Story and photos courtesy SunLand RV Resorts Considered one of South Florida’s top RV destinations, Silver Palms RV Resort has become the destination of choice for RVers looking to secure their personal piece of Florida paradise.
Situated on 90 nature-rich acres including a 17-acre wildlife preserve, the resort provides a serene getaway for its owners and guests while also enjoying access to everything the surrounding Okeechobee area has to offer. Though long regarded as an agricultural town, Okeechobee has become a popular tourist attraction over the years with people flocking from all over the nation to indulge in its stunning landscapes, noteworthy nature trails, and exquisite sightseeing. Its easy access to Lake Okeechobee, one of the best bass fishing destinations in Americas, makes Silver Palms the perfect spot for avid fishermen. Equally appealing is its centralized location, with Orlando’s theme parks and attractions being a mere 160 km (100 mi) away and such major cities as Port St. Lucie, Fort Myers, Miami, and Tampa all located within an hour and a half drive.
The benefits of ownership at Silver Palms don’t end with its location however, as potential owners are able to not only choose the perfect lot (selecting from lake front, interior, privacy, and
preserve sites) but to also customize it with landscaping, outdoor kitchens, Tiki huts, and more.
Once settled in, the true allure of Silver Palms begins to be felt by new owners as they take advantage of its countless 5-star amenities and ongoing roster of activities. After all, Silver Palms isn’t simply another place to park one’s RV; it’s a fully immersive escape from the rigors of every day life and an oasis that is defined by its luxury and comfort.
Silver Palms’ resort-quality amenities begin with a dip in its expansive pool and heated spa while enjoying a bite to eat or a drink from the poolside bar and café. A state-of-theart fitness center is perfect for anyone looking to work up a sweat, while the resort’s clubhouse features weekly live entertainment, billiards tables, ample lounge space, and more. Silver Palms is also a sports lover’s paradise, offering a variety of outdoor activities including bocce ball, shuffleboard, basketball, and volleyball, among others.
By far the most engaging outdoor sport, though, is pickleball. Originally created in 1965, and now boasting over 100,000 members in the USA Pickleball Association, the sport combines a bit of tennis, badminton and even pingpong to create an action packed, low impact workout for seniors. Today Silver Palms boasts 10 professional level pickleball courts and a growing pickleball community of over 60 players of all levels of experience. Organized play takes place Monday through Friday and weekly courses are held for beginners and advanced players looking to perfect their skills. Courts are also lighted for play day or night!
Finally, regardless of one’s personal interests there is likely to be a related daily or weekly activity taking place at Silver Palms. Popular organized activities include painting, quilting, and cooking classes; zumba, yoga, water aerobics and other group workouts; dance classes; games such as bingo, bunco, poker, or Texas hold ‘em; and so much more!
So whether you want a quiet night cooking on your outdoor kitchen, a vigorous workout, or a lively game of pickleball, Silver Palms has it all!
