2024/01.20 Afternoon fun Lake Kissimmee State Park Cow Camp đ€© Today at the Cow Camp, I have travel back in time to 1876. As a Florida cow hunter girl , whooping and make a crackers songs was fun and enjoyed little bit of ...the Real Florida.
One of our new favorites. We just did the guided 2 hour hike today. We will return soon to try the nice campsites. Isaac was our guide and made the hike very educational.
So many things to do and explore. We had a great time walking the trails. Cow camp was a fun experience. Facilties were super clean and staff were very friendly.
Here's the thing: this is a very nice and informative historical exhibit in the middle of one of the most beautiful state parks in Florida. It's rather small, and the presentation by the playacting 1870's cowpoke is brief, so I wouldn't plan a day around visiting this specific attraction. But if you're already in the park and looking for something to do, it's there. And the walk back to it is pretty enough.
Awesome! Wonderful experience. The gentlemen gave a great account of old Florida cowboys and you received an education on how life was back in the 1800's for these guys. You will learn some great info if your into the outside and learning some old Florida history.
