I’m from Charlotte, NC and we were vacationing in Florida for about 2 1/2 weeks. This park was one of our stops. First; the attendant at the front gate made an absolute amazing first impression. (The gentleman had blonde shoulder length hair I don’t recall his name) We didn’t know we had to pay to enter and we had to sit and scrounge around for enough to enter the park. The cost is $5 per car (it was this price July 2022) He was soooo nice and told us where we could go fishing. Even driving away from the gate as we were entering my husband and I spoke about how kind and helpful he was. *Whomever you are Thank you for your amazing hospitality you made us feel welcome!!!* With that being said, the park is absolutely gorgeous!!!! There are areas to fish annnd there are Alligators 🐊!!!! One behind the β€œcracker shack” specifically is large!! I got pictures of him they are on my review. I saw 4 gators while I was there and got pictures of them all. The trees are absolutely amazing!! So many shaded areas to sit and relax. I saw an area set up to play horseshoes, an area for volleyball, zip lining, and even a slip on the dock behind the cracker shack (concession stand) for handicap individuals to be able to get in and out of kayaks and/or canoes. I saw Tons of fish here but I only actually caught one baby fish!! 😞 Regardless of my inability to catch anything I had an amazing time. If you’re considering visiting this park you definitely should!!

Great adventure. The restrooms were well clean and stocked. Shower was nice. Campsites,,, some are smaller than others. The one I had was large. Great week of camping πŸ• and fun fishing. Currently, they are dredging and the water level is real low.

We camped here in a travel trailer. The campgrounds weren't even half full and I don't know why. It is a beautiful park. So peaceful. Super clean facilities. Wide large sites. Hosts were so kind and friendly. We wished we had more time here as we would have liked to kayak.

Sweet place to camp. Quite nice sites only. Fun Amenities lacking. Was upset that the cowtown/1870s area was closed. Come on we pay for our parks open them up. Also the observation tower was in disarray. 1/2 open top tape/ boarded up. There not much too do. The wildlife was nuts. Coons armadillos deer everywhere. Coons could care less about you they were on the ground table truck under the chairs we were sitting in. Just cool. If you go take a boat nice ramp and area too fish but other then that there is nothing to do. We will always return too camp. Beautiful site's

Are pets permitted in canoe rental?

Janice McVea | Jun 29, 2018
John Smith III | Jun 30, 2018

As of right now we do not rent canoes. We have a new cossesionar coming in soon who may rent canoes. When that happens, they will have the say so on whether or not you can take your animal with you or not. If you are using your own canoe you can do what you like. However, we have alligators and lots of them. They will take a small animal if the opportunity is there. So, be careful if you decide to do it. Pets are part of our families and I'm sure they would enjoy a boat ride just as much as we do. Have a great day. John Smith III, Ranger Lake Kissimmee State Park
