For Little Manatee River State Park: Bathhouse is being renovated and a trailer is being used as a replacement (March 2019). Not a pleasant experience. The sites are all on a sort of sand/mud base that sticks to everything in the morning after a heavy dew. Site are well spaced and private.

For Little Manatee River State Park: This is a wonderful small campground in a state park along a river. Some of the spaces are close together, but all have lots of shrubbery around them making you feel that you're alone in the palmettos and oaks of an old Florida forest. Wildlife is all around - armadillos live near the camp host's space, gopher tortoises roam along the roadsides munching on the grass, deer play near the playground just down the road within the park. The volunteers and rangers are so nice to visit with, it's like coming home to family. Right now they have temporary bathrooms with showers set up in space 21. They also have a laundry next to the closed original bathhouse. Walmart is within a few miles and several really good restaurants in Sun City Center. Florida is hot and muggy in the summer, but this would be a wonderful place to be in cooler weather.

For Little Manatee River State Park: Please note that if you don't have a reservation and arrive after 5:00, you aren't allowed to camp even though there are sites available! In all my 25 years of camping, never have I run into that. Very disappointing especially since it was at 8 pm and had search and drive to another campground. Looked like a great place. That policy needs to change.

For Little Manatee River State Park: Nice camping spots with wildlife. We rented a canoe and saw lots of turtles. We are impressed with FL State parks, great price, helpful people and clean parks.
