"This park is the nicest campground in okeechobee its very clean and well taken care of and the staff is so nice and helpful and the spot are nice and big and not too close to each other."
"It's a very busy place on the holidays...If you want quiet those days, I don't suggest you go there...There is also a Golf Course, Golf Cart Rental, A nice updated store, A fenced in Dog park...**"
"Only downside is that while the park is dog friendly, it’s a bit tough to walk the dogs since there aren’t really any paths so you need to walk on the road with golf carts, cars and other people walking"
"There is usually a ton of people that like to hang out around Lake Okeechobee but here it was really nice. There were only a few families but you can get away if you needed to."
"The picnic area has been upgraded and there has been a dog walk integrated with available poop stations. There are cabins on the lake that can be rented out and empty lots as well for campers/rv’s."
"This campground is only an hour away from most spots in South Florida, but it feels much further removed. We were able to get a reservation for tent/van camping the same day."
"Nature trail and observation deck is amazing. Take the kids, take your bicycles and take your dog. We had a blast!"

ScoutNear lake okeechobee, large camp ground, affordable.
TravelerNice pools. Friendly staff. WiFi exclusively available at pool area. Plenty outdoor activities possible. Lake Okeechobee very nearby.
GuideOne of the finer older campgrounds in Florida, peaceful and serene. Located on the rim canal of Lake Okeechobee, we stayed for two nights to go to the Hendry County Speedway for dirt track racing and basically caught a Bass every time we cast a line. The only reason I did not rate them a 5 was due to the shower facility, it’s in need of a renovation. friendly staff and a quiet fishing atmosphere. We will stay there again!!!
GuideThere is usually a ton of people that like to hang out around Lake Okeechobee but here it was really nice. There were only a few families but you can get away if you needed to. The finishing in this area is really good so if you have any free time, just throw a line out.
TravelerThis campground offers one of the best lakefront views in all of Florida—truly a hidden gem if you’re looking to camp right on the water. The sunsets over Lake Okeechobee are absolutely breathtaking and unlike anywhere else in the state.
The campground does include a pool, which is a nice touch, but unfortunately the amenities are quite limited. The office is closed on Sundays, so plan ahead if you need assistance or have questions during your stay.
The biggest downside was the condition of the restrooms—they were in very poor shape and had a strong, unpleasant odor. This definitely impacted the overall experience.
With a little maintenance and more attention to guest services, this place could easily be a five-star destination. For now, come for the view, but manage your expectations for everything else.
ScoutGreat place for a stop over. Needed a place to hangout for a few weeks. This place fit the bill. Dog park, little restaurant, general store, pool, basketball court and lots of shaded spots (my fave when in Florida) would definitely recommend.
LegendI stopped here because I needed a place to sleep and the nearby campgrounds were full. I was pleased to find that St. Lucie South was not only a good place to spend the night, but an enjoyable experience in its own right. This is a COE campground built adjacent to a lock. The waterway is a canal that connects Lake Okeechobee to the Atlantic. The campground isn't particularly large, but it is very nicely landscaped. Plenty of grass and tall trees.
I stayed in one of the three primitive tent sites. Each of these comes with a tree, a gravel tent pad, and a small picnic shelter. There is a water spigot nearby, and bathrooms with flushing toilets, hot and cold running water, and showers are located up the road a ways. These were fairly clean when I visited.
There were lots of interesting animals to observe here, including flying fish, big tree lizards, big frogs that hopped out of the canal and onto my tent at night, and something that I'm fairly certain was a gator but never got a good look at. Unfortunately, there was also a large mosquito population that made things not so fun after nightfall.
My neighbors here were also a bit distracting. They were a very loud family who appeared to be living at the tent site next to mine.
LegendWe camped here in June. Yes it was hot and sweaty but thats what the lake is for. This is very sweet free camping. Theres maybe 10 sites here and you can't quite literally take a boat to the campsite. There other boats that come and go throughout the day and can be really noisy. Whatever were camping by boat.
Lake Okeechobee is pretty sweet there are tons of little inlets and outlets all over the place to explore and fish. We actually caught a gator. Ive been looking for the pictures but haven't been able to find them. If you arrive here by boat you need (absolutely need) to go the fresh water spring near by. Its incredible.You leave the out and head up a little creek and arrive at an oasis. i can't remember the name of the spring but its a bass and manatee frenzy there. I wish i could find the rest of pictures and the name of the spring...ask around I'm sure someone will know.
Cheers!
GuideReally had a fantastic time at this campground, I'm typically a tent camper and had great facilities. The cost of camping in Florida isn't cheap though this one actually had the value in it given that you could also rent boats and paddle up river alongside manatees to the wild man encampment. Amazing hiking nearby, the tower to check out, even a little mini museum with reptiles. I enjoyed it so much I would go back.
