One of Floridas nicest parks. Sites were fairly well spaced out and shaded for the most part. A few pull through sites, but mostly back-in. Must make reservations through Reserve America which requires you select a campsite. If you've never been there before, it's pretty hard to know which site to select. When I was there, the ranger let me change sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Best park we have stayed in. This is what camping should be like. Very family oriented - kids riding bikes and playing all the time. Beautiful oak and pine trees. Located in the state park - lots of places to ride bicycles and see nature. The bathroom (closest to our site, #85) were the cleanest I have ever seen at a campground. Showers were great - no problems at all. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Wonderful experience of the Nature of Florida! But the sites are too close together! That can be a plus or minus depending on your neighbor and mood. Our neighbor was super and it enhanced our visit. Could go the other way however...ground was dirty sand. Had to wash my white dog's feet with the outdoor shower after every "walkie"--the campground was filled with armadillo holes-watch where you walk and try to keep your dog's nose out of the hole! I did not see a 50amp site and I walked the entire campground with my dirty-pawed pooch. Lotsa shade trees, tricky getting satellite but we maneuvered our 40ft diesel on Site 38 and found the signal. Loved the park discovery trails--many short, level trails with a "themed" focus ie orange trees, huge Oak Tree, cypress swamp etc. Tram tour informative and full of happy, questioning tourists! CAUTION: We came from Southwest Florida and followed our GPS which routed us on a single-laned county-maintained dirt road with soft, steeply sloping shoulders through an orange ranch. This kind of experience makes for funny RV adventures in hindsight, but it was nerve-wracking at the time. Avoid Crewsville Road on approach from the southwest! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first time at this park and we loved it. Staff very friendly and helpful. Plenty of trees and wildlife including deer, aligators, raccoons. etc. Great marked hiking trails and lots of them. The cypress swamp was beautiful. Many sites have great shade, so much so that it was hard to find a hole to aim my sat. dish through. Another nice touch is nightly firewood delivery service they have. Each night a trailer full of firewood for sale makes it's way throughout the campground. A nice size bundle was $4. Very cool. The only downside we found (as others have said) is that there is little privacy as most sites are very close together. The ground on most of the sites is dirt covered by lots of oak tree leaves, but it is dirt underneath. We didn't really find either of these drawbacks that big a deal. The bathrooms we clean but old. A brand new modern bath facility was nearly complete and should be open any day. One thing we noticed also was that during the week the campground was full but quiet. On Friday night that changed dramatically as other families rolled in. Saturday morning it was bustling with younger people riding bikes and playing. We enjoyed both the weekday and the weekend crowd. We will definitely return here soon. We camped here in a 23 foot TT. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is easy to get to and roads in and around the park are good. We had site #68 and the site was deep enough for our 30 ft class A and toad but the neighbors were inches away from us on both sides. The utilities are on the wrong side in this site but we didn't have a problem reaching them. As noted by others the sites are really packed together and although there are many trees around to make the park look a woodsy they unfortunately don't provide any privacy. We've had great luck with FL state parks so far but many of the campsites at this one are terrible. Incredibly crowded and noisy on the weekend late into the night. We checked out the pull thru sites recommended in a previous review and while they were better, they were still close together with no privacy. The new bathhouse is still under construction. Existing bathrooms/showers were older and not spotlessly clean but certainly usable; two bathhouses also had a washer and dryer. The dump was pretty easy in and out. We enjoyed lunch at the Inn and the CCC museum and we loved walking the nature trails but don't see spending $$ to be wedged into these mini-sites again. We'd rather go without hook-ups and stay in the primitive camping area where the sites are spacious, quiet and afford some privacy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of those parks with an extremely active seasonal community of loyal regulars. Although there is supposedly a limited stay, we spoke with several folks who stay here for much of the winter. The campground itself is composed of small sites, close together, with the parking pad composed of dirty sand. It is impossible to walk in here wearing sandals, and keep your feet clean. The people here are really nice, which makes up for the campground deficiencies. Loyal campers have added many nice touches to the campground, including a small kiosk with bench from which one can dial-up the internet. We would return if we were in the area again, particularly if we picked one of the better sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My favorite campground. Sites 130, 132, 134, 136 the best (pull-throughs for larger campers). Building a new bathhouse right behind them and you're close to the horseshoes, shuffleboard and playground. Excellent walking trails, an interesting museum, tram ride through the park, and a restaurant with GREAT desserts (wild orange pie and warm blackberry cobbler). