A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush but just think how amazing it would be to have a cold beverage, a rod or a book in hand while watching far more than two feathered friends going quietly about their business on the shores of the sparkling Lake Okeechobee. It isn’t an experience saved for special occasions, either. Visit anytime – the Big O awaits.

Lake Okeechobee, the eighth largest freshwater lake in the United States, is a sight to behold, in any weather. Thanks to its balmy location, the Florida landmark stays holiday-ready all year round and it is growing in popularity with savvy vacationers looking for an eclectic experience. There is something for everyone, on and off the lake.

The premier fishing region in Florida, Lake Okeechobee is the main attraction to fishing fanatics from all over the country. We’re all about the bass here.

Whether it’s fishing off a pier or a boat in the “Big O” itself or chartering one of the exhilarating airboats to a more distant, otherwise inaccessible fishing spot, Okeechobee is your oyster (and hopefully a couple of your Largemouth Bass, too)!

The town is a perfect stop off with its plethora of piers, boat launches, stream beds, waterways, and grassy coves providing unlimited choice for fishermen and their seconding teams in charge of the picnic baskets and ice cold refreshments.

If you want some peace and quiet for your cantankerous Crappie lures, you’ll find it. If you want a little more guidance on the best places to catch the elusive Pickerel, however, there are local experts and enthusiastic Okeechobee fishing tour guides always at the ready.

Out of town but not quite, Lake Okeechobee and its surrounding areas offer visitors a rural feel with easy access to convenience and infrastructure. The region is full of ‘hidden gems,’ like nature-hugging campgrounds and breathtaking hiking trails, yet, all the amenities you need are available right up the road in Okeechobee City or in one of its abundant communities nearby.

RV parks are a dime a dozen here, and it is no wonder when one sees the attraction of the lake region far and wide. The parks and campgrounds are fully equipped and each offers unique amenities depending on their primary focus group and location. There are even a few stops catering to the older generation of campers, like Ancient Oaks for over fifty-fives who understands the young at heart also need a place to call their own.
