostly and can say that there is a lack of care for the placement for the sites. There’s a few lots for tent camping with one “cabin” which is just two bunk beds in a shed with a mini fridge and microwave. The coolest part about that is it has a screened porch. The camping sites are directly in the sun the entire day until sundown. There is no real parking for the sites and the restroom is a walk to get to tucked behind the office in between two rental units. There’s water views if you walk around the site and a nice deck with a view of the swamps. My biggest complaint is having any problems and then 3 different people coming up to me and my girlfriend asking if we had checked in and had a reservation after 10pm at night. The first guy came up waving his arms in the air asking if we knew what bird was chirping and then said his family owns the place and wanted to make sure we paid. Then two others later on asked if we were able to get checked in. Mind you, this is after 10pm at night and there is literally no lighting where the site was. Overall, it’s definitely worth a stay and not far from walmart and other places to eat. Phone service was almost non existent and their wi-fi they offered doesn’t reach near the camp sites.

    St. Petersburg-Madeira Beach KOA Holiday

    Natural Spot Hidden in the City

    I recently had a wonderful experience at the St. Petersburg/Madeira Beach KOA Holiday, and I’m excited to share my positive review! I’ve hosted friends in their Deluxe Cabins before, and they were thoroughly impressed. The cabins were equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay—fresh linens, a full kitchen, and even a private patio with a grill and fire ring. And they had a great view of the lush mangrove lined Long Bayou.

    They loved the blend of cozy and convenient, making their getaway truly enjoyable. At the end of the road driving out of this campground is a great restaurant called Doe Doe's that makes a delicious homestyle breakfast if you don't want to cook it yourself.

    Wanting to be close to them I opted for one of the small tent sites at the end of the park where I car camped in my Subaru Outback. It was a peaceful and charming spot, perfect for a relaxing camping experience - and away from more of the centrally located activities that people camping with children enjoy. 

    Overall, the amenities were top-notch, including the heated outdoor pool, bike and kayak rentals, and clean and large facilities. They have something called KampK9 which is a fenced in dog park area. Less than a mile away is Bay Pines Park which is nice to jog or ride your bike through and there is also a super Walmart nearby so you can stock up for your drive to the next campground. You also have easy access to the Gulf Coast's stunning beaches and the scenic Pinellas Trail.

    Driving on the main road, and seeing the somewhat industrial area you pass through on your way down the small side street to this campground, you wouldn't expect much - but this KOA has been there for decades and is one of the nicest family campgrounds in the middle of a city I have experienced.

    Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park

    Hidden gem in Florida

    Great get away in west-central Florida as a day trip or long weekend stay.

    We spent the day hiking the numerous off-road trails and enjoying some of the amenities the park has to offer. The park has separate primitive tent, car-camping (tent) and cabin campgrounds near the entrance of the park along with over 50 miles of biking, hiking, nature as well as equestrian trails to enjoy. Not to mention several parking areas throughout with playgrounds and an educational center make this a favorite for families to just get away.

    Reservations can be made for camping up to 90 days in advance either online or at the park. We noticed several rangers and volunteers performing various tasks to improve the parks appearance. Will definitely be returning!

    Withlacoochee River Park

    A Hidden Gem

    Wow... a few miles from home and one I will visit often! This lovely county run park you will find at the end of a 15 min drive down a back country road. There is so much to see and do here. The campsites are well shaded. (unless grounds were full when you reserved and you took option to camp in adjoining astronomy field). I would have rated a 5+ except that there is only 1 small bathhouse in campground. There are other bathrooms on property though. Staff on phone are not overly friendly - but do not let that dissuade you from booking a spot here!

    There are multiple tent camping sites dispersed on property and 1 primitive site that you have to hike into. The group site is very popular with local scouts! The RV/Tent sites are roomy and not too close together - but not very private either. There is a dump station onsite

    Next to campground you will find a historic church, a large and small cabin available for rent, 2 playgrounds, shelters, large pavilion with grill/fire pit, fishing dock, canoe launch, paved bike trail hiking trails and an observation tower. On new moon nights the local astronomy club uses neighboring field to gaze at the stars. This place is quiet and dark at night!

    Wildlife did not seem to be a problem at camp (but we are very careful with trash). There are lots of birds, deer and fishing was good on the river.

    You might have to compete with us for a reservation here - we will be back!
