About
Camp Idlewild of Florida opened in the Fall of 2020 with limited service due to COVID.
In 2021 we started our overnight camping program and have expanded yearly since then. We now offer Weekend Camps each month, a full summer of overnight and day camp programs, community activities, and numerous group retreats for schools, clubs, families, sports teams, and community-sponsored groups.
Camp facilities include the following:
- (4) Custom Built Cabins: with a capacity of 12 people per cabin
- Main Lodge: a 5,000+ square foot multi-purpose building that houses: a dining room, activity or conference room, a beautiful gas fireplace, a commercial kitchen, a medical room for the Camp Nurse and a large screened-in porch on the back of the building.
- Large Fire Ring: to provide hours of fun for campfires, smores and drum circles.
- Swing Circle lit up at night makes for a whimsical inviting social hot spot
- Tipi Haven with wood burning fire pit
- Redwood play ground and Jungle Gym
- Gaga Pit for hours of fun!
- Zip Line
- Petting Barn for interacting with goats, mini horses, donkey and zeboo (minature cow)
- Outdoor Activity Pavilion and Sports Field: will provide a multi-purpose space for sports & games and other outside activities.
- 65 Acre Spring-Fed Lake: will provide the perfect place to enjoy fishing, canoeing, paddle boating pontoon boat rides, and a designated swimming area.
- Hammocks: several hammocks will sway under the moss of the trees in the shade to provide a nice relaxing spot to read a book or enjoy the sounds of nature.
- (5) Full Hookup RV Sites: a unique feature for families who would like to schedule a family getaway or for rental groups to use during our off-season months throughout the year.
