Camp
Bayou Outdoor Learning Center is neither a campground nor a summer
camp. It was an RV park before the County's ELAP program purchased the
land but it is now open for day use only, open to the general public.
Through volunteers, donations, supporters and grants, the managing
non-profit- B.O.L.D.
- offers pre-scheduled programs to schools, youth groups, adult groups
and families. Monthly canoe tours are now available by reservation only.
Check the online calendar
for trip dates. The Center is open from Thursday- Saturday from 9am-2pm
for passive recreational pursuits such as
wildlife watching, nature photography and trail walks. General
admission is still FREE.
The
Camp Bayou Outdoor Learning Center is a public- private partnership
between Bayou Outdoor Learning and Discovery, Inc. (B.O.L.D.), 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. Check out the Camp Bayou Facebook page and for more
