Idlewild Lodge and RV Park is located on the spring-fed waters of Lake Panasoffkee and built on 3 acres with 10 cabins and 10 RV pads. While peaceful and quaint, Idlewild offers all the comforts of home accompanied with plentiful amenities. Positioned as a boutique lodge, groups may find it ideal to host private events and families will find the amenities to be entertaining while also serving as a unique, but truly “Floridian,” nature experience. Located on the western perimeter of Lake Panasoffkee, Idlewild sits across a 9,911 acre state park preserving Lake Panasoffkee's vast floodplain forest, natural springs, pine flat-woods, freshwater marshes and oak scrub forest. Recognizing the beauty Lake Pan has to offer, the current owners revitalized Idlewild in 2022 welcoming residents and tourists alike to enjoy the natural beauty and fishing opportunities. In addition to cabin renovations and paved RV sites, Idlewild now features premium amenities including pontoon boat rentals, bait and tackle, a boat launch, boat slips, vending, recreational area, laundry machines, an on-site café, pool-side cabanas, and the most spectacular views of Lake Pan while sitting around the gas-fired fire pit. Idlewild is also host to Swamp Fever Airboat Adventures. Swamp Fever guests can sign up for the interactive alligator experience and ride an airboat deep into the shallow waters of Lake Pan's forest where snakes, turtles, cranes, and gators are aplenty.

The property is definitely different then most. The site itself is super spacious, and has great tree coverage from some ancient oaks. the site can hold up to an extra 5 tents if neened. There is solar power to the tee pee with a 750w solar inverter connected to two deep cycle batteries. Now to get to the site you have to go through the main busy part of the property (we literally have planes, trains and automobiles and more). But once you get to the site you feel the nature. Also right next to the property about 100 yd from where the property starts there is an entrance to a boat ramp (which has a 2 mi canal that goes to lake Apopka where you can launch a canoe or kayak, or do some fishing), also a 2.6 mi nature trail, and about 100 yd as well there is a 25 mile trail that you can bike, walk or horseback ride. That trail is a part of the Apopka wildlife drive which also starts not far from the property. It's a free nature drive on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays plus holidays. We are around 15 to 20 minutes from a few different springs such as wekiva springs, wekiva Island, Rock springs and Kings landing. We are about 45 minutes from SeaWorld, aquatica, volcano Bay, universal studios and more.

A little pocket of calm. The property is peaceful, natural, and beautifully Florida. It felt private and restorative, with the kind of quiet that lets you actually exhale. Easy access, safe, and a perfect place to reset before heading back into busier spaces. I would gladly return.

This place was absolutely beautiful and incredibly peaceful. The campsite is tucked beneath stunning old oaks draped in Spanish moss, and it truly feels like a private retreat. I loved having space to spread out, relax, and enjoy the quiet. The fire pit setup was perfect for evenings, and the setting felt both safe and secluded without being difficult to access. It was a wonderful place to unwind, read, and even do some painting surrounded by nature. If you’re looking for calm, natural beauty, and that classic Old Florida atmosphere, this is it. I would absolutely stay again.

Space wasn’t an issue. The red table and fire pit are at the side already .

Very beautiful private spots. Shady with the gorgeous Spanish moss trees. We stayed for two nights and James was very helpful if we needed anything at all. Our kids who are 6 and 9 had a blast running around the property and checking out all the cool things there were. They got to hang out with Tom the turkey and had the best time! Would come and stay again!

Weekend Trip to North Shore Relic Ranch

This place is perfect for anyone wanting to enjoy the outdoors. The camp sites were great for tent camping and hammock camping. Each one had a fire pit with picnic tables and an over the fire grill grate. I think one of the best things about this place was the hospitality. The host is amazing offering many great accommodation such as water, wood, farm fresh eggs from his own chickens, and much more. He also does a great job of letting you know the lay of the land and what else is available just outside the property such as hiking, fishing spots, boat ramps, grocery stores nearby, and even a cool hour long 120 acre wilderness drive. I would definitely recommend checking this place out and will also be returning myself.

Weekend Trip to North Shore Relic Ranch

I had a great time overnighting here with my dog. The directions were clear and James met me at the entrance and guided me to the campsite. The site was quite roomy and was equipped with a fire pit, picnic table and a couple of low camp chairs. There was also a water jug provided for dousing the fire. The camp sites were well spaced. There was a little bit of vehicle noise from the adjacent road, but it was infrequent and not disturbing. In the morning we went for a nice hike along the nearby 2.4mi trail. I'd like to come back some time and explore the property more fully; there were definately some quirky items scattered about.
