## Overview

Our glampsites offer all the excitement and adventure of camping, without sacrificing the little luxuries of home. 

Our sites are nestled in the Hickory Loop of the Family Campground, and are just a short walk from the main spring. 

Manatee Springs State Park

People have enjoyed the cool waters of Manatee Springs for more than 10,000 years. The first-magnitude spring releases an astounding 100 million gallons of water every day. Swimming, hiking, and kayaking are enjoyable year-round. Your Glamp site is situated a very short walk from the Manatee headspring, in the Hickory Loop Campground. Only Glamp sites and tents are permitted in the Hickory Loop.

Sister park to Manatee Springs, Fanning Springs is a 10 minute drive away, and

## Recent reviews

> We had a good time except there were fire ants on everything when we woke up. They were in every bag we had. Also, the spring is not very kid friendly. We saw a 4 foot alligator in the swimming area and it was all very deep. The tent was comfortable despite everything.

> Great little spot, not very secluded, camps are about 200 ft from each other, plenty of amenities but keep cash on you as most things here are still cash only.

> It was a great stay at the campsite. We saw manatees and had fun hiking the nearby trails. The tent was clean and had everything we needed. We stayed in January and at night it was only 45 degrees. It would have been nice to have an additional heater. The one small heater was not enough to keep us warm. The cold made it hard to sleep. Luckily we had extra blankets of our own. Overall, it was a nice peaceful getaway. There was no service and no WI-FI.

> Loved the area and Manetee springs. We saw plenty and even swam together with them in the springs. The tent was very nice and comfortable. You do have neighbours as it is on a shared campground
