Pahokee Campground

The Pahokee Campground and Marina offers an exceptionally affordable way to experience million-dollar views of sunsets over the lake every evening. The facility is meticulously maintained, ensuring a clean and welcoming environment. The camp host is known for their friendliness and helpfulness, adding to the overall positive experience. The campgrounds are quiet and pristine, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful retreat. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the abundant birdwatching opportunities and the great walking trails along the top of the berm. The presence of alligators adds an element of excitement and interest to the visit. Additionally, the campground boasts a well-kept swimming pool, perfect for a refreshing dip. The primary downside is its remote location, being 34 miles from the nearest town. This means visitors need to plan ahead for supplies and necessities. Despite its many charms and amenities, the campground remains surprisingly underutilized, often deserted even during peak seasons. This lack of crowds, however, can also be seen as a benefit for those seeking solitude and tranquility in a beautiful natural setting.

There’s a lot of rvs here but it’s such a huge park it is probably about 30% occupied in the peak winter season on a Saturday. The marina is deserted with about 10 boats, maybe 5% occupancy. Huge restaurant and outdoor tiki bar looks permanently closed. The neighbors are friendly and it isn’t run down. There was a huge gator floating off the coast when I arrived. Seems like a lot of nature conservation in the area. Each site has its own dump. There is an onsite manager. I have t mobile and have great service here.

UNSAFE. DIRTY. DO NOT STAY HERE. We thought a municipal marina and campsite sounded nice but regret everything about traveling to Pahokee. Campsite is about 20% full of run down trailers with garbage strewn everywhere. No water in the women’s bathrooms. Not hot water in men’s showers. First site we were assigned was littered with previous campers garbage (cutlery, pots and pans). The second was littered with used tissues and toilet paper. Paid $125 upfront for two nights for a dry site (!!!) and left first thing in the morning as it was so uncomfortable. Around 1am we heard people walking around the back of our camper. Tried to raise these issues with the woman at the front desk and she clearly did not care. So we left. Keep our money, Pahokee. You obviously need it. The town itself is not somewhere tourists should travel…. Garbage strewn everywhere. My partner was approached by someone who recently left prison and asked for one of our bikes. This was most certainly the worst part of our trip. I’d rather sleep in a gas station or rest stop than there.

I had an awesome time camping at Pahokee Campground! I booked with Sheryl over the phone, and she booked me an awesome campground! The campsites are clean, well dispersed, and have all the amenities you need For tent campers like me, you could plug your electronics to the electric supply at the site if need be. There's also water, and great great bathrooms. I camped here in the winter, and the bathrooms were clean, warm, smelled good, and overall, very inviting! Staff is great and helpful There is a great walking/running trail all along the rim of the lake. Great spot to camp- highly recommended!! Thanks again Sheryl!

For the absence of kindness from the woman in the office. After two trials, we had a very small site between two annual residents (parked very close to the water with big rig) and were not able to have the beautiful view. Many beautiful places were disponible on the night. When we asked her for the farthest site she had disponible, she answered that she was her that choose our site! I wondered why she did not pay our bill too… Unfortunately 1/3 full yesterday. The camping is beautiful but need love as well as the marina. The city should place a reservation by internet to make it easier for the people…
