Fort De Soto Park
Closest high-demand option from St. Petersburg and usually the simplest delivery.
Reserve early, check site length carefully, and confirm pet-area rules if you are bringing a dog.
Lake Manatee State Park
A quieter family option inside the normal delivery radius.
Good for longer weekends where the drive is still reasonable and the campground pace is slower than beach-adjacent parks.
Hillsborough River State Park
A strong Tampa Bay state park option with hiking, river access, and more inland shade.
Delivery is farther than Fort De Soto, so use the booking flow to estimate the fee and confirm site details before approval.
How to choose a site
Use 34 feet as the trailer length when checking site rules.
Look for full hookups when possible, a clear backing path, and enough room for slide-outs.
If the site description is vague, call the campground before reserving.
