The Pahokee Campground and Marina offers an exceptionally affordable way to experience million-dollar views of sunsets over the lake every evening. The facility is meticulously maintained, ensuring a clean and welcoming environment. The camp host is known for their friendliness and helpfulness, adding to the overall positive experience. The campgrounds are quiet and pristine, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful retreat.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the abundant birdwatching opportunities and the great walking trails along the top of the berm. The presence of alligators adds an element of excitement and interest to the visit. Additionally, the campground boasts a well-kept swimming pool, perfect for a refreshing dip.
The primary downside is its remote location, being 34 miles from the nearest town. This means visitors need to plan ahead for supplies and necessities. Despite its many charms and amenities, the campground remains surprisingly underutilized, often deserted even during peak seasons. This lack of crowds, however, can also be seen as a benefit for those seeking solitude and tranquility in a beautiful...
Read moreUNSAFE. DIRTY. DO NOT STAY HERE. We thought a municipal marina and campsite sounded nice but regret everything about traveling to Pahokee. Campsite is about 20% full of run down trailers with garbage strewn everywhere. No water in the women’s bathrooms. Not hot water in men’s showers. First site we were assigned was littered with previous campers garbage (cutlery, pots and pans). The second was littered with used tissues and toilet paper. Paid $125 upfront for two nights for a dry site (!!!) and left first thing in the morning as it was so uncomfortable. Around 1am we heard people walking around the back of our camper. Tried to raise these issues with the woman at the front desk and she clearly did not care. So we left. Keep our money, Pahokee. You obviously need it.
The town itself is not somewhere tourists should travel…. Garbage strewn everywhere. My partner was approached by someone who recently left prison and asked for one of our bikes.
This was most certainly the worst part of our trip. I’d rather sleep in a gas station or rest...
Read moreWow!! What a wonderful place!! Everyone has been so friendly and nice, especially Cheryl in the office who is a pure gem!! She didn't even mind my million questions or bothering her daily! Now for the campsite, every site is right on the water!! Our site was way on the end with a wide open view of the winter sunset, just beautiful!! However, every site has a beautiful water and sunset view! There's even a pool overlooking the lake! I dangled my feet in the beautiful water, but the weather was a little chilly when we were there! I could go on and on, everyone was nice in town, only about an hour from palm beach and the ocean, and driving through the sugar came fields was very interesting! This place is a hidden Florida hideaway!! $60 per night is great and $226 a week is amazing for these views...
