SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Camping options near Casselberry, Florida center primarily around state parks and recreation areas with developed facilities. Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground, located approximately 7 miles northwest of Casselberry, provides tent, RV, and cabin camping in a natural spring setting. Other notable options include Blue Spring State Park Campground and Wekiva Falls RV Resort, both offering access to crystal-clear spring waters. Most campgrounds in the area feature electric hookups, water, and designated sites for both tent and RV camping. Campers seeking urban proximity with natural surroundings will find several parks within a 30-minute drive of Casselberry.
Camping in Central Florida remains available year-round with consistently mild winter temperatures making it popular during cooler months when northern visitors seek warmer climates. Summer heat and humidity can be challenging for tent campers, with afternoon thunderstorms common from June through September. Most developed campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly during winter months when demand peaks. Several campgrounds, including Kelly Park and Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake, offer cabin accommodations for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping. Water-based activities are central to the camping experience, with spring-fed rivers and lakes providing swimming, kayaking, and wildlife viewing opportunities. As one camper noted, "The springs themselves are beautiful. Blue waters everywhere, constantly 72 degrees. Many opportunities for hiking, biking, swimming, and kayaking."
Proximity to natural springs represents the primary appeal for campers in this region. The crystal-clear, 72-degree spring waters provide year-round swimming and recreation opportunities regardless of season. Campers frequently mention wildlife sightings, including alligators, deer, gopher tortoises, and various bird species on hiking trails and waterways. Sites at Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground receive particular praise for their wooded settings and proximity to spring access, though some note the actual springs are a short drive from the campground area. Several reviews indicate weekends bring crowds to the popular springs, making weekday visits preferable for those seeking solitude. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, many campers appreciate the balance of natural surroundings with proximity to Orlando's attractions, with one visitor describing Wekiwa Springs as "a secluded feel for being so close to the big city."

LegendCandace R. Strawn-Lake Dias Park
Quiet Lakeside Getaway Near De Leon Springs
Tucked away at 5320 State Road 11 in De Leon Springs, Candace R. Strawn on Lake Dias Park is a modest (read: not a whole lot here), but charming lakeside retreat for tent campers and minimalist RVers who crave calm over crowds. Twenty to thirty wooded acres cradle flat, shaded ground just steps from the peaceful waters of Lake Dias. With fewer neighbors, the sound of wind effortlessly blowing through the encircling pines, an incessant chorus of crickets and the gentle ripples emanating from Lake Dias are your evening soundtrack. My favorite part about the layout here is that there's an interior road that you'll need to access off State Road 11 that creates a sound buffer between you and the traffic swishing by.
The campground is quite basic with just a community boat launch, recently upgraded playground, a few picnic pavilions equipped with standard-issued picnic tables, stand-up adjustable grills, dated, but fairly clean restrooms and RV-friendly parking. No frills, no resorts. It’s not packed with amenities like pools or clubhouses, but instead offers level ground, easy lake access - so if you have fishing on your mind, this place is AMAZING - and a sense of being tucked into nature without all the big crowds. Fishing, kayaking or launching small boats from the ramp are top draws here.
Supplies and dining options are just a short drive away. The nearby town of De Leon Springs offers local grocery markets like Winn-Dixie in De Leon Springs or Walmart Supercenter in Deland and convenience stores on the long winding roads in between the thickly forested wooded wonderland you find yourself surrounded by and civilization. If you’re looking for a bit to eat, cupcakes and brunch await at the nearby Sugar Mill Restaurant located inside of De Leon Springs SP, which if you haven't been to an actual spring before, is DEFINITELY worth checking out. For outdoor gear or camping extras, the closest full-service hardware or sporting shop is in DeLand. And when it’s time for a meal after the campfire, you’ll find good fare at Lillian’s Dutch Bakery & Restaurant in De Leon Springs or Solid Ground Coffee Bar in DeLand for a latte and pastries.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) Choose one of the lake-side sites near the boat ramp for the best morning light and serenity; (2) Launch a kayak or canoe early from the free ramp to enjoy glassy water and quiet wildlife when morning is the most ideal; (3) Bring extra insect repellent as mosquitoes and no-see-ums can be active near the water at dusk and especially during the summer and shoulder seasons; (4) Shade is generous, but if you’re arriving mid-summer, consider pitching closer to the tree line for optimal breeze and cooler temps; (5) The park is pet-friendly, so your dog can enjoy walks along the rack of pines and lakeshore - but do be sure not to tie Fido to a tree or leave him alone for any length of time otherwise he'll make an appetizing snack for the gators; and (6) Weekends may get a little busier from local boaters, so consider arriving mid-week for maximum quietude.
Happy Camping!

