Good seasonal site between Vero and Okeechobee

[Nick M]

Our grandkids will be moving to the Okeechobee area in the next few weeks and we are looking at pulling our fiver from Cincinnati to there in November.

I would be interested in an area running from Vero Beach to Okeechobee. Doesn't necessarily need to be on water but close to a lake or river would be nice.

Any suggestions on campgrounds?

This will be our first very long pull, up until now every trip has been under 6 hours so any advice regarding breaking up this 1000 mile trip would be helpful. We generally travel at 60mph, no more than 65 so I'm thinking 2 1/2 days minimum.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

just over the Ga/FL border I always stay at Stephen Foster Folk Cultural Center State Park... nice park with lots of spots... have never needed a reservation yet in 4 years traveling in fall or winter...

there is a nice overnight area at a Interstate rest area just north by about a mile of the I-75 I-475 split north of Macon, GA... TT rest area separate from the trucks rest area... nice for an overnight if in a hurry

Look at Silver Palms RV park in Okeechobee. Welcome to Silver Palms RV Resort in beautiful Okeechobee Florida Very impressive. Spent a long weekend there. The largest KOA in their system is in Okeechobee, 750 sites. Also check out a place called River Ranch RV Resort. It is north of Okeechobee, interesting place, my wife spent a month there with the RV while I was away on a job. Lots to do there. 367 sites.
