The Best Camping Near Astatula, Florida

It is a great campground! Access to the water is amazing! The views and wildlife were great also. We will go back!!

Awesome Campground

I’m so glad we found this place! The owners are wonderful people and so very helpful. Watching the sunsets from the dock was almost the best part of the day! 

Hidden gem!

Beautiful waterside sights, perfect place to bring the boat too. The lake it's connected to a handful of other lakes where you could boat to a different town everyday. Sites have plenty of space to make parking a breeze. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful views with convenient lake access 

Had such a great time at this campsite. Park management was very helpful and even escorted us to our site. Friendly neighbors and perfect lakeside view. 

Quiet getaway 

Maybe they choose the name of this RV enclave because they were either actively hiding from the rest of the known world or due to its location, was hidden from (nearly) plain sight. Whatever the thinking, I’m glad to have discovered this little waterfront gem in central Florida’s Astatula, a small hamlet located right on Lake Harris. While there’s a handful of manufactured homes on this site, there is a vibrant RV community with a decent number of open slots available when we stopped by. 

  

Sadly, for my tent camping brethren, there’s no spots here to set up camp for the night (see below for other nearby options). But if you have an RV, Hide-A-Way has lots of options from canal-facing, off-water, lakeview and my most favorite, lakefront. From an amenities standpoint, all RV slots offer full-service water, sewage and 50 / 30 amp electric (and 100 amp capability for luxe motorcoaches) hook-ups, designated trash dump, isolated marina with protected covered 18’ boat slips / launch, laundr-O-mat, fairly decent restroom and shower facilities, on-site ice dispenser, freezer, change machine and vending machines for snacks and sodas. The greatest amenity here though is the fairly new and well-maintained (minus all the spider webs) fishing pier with its covered pavilion – perfect for a day of dropping a line or having a waterfront picnic. 

  

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) Get yourself on Lake Harris for some excellent fishing, boating and kayaking. Further afield, I also recommend these lakes as well: Beauclaire, Ola and Carlton; (2) If you miss the hum and drum of civilization, in less than 30 minutes you can be walking among the well-heeled on the cobblestone streets of Mount Dora where there is no shortage of art galleries, restaurants and boutiques to choose from; (3) In the event that you have not heard of one of Florida’s greatest treasures – its natural springs – then I recommend you check out a few of the springs that are nearby, such as Kelly Springs and renowned Wekiwa Springs; (4) If you are looking for a nice place for good grub and a few suds, then check-out Cross Roads 561 Grill &amp; Music Bar with typical bar food, live music with waterfront views - and you can walk it from this camping outpost, which may be the best part!; and (5) If you are tent camping, then the hard concrete of Fisherman’s Cove simply won’t do, so I would suggest you drive less than 30 minutes from here where you will find a true campground paradise that will have you casting lines in some of the most pristine fresh water lakes, hoisting hammocks from live ancient Oaks dripping with Spanish Moss all with a lakefront vista that cannot be beat – Trimble Park Campground (read my review on TheDyrt for more specific details about this gem). 

  

Happy Camping!
