Amazing property! This type of old costal Florida is becoming difficult to experience specifically in the area of the site. Wonderfully wildlife viewing, birds of all types especially sea/costal birds. Kayaking and fishing are world class as good as it gets anywhere along the gulf. The host is super nice and easy going. We enjoyed spending time and talking with him. You will not see many sites like this.

We were honored to be Foster’s first guests. He was an interesting and charming host. The camping site is next to his house, which is on stilts and he allows guests to use the second floor, which has great views across the marshes. The property itself is very isolated and peaceful. There is a waterfront park to launch kayaks about a 5 minute walk. We really enjoyed our time here. The property itself is a work in progress so there is some work to be done, but you don’t see it when you are looking out over the marshes. There is a Walmart and other shops a few mins away. We would recommend and will be back soon

We booked the RV spot at Manatee Landing Retreat for Mother’s Day weekend, and even though the weather was mostly rainy and cloudy, it didn’t rain on our parade! In fact, having the place mostly to ourselves made it feel like our own private oasis.
The tiki hut was a total game-changer—giving us shelter when the rain did come through, and a cozy place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. When the sun peeked out, we made the most of it with kayaking, bouncing on the trampoline, and exploring the beautiful area with our dogs, who absolutely loved it.
Even with the clouds, the peaceful vibe and thoughtful amenities made it a weekend to remember. We can’t wait to come back—hopefully with a little more sunshine next time

This is a charming spot complete with all the amenities to enjoy the river. Having use of the kayaks, fire pit and bbq made it feel like home and interacting with the other guests made it even better. Would stay here again.
If your vehicle is wide or you are not super confident backing up this space may be intimidating and it is difficult to use the dump so we chose not to at this spot. If you have a van or smaller camper there should be no problem.

What a gem! This place is a water, nature and plant lovers paradise! Launching your kayak (or there a LOTS to borrow) from the property takes it to an entire new level. The fire pit, tiki hut and grounds are great! Will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Weeki Watchee! PS - I saw manatee, dolphins, turtles, every bird imaginable when I was there in early April. The trick to be out of the crowds is go up ABOVE Rogers park toward Mud River. I’ve done all of Weeki many times and this was by far my favorite!

Great spot! Our 17ft van fit perfectly, with plenty of extra space. It was awesome having access to the kayaks and being able to launch right from the property. It was also walking distance to a few good restaurants if you aren’t feeling like cooking.

We had a great few days at manatee landing retreat ringing in the new year. we loved the location being right on the water with just a short paddle to the main river. Ilyse was great and very responsive. The site is set up for motor homes that can pull in to the spot. We have a 20’ trailer that we had to back in and even though the pad is oriented as a pull in it still worked great for us. If you do have to back a camper in just know that it is a very tight spot, I would recommend folks be skilled at backing a trailer to stay here. We are definitely looking forward to our next visit.

Chris was prompt n friendly responding to messages. Met me within five minutes of my arrival call n directed me while backing single axle teardrop trailer so power cord reached utility plug in.
The site was average side yard with garage view. They gave me prime use of their driveway for four night stay. Its located in a nice suburban neighborhood with immense lush live oaks n surprising wildlife.

Definitely would recommend staying here. We were only there for the night but Chris was very nice to show us where to set up. It's a very nice area and we were able to ride bikes in the neighborhood. We also saw amama racoon with her babies sneak by while we were getting ready for bed.