KOA Orange Blossom
KOA NWORLANDO
A very nice campground northwest of Orlando in Apopka. It's near a small airport that only has small planes flying in and out. It's relatively quiet here with access to the major theme parks from the nearby expressway. The staff here are very nice and friendly. I've stayed here on and off for approximately 1 month this summer and plan on coming back here again for the winter.

Lake Louisa State Park
Nice state park. Plenty of lakes, but also plenty of gators at this time; hatching season. Wide open space, great roads. Not all sites have sewer hookups, it’s worth finding out which one before booking, if it is important for you. Even glamping tents and cabins are available, cabins are right next to the lake. Swimming area at Lake Louisa has a playground with swings and even a beach/swimming area, but that seems awfully dangerous, given the noises the gators make about 30 feet away. Unfortunately there is not a lot of things to do near the state park if one wants to do anything outside of camping, at least not a lot I could find, maybe you are better at that. Apparently it is very popular with bikers and triathletes, I have seen at least 10 today, using the great roads.

Sun Outdoors Orlando ChampionsGate
Disney Convenience Without the Disney Price Tag
If you're planning a visit to Walt Disney World or any of Orlando's major attractions and prefer staying in your own RV over an expensive hotel room, Sun Outdoors Orlando Champions Gate continues to be one of the more convenient options in the area. Since my original visit, the resort has matured nicely, with its modern facilities, clean grounds and resort-style atmosphere making it an appealing basecamp for exploring Central Florida. And make no mistake about it, while this is very much an RV resort – not a nature campground – this spot succeeds by delivering comfort, convenience and easy access to everything the Orlando area has to offer.
While my review from a few years ago provides a ton of detail, I thought I would follow up that review with a topline of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS along with a smattering of new photos.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Beautifully renovated facilities that still feel modern and well-maintained; (2) Outstanding heated swimming pool, clubhouse and spotless comfort stations remain the centerpiece of the resort; (3) Full-hookup RV sites with concrete pads make setup quick and easy; (4) Exceptional location just minutes from Walt Disney World, ChampionsGate with countless dining, shopping and entertainment options; and (5) Everyday conveniences like Publix, Aldi, CVS and numerous restaurants remain close enough that you can leave the RV parked and run errands with ease.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) The campground still feels more like an RV resort than a traditional campground, with relatively little mature landscaping or natural privacy; (2) Larger fifth wheels and motorhomes may find some sites a bit tighter than expected; (3) Tent campers will likely find the experience less appealing due to the predominance of paved surfaces and surrounding RVs; (4) Depending on your site's location, nearby road traffic can occasionally detract from the otherwise relaxing atmosphere; and (5) If you're seeking a true Florida nature experience, you'll need to venture beyond the campground to nearby lakes, conservation areas or state parks.
Happy Camping!

