Some mention

noisereservation

"Campers consistently praise Lake Manatee State Park (Loop 2) as a clean, peaceful, family-friendly campground with generous, well-spaced sites and lots of natural Florida scenery. Visitors highlight easy boat access, good dock fishing, well-maintained trails and bathhouses, and helpful park staff — though the park is small and best enjoyed for quiet relaxation rather than high‑energy activities."
