About

State Park

The natural theme park of Lake Louisa State Park showcases a diversity of wildlife, including deer, bobcat, gopher tortoises, fox squirrel and flighted creatures like bald eagles and osprey.

The park is home to 11 distinct natural plant communities and lies within the eastern boundary of the Green Swamp Area of Critical State Concern and the northern boundary of the Lake Wales Ridge.

The park’s three major lakes, Louisa, Hammond and Dixie, transform idle observers into active participants with opportunities for canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding. Bicycling is popular on the park’s seven miles of paved roads over rolling hills and on the 20 miles of unpaved multi-use trails.

Fabulous!

Perhaps the nicest park we've stayed at.  We arrived after dark in the midst of a torrential 3-inch downpour, but the next morning there was no mud or standing water.  Amazing!  Shower facilities are recently remodeled and impeccable, with new wall tiles and epoxy floors throughout.  Laundry machines take coin or credit card.  They have plastic bag dispensers for dog cleanup.  Such features make Lake Louisa particularly suitable for an extended stay.  All the RV lots in our loop were L-shaped pads with an extension for the picnic table.  Sites are spacious and open.  Nice mix of back-in and pull-through sites.  Lots of paved roads outside the campsite loops for biking.

Very clean, nice campground

Very clean, nice park. Super clean facilities, bathrooms, sites. Lovely park. Large hiking trail network. Lots of lakes. Saw at least one gator in the lake by campground so be careful and watch your kids & pups. Most sites have only partial shade at best and it was very hot when we were there (high 80s and into the 90s in Feb). It’s a dryer ecosystem with lower brush and trees than parks that have the big live oaks. Plan for heat. Perhaps it used to be a citrus orchard because there are wild tangerines growing on the hike around the lake. Nice place.

Beautiful Lake Louisa

Lake Louisa is located on the edge of the Orlando metropolitan region. Close to Disney but accessible to other area attractions and communities, if that's what you are lookimg to do.

We needed a break from life so we went to chill and hang out in the park. What a beautiful park it is. Miles of trails, a small beach, 3 lakes for fishing and kayaking, and 2 fishing piers. They also have equestrian facilities for horseback riding. Including a stable where you can sign up to join a ride.

The park's campground is compact with 2 very clean bathhouse, a small camp store, and 60 sites. The sites are nicely setup with lots of privacy. There are a few sites with both 50 amp electric and sewer service. One issue, especially in the summer, is the lack of shade so make sure you bring your own shade structures and a fan. In addition to traditional sites, the park has glamping tents, eco tents, primitive tent sites, equestrian sites, cabins, and a youth group area.

The park is really beautiful. The riolling hills, pine forests, and pretty lakes. The wild flowers are also very pretty.

We've been to many of Florida's state parks and this is among our new favorites. Just love it! Enjoy!

Quiet in an urban setting

We reserved this site so that we could be at Disney World bright & early the next day! We arrived late due to vehicle issues & I happened to call ahead and they gave me the gate code. I re-read my emails and that was noted (to call by 5pm local time if arriving late). Sites are super flat & nice picnic tables.

Booked a site for a quick overnighter to test some equipment. Summer in Florida equals season. Ranger was friendly and informative at check in. Sites are very clean and not on top of each other. Bathroom facilities were clean and great for use. Plenty of trails and on-site activities to do to enjoy the outdoors. Overall great for an overnight trip or a weekend trip to get away for a couple of days.

Lovely campground

This stage park has lots to offer - great trails for hiking and biking, boat launches, fishing, or just relaxing. We stayed at site #43 which has water/elec. hookup, dump station near by. All of the sites seemed level, most are quite private with a fair amount of trees/foliage in between sites, have a sizable picnic table and nice fire ring with grate. We were here in February and we had no problems with bugs. The bath house was very clean and modern, with spacious shower stalls and plenty of hot water. Just up the road from Citrus Showcase if you are looking for oranges and other goodies. A great find - We would love to go back when we can stay longer!

Who knew? Check it out!

Situated right off of rout 27, a very busy 3 lane state road and not too far from Disney Parks is Lake Louisa State Park. This wasn’t on our initial“A” list of parks to hit as it is a little too close to Orlando for our tastes and driving on I-4 with a trailer is sometimes less than enjoyable, but the Covid has changed some of that. The roads were surprisingly open for a weekend“in-season”. This was definitely an under promise and over deliver weekend in spite of the overcast and rainy weather. 

The campground is situated between two lakes, Dixie and Hammond. Lake Louisa is much larger but quite a distance from the campground. With three loops, the campground is quite large but didn’t seem as big as it was. The park also offers really nice cabins overlooking the lake on a hill as well as what they call“care free camp sites” which is a modern form of Glamping. I have a few pics attached. 

