About the host
Hosted by Camp Manatee Team
Our family visited the Fort White area several years ago and immediately fell in love with the springs the natural areas and all it has to offer! We came back every summer and missed it as soon as we left. So we decided to purchase a property here. Camp Manatee was established as a short-term vacation rental in 2022 so that others can share in our love for this magical place and make special memories of their very own!
Why they chose this property
Did you know that the Santa Fe River is fed by 36 named major springs? Countless other unnamed minor and micro springs dot the river, just waiting to be discovered and explored. Within walking or kayaking distance is the majestic Ichetucknee River. Tube or kayak down the crystal blue rivers and enjoy the towering hundreds of years old cypress trees that shoulder the shorelines. The Ichetucknee State Park is a five-minute drive away. Here there are multiple springs and amenities to enjoy.
Numerous other springs are located within minutes of Camp Manatee. Downtown High Springs with its quaint shops and restaurants is approximately 20 minutes away and the University of Florida and Gainesville are approximately 40 minutes from Camp Manatee.
Of course, if you visit us in the late fall, winter, and even in the early spring months you may catch a glimpse of our favorite manatee visitors!
Whether you want to adventure the abundant beautiful springs in the area kayaking, swimming, tubing, snorkeling, or scuba diving, or if you just want to kick back and relax and get back in tune with nature, Camp Manatee has everything you are looking for.
Want to hit the sights by boat? We have you covered! Ask us about our brand new Pontoon Boat Rental to learn more about taking it out to visit the springs from the river!
There is truly something for everyone!

What makes this property unique
Camp Manatee is a magical estate situated on approximately 3 acres with over 650 feet of Santa Fe River frontage. Camp Manatee is a stilt home elevated over the ground by 30+ feet. This gives you an incredible vantage point of the expansive property from the home and wrap-around porches.
Adjacent to Camp Manatee is a vacant, developed 25-acre parcel that is accessible to guests of Camp Manatee. Directly across the river is the Fort White Wildlife Environmental Area (FWWEA) which will always be untouched and never built upon. That means tons of privacy and completely surrounded by nature.
This natural area is perfect for exploring, hunting, and fishing and comprises over 1,600 acres of natural land. All of this area plays host to a wide array of wildlife and birds that enhance the experience of stays at Camp Manatee.
