Okeechobee KOA Campground
Lake Okeechobee
Okeechobee, Florida
Iconic restaurant in Vero Beach.
Marc- Sue and I started the day with a tennis match. We also had time for ping pong and pool. Our walking about the campground revealed several fishing boats on some of the larger campsites (boats that are pulled by the big rigs). Most of the fishing boats are kept under cover in a large garage. There is a bass fishing tournament starting next week on Lake Okeechobee. This lake boasts the worlds best bass fishing. Other fish caught here include speck, sunfish, catfish, pickerel, bowfin and gar.

This campground is next door to Lake Okeechobee as seen below.
Vast campground with 9-hole golf course.
There are many large rigs like this in this campground.
The smallest rig in the campground: a Mercedes Benz convertible and a small tent.
We went to the East Coast at Vero Beach for lunch with my cousin Armand Langevin. Armand is an incredible athlete having completed 60 Triathlons in 10 years. We enjoyed a nice lunch at Mr. Manatees and later drove around the town.

Most of the land between Vero Beach and Okeechobee is cattle country.
We did see one dairy farm.
And only one citrus farm (their oranges are terrific).
