Torry Island Campground & Marina
Overview
Torry Island Campground & Marina offers a unique gateway to the natural beauty of South Florida. Located on the southeastern shores of Lake Okeechobee, this destination provides a serene escape for RVers looking to immerse themselves in a more authentic, rustic environment. The park is characterized by its proximity to the water and its role as a hub for outdoor recreation, making it a staple for those who appreciate the quiet charm of the Florida Everglades region.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in Belle Glade, Florida, the campground is uniquely positioned on an actual island within the lake, accessible by a historic manual swing bridge. The surrounding landscape is defined by vast sugar cane fields and the expansive waters of the nation’s second-largest freshwater lake. Visitors will find themselves surrounded by lush wetlands and open skies, providing a peaceful backdrop that feels worlds away from the bustling coastal cities and tourist-heavy corridors.
Amenities & Park Features
The facility caters to modern travelers with a variety of essential features designed for comfort and convenience. Guests can enjoy full hookup RV sites that accommodate both 30 and 50-amp service. The park also provides:
- Large paved sites and well-maintained interior roads.
- A full-service marina with multiple boat ramps for easy water access.
- On-site laundry facilities, clean restrooms, and showers.
- Direct access to the 110-mile Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail.
The presence of an adjacent golf course and ample green spaces adds to the recreational value of the park.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw for many visitors is the world-class bass fishing that Lake Okeechobee is famous for. Anglers and boaters can spend days exploring the marshes and open water. For those who prefer land-based activities, the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail (LOST) offers miles of paved and gravel paths for hiking and cycling atop the herbivorous levee. Birdwatching is also a top-tier activity here, as the area serves as a habitat for diverse species, including Everglade Snail Kites and various herons.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for dedicated anglers and nature enthusiasts who prioritize access to the water over resort-style luxury. It is perfect for travelers seeking a quiet, Old Florida atmosphere where the focus is on the environment and outdoor hobbies.

Terrible customer service by the manager by the name of Cindy! Tried to make a reservation and she was very rude! Computer system is out date and she would not take new address and was very condescending! We have full timed for 5 years and have never dealt with someone like her! Would never stay there as long as she is employed there.

It's a very small town with not much to do but get your peace and quiet. Perfect little place. And very clean. Watch out for alligators!

Great experience, beautiful,well kept campsites. Bait and tackle shop is right next door as well as a boat ramp. Great for fishing. Caught bass, catfish and talopia. Will definitely go back. Oh, and plenty of gators.

Stayed with inlaws. Such a peaceful very clean place. Wish we had more time. Lots to do or just relax and enjoy the time.

We love this campground and will return again if we are ever in this area again. It fairly quiet in a beautiful setting with plenty of activities to enjoy. We could have done with a little less smoke from the sugar cane fields but it is what it is. Thank you so much for maintaining such a nice park.
