We were passing through Sarasota last week and impulsively decided to stay at your park for the night. We ended up staying 2 nights because we enjoyed the surroundings and wanted to experience more of what the park had to offer. We would like to give a shout-out to Park Ranger Chris! He was a delight and made our stay much more enjoyable! Hope to be back again someday!

My all time favorite State Park .I have been coming here for 45 years have camped with our children and now our grandchildren...Every time we come here we see something different from flooding to hurricane damage, to drought...I am thankful every time we are able to be here..

Great camping - waste water dump at site. Clean bathrooms. Big airboat and tram rides were awesome. Excellent experience!
