Manatee Delight RV Camp Site

The site is as described in the listing, unfortunately I decided to not stay here upon arrival. A big selling point for me was the kayaking location with a chance to see manatees, but unfortunately when I arrived the water was full of a few very loud boats and people partying. And if you’re not familiar with the Florida heat and humidity, camping here with no facilities is going to be a struggle.

Incredible property

Kate has an incredible property! It is private, quiet, and dark (great for star-gazing). It is rustic camping at its best with excellent water and electricity hook-ups. We got 5G Verizon service at the site so we could work remotely and stream our favorite shows in the evening! There is coffee and pizza just a short bike ride or walk away. We explored two awesome springs just off Kate's dock and from there you can easily paddle to the Homosassa River. It is a nice, simple getaway spot. Kate is an excellent and thoughtful host!

Manatee Delight RV Camp Site

the privacy of the site is amazing , no other campers, total darkness at night. We did not get to meet Kate as she was out of town, but we did meet Rick and River (the dog), and multiple chickens. Everything was wonderful, the river access is amazing, kayaked, paddle boarded and just plain floated around, wonderful way to spend a day!! Questions sent to Kate were responded to quickly and Rick is super nice. Definitely want to go back, what a great little getaway!!