We are not theme park people but if I was this would be a great way to do it in either a cabin or tent and a day trip to the park. The campground also has Canoe/Kayak rentals and a small store with essentials including ice and firewood. 

The park is in Claremont which is a bedroom community to Orlando so the park sees quite a bit of“day trippers” from Tampa, Lakeland and Orlando as it should. The hiking is great, you can also horseback ride and the biking is really great too. The park has quite a bit of topography for a Florida State Park which tend to more or less flat so the cycling looked really good. Next time we’ll bring our road bikes in addition to my OneWheel and Canoe. 

All the sites looked pretty good. We were in the third loop in site #43 which was on the inside and next to the bath house but with enough buffer space you didn’t notice anybody at all. We commented that we should have brought laundry as it would have been really convenient.

Lots to do at this Florida State Park with an overall good vibe for sure. Don’t let the proximity to a rather large population fool you, it is great place to visit!

The site for our motorhome was immaculate upon arrival, we loved the amount of space between each site. The rangers and camp hosts are very friendly. The bath houses were super clean and we loved that there was a washer and dryer located outside. We'll be returning for a longer stay in the future.

Great Park with lots of Activities...also near Disney

Lake Louisa is located in Clermont Florida and is only 20 miles from Disney in Orlando. It is a newer park and the facilities were really nice. We stayed here in June and bugs were only bad at nightfall. We got good reception with our verizon and only ok with our sprint.

This park is one of our many Trifecta parks, meaning we can hike, bike and kayak. We were easily able to roll our Kayaks to Dixie lake from our campsite. We stayed at a site in Dixie loop sites sites 1-30. Hammond lake was across the road from our campground. The other campground (Sandhill) is equally nice with the same gravel sites, 30/50 amp electricity and water but not quite as close to the lake. There is a dump station and some of the sites have full hookup with sewer. Reserve America does not note which ones have sewer too but when I did some more research I found one review that mentioned that site #’s 16,18,20, 30, 32,33, 34 (ADA), 35,36 (ADA), 37,38,39, &40 are the sites that have sewer too. Note: Only a couple of sites offer a water view due to the foliage and the trees.

In addition to the campground for Rv,tents and trailers....this park has cute little teepees for rent, tent sites, primitive sites,group sites, 20 cabins (no pets allowed) and even an equestrian campground with stalls and a corral. There are kayak,bike and canoe rentals at the Dixie Lake area camp store which is located next to the campgrounds. When you rent a kayak - you will only be able to kayak on Hammond Lake (unless you hand carry it across the street yourself to Dixie lake if the rules allow that) There are also fishing piers at both Dixie and Hammond Lake. You can also fish and boat on Lake Louisa too. There is also a cute hidden lake called Bear Lake that you can bike or drive to and even put in your kayak or electric boat on this more remote lake. However, since there is no public boat ramp access to Lake Louisa -unless you can hand carry or roll your boat to water....you will need to go to the Palatlakaha River Park and Boat Ramp to put your larger boat into the lake (there are no docks at the park for tying up your boat)

This park has totally awesome park roads for biking, trails for mountain biking and hiking, and equestrian trails. Be sure to carry a map, I got a little lost hiking because not all the trails were well marked. We also enjoyed riding our bikes into Clermont.

Lots of campsites available, everything from walk in to 90 ft campers. Multiple lakes with canoe/kayak rentals. No boat ramp on State property, however there are several within 20 miles.Lake Louisa is the largest lake, allows unlimited hp, jet skis, and has decent fishing for Bass and crappie, Lots of catfish also, with an occasional mudfish caught while fishing for other species.

Campgrounds are quiet, patrolled, very clean. Lots of walking trails to see the abundant wildlife. Although there is a warning for gators, I have been camping/fishing over a dozen times and have yet to see the first one. Children should have no problem catching bluegill at any of the lakes near campgrounds, worms are best, but crickets,minnows, and occasionally small spinners produce results.

Secluded hilly park with immaculate facilities

Secluded campground in natural Florida. Hookup sites were well kept and at the end of the park so there was no thru traffic. To get to the hookup sites it Is an 8-10 minute drive from park entrance. Keep that In mind when running errands (making that drive multIple times a day can be annoying). But the benefit Is a quiet campground. Amenities are very clean. Most sites have 10-30 feet between them. Sunsets are not to be missed here. Lake Louisa area and Clermont is the only hilly area of Central Florida. The pine forests here make you think you might not be in Florida. Great park for people who want Natural Florida without the tourist traps and beach towns.
