The campsite offers a serene and picturesque setting right alongside the Myakka River, adored for its peaceful atmosphere and opportunities for kayaking and wildlife watching, including playful otters. Guests frequently mention the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts, Rebecca and Kary, enhancing the overall experience. While there is a note about the absence of potable water, the clean and well-maintained facilities, such as the porta-potty, are appreciated. Visitors leave feeling relaxed and eager to return, although some mention occasional noise from target practice in the distance during the day.

The property is expansive and we enjoyed walking around it with our dog. Splashed around and wasted in the water for over an hour. Dog zoomies in the water?? Priceless!
We loved our tent-camping site but on our walk we saw several other nice sites and a picnic area. Next time we may rent kayaks!
We were pleasantly surprised there was a port-o-john on the property, which was very clean.
The only drawbacks were slight. When we stopped at the homestead to meet the host, a barking dog announced our arrival. No front door clearly visible, so it was several minutes of the dog barking non-stop and me calling out for anyone who may hear before someone came out. I may recommend training the son how to host if he is going to regularly be the greeter.
We will bring a shovel next time in case there are cow patties on the campsite, as they are not removed in preparation for guests.
Otherwise, we enjoyed the solitude and quiet. Unassuming place and we were left to our own devices. We will save the spot for future visits!

We continue to have a wonderful experience every time we camp at Costa Myakka!! It’s so beautiful and tranquil.. We requested firewood and Cary brought us a big bunch of great logs to burn. I highly recommend staying there!!

We love the solitude, starry nights, kayaking with no other soul in sight, watching otters play and listening to Barred Owls. Peace and nature.
