Lake Manatee – Bradenton, Florida

Back to the serenity of nature. Such a reprieve after staying in an RV park right on I-75. Once again, we are surrounded by trees, birds, and leaves rustling as the wind brushes against them. We even hit the jackpot as the bugs stayed at bay and we could sit outside without the massive mosquito attacks.

Riding around the park, one could see the damage Hurricane Ian caused. Many trees had fallen. Whether they would be cleaned up or lay there to rot was a question we asked ourselves. Either way, this is a park we would revisit again in future travels. There is plenty of distance between campgrounds, and a nice family park along the lake to picnic or cast the fishing rod.

The park is within driving distance of Ellenton Mall, Armands Circle in Sarasota, and downtown St. Petersburg for those who want to adventure outside the park. This park closes out our Season three as our next stop is to spend time with our son and grandson. We will try to continue posting during that time, but they may not be consistent until we begin our journey again in April. This next season is to travel the middle states of the country with our big rock being Michigan. We hear it is a beautiful state. Our plans also include returning to the east coast to see the leaves changing. Fall is amazing but living in Florida, this season is nonexistent.
