Best RV Parks & Resorts near Durant, FL

Lazydays RV Resort in Seffner maintains 50-amp electric service, full sewer and water hookups on paved pads with concrete patios throughout the campground. Hidden River RV Resort and Citrus Hills RV Park both accommodate large motorhomes with pull-through sites, though spacing between units can be tight. "The sites are very close together. No fire pits. Lots of highway noise and a shipping center next door with backup alarms going off every minute starting at 5 am," noted one camper about Lazydays. Forest Lake Village RV Resort and Encore Winter Quarters Pasco feature big rig friendly spaces with full hookup capabilities, though the latter has extremely close site arrangements that can make maneuvering difficult for larger units.

Several parks in the region operate year-round, with peak demand occurring during winter months when snowbirds migrate south. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, RV travelers should be aware that some resorts primarily serve as retirement communities with strict noise regulations. Most facilities provide sanitary dump stations, trash collection, and showers, though amenities vary considerably between properties. Cell service remains reliable throughout the Durant area. Pets are generally permitted in designated areas, with many parks featuring dedicated dog runs. Reservations become essential during the Tampa RV Supershow in January and the Strawberry Festival in March when local campgrounds reach capacity. Highway noise affects several parks, particularly those situated near Interstate 4.

    LeLynn RV Resort

    Lakefront RV Pitstop Stone's Throw From I4

    Located just 45 minutes SW of the Magical Kingdom conveniently resting just a stone’s throw from I4, LeLynn RV Resort is a spacious, pet-friendly property that is definitely more geared for the RV driving or 5th wheel toting crowd. Surrounded by lakes in every direction – Little Lake Agnes sits directly west of the property, with its bigger sister Lake Agnes just further northwest, Lake Tennessee to the southwest, Lake Juliana to the south and Lake Mattie to the southeast, while Lake Helene can be found to the north and a smaller unnamed lake due east a smidge.  If you were surrounded by any more water, you'd be starring opposite Kevin Costner in 'Waterworld!'

    While LeLynn RV Resort will accommodate you for about as long as you’d like, this place impressed upon me more of a layover than an actual destination. The community that we discovered here was incredibly friendly and inviting, but nearly everyone we met was enroute to some other, better place in the great Sunshine state ... and quite a few folks look like they have no business moving from this place any time soon. This RV depot somewhat lives up to its name as a resort as it does offer an inground pool that is lake facing (again, not that challenging to do here in Central Florida) along with decent (not excellent) restrooms & shower facilities, laundry-O-mat, boat ramp, metered LP gas, dump station, shuffleboard and horseshoes along with WiFi and cable TV options. If you desire kayaking, canoeing or fishing, you need only access the nearest lake of your choosing. There’s 220 sites with FHU’s offering 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) IMHO the best sites are those that are lakefront on the property’s northwestern most perimeter; (2) While the parking accommodations are concrete pads that will provide a nice level plain for the stay along with a solid accompanying patio, there’s virtually no trees and hence shade anywhere on the property, so while that might not matter for a single night, if staying longer, you’ll likely want to bring your own shade with you; (3) Should you need to load up on supplies while on your trip, just due south of LeLynn RV Resort is a Publix that will cater to all of your grocery needs; and (4) While you’ll feel like you’re out in the boondocks in these parts (and trust me, you are), there’s a number of great little eateries like The Back Porch, Frescos Southern Kitchen, Purple Pit Stop, Polk City BBQ Co., Savage Tacos and Old Man Frank’s to choose from.

    Happy Camping!

    What an RV Show!

    There are more RVers here in the winter than I thought possible in one place not the Hershey or Tampa RV Show.  Lots of families, lots of older folks, overall a good mix of people.  

    There are multiple sections here each with a completely different feel.  D section is old-school, Florida State Park-like camping.  You have that romantic, southern charm and foliage.  It's tight for big rigs, lacks internet and getting your Starlink out there can be a challenge.  T-Mobile and AT&T work great out there but, it depends on what you need.  The new section is immaculate with large grass sites, nice pads and easy back-in sites for even the biggest fifth-wheels.  This is the best place if you have a need to work from your camper.  If, like us, you like to work from a tent, you cannot put anything on that beautiful grass campsite.  This is why we stay in the older section.  It's run-down, crumbling concrete pads that need to be repoured, decent sized sites AND you can use the grass.

