Idlewild is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
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.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    The campsite exudes a welcoming and well-maintained atmosphere, ideal for both families and solo travelers seeking a peaceful retreat. Reviews consistently highlight the cleanliness of the facilities, friendly staff, and a variety of amenities like a pool and game room that cater to diverse interests. While some visitors noted the absence of previously listed features like happy hour and food options, the overall sentiment remains highly positive with guests appreciating the clear pool rules and the beauty of the surroundings. The occasional mention of minor issues, such as early game room closures, does little to overshadow the high praise for the overall camping experience.
