41mi from Lake Wales · 6 sites · Lodging · Thonotosassa, FL
Just minutes from downtown Tampa, Hillsborough River State Park offers seven miles of nature trails and wonderful wildlife viewing. There is a little something for everyone here with hiking, biking, strolling along the river rapids, fishing, exploring suspension bridges, picnicking under pavilions built in the 1930s, or kayaking class II river rapids, which are rare in Florida!

Timberline Glamping Kissimmee Prairie

2. Timberline Glamping Kissimmee Prairie

44mi from Lake Wales · 5 sites · Lodging · Okeechobee, FL
Kissimmee Prairie is a land dominated by the great blue sky. Part of the Everglades headwaters, the preserve protects the largest remaining tract of Florida dry prairie, an ecosystem shaped by cycles of flooding and fire. Many rare, threatened and endangered species inhabit this place, and the wide-open landscape means that bird-watchers and photographers have ample opportunity to catch sight of a grasshopper sparrow, crested caracara or burrowing owl. Internationally recognized for its lack of light pollution, the night sky above the prairie is inky black — Glampers can spot the Milky Way without using telescopes or binoculars. It is difficult to find a location in Florida that is further removed from urban and suburban light pollution than Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park. In fact, in 2016, Kissimmee Prairie Preserve was recognized as Florida's first Dark Sky Park by the International Dark Sky Association.
