Wandering Sandals
For Manatee Springs State Park: Stayed in Manatee Springs State Park for 5 days to see one of these elusive creature. Never see one, probably wrong season! Our walk-in site #61 is shaded and very spacious for 35’ trailer/vehicle combo. Sites are uneven and sandy. For around $20/night for electric/water hookup, we liked the bargain. Bathroom was dated with strange layout but within short walk. Communication via very weak 3G cell network, and WiFi is only at rental concession stand. The Manatee SP has little bit of everything; crystal clear spring for kayaking, beautiful swimming hole completed with synthetic boardwalk, scenic hiking/biking trails close by. Yeah, everything in beautiful smallish scale. Deers walk past our campsite, squires on our table, alligators on floating vegetation and tree stumps, turtles on the road. Very nice and quiet stay, felt like a small Florida vacation.

For Manatee Springs State Park: Stayed there 3 nights mid-June 2018 in our small travel trailer. Nice, wide spaces, with good separation from neighbors. Standard water/electric hookups. Quiet and nicely secluded. Springs are cool, clear, refreshing - a great way to chill in the late afternoon. Tons of wildlife; you don’t have to look hard, they’ll come to you. No reliable internet connection - a plus for us. Bugs - including ticks - were NOT a problem.

Disappointed 
For Manatee Springs State Park: I called Manatee Springs State Park to reserve a campsite for same day arrival. The Ranger informed me that there were 3 sites available, but I needed to call Reserve America to reserve a site. Reserve America informed me that they only had walk-in sites available, and I could not pay in advance to reserve a site for today. I was 200 miles from the Park, and it was possible that by my arrival, the available sites may be booked, or they may sit vacant overnight. I chose to reserve a site at a private campground that would accept my same day reservation. Where is the common sense in this policy? I can't give a 5 star review when I wasn't able to reserve an available campsite!

We were here mid December so it was cool at night, but we saw a half dozen Manatees from the boardwalk!

For Manatee Springs State Park: Spring was cool and clear but not much to see but a few fish. Bring snorkel gear. Grounds were well kept but if you bring pets beware or deer ticks. There are lots of Florida deer wandering through the grounds and where there are deer there are ticks. After a 4 day stay, and only walking two small dogs on dirt roads and paths, I found 4-5 ticks on each dog during the 4 days. Even though it was cool to see the deer and swim in the springs (I've seen prettier) we probably won't be back.

For Manatee Springs State Park: Campsites are spacious with full hookups. We took the guided pontoon boat tour on the Suwannee River and loved it! Playground is in excellent condition! Great BBQ place on site with wifi. Restroom and shower facilities were clean and well lit. Would definitely come back here again. Great for kayaking. Super Walmart is
