Incredible experience if you’re trying to get away from the city and enjoy some fresh air, definitely call before coming because when I went they only had 1 trail opened.

This is a beautiful park. It has lovely trails and some river rapids. I believe it costs at least $6 to get in. They have bathrooms and picnic tables at the entrance only.

We've camped at Hillsborough River twice now and look forward to returning in the future. It's a spacious park with nice trails for hiking and biking. We've actually never been able to enjoy the river, as the first time it was raining terribly, and the second time the river was almost completely dried up behind our site. It's still a really nice park with plenty of sites, clean bathrooms and peace and quiet.

Pet friendly and large campsites by the river. Lots of shade, to consider when wanting to get sun on the solar panels. Camp site is sandy, not paved. Women’s bathroom was clean but men’s was not. Pool and cafe was closed. Spotted a few alligators in the river, by the canoe launch inside camp area. Canoes, kayaks and bikes available for rent. You can bring your own and launch it for free if you have a paid camp site, otherwise there is a fee.
