The Kissimmee-St. Cloud area of Osceola county is an international tourist Mecca drawing visitors to its theme parks and attractions. Visitors looking for more than those mouse-eared hat souvenirs will find paddling, hiking, and freshwater fishing along the lakes and rivers stretching throughout the rest of the county. RV campers will find options able to meet the demands of both the iconic Florida vacation and a more natural, less congested Florida escape.

East Lake Fish Camp

Two large interconnected lakes dominate the landscape of Osceola County. East Lake Tohopekaliga, usually referred to simply as East Lake Toho, is a large circular lake separating the sprawl of the Orlando area from the woods and wetlands of east central Florida. On the shores of this lake, anglers and boaters will find East Lake Fish Camp offering full hookup RV sites, tent sites, and rental cabins. The camp provides its guests with a pool, boat ramp, boat rentals, bait and tackle shop, recreation room, and airboat rides.
