15402 U.S. 301 North, Thonotosassa, FL 33592
Families and paddlers who book early get the most out of it. Fall is the sweet spot: manageable heat, fewer bugs, and good river levels for kayaking the rare Class II rapids. Sites 41, 61, and 110 are worth requesting specifically for hammock-friendly trees.
Sites 82-100 draw consistent complaints about wastewater odor and should be avoided. Anyone counting on campfires should know a Hillsborough County burn ban is currently in effect, leaving only attended grilling permitted. Flood-prone pads after rain are a real issue in some loop

Fall brings the most comfortable conditions. Daytime highs reach the mid-70s to low-80s, nights drop into the 50s and 60s, and humidity falls compared to summer. River levels favor paddling and fishing, and insect pressure decreases. February also draws visitors for cooler weather with fewer bugs. Summer heat is significant, and afternoon thunderstorms arrive regularly. The park stays open year-round from 8 a.m. to sundown. Weekends and holidays draw heavy crowds from Tampa.
Peak season with warm weather, perfect for water activities. Book early.
