Campers who've encountered cliquey or unwelcoming crowds at Florida state parks report similar dynamics here, so those who feel unwelcome at heavily local-regular campgrounds may want to factor that in. Pets aren't permitted on-site, and road noise hits beachside spots harder tha

The spring maintains a constant, refreshing temperature of 72-73°F year-round, making it a haven no matter the season. Plan your visit around what you want to experience: from mid-November through mid-March, the spring becomes a winter sanctuary for manatees (swimming is closed during this time, but the viewing opportunities are extraordinary), while April through mid-November opens up the water for swimming, snorkeling, and tubing. Summer brings hot, humid days and more insects, so many visitors find the spring and fall shoulder seasons ideal for the most comfortable camping experience.
Manatee season (mid-Nov–mid-Mar) offers world-class wildlife viewing though in-water recreation is closed.
