Camping at Paynes Prairie State Park, Micanopy, Florida
April 19, 2026

Camping at Manatee Springs State Park, November 2025
December 04, 2025
Our third and final stop on our November 2025 trip is returning to Manatee Springs State Park located in Chiefland, Florida. We enjoyed our stay previously, and I decided it was a good stop distance for us on our travels to return home.
