We had another great day at Fort De Soto. We kayaked, saw manatee, went to the pier, saw dolphins. The weather was beautiful. I didn't think that it was too crowded especially for Spring Break...

The park is beautiful, clean, well-maintained. The staff and rangers are polite and helpful. The country store needs to address the mildew/musty smell as it clings to one's person when one visits for long. Not pleasant. The area is amazing though with trails, views, waterfalls. The pull through spots with full hook ups are fantastic. We are 38 foot with a toad and there was plenty of room for us. We will be going back.

A beautiful place. Many trails and waterfalls to look at. The store is a bit sparse so bring what you need. Come with a full tank of gas because the gas station is far. Also some of the trails are extremely easy and short and some are more challenging so most people can visit and take advantage of the beauty.
