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.

Idlewild offers a welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and well-kept amenities, making it a popular choice for campers. The site is clean and quiet, with a range of activities like a game room and fishing dock, and guests appreciate the small touches like free beer and fresh towels. The cabins and RV sites are praised for their cleanliness and comfort, though some noted minor issues like early game room closure and occasional noise from blowers. Despite these small drawbacks, the overall experience is positive, with many visitors expressing eagerness to return.

Great views
We had an absolutely fantastic time here! The cabin was not only spacious but also incredibly clean. Our two big fur-babies 🐾 had a blast too, they really enjoyed their stay. We got to match our s'mores skills against the community firepit, exercised our competitive spirit with some foosball, and even shot some pool. Ahh and the view was breathtaking, Mother Nature in all her glory. You won't believe it but we also spotted some gators! Looking forward to our next adventure here!

a friend and I came to try and witness the Perseid meteor shower, but unfortunately it was too cloudy. the Inside was very modern and clean. this was a one time trip, visiting random parts of Florida, so won't probably visit again. But I would recommend, and we did go to the local eatery, which I can't remember!! ( in the info book) and the fish dip and shrimp boil were on point.

This place was awesome. The staff were all very nice, the facilities were clean and the sites were second to none. We specifically loved the free BEER from 5 to 6 for all guests over 21! They just seems to be going above and beyond in every way. We will surely be back as we only live 1 hour away!
