4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabin camping near Clarcona ranges from rustic one-room shelters to fully equipped deluxe cabins, with options spanning simple park cabins to resort-style accommodations. Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort offers deluxe cabins with full kitchens, private bathrooms, screened porches, and air conditioning. Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground features cabins within the natural setting of a spring-fed state park. Most include basic furnishings such as beds, tables, and seating areas. "The cabin was absolutely amazing, clean, spacious, and stocked with everyone we needed. Just had to bring food," noted one camper about Lake Louisa State Park's accommodations. Blue Spring State Park Campground provides cabin options with electricity and water, allowing visitors to enjoy nature while maintaining essential comforts.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Wekiva Falls RV Resort offers simpler cabin accommodations while Orlando/Kissimmee KOA provides more amenity-rich options including "deluxe cabins that sleep 4, 6 or 8 people and come with bunk bed set, futon/sofa sleeper and a queen-sized bed along with a private bath and shower, TV with cable offering over 20 channels." Most cabin rentals require advance reservations, especially during peak tourist seasons. Pet policies vary significantly - Disney's Fort Wilderness allows pets in designated cabins, while Kelly Park Campground prohibits pets entirely. Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake and Blue Spring State Park both permit pets in certain cabin areas.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic microwave and mini-fridge setups to fully equipped kitchens with stovetops and refrigerators. One review mentioned that at Nova Campground, "for $50 a day we had an igloo, basically a tiny cabin, AC, a bathroom very nearby, electric, AND a pool!!" Publix and Walmart supermarkets are located within driving distance of most cabin campgrounds near Clarcona, allowing guests to stock up on groceries and supplies. Wekiwa Springs and Blue Spring State Parks have small camp stores with limited provisions. Orlando/Kissimmee KOA offers an on-site market for basic necessities, while Lake Dorr Cabin comes equipped with canoes for recreation on the lake.

"This state park has good camp sites with fine hard packed sand. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings. Two circles make up the camp sites."
"The youth camp is secluded from the family campground, and the cabins are nicely spaced among beautiful pines. The cabins are clean and have comfortable mattresses--some cabins have a bathroom."

"Cabin "camped" at Lake Louisa for a long weekend. The cabin was absolutely amazing, clean, spacious, and stocked with everyone we needed. Just had to bring food."
"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."

"You can’t get more centrally located that bill Frederick. Located In metro west, this park is close to both the theme parks, and a commutable distance to north Orlando."
"This campground in located central to major attractions in the Orlando area. The campground is very small and very quiet."
from $20 - $100 / night
"There are beautiful walking trails, beautiful and refreshing cool springs, kayak rentals for $20. There are also some small caves there for anyone who free dives or snorkels."
"Needed a place to stay to go to the Winter Park Art Fest. The people at check in were extremely friendly and had great customer service."
from $40 - $73 / night
"Great little spot in Kelly Park with access to Rock Springs Unfortunately the springs were closed due to COVID, but Wekiwa Springs is down the road so we were able to check that out!"

ScoutTim and Leisha were the best! Great campsite close to Disney is what we wanted.. clean and well organized. They make you feel at home and they even invited us to dinner at the pool and provided all the food. I will definitely be going back when I’m in town. They loved our kiddos too!
LegendAt first glance, Intercoastal Retreat just north of Titusville off US1 looks like it might offer a quiet, waterside escape, but once you pull in, it quickly becomes clear this is more of a long-term resident RV park than a comfortable family campground. While a few areas feel newer and recently refreshed, the internal roadways are in rough shape with deep potholes and aggressive speed bumps that make navigating with kids, bikes, or even walking feel frustrating rather than relaxing. The RV sites themselves are very tight and closely packed, with little privacy and a strong semi-permanent resident vibe that doesn’t lend itself well to families looking for a friendly, communal camping experience. One moment that really crystallized things for us was watching the boys step out of the truck, look around at the cramped setup and uneven roads, and quietly ask if this was where we were staying for the night, which told us everything we needed to know. From what we saw, there isn’t a standout best site here, as most feel equally constrained and exposed to traffic within the park. We would not recommend Intercoastal Retreat for families, but instead would point families to Willow Lakes Golf & RV Resort, which sits just down the road and offers a far more welcoming layout, smoother infrastructure, and an overall experience that feels intentionally designed for families looking for nicer amenities.
