St Petersburg Fishing Pier Skyway Bridge 24/7 Designated Camping Area (Rest Area)

Great place to stay a few nights or more. Some stay here all winter. There is water on the rest area side, this is the south side. If yo want to camp and don't want to go to St Pete, then be sure to turn off at the rest area otherwise you will have to go all the way across the Skyway Bridge and do a U turn which is about a 40 minute drive on a good day.

Troopers just told everyone to move no parking. I have been staying here on and off for almost 2 months

I think it's interesting that at the 24s mark you're literally passing a "no parking on right of way" sign and trying to advertise it as a designated parking area. This isn't allowed there, you're just encouraging trespassing.

Where exactly is that please? And what does it cost?

[@calsvanlife6373]

It's between Tampa and St Pete, you can see it on a map. No cost

South side of the Skyway bridge, take south rest area exit, go west instead of east into rest area, it’s also the way to the south fishing pier, there is a daily charge for the pier but not this camping area
