Lake Mills Park

The sound of traffic from nearby roads provides a steady backdrop at this 14-site county campground in Chuluota, where tent campers find clean facilities and direct lake access. Seminole County manages Lake Mills Park as part of a larger day-use area that includes a playground, fishing pier, and sand volleyball court.

Campers can walk directly from their sites to the lake's fishing pier, which sits in a protected cove area where visitors regularly catch small fish and spot turtles. The park features a fitness trail that loops through the day-use section, plus a boardwalk through wetlands when repairs are complete. Sites vary in size, with some offering more privacy than others among the trees. A central bathhouse provides showers and restrooms, with exterior sinks for camp cleanup.

The campground operates with gated access using daily security codes, which solo campers particularly appreciate. "This is the perfect place for a weekend camp out," notes Tracy L H., who observed families using both the camping area and day-use facilities during organized events. Road noise from surrounding development is audible, especially from sites near the entrance, though most campers report it doesn't significantly impact their stay.

Lake Mills Park works well for families introducing children to camping, offering park amenities within walking distance and opportunities for campgrounds around Oviedo exploration.

Very enjoyable and secure

I really enjoyed this campground one because the walking trails and boardwalk are very nice as is the lake. My favorite thing however, was the gate with secure code that changes every day, and the fact that the bathrooms were also locked by a secure code. The bathrooms were nice and I liked that people couldn’t just come in to the park at just any time. This is appreciated as a solo camper.

Secure and beautiful

As a camper that often camps alone, I loved that the park gate closes and locks at night (with a code for campers to exit and enter) and the campground itself has a gate that is always locked as do the bathrooms so they stay fairly nice. And a very good price with a beautiful lake and walking trails. Will visit again.

Great Little Camp

Lake Mills has 14 sites to choose from, some being bigger than others. All sites were clean and very well cared for. The whole park was nice. Kids enjoyed the playground and fishing from the dock. We will definitely be back! Great for first timers, quick get away, or even an extended stay. Other reviews mentioned the park being too loud at night due to the local bar and traffic. We were on site number 1, which is right by the entrance and road. No complaints whatsoever. Bathrooms are currently being remodeled, but there was a temp trailer bathroom that was kept cleaned by a local company.

Weekend trip

The good: This is a beautiful clean campground attached to a nice community park. 14 sites total some closer to each other than others, but we had no neighbors. There is a centrally located bathroom and shower, with a convenient large exterior sink. The park provided plenty of daytime entertainment for our kids; awesome playground, fishing, volleyball, etc.

The bad: noise. Traffic can be clearly heard on the main streets that border the campground. Also, there is an adjacent country bar, or “honky-tonk“ if you will. with the sound system that was set up we could clearly hear everything that was going on there. Luckily the music was clean, and the kids enjoyed listening to Saturday nights venue of micro wrestling.

In all, we will definitely be camping here again. It is a great spot for a quick trip. Just don’t expect total seclusion in the great outdoors.

County park with camping

Almost no one here, 14 sites all spread out in a single area. The boardwalk was closed and for good reason, in serious disrepair in some areas. Campsites themselves don’t accomodate rvs and don’t have any hookups. They do have a grill and a place to hang up food, and a single small parking space. The campsite is spacious and features a picnic table on cement and an open area surrounded by trees. It’s in a somewhat remote area of an overdeveloped part of Florida, about 40 minutes from universal studios, longer to Disney. The lake is nice, the park is very nice with a city park vibe.

Ranger Review: Grub Stick at Lake Mills Park in Seminole County, Florida

Campground Review: Grub Stick at Lake Mills Park, Seminole County, FL

I took part in helping with a Great American Camp Out for 36 families with over 126 people at Lake Mills Park in Seminole County, FL. This was a special use event so we used the big open field areas in the day use part of the park near the lake. This was a very, very good and well run event on everyone's part. I did visit the campground area and give it a thorough inspection as well as talked to staff that was there helping out with the event too. There were 13...I mean 14 spaces available for camping in tents. There was a community bathroom with small showers. This is the perfect place for a weekend camp out. The camp sites are just a short walk to the lake and the fishing pier. There is a boardwalk through the wetlands but it was closed at the moment, but the staff I talked with said it was going to be repaired and opened back up soon. They also mentioned that the park was slated for some upgrades and amenities this coming year. They do not encourage swimming in the lake but while I was there I did see some people in the water. The fishing pier was nice and in a cove like area. Several in our group caught some small fish and some turtles too. There is a fit para course that goes around the day use area. A nice bathroom is there near some picnic shelters that have grills beside them and the small amphitheater area. There is a nice playground for the kids to play on with picnic tables and grills nearby. There is also a sand volleyball court. Everyone in our group....all 126+ enjoyed the park immensely. I can imagine the lake being a great spot to kayak too.

Lake Mills Park is not to far from the Little Big Econ State Forest and Econ River Wilderness Area. There are many other places not to far away to that are neat for exploring. A day to Titusville would be a good adventure.

This park is nice and quiet, But you can hear cars going by on the main road just outside the park at night, BUT it wasn't a big deal to any of us. Just a little background noise once in awhile.

Product Review: Grub Stick

As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get to test products. At Lake Mills Park I tested The Grub Stick: The Four Piece set with Cinch Bag and the Thirteen Piece Deluxe set with Zippered Bag.

https://grubstick.com/

The four piece comes with: a telescopic stick, a grubfork implement, a grubcage, and a release tool and comes in a cinch sack.

The thirteen piece comes with: two telescopic sticks, two grubfork implements, a grubcage, a burgcage, a grubtube, grubpocket, a release tool, a finger protector, a hot pad, a food holder ring, and a zippered bag.

1. I love the idea of having this telescopic stick to cook multiple different ways and multiple different foods. It is fun to try out the different implements and foods. The website by the way has many different recipes you can cook with the various implements. Who doesn't want to cook over an open fire for fun!!

2. I love the 4 piece cinch sack since it is great for one person and lightweight for a back pack.

3. The 13 piece Deluxe set is awesome for family and friends camp out since there are more sticks and implements. I will take both and use them all when its family and friends.

4. I find the metal and the implements hold up well to the heat and use. The bags make it easy to contain everything in one spot.

5. It is easy to clean up.

6. It is also great that you can combine several sets for larger groups and they all work together with all the different sticks and implements.

I can't wait to go camping again with these. Especially with my nephews who will love getting to cook over the open fire.

Great place to camp!

We love this campground! We have camped here many times and also just have visited their awesome park and pavilions. The campsites are nice, we had our favorite one. It was big and secluded so we had privacy. Our tent is like the Taj Mahal of tents and we bring lots of stuff with us and we had plenty of room. The bathhouses are very nice and clean. There is a huge park with a great playground, which the kids love, and also a big lake. The pavilions can be used by anyone for the day and they range from small to large. This is just a great place!
