Winter RV campers who book months ahead will find this hard to beat. The boardwalk puts you directly over manatees in the spring run, bathhouses are clean and modern, and your camping reservation gets you in even when day-use crowds shut the gates.
Tent campers are out entirely (no tent sites). Summer swimmers should know the spring can close for construction or management with little notice. A handful of reviewers describe unwelcoming interactions that would make campers from outside the local mainstream uncomfortable, so

Summer brings the warmest access: highs in the upper 80s to low 90s, humid nights, and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. The 72-degree spring feels like relief on hot days, and swimming, snorkeling, tubing, and paddling are all open (subject to construction schedules). Crowds peak in summer and the park often closes to day-use visitors once capacity is reached. Winter flips the script. November 15 through March 31, all in-spring water activities stop to protect the manatee aggregation, but boardwalk viewing is exceptional. Air temperatures are milder and bugs less intense. Spring and fall shoulder seasons balance wildlife, moderate temperatures, and smaller crowds, though manatee presence dictates water-access rules.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
