We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, but the scores are strong: 9.4 out of 10 from 56 RV LIFE reviews and 4.2 stars on Google. Written reviews are thin; the few we could read praise the amenities, the helpful staff and the friendly full-time residents.

Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether Silver Palms fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a full-on activity resort: paver lots around five lakes, a heated pool and poolside bar, 10 lighted pickleball courts and a busy social calendar, a few minutes from the lake and town. It’s built around lot owners, so nightly rates aren’t published, and you’ll need to check the booking page or call for an open lot.

Silver Palms doesn’t publish nightly, weekly or monthly rates; the $129 preview stay is an offer for would-be owners. The $125 rate was reported by an RV LIFE user. HOA dues ($1,017 a quarter) apply only if you buy a lot.

Silver Palms RV Resort is a gated RV community in Okeechobee where RVers buy lots and owners can rent them out through the resort. Managed by Sunland RV Resorts, it suits RVers who want resort amenities and a social calendar more than a quiet campground.
Best for
- Active snowbirds: 10 lighted pickleball courts, tennis, a fitness center, water aerobics and live entertainment, with a planned activities director.
- Big rigs: lots for RVs up to 46 ft, including pull-thru lots, all with 30/50 amp, water and sewer.
- RVers thinking of buying: a 3-night preview stay for $129 lets you try the resort before you shop for a lot.
- Anglers and nature lovers: catch-and-release fishing on five lakes, and a 17-acre wildlife preserve behind some lots.
Consider this
- Nightly rates aren’t published; check the booking page or call. RV LIFE’s last reported rate was $125 a night.
- It’s an owners’ community with full-time residents and an HOA, so it feels more like a neighborhood than a campground.
- The lake is a quarter mile away, not out your window, and you can’t swim in the on-site lakes.
- Rules are firm: the gate stays closed, no pet pens, no washing rigs with city water and an 11 mph speed limit.

- Which lot type will I get? Ask for preserve, lakefront, interior or pull-thru, and the pad length.
- Is there an age rule? We found none, and Campendium lists the park as open to all, but confirm before you book.
