Myakka River 'camping'

We spent a day at Myakka River where we did a hike that includes a 'canopy walk' - a hanging bridge between two observation towers - as well as a canoe through alligator-infested waters. While we tried to keep our distance, on several occasions alligators startled as we passed and slid into the water. I was convinced they would soon turn up under our boat ready to attack but they left us alone. I still made the kids keep their hands in the canoe, just in case.
We had reserved a campsite that, it turned out, what completely paved even though it was rated as a tent or RV site. We had no interest in sleeping on asphalt, so we stayed long enough to have dinner and a campfire and then came home and slept in our own beds.
