Hi Roy,
I suggest you contact Reserve America directly as they are the company responsible for taking reservations at Hillsborough River State Park.
How long can you stay if you’re in a tent
Hi Lottie,
During periods of high demand, the maximum length of a camping or cabin stay is 14 nights. After 14 nights, the camper must leave the park for at least three nights before returning for a new stay.
Based on availability and once the camper is registered and on-site, the Park Manager or designee, at their discretion, may extend a camper’s current stay up to an additional 14 nights. Maximum continuous length of stay in any one park is 28 nights.
