5. Timberline Glamping Kissimmee Prairie

24mi from Okeechobee · 5 sites · Lodging

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.

Weekend Trip to Swart Estate

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.

This Hipcamp was just what we needed. A place to plug in and leave our rig for 2 nights. No issues maneuvering our fifth wheel into the spot and ground was pretty level. We also had no problem locating the electrical and water spout. All good!

Gravel space next to small house in a refined business district. Easy access to beaches and groceries. Quiet, unbothered and a nice space to rest as we waited for time to pass to our next destination

Convenient location for an overnight or short beach stay. Just a few miles from a beautiful public beach. Also recommend visiting the Nave SEAL museum while in the area. Site had power (50A) and water with a gravel pad (so no sand!).

Even though the pictures promised more, we were very satisfied with the pitch. The issue with the plug not fitting properly was quickly resolved by the owner. There is a train track nearby that causes some noise, but we didn't notice it at night.

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.

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!
