Cast Your Line Where the Water Stays Calm
Fishing and lake activities at Butch's Hideaway RV Park bring you directly to the shoreline of Lake Rosalie in Lake Wales, Florida.
You can fish from private docks right on Lake Rosalie when you stay at Butch's Hideaway RV Park in Lake Wales. Lighted docks let you keep your line in the water well after the sun goes down, and calm conditions make it easy to bring a boat or spend time near the shoreline without dealing with heavy waves or crowded launch areas.

The property includes a private concrete boat ramp that puts you on the water in minutes and a fish cleaning station positioned near the docks where you can process your catch without hauling equipment back to your RV site. Whether you bring your own boat and gear or prefer to fish from the dock with a rod and tackle box, the setup allows you to move between the water and your campsite throughout the day.

Fishing Licenses
Florida fishing regulations apply to all visitors. Anglers age 16 -64 are required to carry a valid Florida freshwater fishing license, which can be obtained online before arrival. Catch limits and seasons may vary, so check current state guidelines.
What You Notice on the Water and at the Docks
When you arrive in Lake Wales, you drive straight to the boat ramp if you are launching, or you walk to one of the private docks with your gear. The docks stay lit after dark, so you can fish during cooler evening hours when activity picks up along the shoreline. Wildlife sightings happen regularly while you are on the water or waiting for a bite.
After a few hours on Lake Rosalie, you return to the fish cleaning station with your cooler and handle the cleaning process before heading back to your site. The concrete ramp makes loading and unloading your boat straightforward, and the calm water means you spend less time adjusting to conditions and more time enjoying the lake.
You bring your own boat, fishing equipment, bait, and cooler. The property provides the ramp, docks, cleaning station, and access to the lake. If you prefer not to fish, the same docks and shoreline offer space to relax, watch the water, and take in the natural surroundings without feeling rushed or crowded.
