About

Koreshan State Park Campground provides 60 wooded campsites nestled along the scenic Estero River in Southwest Florida. All sites include electric (30 or 50-amp) and water hookups, with 12 designated tent-only sites located closest to the river. The campground offers a unique camping experience within the boundaries of the preserved Koreshan Unity Settlement, a utopian community that thrived here from 1894 into the early 1900s. Campers can explore 11 restored historic buildings, stroll through bamboo trails cultivated by the original settlers, and visit the industrial area featuring a 1929 Fairbanks-Morse engine. The park's gardens reflect Victorian elegance and Arts and Crafts design. Nature trails meander along the Estero River where visitors can fish, launch kayaks and canoes, and observe wildlife including gopher tortoises, river otters, and over 100 bird species. Seasonal campfire programs run Friday nights from January through March. The campground includes modern amenities with four ADA-accessible paved sites, a dump station, laundry facilities, and restrooms. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring with vegetation buffers providing privacy between sites. The park is open daily from 8 a.m. until sunset year-round.
