We only spent a night getting in late and leaving early so we didn't get to enjoy all the amenities. But Toni was very welcoming, all the information was well prepared and easy to follow, and the evening was quiet and enjoyable. We would stay again!

This was my first time using this app, so I didn’t know what to expect… and let me say that it far exceeded my expectations! Vito the owner couldn’t be more friendly and accommodating! I had an issue that was a million percent my fault… I cut the corner too tight coming in and got stuck in the ditch. If this happens to you, just call Priority Towing and they’ll come get you out the way you went in!!! Vito was so helpful throughout that whole thing! The property is beautiful and peaceful. If you have dogs, there is a very well-kept backyard, but you can also walk them on the sidewalk of the main road. Would most definitely recommend this very cool and hip camp!

This site is a hidden gem. It was perfect for a weekend getaway. It was easy to find and hook up at the site. The view out your front door is beautiful pines. The site has a picnic table with an umbrella for shade as well as a firepit. At night there are lights and a bug zapper to make it comfortable outside. The best part is the fabulous pool just behind your site. The pool has great seating options, shade and a hot tub. Our dogs also loved the site. Our hosts were responsive and supportive. We will definitely visit this site again!

A beautiful location with great amenities and ample privacy! I was pleasantly surprised by this luxurious hipcamp. The host was very accommodating and the location was super convenient. I like to visit relatives in West Palm but the busy traffic chaos overwhelms me a little. This was a perfect place to be close enough to everything but with a quiet retreat.

I loved staying at Toni’s, the location is great specially if you want to head to Lion country safari, it is only a 10 minute drive. The spot where you park your RV is even and surrounded by trees. There is also a great spot to do a camp fire and they even provided some fire food even though we forgot ours but you can buy everything you need at a Publix also 10 minutes or less away. I would 100% stay here again they were awesome!

The hosts are pleasant and accommodating! The property is well maintained, and we had a lovely stay. We have three dogs who loved running around the property off leash, and the dirt roads all around we're enjoyable for on leash walks or bike rides. The site is right next to the house, yet we felt alone, facing the opposite direction in our 38 ft Class A RV with 3 slide outs. The site has a nice bonfire pit which we enjoyed at night, and there are wild adorable bunnies everywhere! If you require 30 amp electrical hook up, make sure you have an adapter for a 115 volt house plug. However, we had the option to run our generator all day and night. It's a perfect spot to stay a day or two to breakup a long road trip, or to stay for a change of scenery. There is plenty to do within 3 mikes,such as go to a park that has hiking, biking and kayaking. We were content taking walks along the neighborhood dirt roads. Very peaceful and quiet. We stayed an extra night!

Where to go

Lake Okeechobee

Situated right beside Clewiston, campers won’t have to travel far to enjoy the 730 square miles of Lake Okeechobee—the second largest freshwater lake in the United States. Lake Okeechobee boasts excellent bass fishing, scenic airboat tours, and bird watching. But swimming is not recommended thanks to the 30,000 gators that call the lake home. Take in the scenery by walking or biking sections of the 110-mile waterfront trail circling the lake. With cabin rentals, RV campgrounds, and tent campsites nearby, Hipcampers have plenty of choices to experience what Lake Okeechobee offers.

Everglades National Park

Rare wildlife species, old-growth cypress trees, and swampy wetlands are all under two hours away from Clewiston in Everglades National Park. This biodiverse area offers 1.5 million acres of boundless natural beauty. Drive Alligator Alley (I-75) or Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) to view as much as possible. There are plenty of walking trails to get closer to the action, like the popular 14-mile Shark Valley Tram Trail. Roll the RV right into a campsite equipped with bathrooms, electrical hookups, dump stations, and water-filling stations. Or opt for a tent campground featuring fire rings and pit toilets.

Miami

Bursting with Art Deco-inspired architecture, a lively nightlife, world-renowned art galleries, and delicious Cuban food, Miami offers campers unforgettable experiences. Glamp at a luxurious yurt campsite with a queen-size bed and flush toilets before heading out to explore Little Havana’s upbeat Latin American community or visiting Wynwood Walls, an outdoor street museum showcasing vibrant murals by local and international artists. Make a pit stop at Bayfront Park, a 32-acre green space in the heart of downtown Miami, to wander through the waterfront walkway, see outdoor sculptures, or take the kids to the Lee & Tina Hills Playground.

When to go

Campers will find two distinct seasons in Clewiston, Florida: The dry season running from November until April, and the wet season starting in May and lasting until October. March, April, and May are the best months to visit, with March drawing the most crowds due to Spring Break and the Clewiston Sugar Festival. Most wildlife sightings occur in the dry season between November and April, so opt for those months to increase the chances of spotting a rare Florida Panther. Temperatures rarely dip below 70°F, so campers can expect warm, humid weather year-round.
