Little Manatee River State Park Campground Florida

Little Manatee River State Park Overview

Little Manatee River State Park has 34 campsites with full hookups and offers some nice secluded camping in a sand pine forest. Four of the campsites are for horse/equestrian camping. The campsites can accommodate trailers/RVs up to 68 feet. Group and primitive camping are also available. Each site also has a table, fire ring and grate. Sites are separated by native Florida plants, affording campers privacy from other campsites. Our favorite campsites are: 4, 8, 19 and 23.

Campground amenities include drinking water, flush toilets, hot showers and an RV dump station. Ice bags and firewood are also for sale from the campground host.
