Lower Hillsborough Wildlife Management Area - Wildlife park in Thonotosassa - 15846 Morris Bridge Rd, USA

We stayed for a night or two tent camping. You have to book online, it's free, but they will send you an email with the gate code to get in. We stayed at the equestrian trail sites. They are primitive, with a fire ring, and a picnic table. There is a porta potty as well. It's very quiet and you can see the stars at night! Very beautiful!

Great park, well maintained! Kayaked there and had a blast. Not a far distance to drop a kayak in and current wasnt too overbearing. Absolutely beautiful views and a great place to see various wildlife.

Great place to walk through nature. Loved the walk through the wilderness and the sounds of the wildlife. Has a conoe launch. The river is beautiful and the rapids were awesome. Picnic tables and playgrounds are available. Wish the natural pool was open though...

It was called Hillsborough State Park. The sites were spacious and prices are affordable. The downside was the pool is closed and the grass on our site hadn't been mowed. It was knee-high. Loved the trails, and some unique picture opportunities.

Camping in their spacious, lovely, and wild park just outside Tampa. We have camped here before in Feb and experienced the hatching of Tussock moth caterpillars, which was not pleasant. In January, they aren't here yet. So, just a warning, pick your dates. Otherwise, enjoy the lovely Old Florida feel.

3 free primitive campsites at Washburn tract. Excellent potential but porta-potty full and gross. Fire Pits trashed. Grounds littered with debris. Otherwise, dry and few bugs at the end of December. Minimal road noise. Good signal, +3 bars w/T-mobile. Great TV reception and stores within 2.5 miles.

Some great trails on a beautiful day. I went there for a bike ride and let me tell you the names are tricky. I'm definitely out of shape and haven't ridden a bike in a while and even the "easy" trail had me putting in some work, but it was fun and so worth it. I'll also add be it hiking or riding bring bug spray! The mosquitos were out in full force!!

The tanner working the front entrance was an event himself! He wad so knowledgeable of the rich history offered by this and several other locations in Florida! We spent almost 30 minutes or so just picking his brain of the history this area posses! It's just off the beaten path and not to far from major shopping malls and outlets! They are less than 15 minutes away. So you aren't so remote but you are in the wild with plenty of wild life to include the Florida Gators! Just on the trail in the water, we spotted our first gator encounter! Although safe distance was maintained from the stairs, the encounter was both scary and exciting! They have ample parking and trails to enjoy safely! Once the pandemic is controlled, they offer a very large pool, expansive playground and views galore! Although we only visited, the campers were very nice! This place even has a river rapids area that's nice! Canoeing is allowed in designated areas!
