Mission: To preserve a sample of Florida�s original habitats,
in the Little
Manatee River Watershed, and to use this Center
for the purpose of promoting
appreciation and understanding of
our natural resources and of our local
culture and history.
Camp Bayou is a public- private partnership between the
non-profit Ruskin Community Development Foundation, Inc. (RCDF) and Hillsborough
County Parks, Recreation and Conservation. Camp Bayou is located 3 miles south
of SR674 at the end of 24th St SE in Ruskin.
Camp Bayou is nether a
campground nor a summer camp. It was an RV park before the County's ELAPP
program purchased the land but it is now open for day use only, open to the
general public. Through volunteers, donations, membership and grants, the RCDF
offers pre-scheduled programs to schools, youth groups, adult groups and
families plus it's open from Thursday- Saturday from 9am-2pm for passive
recreational pursuits such as wildlife watching.
