Timberline Glamping at Kissimmee Prairie
5 Glamping Sites
Timberline Glamping at Kissimmee Prairie offers five luxury tent accommodations inside Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park in Okeechobee, Florida — a 54,000-acre preserve that holds the distinction of being Florida's first designated Dark Sky Park. Restrooms, showers, and firewood serve guests at 33104 NW 192nd Avenue.
Five glamping sites make up the accommodations — furnished tents unlike standard camping equipment, so guests arrive with luggage rather than gear. Restrooms, showers, and firewood serve the property. With five sites in a remote preserve, reserve well ahead. Pets are welcome.
Corn hole fills the on-site recreation, and the preserve does everything else. Hiking, biking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and birding all run from the site across Florida dry prairie, wetland, and savanna. A casino is nearby.
The night sky is the reason to book. Kissimmee Prairie sits far enough from urban light pollution that the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye on clear nights, with a clarity the developed Florida coast cannot approximate. The Dark Sky designation is formal and protected, which means the darkness is reliable rather than a matter of luck — this is one of the few places in Florida where genuine night-sky viewing is possible.
The preserve also protects one of the largest remaining tracts of Florida dry prairie, habitat for the endangered Florida grasshopper sparrow.
Winter and spring deliver the most comfortable conditions and the clearest skies, and new moon periods draw astronomers specifically. Reserve well ahead for those dates.