    This is our third time here and we will keep coming back due to community and locality.  Not far from Disney though traffic makes it harder to get to the other parks.  Wawa and Publix are just outside the gate for your coffee and grocery needs.  

    Get here at noon ON THE DOT if you want a new site.  D section I recommend 35 feet or under, and enjoy the parade on Saturdays and Sunday as 40-100 new rigs come in.  

    STAY AWAY FROM THE SITES NEXT TO THE SEWER ACCESS, THEY STINK!

    21 Palms RV Resort

    Don't Mistake This Place For Palm Gardens

    Whether there is 21 Palm trees here or not, I was not able to tabulate, but this off-the-beaten path RV reclusive respite is conveniently located in central Florida just off the I-4 corridor on Exit 58 and just a 3 mile drive east on highway 532. This location features 70 or so pull-through and back-in RV slots complete with outdated and heavily cracked concrete slabs for your parking pleasure. Half of the slots here looked as though they are occupied by year-on-year residents who have given up moving their RV any further than this place. There were a good dozen or so free spots to park your RV in when we passed through.


    There’s a handful of amenities, although I will warn you, mostly everything here is fairly outdated. Here’s a line-up of what to expect: 30 / 50 amp electrical, water and waste hook-ups, laundr-O-mat, fitness center/ gym, a small lake for fishing, horsehoe pit, propane refill station, shuffleboard court, recreation hall, telephone hook-ups, small in-ground heated pool and surrounding patio with lounge chairs and a fairly decent lakeside view. This place is pet-friendly and aside from all of the dogs you’ll come across, you’ll see no shortage of long-necked cranes walking around as though they owned the place. Lovely. 

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) The small lake in front of 21 Palms is actually great for some lightweight kayaking, just beware of a few points where the water is shallow enough to get you stuck; (2) If you’re looking for something to do locally, check out Orland Tree Trek Adventure, which is an elevated outdoor obstacle course full of ropes, pulleys, suspended bridges and nets that will test your high altitude agility – tons of fun with the kiddos!; (3) If you are looking for a local restaurant, you will be pretty challenged to find much, but we did stumble across a spot called Reunion Café (www.reunion.cafe)) that ended up being quite a little Mediterranean culinary gem – be sure to order the chicken kebab, Shawarma and finish it off with the homemade Baklava! 

    Happy Camping!

    Plantation Oaks

    Basic mobile home/RV park

    We stayed there during the Tampa Show. Last minute decision. Park has a lot of long term RV's and many of them older. Dog friendly and has a decent sized dog run. We had a pull thru spot that was plenty long enough to leave our dolly hooked up to our 33' class A, and still have plenty of room to park in front. Although it was very narrow and I was a little concerned about my leveling jacks sinking in when it rained due to it being all grass. Fortunately it didn't rain much. There were cable hook ups, but I couldn't get a signal. Not sure about wifi, because I just used my hot spot. Most, if not all, of the short term spaces had picknick tables. Overall just a fairly quiet place to park with hookups and not too far off the highway.

    Thousand Trails Orlando

    Friendly, Low-Key Mega Park

    We enjoy this park a lot because it has so much to offer in the park, nearby, and we often see our friends here each winter. They have approximately 850 sites depending on the tortoises (sometimes they get a whole spot if their best is there). They are adding about 180 sites on the south side of the park. Full hook ups, generous yards, decent landscaping. There are some permanent structures, mostly rentals and the cabins. There are some personal sites as well. The park is about 2.63 miles all the way around the outer loop. Sometimes the cows from next door get loose and come visit. Sometimes there are alligators underneath RVs.

    With so many guests they also have a gate guard shack thing and lots of staff members. They have dark green polos ride around on golf carts. They are super friendly. Most of them are RVers at the park as well.

