Sportsman's Cove

Relatively small but clean RV park. All sites are dirt or grass, no concrete pads, and there are a few small but old park model units. Great location on Orange Lake. Very quiet. Situated on the Great American Bird Trail and a great place to kayak out to see a good variety of birds. Boat docks are new, one with open slips and the other with covered slips and have lighting, water and electricity…with a fish cleaning station at one end and a custom built picnic table at the opposite end…very well done. There is a boat ramp with a canal that leads out onto Orange Lake. Unfortunately much of the canal is clogged with hydrilla. They have a machine to remove a lot of it only it has not been working for the past month or so. They also rent kayaks for a small fee and have a unique kayak loading ramp for easy entry and egress from the water. They had just built a wonderful viewing platform at the lake’s edge. To get there you must drive down Ave F in MacIntosh which is lined with beautiful old oak trees with a number of old Florida homes along the way…very quaint and picturesque.

Loved staying here. The owner and staff are friendly. The campground is absolutely beautiful. It's pretty rustic, so don't expect 5 star amenities. The beauty of the place and it's surrounding town make up for that though. It's got old Florida fish camp vibes. Stunning views of the lake and sunrises over it. We can't wait to go back!!

Sportsmans Cove - where old campers, hopes & dreams go to die. Very sketchy campers & owners living there full time for what appears to be many years. Canal is long, shallow and full of grasses/weeds that would make it very difficult to get into orange lake to fish. Owner kept way too much of our two day deposit when we left after first night.

We started for a month, and everything was perfect for what we were looking for. The area is so peaceful, and the lake offers so much beauty and tranquility. We kayaked, and my husband fished. If we get back to this area, we will definitely book here again.

Nice little campground many improvements have been made in the past year. New host is a pain in the A who has an inflated since of authority... Thought we had a nice place to return to but will see?
