Myakka River RV Resort

23 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites, 21 Park Models

Myakka River RV Resort in North Port, FL, offers 24 full-hookup RV sites, 21 park models, and 2 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 66 feet. Sites come in three categories — 30/50-amp deluxe waterfront, 30/50-amp preserve, and 30/50-amp pull-thru preserve — all carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV with a picnic table. The resort is rated big rig friendly and the 66-foot maximum takes long coaches. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a clubhouse, a pavilion, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, and on-site recycling round it out. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, walking trails, horseshoes, live music, and boat rentals fill the calendar, with kayaking, fishing, biking, hiking, and birding along the river. Golf and the Gulf beaches are nearby. The resort sits directly on the Myakka River in Sarasota County, where the blackwater flow through flatwood prairie, cypress swamp, and tropical hammock makes this the most wildlife-rich river corridor in southwest Florida. Rates for sites and park models are on the booking page. Deluxe waterfront sites are limited and book earliest for the winter season.

Timberline Glamping at Sarasota

4 Glamping Sites

Within Oscar Scherer State Park in Osprey, Florida—on the Sarasota County coast where the scrub-oak landscape, the South Creek paddling corridor, and Lake Osprey's warm-water swimming create the specific habitat mosaic that scrub-jays, gopher tortoises, and the bird diversity of a Florida state park's managed natural environment support in one of the most ecologically significant preserves on the Suncoast—Timberline Glamping at Sarasota provides four luxury safari tent accommodations on 10 acres at the edge of Oscar Scherer's trail network, combining the immersive park experience of a state park stay with the interior comfort of a 320-square-foot furnished tent that includes a king or queen bed configuration, air conditioning, a Keurig coffee maker, and a mini-refrigerator. Rates starting at $152 per night reflect the specific combination of park access and furnished comfort that the property provides in a market where Sarasota hotel rooms at comparable rates offer less natural experience and considerably less square footage of outdoor living. Four safari tents—available in Deluxe configuration (king bed and two sets of bunk beds) and Double configuration (two queen beds)—accommodate single couples, families, and the range of group compositions that a 320-square-foot luxury tent can serve across the Sarasota glamping market. Interior furnishings include floor rugs, multiple lamps, high-quality bed linens, comfortable seating, heating and air conditioning units, electrical outlets for device charging, and the Keurig coffee setup with Timberline-branded mugs that makes morning coffee in a tent genuinely pleasant rather than an expedition logistics problem. Each tent's gravel-base exterior features two hammocks for tree-hung lounging, a charcoal grill with cooking grate, a wood fire pit, a picnic table, and string lights that create the warm evening ambiance that fire pit camping and glamping guests specifically seek. The pet-friendly policy—with an additional fee for furry companions—extends the welcome to the dogs and cats that Sarasota area travelers bring. Oscar Scherer State Park's ecology provides the glamping experience's natural programming. Lake Osprey—warm enough for swimming through the Florida season—provides open-water swimming and fishing access from the park's beach area, with largemouth bass and panfish in the lake's vegetation-lined shallows. South Creek, winding through the park's interior, offers kayak and canoe access (rentals available through the park) through a paddling corridor that the park's scrub-oak forest and freshwater marsh flank with the specific ecological transition that makes Oscar Scherer's natural character distinctive among Sarasota County's preserved areas. Fifteen-plus miles of multi-use trails through the park's pine flatwoods, scrub habitat, and marsh edges provide the hiking and biking access to Oscar Scherer's wildlife—Florida scrub-jays (a threatened species whose oak scrub habitat Oscar Scherer specifically protects), gopher tortoises, sandhill cranes, and the year-round diversity of the Sarasota County bird community. The park's scrub-jay population is accessible for wildlife photography along the scrub-edge trails with a consistency that serious bird photographers travel specifically for. Timberline Glamping at Sarasota operates year-round in Florida's mild Suncoast climate. The park's spring wildflower season, summer lake swimming, and fall bird migration create distinct natural seasons within a year-round operating environment. The Sarasota cultural infrastructure—the Ringling Museum, Sarasota Opera, Siesta Key Beach (routinely ranked among the finest beaches in the United States)—provides the day-trip programming from a glamping base that the park's natural setting complements rather than competes with. Reserve your safari tent, pack a paddling outfit for South Creek, and let Oscar Scherer State Park's scrub and creek ecology deliver what Florida glamping looks like when the nature experience is the point.

One category and no guessing — a straightforward booking experience. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and personal mailboxes handle the practical side.

Pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard, billiards, biking, swimming, and a beach round it out. Pets are welcome. The address is 16175 John Morris Road.