    They have many sections. A- Lots of pull throughs B- Giant Field where the kids play C-Not sure where this section is... D- Jungle, Secluded, Private, also with snakes but a lot more shade E/F/G- Normal RV Park in the grass, some shade in some parts. H- Residents of the park and some staff I- Residents and long term guests.

    Getaway Cabins- they are adorable from the outside, they look massive compared to an RV.

    Cell signals: This park is in Clermont, FL and it’s not a huge town but decent sized town. There isn’t great cell service. The park is further from a tower and there are so many RVers in the area that don’t count towards the population, it becomes a bandwidth issue. This park does have some kind of DSL for long term contracts. They have WiFi for a few throughout the park, and in the Club House they have better WiFi.

    They have: 2 Pools 1 Hot Tub Mini Golf Tennis Courts Pickle Ball Courts Shuffle Board Club House Mail Room Camp Store A small Lake with Kayak rental Alligators Sand Hill Cranes Tortoises A Garden Basketball Kids play room and play area Arcade Gym Several pretty ponds and a giant lagoon

    Most of all we come here repeatedly because we love to see our friends and being a member we can all stay for free.

    Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins Auburndale

    Just okay

    First, this is a really nice RV campground. It's new and has some nice amenities. That being said, I don't think full timers like us are their audience. Pros- nice big pull through sites, nice dog park, food trucks on weekend nights(at least while we were there), and a bar on site. Cons- it's very loud, not really close to any attractions, wifi was fast but frequently went out, highway noise, incessant loud construction noise every single weekday, you have to wear these bright green hospital type bracelets on the property, they charge$10 a visitor even if they are just going to your campsite to hang out and not use the amenities, they say they are family friendly but are okay with offensive political flags being flown. They played loud country music during the day most of the weekdays we were there. One day they started before 9 am. On Friday night, the music from the tiki bar area was so loud that we couldn't hear the movie we were trying to watch in our trailer with the windows up. It was the same the next night with a live band. I think this place is nice if you are looking for a place to party on the weekend, but not a relaxing resort like they advertise. For the price I paid I expect to not have construction noise every day. We likely won't be back. We camped at Cabana Club RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.

    Sun Outdoors Orlando ChampionsGate

    Desolate RV Camping Outpost near Magic Kingdom

    OK, let’s just cut to the chase here. You are likely considering Sun Outdoors Orlando Champions Gate due to its proximity to the ‘Most Magical Place on Earth’ or one of the other themed amusement parks here in the Orlando area. And maybe you’ve got an RV and shrugged your shoulders and said ‘why not?’ And to this I say, if proximity and accessibility are key criteria for you on this particular trip and locking down a spot to park your RV for a few days while you (and likely the kids) are wanting to enjoy all of the entertainment and endless lines of all-you-can-eat buffets, then Sun Outdoors will certainly be a very good option for you.

    What I like most about Sun Outdoors Orlando is that this spot is recently completely refurbished, so everywhere you go, while the place itself looks like it has recently been cleared of all vegetation (definitely a negative in my mind - as it looks as though every single piece of nature, be it grass, bushes or trees, has been surgically removed leaving a very barren, sterile environ), all of the buildings, sites and amenities look fairly brand spanking new, especially the club house and adjoining in-ground heated pool, which is definitely the best aspect of this particular paved campground. Here they have plenty of level, asphalt-paved or grassy RV pads, spots for tent camping as well as even cottages and cabins that they’ll rent to you in case you’ve not come prepared with any overnight preparations of your own.  

    Amenities: large heated in-ground swimming pool with patio and deck chairs, umbrellas and chaise loungers, pristine bathroom & showers, shuffleboard court, game room, horseshoe pit, WiFi, pet-friendly, coin-operated laundr-O-mat, dog park, bingo hall, basketball, volleyball, stand-up BBQ grills, religious services, Adirondack chair encircled fire pits, cornhole as well as back-in and pull-through RV slots with concrete patios, picnic table and all the traditional hook-ups (20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage).

