Group Campout

Join us for a group camping trip! Everybody is welcome on this one! Please note this is Myakka State FOREST, not Myakka state PARK. There are no showers, electricity, or water at this campsite. There is a potty. The park is located on S. River Rd in Englewood.

You will need to provide your own equipment for this trip. We will provide chili and fixings for Saturday night. Otherwise, please come prepared with your own food and beverages. I will provide a camping list in the comments. If you need to borrow any equipment, please let me know as I have everything you might need.

There is a $10 fee per person for this trip.

We’ll enjoy hiking, birding, s’mores, and camping fun!

About the park:
Myakka State Forest is made up primarily of mesic flatwoods with a mixture of longleaf pine and slash pine overstory with a palmetto understory. Numerous depression marshes are scattered throughout the flatwoods, providing many opportunities for viewing wading birds and other wildlife. The forest includes approximately 2.5 miles of frontage on the Myakka River, which is designated as an Outstanding Florida Water and a Wild and Scenic River. The Myakkahatchee Creek flows through the forest for 1.5 miles and provides an additional water resource.