LegendPulling into Cape Kennedy RV Resort just off I-95 in Mims felt like stepping into a haven of wide skies and gentle breezes, where the lush shade trees and relaxed layout of this RV park immediately invited us to exhale and settle into a slower pace after a long day on the road. The RV sites are roomy and shaded, giving you that sense of being tucked into nature even though you’re just minutes from the highway, and the clean, well-maintained facilities make set-up feel effortless. One of my favorite moments here was watching the boys gather sticks for a small, post-dinner campfire while fireflies blinked around the grassy edge of our site and the river reflected the last warm colors of sunset, laughter and simple chatter weaving into a perfect end-of-day memory. The best campsites are the ones located on the western side of the property where you can wake up to the chirping of birds, covered by solid shade while sipping your morning coffee, which makes lingering here feel like a little slice of calm amidst the journey. We’d recommend Cape Kennedy RV Resort for families who appreciate EZ interstate access, shady, beautifully spaced sites, and a blend of nature and convenience.
ScoutIt has a little of everything you would enjoy about this type of outside camp ground. Has hiking and biking trails. Of course the beautiful water that stays 72 degrees all year long.
TravelerGrass is beyond high. Little dogs can get lost in the grass. Some of the pavers near the pool stairs are lifting to where you need to watch your step or it pinches your foot.
The pros- centrally located. Clean pool. Not too busy of a campground. Large places.
GuideGreat little spot. Seemed to rain every 5 minutes where they had to shut everything down but had good contingency plans. Golf carts galore with some sites a little more rowdy than the next, but plenty of room. Kids loved the pools and crafts, adults loved the tiki bars and live music.
LegendDelivering a blend of riverside charm and campground convenience to the banks of the St. Johns River, St. Johns River KOA in DeLand, FL is a great find for those looking for everything properly arranged for a riverfront encampment with EZ access to the frackish waters. Located just off State Road 44, it's an easy exit from Orlando or Daytona, but once you're settled, it feels like a peaceful riverfront retreat. First impressions? Pull into a shaded site, breathe in the river air and instantly realize you've landed in a camper’s version of lakeside serenity.
This KOA pulls no punches on amenities. You'll find full RV hookups (30 / 50 amp electric, water, sewer), spacious back-in and pull-through sites that fit up to 80' rigs, clean bathhouses, laundry, Wi Fi, a dog park and a center pavilion. At the water’s edge, there's a marina with boat and kayak rentals, a boat ramp and even a restaurant serving riverfront fare and weekend live music. All the staff you come into contact with here are friendly locals and a relaxed yet well-maintained environment that keeps you both entertained and relaxed. The crown jewel of this place? The Tiki Bar that sits atop John’s River Grille on-site at this location comes with just one rule: don’t show up late for the Happy Hour sundowning sessions!
Where this KOA shines is on the water. The St. Johns River is full of life, so expect to see manatees, turtles, great blue herons and even gators. Kayaking or paddling right from the campground is a breeze, and guided tours offer a closer look at local wildlife and quiet stretches of river. And when you want to stretch beyond the river, historic downtown DeLand, De Leon Springs State Park and the Ocala National Forest are all within easy reach.
Insider Tips? Here’s a smattering: (1) River-view pull-through sites are prime real estate for sunrises and quick water access, so book early for the best sites; (2) Kayak or paddle launch right from the boat ramp for ideal for wildlife spotting and scenic calm; (3) Guided river cruises (available on-site) unlock insider encounters with manatees and osprey at low cost; (4) Prefer quiet? Request a site farther from the pool and marina because foot traffic can rise near those areas; (5) Bugs gather at sunset, so bring repellent for riverside evenings; and (6) Nearby dining options include Shady Oak Restaurant (you could walk to from St. Johns River KOA), Gator Bites, Emmy’s Time Out Tavern for an old school supper club menu or Hyder Head Brewery for locally brewed hops and Haggis.
