We've been parked at Sportsmans Cove from late Winter to early Spring. We absolutely love it!! The area is quite and very pleasant. The neighborhood is romantic. Great fishing in the lake and in the cove. Showers, Laundry room and machines are very clean. The owner and workers are all very hospitable. Definitely our favorite place.

This is a quiet and peaceful campground. It's an older campground, but the owner is working on improving it. New bathrooms, laundry room, and office are in the process of being built, which will improve the resort. Friendly staff, great little town to walk our dog and they camp host has firewood for sale as well as boat and golf cart rental.

Relatively small but clean RV park. All sites are dirt or grass, no concrete pads, and there are a few small but old park model units. Great location on Orange Lake. Very quiet. Situated on the Great American Bird Trail and a great place to kayak out to see a good variety of birds. Boat docks are new, one with open slips and the other with covered slips and have lighting, water and electricity…with a fish cleaning station at one end and a custom built picnic table at the opposite end…very well done. There is a boat ramp with a canal that leads out onto Orange Lake. Unfortunately much of the canal is clogged with hydrilla. They have a machine to remove a lot of it only it has not been working for the past month or so. They also rent kayaks for a small fee and have a unique kayak loading ramp for easy entry and egress from the water. They had just built a wonderful viewing platform at the lake’s edge. To get there you must drive down Ave F in MacIntosh which is lined with beautiful old oak trees with a number of old Florida homes along the way…very quaint and picturesque.

Sportsmans Cove - where old campers, hopes & dreams go to die. Very sketchy campers & owners living there full time for what appears to be many years. Canal is long, shallow and full of grasses/weeds that would make it very difficult to get into orange lake to fish. Owner kept way too much of our two day deposit when we left after first night.

Loved staying here. The owner and staff are friendly. The campground is absolutely beautiful. It's pretty rustic, so don't expect 5 star amenities. The beauty of the place and it's surrounding town make up for that though. It's got old Florida fish camp vibes. Stunning views of the lake and sunrises over it. We can't wait to go back!!

Nice place to launch for orange lake.

Our camp site was excellent with a beautiful view across the lake. The bathroom and showers were well maintained and very clean. Great place to camp if you want to get away from crowds. Many antique shops in the area.

I am sad that several reviewers have really slammed this place. I spent Thanksgiving to Valentines Day 2015/2016 here in my class C RV with my then 4 cats. I really enjoyed living here. The sunrises were gorgeous. I loved walking around the town of McIntosh with a stray cat I later adopted and still have as well as riding my bike around all the back roads. It was a great transitional time in my life for a few months before I returned to working for the State of Florida in Tallahasse.

Small place, but clean showers/ restrooms, convenient boat dock, good wifi. I liked it.
