Lake Kissimmee

Great place to visit in your way (or back) to Orlando from Miami. The state park has a great environment, places to camp, to plug your RV and trails. We also saw many people phishing. There are many restrooms along the park and plenty of parking spaces. We saw many wildlife. It was a great experience - recommend it if you like being outdoors.

Another one of FL beautiful state parks and campgrounds. We camped for a couple of days. Campground sites are quite large, well kept and spread out so you don't feel crowded with electric and water hookups throughout. This park has one of the nicest bathroom facilities I have seen at any FL state park campground. Park itself is beautiful. Lots of wildlife and trails for hiking and a paved main road for riding bikes. Park grounds are very expansive. There is a boat ramp onto the lake in the park, playground for the kids, observation tower and lots of parking. They also stage a "cow camp" where you can see how old FL cracker cowboys used to live, also have an equestrian portion of the park but we didn't explore that area. The park is located in a very rural FL and is not close to any gas stations/grocery stores. Not really a problem if you are trying get away from things for a quiet camping experience but plan accordingly. Only downside we experienced was the caterpillars. There is a resident STINGING caterpillar species that was prominent in the park when we were there. Not really an issue. Just something you have to avoid touching, they were EVERYWHERE though so you gotta watch out for them falling onto you when under trees and watch your kids and animals closely. The park has sign up when the caterpillars are active. Over all great experience.

Beautiful campground. The restrooms are very clean and well maintained. There is a washer and dryer available at $1.25 for each. We did get showered with caterpillars, but think that is just due to it being late March. We are from SW Florida and we're happy that there wasn't a burn ban there yet and we could have a bonfire. We will schedule here again!

We stayed in one of the Pioneer Tents and had an incredible time! The tent is located inside the inner loop near the bathhouse, but feels so secluded and private. There was tons of wildlife to be seen, sometimes a bit too close for comfort. The tent itself was wonderful, with a very comfortable queen sized bed and super soft clean sheets, and it had an air conditioner! The only problem with the tent and campsite was that the tent flaps didn’t seal at the bottom, and when we arrived it was evident that raccoons had come in and opened all the coffee supplies (creamer included) and walked over the bed, leaving little footprints across the white bedspread. The raccoons are not afraid at all of humans and will come as close as you will allow them, and they need to be dealt with. Other than that, the stay was wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone!

Absolutely awesome experience! You're greeted by a friendly ranger who checks you in and gives you the run down on park ammentities. The campsite was pretty private. The showers were hot. They have several trails different distances depending on how much you want to walk. I even got close to some of the local wildlife. Would recommend and will visit again. 💯
