TCAS Camping

This is actually Kissimmee Prairie State Park..

My wife and I have just returned home after spending 2 nights at the Equestrian Campsite. Probably due to the heat with temperature of over 90 degrees, we were a bit disappointed not seeing much wildlife, only two deer, some squirrels and some crows in all. It was also cloudy in both nights that we could not even find one single star in the sky. Our first night was very hot and sticky, while our second night was about 5 degrees cooler after a downpour in the late afternoon. There were only about 4 sites including us occupied at our campsite. Very quiet at night. Mosquitos were very active as soon as the sun started setting till morning and we had to take shelter in our tent early as 8pm. All the staffs were very friendly. The lady checked us in at the registration office was very nice and she briefed us carefully to make sure things we needed to know. We also felt very safe seeing the lady doing rounds in a truck checking from time to time. A big drawback was the bathrooms. The size and privacy feeling of the bathrooms was excellent. However, there was absolutely no feeling of any ventilation inside the bathrooms, though there were 2 loud machines at the exterior wall appeared to be exhaust fans. Not only it was unhealthy, but also in fact dangerous especially during these years. The skylight in the bathroom probably have made it worse because of the heat from the sunlight. I would say the temperature inside the bathroom at least over 90 degrees. It just compared to when I was in the attic of my house in summer. Adding to the unbearable heat, there was only very hot water in the shower. When I came out of the bathroom, I felt like I have just come out of a sauna room literally. Unless something have done over this, the highest ratings I could give to this campsite is 4-star.

Beautiful clean campground with lots of room to stretch your legs. 54,000 acres with trails going all over the place. We came for the weekend and want to come back for a week. Turkey, deer and hawks all day directly in front of our camp site, we had read in reviews that you needed dedicated mountain bikes as the trails are soft, they are soft but the main roads would be perfect for beach cruisers and much easier to roam the campgrounds

If you want nature and the beauty of wet and dry prairies in one stay....this is the place. Just a mile away from camping 🏕 are massive gators, different species of snakes. Just around and in the camping 🏕 area squirrels, bunnies, turkeys, Crested Caracara, all kinds of rare and beautiful birds. At night, the stars and Aneta are ripe for the watch. If you don't have a scope, your eyes will be fine. 24 hr round the clock beauty. You can't go wrong.

Very little known site / area but worth the trip. Lots of great trails and no restriction for mountain bikers! Keep in mind there is a lot of sand here so much of the going is tough. Nights are totally awesome, key area for stargazers. Deer, gaters, herons are concentrated in the sloughs and fun in the evenings to watch the game come in. This is total peace!

Quiet....solitude and stargazing at night

Beautiful, peaceful, and full of wildlife. Very clean and well maintained. A terrific bathhouse with plenty of hot water and also a dryer and washing machine for convince.