Tomoka State Park Campground
Great water access
Nicely wooded sites. Has a boat launch, bike trail and very cool grounds with the Timucuan village site. Even a camp store.
C.J. C.GuideManatee Hammock Campground
Busy Park on the Indian River
Some campsites are close but the nice dog park and the location near Kennedy Space Center made me not mind so much. Great place to watch launches. Staff is friendly and park facilities are well looked after. The tent sites are on grass but close enough to the river to get cooling breezes in hotter months.
Guide to Casselberry
Campgrounds near Casselberry, Florida feature several primitive sites along with established parks offering modern amenities. The region sits at an elevation of about 60 feet above sea level with a subtropical climate that ranges from humid summers with frequent afternoon thunderstorms to mild winters with temperatures rarely dropping below 50°F. Several campgrounds provide direct access to natural springs that maintain a consistent 72-degree water temperature year-round, creating ideal swimming conditions regardless of season.
What to do
Tubing adventures at Rock Springs: Kelly Park Campground offers excellent tubing along the crystal clear spring run. "To reserve it you will need to go to the Orange County Park and Recreation website," notes Shelly R., who adds that "a short walk leads to a very nice playground with typical park equipment. My kiddos loved that playground."
Wildlife observation along Econlockhatchee River: East Camp — Little Big Econ State Forest provides primitive camping areas perfect for nature enthusiasts. "You could spend an entire day just getting lost around the trails. So much fun. Not a very difficult trial though," writes Hannah S. Lori E. mentions "it took a little bit of recon to find this since Little Big Econ has so many trails."
Lake fishing and water sports: Lake Monroe Park sits where the St. Johns River meets Lake Monroe, offering both fishing and boating opportunities. "Great camp site with just what you needed. It's close to a power plant and railroad so you hear a lot of noise at night but was perfect for a one nighter," mentions Jude, who found it an ideal short-stay location.
What campers like
Spring swimming opportunities: Blue Spring State Park Campground attracts visitors with its famous springs and manatee viewing. "Kayaked the river, and even swam with manatees in the spring!!!" reports Anna C., while Jenn B. adds that "this is a great park with tons to do. Sites are well maintained. They are close, but there is a lot of vegetation in between."
Secure camping environments: Lake Mills Park features enhanced security measures appreciated by solo campers. "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," notes Emily A.
Natural settings close to urban areas: Magnolia Park Campground offers a balance of nature and convenience. "Clean well kept camping and picnicking. Basketball court is included along with volleyball court," David W. observes. Another camper adds: "Great park for the money. Quite park that is very pretty and well maintained. Close to a lot to do in the area. Wild peacocks on site are cool to see."
What you should know
Campground popularity and timing: Wekiva Falls RV Resort experiences high traffic during peak seasons. "Weekends are always busy, they plan things for both adults and kids," mentions Tonia B., who enjoys the activities. Megan K. suggests "It would be a good idea to bring a bike as a walk from one to the other might be far for most in the Florida summer heat."
Site reservation requirements: Most parks require advance booking, particularly during winter months. Jordan F. notes that Lake Mills Park has "14 sites all spread out in a single area" and while somewhat remote, is still "about 40 minutes from universal studios, longer to Disney."
Noise considerations: Several campgrounds experience noise from nearby roads or facilities. Jeff A. explains about Lake Mills Park: "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."
Tips for camping with families
Choose campgrounds with dedicated play areas: Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake offers extensive family-friendly facilities. "This park offers every recreation in the book: boating, fishing, biking, hiking, frisbee golf, wildlife watching (petting farm), jungle gyms, horse boarding, grilling spots, swimming pool. There's something here for everyone," suggests Kelsey G.
Consider timing for spring visits: When visiting spring-based parks, arrival timing matters. Hannah S. advises, "If you go on a weekend, make sure you go EARLY! Line of car starts around 9am and park will close at capacity" at Wekiwa Springs State Park.
Pack for Florida's climate: Summer heat requires preparation at all nearby campgrounds. Visitors to Little Big Econ should "be weary of the weather. In summer at nights mosquitos come out here and will eat you up no matter how much bug spray you put on!" warns Brooklee E.
Tips from RVers
Site selection for larger rigs: Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground accommodates various RV sizes but requires planning. "Our campsite was 1709. We were walking distance to the pool, arcade, trading post, and campfire/sing along," writes Samantha O., but cautions "There is not a lot of room in the loops to pull your rv into the spot...Holy moly did it take a lot to get this into our spot."
Hookup availability variations: RV hookup types differ across the best places to camp near Casselberry. Richard B. notes about Kelly Park that "Sites are spread out and wooded. Bathhouse is always super clean. Springs are beautiful," but adds "water spigot on the wrong end of the site" as a potential inconvenience.
Consider dump station locations: Many campgrounds offer dump stations rather than site hookups. Scott B. observed at Magnolia Park Campground, "sites are paved, with a good amount of privacy. Only complaint was our site was pretty unlevel and we had to max out our Anderson leveling blocks to get it right."
