Best Time to Camp at Little Manatee River State Park Campground
Plan your visit for late fall through early spring to experience Little Manatee at its finest—cooler temperatures make hiking, biking, paddling, and horseback riding far more enjoyable than the sweltering summer months when temps regularly soar above 90°F and shade becomes a precious commodity. Keep in mind that Florida's afternoon thunderstorms can transform trails quickly, with heavy rains occasionally causing flooding, so check conditions before heading out and embrace the slower, more comfortable pace of the cooler season.
Shade and river access help in summer, but Florida heat and bugs can reduce comfort.
Milder fall weather and river activities make fall attractive; reviews generally positive.
Spring offers pleasant weather and lush scenery; river and woods are appealing in spring.
Mild Florida winters favor camping; nothing indicates seasonal closures or poor conditions.