Happy Camping!
ScoutBeautiful. Friendly and fun
GuideNice 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.
Cabin accommodations near Clarcona, Florida offer access to the region's subtropical climate where temperatures rarely drop below freezing even in winter months. The surrounding area features gentle rolling terrain with numerous freshwater springs and lakes characteristic of central Florida. Cabin rentals in this region typically experience high demand during winter months when northern visitors seek warmer weather.
Spring swimming: Visit Blue Spring State Park Campground for crystal-clear spring water swimming. "Kayaked on the river, and even swam with manatees in the spring!!!" notes one visitor. The best manatee viewing happens between November and February.
Horseback riding: Only 20 miles from Clarcona, there are equestrian trails and facilities at several parks. "Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake offers every recreation in the book: boating, fishing, biking, hiking, frisbee golf, wildlife watching (petting farm), jungle gyms, horse boarding, grilling spots, swimming pool," explains one camper.
Fishing: Try early morning fishing at nearby lakes. "Lake Louisa is nice and peaceful, with areas to sit and watch wildlife and also a dock to walk out on," shares a visitor about Thousand Trails Orlando. The park offers dock access for launching small boats and kayaks.
Privacy between sites: Many cabins offer vegetation buffers for privacy. At Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground, "beautiful tall shady trees" surround the sites, and one reviewer noted their "site, 2, was a handicapped one, and beautiful. Restrooms directly behind us."
Theme park proximity: Cabin rentals provide affordable alternatives to hotels when visiting attractions. "[Thousand Trails Orlando] is only 30 minutes from most of the Orlando theme parks and shopping/restaurants are within 5-10 minutes," according to one review, making it convenient for families balancing nature and entertainment.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The area's natural springs attract diverse wildlife. "We were able to see tons of wildlife from all sorts of fish, alligators, and yes, a manatee!" noted a visitor at Blue Spring State Park Campground. Morning hours typically offer the best wildlife sighting opportunities.
Reservation timing: Book well in advance, especially during winter. A visitor to Lake Louisa State Park Campground advises, "Depending on where you are in Orlando, Lake Louisa State Park is less than a half hour away for most. Located south of Clermont, the state park is situated on a huge parcel of land."
Train noise: Some cabin locations experience railroad noise. One camper at Blue Spring State Park Campground mentioned "hearing trains throughout the night (especially at 3am) was not what I'm looking for when I get out into nature. So bring ear plugs!"
Swimming restrictions: Spring access sometimes has time limitations. "There is swimming in the park as soon as it opens, but you can only access the spring head and get into the clearer water before 11:00am and after 5pm," notes a visitor. Springs can close for manatee protection during winter months.
Rental equipment availability: Most parks offer equipment rentals. At Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake, "there's something here for everyone" with activities ranging from paddling to disc golf. A parent noted, "When the campground gets full when events like renaissance fair or dragon boat racing come through."
Swimming areas for different ages: Springs offer natural swimming but with specific safety rules. "The pool is a nice size pool with a small water slide. There is a splash area in the back for small kids," explains a visitor about Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort.
Pack extra towels: Springs remain 72 degrees year-round, which can feel chilly. "My only regret is going when a cold front came through. The water was FREEZING!" shared a camper at Kelly Park Campground, suggesting visitors plan accordingly for post-swimming warmth.
Early arrival recommendations: For Orlando/Kissimmee KOA, "we drove up to a gate where they asked us our name and then drove into the checkin area. We never had to get out of our car to checkin," notes one RVer about the convenient process for cabin check-ins.
Site selection tips: Look for full-service cabin options if available. "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," observed one visitor at Lake Louisa State Park Campground.
Wi-Fi considerations: Connection quality varies across cabin locations. At Wekiva Falls RV Resort, a visitor mentioned the cabins were close to facilities but noted, "WiFi signal is strong but very slow." Some parks offer stronger connections near community buildings.
