Best Campgrounds near Sebring, FL

Sebring, Florida has several good camping options within easy reach. Highlands Hammock State Park Campground sits between Fort Pierce and Bradenton, with trails and wildlife throughout the park. Lake Kissimmee State Park Campground shows off classic Florida scenery with plenty of room to set up camp. You'll need to make reservations at both parks, especially from December through March when northerners come down for the winter. Book as far ahead as possible since these spots fill quickly during peak season. Follow the posted rules about fires and maximum stays at each campground. Keep your food secured since Florida's wildlife will definitely come looking for an easy meal. Most campsites come with bathrooms and picnic tables, which works well for families. If you're bringing kids, check which campgrounds have activities they might enjoy. Summer camping means dealing with Florida's heat and humidity, so bring extra water and sunscreen. Winter brings much more comfortable temperatures for hiking and being outdoors. Rain can come up suddenly year-round, so pack accordingly. Check the weather forecast for your planned dates to avoid any surprises. With some advance planning, camping around Sebring can be a great time.

    Lake Kissimmee State Park Campground

    Laid back camping

    Nice spot to just get away and relax. Lots of hiking trails and some wildlife. Deers all around even among the campsites. Some tours available close by for airboats. We will be back here again.

    Oak Hammock Resort

    Beautiful campground

    Very welcoming, clean and well kept park. The owners were very friendly and communicative. There’s a store on site that I bought a T-shirt from and also a little game room that we enjoyed with pool and air hockey. I stayed by the pond where is was quiet but you might encounter a water puppy.

    Happy Chile Farm

    "Not Perfect, But Perfectly Fine (Especially with Great Hosts)"

    The camper feels like a time capsule — gently worn by the years, with repairs done in the spirit of “just enough to hold.” It's not spotless, but everything works. The A/C, positioned thoughtfully right by the bed, delivers both cold air and the soothing sound of a leaf blower. Showers inside and out did the job. No real hot water, unless you count the sun-warmed pipes — which, on a 90°F day, made for a surprisingly pleasant rinse. The kitchen’s got what you need, the gas grill works, and the fire pit area is a nice bonus. Wi-Fi (via Starlink) held up well. Photos and description are accurate — no unpleasant surprises, unless you were expecting spotless luxury. And the hosts? Genuinely kind, helpful, and easygoing — the kind of people who make the whole stay feel better, no matter what the camper looks like.

    All in all, if you know what you’re getting into, I’d absolutely recommend the place.

    Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins Auburndale

    Great high-end campground

    We love this Margaritaville location! The staff is always friendly, they've got a great splash pad and playground for the kids, a water slide, and two larger pools for kids and adults. There are nice bathrooms with showers (soaps provided) and a laundry room. This is significantly more expensive than we typically spend camping, but we like to splurge for a weekend here and there. Site 142 is right across from the bath house and very convenient to the pool/splash pad area as well.

    Hardee Lakes Park

    Fantastic Campgroudnd

    My experience was great with my pup! Primitive sites were $20 a night at time of writing.

    We stayed in a primitive site(p14) with water. I was excited to discover all these primitive wites with water are right on the lake.

    There’s no alcohol allowed which is a double edged sword, but I welcomed this rule as there always seems to be groups partying at public campsites. Not here.

    Bathrooms are typical campsite bathroom. They have showers too for campers.

    It’s a dirt road campsite, but they have water trucks that spray a few times a day to keep the dust down. So thankful for that!

    RV pull sites and promote. campsites are far enough away from each other.

    Nearest major grocery store is wal-mart about 15 minutes away.

    Only iffy thing I’d call out is how tight the primitive campsites are to each other. It was dead when I came, but had my neighboring sites been occupied, I wouldn’t have enjoyed my time as much.

    Cypress Campground & RV Park

    Think Twice before you go here

    Let’s start by saying we were excited the first year we went to this campground back in 2021. It was our first experience at being a snowbird and we had a great time. However as each year passed and our fourth year came to an end for our 6/6 agreement the campground had lost its identity and an under current could be felt which lead to our reduced enjoyment, pleasure and clicks were a major part. As the park lost their good snowbirds they were replaced with a whole different type of person. The rec hall where many events are held turned from a discreet drinking scene to a drunk festival as every event was replaced with 40 oz bottles, moonshine, Jell-O shots and pudding shots leading to a quick deterioration. Watching a married women basically sitting on men laps feeding them shots was the new norm. During our last event a hillbilly theme party one person thought it would be cool to drop his pants three times and no one said anything even with management there. Frankly yes he had a bathing suit but seriously show some class it’s a family park not an adult club. The same person danced with a women who basically lost her pants to her ankles, It’s a shame a respectful park became this and most left events by 7 or 8 pm due to situations. In addition it you like the pool for swimming good luck the volleyball people called Bullyball by some young children took over the pool’s shallow end even when it was not scheduled they pushed their way into the pool setting up their net. This went on for a few years and resulted in several awkward moments at the pool in which management did nothing they allowed it to continue however this year was absolutely out of control. This caused many campers to leave the park as the pool kept being overrun during the prime time 3 pm even if it was not scheduled. By end March push back began and people intentionally loaded up the pool blocking the volleyball players when they tried to start a game during non scheduled times. The Landry areas are a joke they raised the price despite many machines not operating correctly including frying your clothes, not rinsing soap, no cold water only hot water. The washrooms in general are in a desperate need for a full gut and renovation. They are often dirty and not presentable for use. All the pictures you see are a far cry from the true reality and the condition of park today there are old outdated photos. Most of the grass is dead or killed off, most pads are all broken up this includes both the pad and patios. The dumpsters are constantly overflowing as 2 is not enough for the amount of lots, in addition there are rules however these rules are not enforced or for all. This includes drinking and driving golf carts there is even 1 golf cart that is literally a mobile bar. Evidently pot and medicinal pot smokers are a criteria at this campground as no matter where you are If you enjoy the smell of pot it is a multiple daily event this has degraded yearly. It is a shame that this park in a wonderful location has raised it rates$1500.00 per season over our time yet needs serious work. It appears that there is little direction by Management to lead its employees and organize a schedule of maintenance as well as impose the rules.

    Ortona South

    Nice and peaceful

    It’s a quiet campground with the Okeechobee waterway flowing right next to it. It’s located at the Loch and Dam so we have watched several boats. Large sites, very large sites. Clean restrooms, nice staff, basically like we always find at COE.
