Has anyone every camped at Lake Manatee. If so how is it. I have only camped at Fort Desoto so far down here in FL.

I have not been out there in many many years. You could even come down a little more south and camp at Mayaka State park.

Myself and four friends live in the Tampa Bay area and don't want to go to far. We saw Lake Manatee and it looked nice. Looking to do some fishing.

It's only about a hour more away and would be worth the trip sometime. The fishing is pretty good there to.

Shoot, coming down I-75 it ain't but another 20-25 minutes to Myakka State Park from where you turn onto SR64. By the time you turn onto SR64 and get out to Lake Manatee you could be down to Clark Road (SR72), then it's just 10 minutes or so out to Myakka. I've never camped at either place, but I know folks who have and they are both nice places to spend a weekend.
