## Overview

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.

> Very quiet small campground. Somethings have changed from the listing. They no longer have happy hour from 5-6, no food options and quiet time of 9 pm is still posted. The pool was great and staff was amazing!! Will definitely return with family.

> Reserved site 4 but Host said site 8 was more suitable for our 33’ travel trailer and it was! Very level and well kept. Pool was great! Perfect temperature and clean. Very clear pool rules posted on multiple signs. Very clean pool area. Small open air amenity center with pool table, foosball table, board games, seating and TV. Two public fire pits as well and individual rings at campsites. Host wa son site and accessible. WiFi strong. Will definitely visit again soon!

> 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.
