Wonderful Place

We stayed here a couple of years ago and loved the piece and quiet! My husband enjoyed riding his fat tire along with our dog. We are hoping to visit again in February!

Secluded and well maintained

This is reclaimed land from an old phosphate mine.

The mine was closed 20 years ago and the land was reclaimed and turned into a beautified park and campground. The trees have had time to mature. There are four lakes, campsites are located on one of the bigger lakes. Like all parks some site are better than others, none are bad.  We had the end site on the lake that was very private. The campground and amenities  are extremely well maintained.

Lots of very nice trails around the lakes and surrounding woods. the trial's are wide and hard backed. we were able to ride our electric scoters on them easily.  Park is located in a rural area of central Florida. We used is as a halfway stop when traveling form the west coast to the east coast of Florida. 

Tip: There are two brothers that sell firewood not to far from the campground.

You can go there your self or they will deliver to you. Camp office can give you their contact info.

Great Get Away

Hardee Lakes Park is a nice quiet park. Camp sites are nice and clean, with beautiful lake views.

Stayed at a non-electric site right on the lake. Fire pit is great and camp hosts even recommended a local small biz that will bring you firewood.

Trail system is great from dirt paths to boardwalks to cut straight through the woods.

Bath house was clean and in good working order.

Overall a great quiet place to visit for a connection with nature.
