Sheltered in an oak grove along the Braden River, Horseshoe Cove is 5-star all the way from its well-maintained resort amenities to its picturesque private island park. Pack a lunch and spend an afternoon on our 12-acre island observing wildlife from the comfort of our screened-in picnic pavilion or bird watching along our nature trails. The island is an angler’s paradise with its boat docks, fish cleaning station and its well-light fishing pier - perfect for a little night fishing.
Primarily a 55+ community, families are more than welcome for short-term stays at Manatee County’s highest rated RV resort. Offering the best in creature comforts, our 475 full-hookup sites have both cable TV and wireless internet services available, plus our grounds feature four laundry rooms, three bathhouses and a dog walk for our pet-owning guests.
For our rally goers we maintain an expansive recreation center which features a library, billiards and darts, a sewing room and a card room. The entertainment options continue outdoors with our shuffleboard court, horseshoe pits and Petanque court for the game players, and a heated swimming pool and hot tub for our guests who’d rather relax. During the winter months our activities schedule becomes a social whirlwind packed with bingo, crafts, potluck dinners, woodworking, coffee hours, dances, pool parties, movie nights and music.
While Horseshoe Cove itself provides a peaceful retreat, nearby neighborhoods are alive with activity. For water sport enthusiasts who want more adventure than Horseshoe Cove’s river and pool offer – it’s just a short drive from our resort to some of the gulf coast’s most beautiful beaches. Sports fans can take in a Pittsburgh Pirates game at McKechnie Field in Bradenton or head to Sarasota to watch the spring training of the Baltimore Orioles. If museums are more your speed, check out the Sarasota Classic Car Museum, the Florida Railroad museum, the Ringling Museum of Art and the Ringling Circus Museum.
