Outdoor enthusiasts looking for a peaceful camping destination surrounded by towering oak trees and Spanish moss can find it at Coleman Landing Campground, located within the Shady Oaks Recreation Area east of Lake Wales.

Situated at 1450 Shady Oak Drive, the pet-friendly campground offers visitors easy access to the natural beauty of the Lake Kissimmee area while providing a variety of camping options for both RV travelers and primitive campers.

The campground features 54 RV sites with grass pads, water service, and partial hookups, including 50-amp, 30-amp, and 20-amp electrical service. For those seeking a more traditional outdoor experience, six primitive camping sites are also available.

Campers can take advantage of several on-site amenities, including a dump station, flush restrooms, hot showers, a picnic area, and a bathhouse. The campground is located near the shoreline of Lake Kissimmee and provides convenient access to boat ramps for airboats, conventional boats, canoes, and kayaks.

Whether visitors are planning a fishing trip, boating adventure, weekend camping excursion, or simply looking to relax beneath the shade of centuries-old oak trees, Coleman Landing Campground offers a scenic outdoor retreat in the heart of Polk County.
