Myakka State Forest Primitive Campsites offer five remote, hike-in tent camping sites scattered throughout the forest, with the River campsite providing additional boat and paddle access to the Myakka River (an Outstanding Florida Water and Wild and Scenic River).

Hiking distances range from 1. 5 to 3. 3 miles from the trailhead parking lot, and sites feature no water or electric facilities but allow fishing (with proper license) and paddling activities.

The forest contains over 40 miles of multi-use trails and is open year-round, with peak season rates of $8. 85-$8. 93 per night during October through April.
