Limited to a 36 foot camper. 30/50 amp hookup, water and sewer. Tent camping is also available. Close to horse back riding, Lake Istokpoga Park is less than 5 miles for great fishing and boat ramp access. Highlands Hammock State Park is close by. Sebring International Raceway is near by as well. 80 miles to either Florida coast and 2 hrs south of Orlando. Just a disclaimer; Sebring Raceway is 7 miles away and if the wind is right you can hear the cars racing, also, lake Istokpoga is big for airboats so we do hear them running some. We look forward to hosting you and we will do our best to make it a fun stay!

Neither of the lakes are EVER that crowded even in the height of Snow Bird season! Other closeby attractions include: 15 miles to Sebring Raceway or Bok Tower Gardens 20 miles to Legoland, Walk-in-the-Water Preserve, or the River Ranches 25 miles to the Chain-of-lakes in Winter Haven 45 miles from Disney 60 miles from Tampa 80 miles from the Space Coast The property is located in Florida's wildlife corridor and there are short walking or biking trails that weave through and all around our pine forested acreage where all types of Florida wildlife; grey heron, sandhill crane, wild turkeys, bobwhite quail, armadillos, racoon, even have some otter have been spotted... even Florida's endangered Panther has been spotted recently just a few of miles away at the Kissimmee Preserve... we've never seen an alligator on the property or in the pond, but this is Florida, so use caution around any body of water. Several tent sites and two Rv sites available.

Our peaceful Fish Camp & Funny Farm features a picturesque, palm-shaded open area (with boat dock) on magical Lake Marion! The fenced-in property features our Serenity Garden, complete with swinging hammocks under shady, swaying palm trees. The premises is pet friendly (with dogs on property) and ideal for fishing, swimming, as well as boating/kayaking (if you're feeling adventurous) along with a washer/dryer for your convenience and a Serenity Garden for your peace of mind. No power hookups or dump for RVs (yet!) but there are extension cords and options available for small conveniences! Swimming is allowed in the beautiful blue lake, however this is Florida so be advised: Wherever there is water, there are Alligators! Camping and swimming IS at your own risk as you escape the hustle 'n bustle of Central Florida (Orlando Attractions 90mins away) but isn't life itself a risk?
