PROCESS:
- View the website to learn about the options.
- Then call The Canoe Outpost, Ask for Brian (Sr or Jr); Tell them you are with TVCC and book your option.
- Make sure you are registered on the website and notify me by email that you have contacted the campground and what type accommodations you booked.
- See notes below:
- Tent Campers: We are booking the entire Group Camp area and as much of the Primitive camp area for the trip as needed. These areas offer water and electric for the tent campers. Primitive area is a short walk to back of campground from the Group site, but has electric and water service.
- RV Campers: You will not be assigned an RV campsite when you register. After most people have registered, your Trip Lead in coordination with the Campground Manager will assign your site. The reason for this arrangement is that the campground sustained damage last hurricane season and sites are being refurbished all Summer. The sizes and types of RV equipment that can be placed on each site varies and we will match the best fit for each. Currently 11 RV sites are available for rent and range in sizes suitable for teardrop campers, some for Class C's, and other for trailers. Additional RV camping is available at Little Manatee River State Park (Little Manatee River SP) , about 1.5 miles south on Hwy 301 from The Canoe Outposts at 215 Lightfoot Rd, Wimauma, FL . These book quickly for the holidays so reserve now.

-- Little Manatee Cabin: Sleeps 6: 1 bedroom w/Queen; Sleeper sofa; Loft with queen
-- Woods Cabin: Sleeps 8: 2 bedroom/2 bath cabin each with queen and 2 twin bunks
