Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Koreshan State Park adventure.
Peek into Florida’s pioneer history at this unique state park.
History takes centerstage at Koreshan State Park. Discover the fascinating legacy of the Koreshans, a religious sect led by Dr. Cyrus R. Teed, who were among Florida’s most unique pioneers. Gain an insight into their communal lifestyles as you explore the restored late 19th- and early 20th-century buildings and learn their eccentric beliefs about the universe. Then, recreate your own utopia as you check into the state campground, hike along bamboo-shaded trails, enjoy wildlife-watching and bird-watching along the Estero River, or take to the water to boat, paddle, or fish. Koreshan Campground has space for tents and RVs up to 40 feet, all with electric and water hookups. Some campsites even have spots to hang your hammock.
The Koreshan historic settlement is open daily from 8am to 5pm, and both the state park and campground are open year-round. It’s busiest over the summer months when the wooded park provides welcome shade from the heat, and with the Gulf Coast beaches a short drive away, the campground makes a popular alternative to the busy coastal resorts.
