More lift, less waiting

Two Twin Otters and two Cessna 208 Caravans fly here year-round. For Winterfest a third Otter and a Casa join the flight line — six aircraft turning loads, so you spend the week jumping instead of waiting on the ground.

Twin Otters: 3
Cessna 208 Caravans: 2
Casa: 1
Aircraft on the line: 6

New for Winterfest: the Casa. Big door, big loads, and a step up in capacity for the biggest formations of the week.

Sleep on the dropzone

Five days over New Year’s — most people stay put. You can park a trailer, pitch a tent, or take a room in town. On-DZ slots and the local skydiver rates both go quickly over the holidays, so sort it early.

Full-service trailers
Electric, sewer and water. Full-size fridge, stovetop, oven, A/C and heat. Private bathroom and shower, sleeps up to six — by the night, for the length of your stay. Reservable online.
Bring your own rig
Full-service slots with electric, sewer and water, or electric-only 20-amp and 30-amp slots. Reservable online. A yellow tag must be displayed.
Camping
No-hookup camping — RV, vehicle or tent — on the dropzone. Registered at Manifest rather than online. Laundry and shower houses on site.
Hotels in town
Quality Inn, Roadstar, Microtel and Hampton Inn are all close by, plus Best Western at Plant City and Hyatt Place at Wesley Chapel.

Reserve an RV slot or trailer

RV slots and full-service trailers book online; tent camping is registered at Manifest. For questions, current rates or anything the booking system won’t take, call Manifest on 813-783-9399 or see the full lodging & accommodations page. Almost every hotel in the area runs a skydiver rate — say you’re jumping at Skydive City when you book.
