Sandwiched between the Homosassa River and the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park, this property has unique features, including karst windows with bubbling fresh water, natural springs, and large, mature trees. Learn more about this land: Tucked along a narrow road, this unique site offers users direct access to the crystal clear waters of the south-east fork of the Homosassa River. Use our kayaks or bring your own to explore one of Florida’s Outstanding Waterways where you may meet a manatee, observe otters, find fish, or watch wildlife of all kinds. The site has direct access to Pepper Creek Trail, a 0.75-mile paved trail that is part of the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. While you’re there, swing into the state park to view the sparkling waters of the Homosassa head spring and meet all of the native wildlife ambassadors, including Florida panthers, black bears, endangered whooping cranes, and many other amazing animals.

My partner and i had such a wonderful time at Kate’s property! We saw so many adorable manatees! We loved being able to use her kayaks and take them out on the crystal clear canals and rivers. The campsite itself is private but well lit at night, and we loved the jungle-like setting. We felt like we were in a different country! It was so beautiful. Kate was very responsive every time we messaged her and was very kind. The camp seems very secluded but once you’re out on the river there are lots of boats, families, and wildlife. I highly recommend manatee delight for nature lovers!

My crew loved this site. It was secluded yet close to everything. The ability to access the water without having to drive or leave the area was a treat.

We had a wonderful stay at Manatee Delight! Such a nice private spot in paradise. We had a nice time in the spring just across from the campsite and the hosts were sweet as can be. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Manatee Delight RV Camp Site
As I pulled off the main road down a beautiful wandering path, I was very excited about the prospect of camping for the next four days. That changed as I backed into the site. I found myself backed up to a work shed with work materials along both sides. There were 4 inch PVC pipes and other work materials scattered around. I looked for the hiking path, but when I found it was impassible with tennis shoes, I needed hiking boots. The fire circle was unkept with leaves and fallen trees all throughout. At this point I was very uncomfortable and did not feel safe. I did however try to access the across the road entrance to the river and springs, but observing a large white rooster, I decided not to try at this point. I personally own a rooster that is aggressive, and did not want to chance it. I left the site and did not stay. I did contact Kate and she asked what she could do to make me feel comfortable. At this point I took it for a lost and the ruining of my spring break. I am a site camper, I enjoy first my surroundings and then the amenities. This just did not work for me.
