Canoe outpost

At the Little Manatee River

MArch 11th THrough the 13th

The Canoe Outpost on the Little Manatee River is located on the Gulf coast of Florida in southern Hillsborough County. We are near the cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Bradenton and Sarasota.

We offer canoe and kayak rentals for self-guided or guided trips on the Little Manatee River, Cockroach Bay, and the Braden River. We also offer tubing on the Little Manatee River when conditions allow for it. We provide the transportation so you can go with the flow. We can also coordinate group trips on other local rivers.

We will have a 30' x 30' covered pavilion with lighting and ample electric, cooking and picnic tables and charcoal grills. There is also a covered 16'x24' stage suitable for concerts, presentations or events.The area has cafe style LED lighting around the perimeter of the pavilion and the camp area for event or area lighting, a camper controlled sodium area light, and a big central fire pit with bench seating surrounding it. Tents may be pitched in several alcoves carved into the woods or in the more open area. Several picnic tables may be arranged to fit your needs. Electricity may be accessed at the pavilion or at 3 locations throughout the camp area so be sure to bring extension cords if you want power at your tent. Water is located at the pavilion and at the rear of the camp. Bath house facilities with flush toilets and 2 indoor and 1 outdoor private hot showers are close by. The group camp area is for tent camping only. No vehicles are allowed in the group camp area without special arrangement. Gear drop off is allowed about 20' from the pavilion and ample parking is located about 100' away from the group camp area.

For anyone that has not camped with us before.

We always do a form of "Car Camping". Typically you will never be too far away from your car. So no great hikes, no back backing, no lugging your gear for miles.

DO NOT BRING ALCOHOL! It is not allowed at BSA Events. You will be asked to leave.

Do bring a good attitude and a willingness to help, we will also need a health form, if you haven't turned one in. Youth Protection Training is a good idea too.
