    Lake Kissimmee State Park is located in east-central Florida, about 15 miles ENE of Lake Wales. A little out of the way, but worth the drive.

    When we learned that we'd be down in this part of Florida, we decided to make a reservation about a month ago. Probably would have been all right without it, as there were a number of empty sites each night we were there. We were on site 3.

    Date of Visit: Jan 2013

    In the center of each of the two camp loops are the standard Florida modern bathhouses. The little shed to the left houses a washer and dryer, $1.25 a load for each.

    A short walk from the campground is the marina, boat launch and camp store. Rental canoes, kayaks and Segue machines are available to rent.

    The park is home to a replica of a Florida cow camp. Open on weekends, it depicts the life of a cow hunter.

    Unfortunately we were not there on a weekend, so we didn't get to see the demonstrations that take place here.
