Whitfield camping overview
Whitfield is an unincorporated community in Manatee County on the northeast shore of Sarasota Bay, sitting between Bradenton to the north and Sarasota to the south. It is about six miles north of downtown Sarasota and roughly the same distance south of Bradenton, the main city in Manatee County. The area shares a Sarasota mailing address and sits within the Bradenton-Sarasota-North Port metro, making it a practical base for RV travelers exploring Florida's central Gulf Coast.
RV travelers staying near Whitfield can choose from several full-service private resorts within a short drive. Arbor Terrace RV Resort, Vista Del Lago MH & RV Resort, Tropical Gardens RV Park, and Sarasota Lakes RV Resort all sit within the Sarasota-Bradenton corridor and cater to snowbirds, weekenders, and long-stay guests.
The location works well for visitors combining beach days on Anna Maria Island, Lido Key, and Siesta Key with inland trips to state parks and wildlife areas. Sarasota Bradenton International Airport is the nearest airport, with Tampa International also within reach.
Things to do near Whitfield
The biggest outdoor draw in the area is Myakka River State Park, about 30 minutes east of Whitfield. The park protects more than 37,000 acres of hammocks, pine forests, dry prairies, and wetlands with alligators, wading birds, and other wildlife, and offers kayaking, canoeing, guided tram and boat tours, birdwalk boardwalks, mountain biking, hiking trails, and a canopy walkway with a treetop tower.
Gulf beaches are the other main attraction. Anna Maria Island, Longboat Key, Lido Key, and Siesta Key are all within a short drive and offer swimming, shelling, fishing piers, and sunset viewing. Sarasota adds the Ringling Museum complex, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, and Mote Marine Laboratory for rainy-day options.
Closer to Whitfield itself, community parks and the Sarasota Bay shoreline provide easy walking, picnicking, and bird viewing without a long drive from the campground.

Excellent Campervan Experience We recently rented a campervan to travel to Savannah and Northern Georgia. We had a great time, thanks to the excellent orientation provided by Morgan. We truly had everything we needed, from a French Press to start our days out right to a comfy bed that accommodated two adults comfortably. It was an amazing experience, with all the comforts of home while still being able to connect with nature. Morgan was a phenomenal host and we can't recommend him highly enough!
