Typical rv park with long term residents and rv lots mixed in. Very friendly. Office person excellent at check in. Pools nice, laundry clean. Came back a 2nd time. Lots a decent size...not crammed in. Wifi not at site. - K Willie

This is not a park that is set up for transient campers. The roads are narrow and sites very small. it must be a problem backing into a site in season. Half the park - are very nice permanents. The pool was great this time of year. Large library. Very large laundry and reasonable. No cable or wifi that I could pick up. Garbage p/u twice a week and no dumpsters. No shade. - Libby

We stayed here for a week and think it would be a great place to winter in Florida. It is a 55+ community, so really not a family camping stop. There were so many activities - bocce ball, pickle ball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, tennis, a pool, and a nature trail for riding or walking around the park. Note that this is a large "manufactured home" park with RV sites interspersed. Site spacing was fairly good, with room to park the car next to the RV with space left over. Folks were very friendly and the place was surprisingly quiet. Interior roads were paved, sites gravel and level with concrete patios and strong 50 amp power and water. Sewer, a table, and cable TV were included, but we did not use the cable. Our Verizon phones and amplified Wi-Fi data unit worked flawlessly. The park had Internet available for a fee; we did not try it. The laundry room was huge with many machines - more like a commercial facility. The bathrooms and showers were nice and clean, with benches and hooks available at the showers. Grocery stores were less than 10 minutes away, with other services only minutes further. We enjoyed this park very much and recommend it to anyone staying in the area. Our daily rate was based on a one-week stay. - LowesTravels

The manager here is very intelligent and thorough with what is needed. You will like her. The resort is very active with card and board games, golf and bowling leagues, and shuffle board and horseshoes. The pool appeared clean and maintained, but I did not utilize that amenity. The resort has a healthy blend of new and old trailers/homes throughout; some have concrete pads, and others have a level plot with plenty of space. The leaves are cleaned up daily (yes daily), allowing the streets to remain clean and encouraging bugs to live elsewhere. The surrounding campers and tenants are great people. This is a product of the resorts organization and care, I feel. Overall, the resort is great! We will definitely utilize their services again in the future whenin the area. - Josh2426

Stayed a week here in 2009 with Passport America discount, but this time decided to stay a whole month. Wrong move! People are friendly, but the management leaves a lot to be desired! Lost our names to get propane for our coach, almost ran out of gas because of it, and then made it out like it was our fault. They tried to charge us more for our electric than we were supposed to pay. They tried to make us pay for the people that were parked there before us. Make sure to write down your numbers for your electric use. The management is not very customer friendly at all! We also were put up front along the wall, and the traffic all day and night was pretty loud. Will not stay there again, will find another park. We came with friends, and they will not be back next year either, neither will the people that parked next to us. We heard a lot of bad reviews. Hope they get new management soon! - GMP

This is a Passport America campground and our stated rate reflects that. Although the campground has 180 sites, only about 10 are for short term rentals. Many of the sites have broken facilities. We had to have water/sewer from one site and electrical from another. Many of the permanent sites are pretty ratty looking. It is on a large lake, but the permanent people have this locked up. Pool and rec room are nice. WiFi (free) was very weak, but I was able to use it as I had an antenna. I got no service without it. There were no showers that we could find. There was a dog barking and loud talking and music well into the night. We go this way on a regular basis, but will not be stopping here again. - Florida Native

Friendly park close to all interests. Spent a month. The sites were level, the amenities such as the pool and shuffleboard area were in good condition. Laundry, bath and shower rooms were well maintained. The park has many activities such as shuffleboard, Bingo and cards. Field trips, potlucks and other activities are well organized. This park is located near Highland Hammock State park which is a wonderful CCC park. Sebring has everything you would need other than Club stores. Sebring is amongst citrus groves. Plenty of Fresh water lakes for great fishing. Shooting ranges in nearby towns. - Dave's Wife

