Enjoy the waters of Lake Okeechobee safely from shore while RV camping near Okeechobee.
Lake Okeechobee is home to the highest alligator population in Florida, so it’s best enjoyed from a boat or an RV on the shoreline. Luckily, many RV parks, private campgrounds, and backcountry campsites all around Okeechobee include access to potable water and picnic tables, plus electrical and water hookups—some are even pet-friendly. Line up lakeside for easy access to the water, then cast out to catch largemouth bass or speckled perch while staying alert for those infamous Florida gators. Or, explore the 110-mile scenic trail surrounding the lake by foot or by bike, with options for an easy stroll or a long-distance challenge featuring water-filled views. Complete the road trip with a journey to the coast, where RVers can explore Everglades National Park or one of many national wildlife preserves. The best part? Florida’s favorable weather provides year-round warmth with highs over 90°F in the summer and lows averaging 75°F in the winter.
