27mi from Lake Placid · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to Okee Oasis, the ultimate stargazing retreat designed for vans, and tent campers! Located in a peaceful and spacious setting, our site offers a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. Whether you’re seeking a quiet night under the stars or a thrilling outdoor experience, Okee Oasis has it all.
At night, enjoy stargazing as the clear skies offer great views of constellations and shooting stars. If you’re in the mood for something more adventurous, Okee Oasis is close to areas for mudding, mudding events, fishing, kayaking. Hunters will also find this location ideal, with nearby areas perfect for hunting trips and outdoor exploration.
Our flat, open terrain makes it easy for all campers to set up, whether you’re arriving in an RV, van, or pitching a tent.
A Few Important Notes:
1. Irrigation Ditch:
There’s an irrigation ditch running through the middle of the campsite, so please be cautious when driving in. Be sure to stay to the right side to avoid any trouble.
2. Mosquito Tips:
The mosquitoes can be pretty intense, so I recommend bringing a Thermacell or two and any other mosquito repellent you prefer. When I camped, I kept a Thermacell inside my tent, which worked great to keep them out. Outside, even with two tiki torches, a fire, and a Thermacell, they were still landing on me. A heavy-duty Thermacell might be your best bet. Long sleeves and pants also helped a lot!
3. Site Updates:
There’s been some growth at the site since I first listed it on Hipcamp. The back area is still clear, but the middle front section needs mowing. Keep this in mind when setting up your campsite.
Also bring firewood. Sometimes there is firewood at the gas stations off the turnpike but it is expensive. Also, there is a subway right off the turnpike if you’re in a crunch for a quick meal

Tent
With kids
David (our host) was great! Site was beautiful and well maintained. Our family guys trip (kids - 17,16, and 4) had a great time. We ventured to Kissimmee Prairie Preserve for a hike, which was close and easy to get to. Hot showers outside were a needed treat. All facilities were well kept and great additions. Thank you, David.

Tent
With pets
We took four kids and a dog to Swart Estate and had an excellent time. The property has something for everyone, plenty of space, and just the right amount of facilities. Picnic table, grill, fire pits, sink, and a bath-house made a large group gathering comfortable. David as a host runs his place like a bed and breakfast experience... but without the bed, and without the breakfast.

Group trip
Our family had a great time tent camping at Swart Estate! David is star host and made us feel right at home. We picked from multiple potential camp sites on the property, and set up camp in the shade of the tree hammock. We utilized the shooting range and the archery range. We made friends with the goats and cats, and grilled out and ate in the fenced in bar area to avoid the nighttime mosquitos. The property is meticulosly maintained. And even though you feel like youre ourlt in the middle of no where, we had 5g cell signal at our camp site. 10/10 recommend, and we will be back very soon!
