Broad River Campground

Tips from campers about Broad River Campground

  David and Debbie Sarasota Beach on Siesta Key is beautiful, but you need to go early to get a parking space. The Ringling Museum and grounds were a nice way to spend the day, especially if you are a circus buff. The botanical gardens are interesting as they specialize in air plants, such as orchids. Our favorite though was Myakka River State Park, which we found had nice looking campgrounds. This is a great place to watch alligators.

  retiree19 A couple of restaurants stood out in the area. The closest one was the Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar, just up Tamiami from the park. The other was the Columbia Restaurant on St. Armands Circle. The restaurant is great, but St. Armands Circle is worth a visit in itself. The Ringling museum is fabulous. There is a scale model of a circus from back in the big top days that includes everything from the train cars in the rail yard to the big top itself. I'd never had an understanding of what a logistical challenge it was to move a city of a couple hundred people, including all the animals, every two or three days. Aside from this there are tons of informative exhibits about the different types of acts associated with the circus. I could go to this museum again, plus the grounds are extraordinary.