The kids loved the hiking trails. One day was spent in The Gulfat Venice Beach, worth the 2+ hour trip. The gate is locked at night and the rangers run a tight ship. We just showed up and they allowed us to drive around an pick a spot. Many spots are tight for larger campers. Bring bug spray. - Crop Guy

Once upon a time this park was at the top of the game. Now you find brown dried up grass, no shade, little vegetation and the long term sites have uneven and frequently rutted sites. Park maintenance seems to have never used any device to make sure sites are level length to length and side to side. Short term sites have these silly narrow concrete strips on which to park your tires but then your jacks slide into soft ground. The impression is that owners are milking this cash cow and not doing a whole lot to upgrade the park to what customers now expect. No Wi-Fi, no basic cable. On a positive note people are friendly, RV club is super, and clubhouse is very nice. So much potential so little effort. - j&k

The Park is rated by Woodall's as a 5 star resort, which I believe is outdated. The resort is resting on it's laurels! The sites are not as portrayed on their web site- landscaped with privacy, only the super sites which are rented for 6 month periods are this way. The others are large sites out in the open on dried up crunchy brown grass. The utilities are at best 12" off the ground which is not conducive to the age group the park caters too. Not to mention many are in shoddy condition. Other then being large the sites are nothing special. Many have only a concrete patio. The Outback laundry facilities are dated. The resorts laundry room is better tho the A/C units need reinstalled & the room needs cleaned daily instead of weekly. The pool lounge chairs need cleaned. The resort has many activities to enjoy. The people (residents) are the biggest asset of the resort. Everyone is very nice & welcoming & encourage you to enjoy yourself & join in. The resort grounds are beautiful & green while the Outback section seems to have little attention paid to it aesthetically. Large dogs seem to be discriminated against. Nice place but not living up entirely to 5 stars! - madeforcomfort

This is our second time here. They have a really huge and beautiful location. Office staff very helpful. Large sites and concrete patio's. They have no dial up location and no wireless. To get on the net you must join the computer club at $15 a month and use there connection. That's a bit steep for overnight folks. There were many empty sites even though it was the SEASON. - Libby

Rate is based on three month stay. This park is in a great quiet location just far enough from US 27. Shopping is close, and four of the several golf courses in the area are close by. The wonderful bike path and state park are just down the street. The management is very good and the residents are friendly. Many activities are available for an enjoyable stay. Each RV spot has good utilities and a concrete pad. Electric rates seem reasonable and propane is available on site. Aesthetically, the permanent trailers are very nice. The RV section could be better looking, but they do the job. For that reason I did not give this park a 10. We will stay again as the price was right. - exceltraveler

Cost is based on a 2 month stay. We were there January and February. We had planned to be there 3 months. People were very friendly, water and electric were good. HOWEVER, wifi is so bad we were frequently able to even download our email and we were right next to the booster antenna. We finally paid Comcast for a hookup. Be aware that the 3 month discount rate will not be given up front. You pay the full rate the first 2 months and the pay the difference the last month. If you elect to leave early, as we did, you won't get the 2 month discount and they won't want to apply the $100 deposit you originally sent. The sites are NOT spacious as advertised and while level, your tires will sink in the sand on one side. Access to the sites are narrow and there is little room to park your tow vehicle/toad. We won't stay there again. - kcook

Stayed here for 3 days on a tour of different FL RV parks to see where we might want to stay for a longer period in the future. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The sites were pretty tight, but sites we saw had cement pads with sand/grass RV parking. We had some difficulty getting into our site due to the tightness and vehicles parked nearby. There are a good number of mobile homes in the park, but the RV area is separate from them, although they do share the clubhouse activites (which there were plenty of). The park residents we interacted with were very friendly to us even though we were there for such a short time. We did not see any children anywhere within the park and there weren't any playground areas. They had a great lending library, an area where puzzles were being worked on, a movie night, and other activies one could take part in. We would stay here again, but only for a stopover rather than weeks or months. - Parrothead Mike

Great hikes and boardwalks. Bike trails. Nice museum and picnic area. The Campground was not very full or crowded. Not many Snowbirds in mid summer.

