I had a beautiful date with my fiance here at the gasparillo Island State Park. He packed us a lunch and we went to have a picnic. At first I was worried about the mosquitoes but it ended up not being that bad. The view though in the shape of the island it's overall incredible it's absolutely gorgeous a must see..

What is the hotel nearest the Gasparilla Island State Park? We would very much like to spend a lot of time in the Park weekend of November 30 - December 2, 2018. Thank you, Karen & Bill Ryan

Hi 1st we are only Google Local Guides who try our best to help with any questions that many people ask. The BEST way for HOTELS closest to the park is to ask Google to locate hotels near the park and it will show you how far, cost and can even make reservations for you too. It's not that difficult to use either. Enjoy the park! I myself are heading down to Florida just a wee bit north of the park in 2 weeks. Yipeee time to see my Granddaughters and enjoy the weather. So Mr and Mrs Ryan enjoy the weather and that weekend too. Good luck
