We took our new Evergreen Everlite travel trailer to Myakka for its maiden voyage. We camped at Palmetto Ridge and this was a fantastic campground. The sites were well laid out, well maintained and provided a degree of privacy. The restrooms were immaculately clean. We will surely camp here again soon.

Nice place to spend the afternoon either walking or taking in a nice bike ride. Lots of wildlife to see. Try the guided tour thats offered. More

Very large, quiet, lots of birds, nice to kayack on. More

Looking for alligators? This is the place. Take the boat cruise and in early fall and spring you will see lots. They are there in the summer but spend more time underwater. More
