Myakka River State Park

We'll be back at Myakka next March for a couple of weeks. The mosquitoes aren't usually much of a problem then at least. For a long stay, we really like the newer full hookup Palmetto Ridge section. The staff calls it "Hollywood". ;)

Absolutely on the mosquito repellent! That is the only place I have been where my Thermocell was useless against swarms of mosquitos.

Oh yeah according to one of the "reality shows" there is a sasquatch residing in the area.:E If you see him please take pictures and then complain to the park that they did not warn you!

Gallons of mosquitoes repellent would be good to have.

Don't leave small pets alone outside. They have coyotes there.

Hi, We have been there man times as we are thirty minutes south of it. Palmetto ridge campground in newer and higher than the other two sections. We have had rain this week so I would call them. Its a wonderful park and you will enjoy it.Go...Paul

That's the reason for the post. Just wondered if anyone was there.

Then why not call them and ask the folks that can tell you about your specific site? Myakka's a great park if you haven't been there before...

I'm not there now but it is a great park. They have more gators than you'll see anywhere outside the Everglades and they have that skywalk. But it is low and does flood during the monsoons.