Check in was easy and the Rangers we interacted with were pleasant. The camp hosts kept the place neat & tidy. - Big Gator

A previous review perfectly summed up this campground: The campground itself is average, but the park itself is excellent. While it's certainly not horrible, compared to other Florida state parks, Highland Hammock is not up to par. This is an older campground showing its age and in major need of updating. Very narrow, sometimes difficult to navigate roads in the campground -- also, there is no clear signage to help direct traffic flow down these small, one-lane roads. Our site was very sandy and both the picnic table and fire ring were so old as to be completely unusable. On the other hand, the park itself is great to explore. The Civilian Conservation Corps originally constructed the park in the 1930s and there is a small CCC museum on site that's worth a visit. Daily tram tours take visitors on a guided tour of the park. There are also hiking paths to explore. - AF_Pilot

Campground is average, but the park is great. Most sites were packed in close, with minimal privacy. Weekends fill up, so hope for quiet neighbors. The new bathhouse near site 130 is new, bright, and clean with 3 sets of washers and dryers. The other bathhouses are clean, but older. The park has an 1 mile 1-way loop canopy road with many trailheads (almost all loops) and is excellent for driving, walking or biking. - Snowbirds34

We stayed a few nights. This park is OLD and needs updating. Many of the trailers are permanent. Some residents are year round living in both mobile homes and travel trailers.

The photos on their website gallery are deceiving. There is no lake or golf course attached to the park. The photos were not even taken nearby.

There is only one small two position bathroom with a single stall shower for each gender that serves more than 100 camping spots, which are not nearly sufficient for the quantity of people trying to use them.

Most sites are barely large enough to accommodate a single width camper. Some slides encroach on their neighbor's space. All, without exception, concrete patio pads are broken.

WiFi is sufficient for checking email or web surfing. Downloading a photo or streaming video is next to impossible. - R V Camper

Park is very old, type cg from '50's. Crowded in winter, somewhat empty in summer. Some year round residents. Utility connections were too close to the ground and difficult to hook up. Concrete patio broken up. "Yard" was weeds and dirt. Nice pool, o.k. laundry, helpful on site management. We doubt we will be back, except that we found a great auction nearby. O.k. for an overnighter, questionable for extended stays. - thmakin

Nothing fancy! The photos on their website show the park several years ago. There are many travel trailers from the 1960's that have been set up permanently with rooms added on. Also there are mobile homes. Some trailers are inhabited year round rentals, some are seasonal rentals. Many trailers are left year round, but inhabited by out of state owners seasonally. There are transient trailers that come and go, but not many.

There is only one female and one male toilet/shower room which serves the pool, the club house, and any camper without facilities. The toilets are not adequate for the quantity of people using them. EVERY concrete pad on each site is broken and uneven. Some are unsafe! I recommend camping here only if you have toilet and bath facilities inside your RV. - R V Camper

Highlands Wheel Estates is a old classic, Florida mobile home park/RV park. The management team are excellent hosts with a great knowledge of the Sebring area. Although old, the park is very clean, the pool is great, and the sites are fairly big. Some sites have shade. There are lots of activities for residents. Laundry room is clean and prices are very reasonable. There is a roomy clubhouse with kitchen. Many sites are occupied year round and the park is full during the winter season. Our rate was based on Passport America. Sebring has every type of store you can ask for, including 2 RV/camping stores a little north of town on U.S. 27. We are here for 2 weeks and will be back for even longer next time - thmakin

Internet was only available in recreation hall. No outside benches supplied. Most people are quite elderly and have been coming here for years. Most own their lots and don't really welcome new comers. Clean but very old fashioned. This park is also situated in central Florida which is a long way from either coast where most attractions are. - Jacknel

Very nice clean park. It is a cooperative so there are many permanent sites. There is fishing from the docks. The park has many activities. Roads are paved but somewhat narrow and twisting. May have a problem leveling on some of the sites. Sites have cement patios. - Illinois_Snowbird
