Manatee Springs State Park proves boardwalks aren’t only for the beach. The park's 800-foot boardwalk runs through a majestic cypress forest overlooking one of Florida’s breathtaking first-magnitude springs.
People have enjoyed the cool waters of Manatee Springs for more than 10,000 years, from early Paleo Indians to modern park visitors. The first-magnitude spring releases an astounding 100 million gallons of water daily. This makes it a popular cooling-off spot and a great place to stroll on the park boardwalk and gaze into watery depths.
True to its namesake, manatees can be seen in the cooler months, and birds, mammals and fish are spotted year-round.
The park also offers 8.5 miles of nature trails and a safe connection to the 32-mile Nature Coast State Trail, so don’t forget to bring your bicycles!

Rules & regulations
While our sites are glamorous, glamping is still a rain or shine camping experience. Our sites provide comfortable convenience for camping in any weather condition, and definitely take the edge off of inclement weather typical of Florida.
Our tents are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, and they stay dry in even the heaviest of rains. We do not make exceptions to our cancellation or rescheduling policy for weather concerns, unless the campground is mandatorily closed (usually associated with a hurricane).
If you are new to camping, please take a look at the forecast 10 days before your trip, and then in the days leading up to it. We allow rescheduling up until 7 days prior to your trip in order to allow our guests to review a 10 day weather forecast. A little preparation for your personal comfort can a big difference in your glamping stay.
All overnight guests MUST be registered with the State Park BEFORE sundown. Park gates close and lock at sundown, and only fully registered overnight campers are given the gate code. If for ANY reason, you might arrive to the park after sundown, you MUST call the Ranger Station BEFORE sundown on the day of your scheduled check-in to complete your registration over the phone. If you do not complete registration in advance, and you arrive after sundown, you will be locked out of the park, and not allowed access to your campsite until the following morning.
Upon arriving at Manatee Springs State Park, you must stop at the Ranger Station. Please inform the Ranger that you are registered to stay in a Glampsite. The Ranger will assist you in completing your registration as an overnight guest, and provide instructions on getting to your campsite.
