North Lake Sun RV Communities
42 RV Sites, 1 Cottage, 5 Motel Rooms, 5 Apartments
On the western shore of Lake Okeechobee near Moore Haven, Florida—in Glades County along the "Big O's" western rim where the 730-square-mile Lake Okeechobee—the second-largest freshwater lake by surface area in the contiguous United States—hosts the largemouth bass fishery that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission manages as one of the most productive big-bass trophy waters in the world, and where the 110-mile Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail circles the lake on the Herbert Hoover Dike's perimeter road in the most complete circumnavigation of a natural Florida lake available to cyclists, hikers, and the wildlife-watching visitor on a single continuous trail—North Lake Sun RV Communities provides a 55-plus active adult resort community with full hookup concrete-pad sites, a heated swimming pool, shuffleboard, bocce, pickleball, woodshop, sewing room, fitness center, library, a pet-friendly dog park, and a six-acre catch-and-release fishing lake on the property itself, in the Sun Outdoors-operated resort format that the western Okeechobee rim's retirement and snowbird market specifically supports. The 55-plus orientation, the Lake Okeechobee western-shore fishing access, and the 110-mile trail access from the property's Lakeport address define what brings long-term and seasonal residents to this specific community rather than the eastern shore resort alternatives.
Full hookup RV sites on concrete pads with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections accommodate RVs up to 42 feet with slide-out room and a patio area for each site. The Sun Outdoors resort management provides the staffed amenity and programming infrastructure that an independent campground in a rural Glades County location would struggle to sustain. A swimming pool provides the aquatic recreation. The organized activity programming—shuffleboard, bocce, pickleball, arts and crafts, woodshop, sewing room, the library, game room, and the dining and social programming calendar—creates the active adult community calendar that 55-plus campground residents specifically seek in a Florida snowbird destination that provides social structure alongside the warm-weather climate. A dedicated dog park for pet owners and a six-acre catch-and-release fishing lake on the community property itself provide the outdoor recreation that the Lake Okeechobee address makes the dominant recreational theme. Rental homes with full kitchen, washer/dryer, cable, and WiFi serve guests transitioning toward longer stays without ownership.
Lake Okeechobee's largemouth bass fishery—managed by the Florida FWC with the Big Lake Trophy Bass Program that sets limits designed to maintain the population of trophy-size bass in the 10-to-14-pound size class that the Big O's bass are specifically famous for—provides the primary fishing destination for the North Lake community's angling guests and residents. The western shore's shallow grass flats and the hydrilla beds that the Big O's biology sustains provide the spawning and feeding structure that concentrates the large bass population in the areas accessible from the Lakeport boat ramp.
The Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail's western section runs along the Herbert Hoover Dike with lake views to the east and the agricultural and natural areas of Glades County to the west, providing a flat, paved trail surface suitable for cycling, walking, and the wildlife watching of the Snail Kites, Sandhill Cranes, and the American White Pelicans that the Big O's wetland margin habitats maintain in consistent numbers visible from the dike trail.
North Lake Sun RV Communities is open year-round. The snowbird season from November through April fills the community with seasonal residents fleeing northern winters. Reserve well in advance for winter season arrival, join the pickleball roster, fish the catch-and-release lake on the property, and let Lake Okeechobee's western shore earn the Florida 55-plus community experience that the Big O's bass fishery and the 110-mile trail make specifically rewarding.
