The second largest freshwater lake in the United States, Florida’s Lake Okeechobee offers 730 square miles of fishing, boating and swimming. Largemouth bass, blue gill, black crappie and Okeechobee catfish are all popular sport fish found in Lake Okeechobee’s waters. The lake also offers miles of hiking and biking along the Herbert Hoover Dike—part of the Florida National Scenic Trail. For RV campers, Lake Okeechobee offers numerous RV parks and resorts located on all sides of the lake with amenities including boat docks, swimming pools, Internet access, and shower and laundry facilities.
Located on Lake Okeechobee’s northwest shore, Buckhead Ridge Resort is a nice site for duck hunters, fishermen, birdwatchers and boaters. Buckhead Ridge Resort offers RV campers full sewage and water hookups, and access to a heated pool, laundry facilities, boat launches, boat docks and a club house. Although they offer waterfront and non-waterfront sites, this resort is not located directly on the lake but on a waterway with boat access to the lake.
