Cortez, Florida

 

We are staying at Lake Manatee State Park located on SR 64 about 10-miles east of Bradenton, FL. where we are paying $18 a night for water and 30-amps. The campground has paved interior roads with sand/shell sites and a central dump station. The main attraction for us is the $18 rate. Campgrounds in the area are generally full during the winter *snow bird* season and run around $50 a night.

 

While staying in this area we take day trips. Today we are visiting Cortez.