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our overall rating of this state park is very good. It's a wonderful property with a nice CCC museum, tram nature rides, Friday night fish fry (very good), and a friendly staff. The sites at the campground are VERY close together and the hook-ups can be very far away. The CG was full the weekend we were there, but everyone was well behaved. The showers were clean, but old and could use a remodel. The courtesy phone for local and toll free calls was convenient. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our site was a pull thru site. It lookes as if long ago it was a wide site and they decided to add another site right next to it, making it very narrow. The campers next to us had their fire ring 2 feet from our rv. Hookups can be a long distance from rv. Some of them are on opposite sides to rv as well. Most sites not very deep. Not a lot of vegetation between sites. Lots of trees. Each site has a fire ring/grill, and a picnic table. Parking area is dirt/grass. Bathhouses are very old and need updated. Hot water was plentiful. There was a boil water notice up when we were there that they Rangers had neglected to tell us about at check-in. Playground was nice and in the camping area. Group fire ring. There was a CCC museum at park. Free admission. Restaurant on site that has a fish fry every Fri night. Open for lunch every day. They also have a small store that sells ice cream and necessities. Several bike/walking trails. Tram tour($4 adults/$2 kids)lasts about an hour and half. They take you to areas of the hammock that are off limits. We will camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Highlands Hammock is a nice campground. There is not a whole lot of privacy at most sites but they are nice. I liked the "Wonder years" atmosphere at night with a lot of activity from everyone and a lot of nice people. All types of campers and trailers to be seen. Bathrooms were nice. There are a lot of trails within the park but they are mostly all paved and a lot of people on them. The reason for a 7 only is the lack of privacy within most of this park. This is a big thing for us. But other than that a great park. PS- Watch the terrible drivers in Florida. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

I agree with all the two prior reviews said. This is a VERY VERY large manufactured home location. It's beautifuly landscaped, everything is first class and the sites are large. The long drive to the pool was about a 1/2 mile and thats a problem with wet suits in the truck. I finally found the dumpster tucked away in the maintenance area after much searching. The owners have local garbage collection, so it's not an issue except for campers. They would not honor the 20% off coupon in my Trailer Life Directory and only accept cash/checks. I did not have the check book with me and it's a pain to replace cash while on the road. There are a few things they need to work on to make this a thumbs up location. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Absolutely the best RV Park we have ever stayed in. The park is immaculate. The landscaping is the best we have ever seen. There is a lot of manufactured homes but they are on really big lots with near perfect landscaping. The park looks like a middle class subdivision. The RV section has all lots of 50 X 80 foot size on concrete pads. We fell in love with the park and the area, so much so that we are going in 2005/2006 for six months. The residents are very friendly and try to get you involved in all the activities and there are lots. Sebring is small town with a more laid back atmosphere than the rest of Florida. Although in the middle of Florida there are lots of lakes and the Highlands Hammock State Park is a must see. We love it there and we hesitate to publish this review as too many other RV's may flood our park! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This marked our second stay at Tanglewood. Sites are large and spacious (50 x 85). 50/30 amp service is available as is phone (local calls), cable tv, sewer, water and charcoal grills. We opted for a "Supersite" which included concrete driveway, parking pad and patio. These sites are seperated by privacy landscaping and are located on the water. Site costs are seasonal and very from site to site. Laundry facilities are located at the RV bathhouse and at the main community building. The pool area is large and well kept. People are friendly and makes this a very pleasant RVing stay. The commlunity is for people 40+ years of age, but children are allowed to visit for short term stays. Children must be accompanied at all times. Shopping facilities are located within one mile of of the resort. This resort is a "10" on anyone's list!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
