Myakka State Park 21st Century Loop NOW OPEN
Florida has an amazing range of State Parks as most in Florida know. Like most state parks around the country, tho, the camp sites were built for the old generation of campers and can often be cramped for today's multi-slide units. And, most state parks have electric and water only.
Myakka State Park just completed the new Palmetto Ridge Campground as part of a planned retrofit of all campsites. The new Palmetto Ridge sites are BIG and WIDE with wonderful grading, drainage and SEWER to all sites. Brand new camp furniture and sparkling bathhouses complete the package. Over the coming years the park will retrofit the two existing campgrounds for larger sites with a small net increase in total park sites when all is done in the next few years.
Palmetto Ridge is open NOW for drive up campers. The Reserve America, the state park reservation system is now LIVE as of this date. BOOK NOW I'm sure these sites will go FAST. We've got dates for the fall and next winter...but then we live here . We'll post pictures when we camp this fall. You'll be amazed at the range of things to do at Myakka and its only a short drive to the beautiful beaches and wealth of cultural activities of Sarasota.