    Insider’s tips: (1) When we visited, there was a solid amount of road construction going on right in front of Sun Outdoors Orlando, so unless that has changed (call ahead if this is of concern), then I would highly suggest booking a spot furthest away the front of the campground, which sits right in front of the roadway where the work is being done; (2) If you grow weary of opening up your on-board fridge or half-empty roto-molded Cordova cooler and want to check out a nearby restaurant, I recommend nearby Miller’s Ale House, Marco’s Pizza, Mondo di Gelato or Reunion Gyro; (3) While this campground will tell you on-line and on-site that you can tent camp here, even if you could, I don’t know that you would want to, unless your idea of a good tent camping experience is being sandwiched between 2 oversized RV’s and pitching your tent on asphalt; (4) Some of these sites for large RV’s and even 5th wheels appear to be a bit too small (several were either parked beyond the asphalt limits on the grass, or the width was too large and overhung the concrete pad itself, creating unstable situation for some RV’s) ;(5) If you actually care to grab a slice of nature while you are here at Sun Outdoors Orlando, then go for a day trip to Lake Tohopekaliga, which has some pretty amazing bass fishing as well as a few choice places to drop your boat into, like Twin Oaks or Cherokee Point Conservation Areas (and if you don’t have your own kayak, canoe or boat, contact Wild Willys Airboat Tours and they’ll show you around); and (6) There’s a Publix, CVS and Aldi so close to this campground that you can walk there, in case you run out of anything.

    Happy Camping!

    Palmetto Ridge Campground — Myakka River State Park

    Enormous park

    I’m staying in the Palmetto Ridge loop which is the only paved loop & I think the only one w/sewer. The Big Flats & Old Prairie loops are gravel road, tight, no privacy & very small sites like for popups, vans or small campers. The Palmetto Ridge pull thrus are gigantic. I would say the vegetation gives semi privacy but they aren’t on top of each other so it’s not like you’re looking right at your neighbor. There is a picnic table & a fire ring. Gravel sites but pretty level. My site was 50 amp. Not sure how many are. Bath house & laundry facility appears clean. Pet friendly. The outpost is literally like 3 miles into the park down from the entrance & Palmetto loop. The store was nice & there was a food truck. It was a little spendy but good food. The river was low so the kayak rental & boat tours were shut down. Tons of great hiking & even some elevated bridges for site seeing. Tons of gators, birds, deer etc. There is also a scenic drive in the park, a “fisherman’s loop” & a few picnic areas. There are cabins to rent but I didn’t see them. Also never saw a playground if you have kids. Very dark & quiet at night.

    Horseshoe Cove RV Resort

    Great short or long stay

    I live local and have been staying here in the pull through area a month until I transition to 100% travel trailer life. I have 2 50 lb+ dogs and there are many other people with dogs, plus a dog park. Park is very well kept, beautiful gym, pool, hot tub, and private island on backside to fish and other games like horseshoes. Love this place! Maintenance is A M A Z I N G!!!!!!!! I will be staying here again for short and extended periods and feel more than comfortable to recommend to friends and family. Laundry facilities and bathrooms are fine too. Dryers dry a full load of towels in one cycle, was pretty impressive! Also plenty of area to ride a bike a couple times around the park. It is also close to gas, grocery store and really good restaurants. Two thumbs up!!!


Guide to Durant

RV campgrounds near Durant, Florida offer varied full-hookup accommodations with easy access to Tampa Bay attractions. The area remains 10-15°F warmer than northern Florida during winter months, making it popular with seasonal campers from October through April. Most campgrounds maintain paved interior roads suitable for larger rigs, though site spacing varies significantly between properties.

What to do

Water recreation activities: Camp Margaritaville RV Resort in Auburndale features two pools, including one designed for families with "a fountain and very fun twisty slide." A camper noted, "The tiki bar was great Saturday night with a really great live band," while another mentioned enjoying "watching the tow-ski place that's fun to watch" on the adjacent lake.

Biking trails: The Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins Auburndale connects to extensive paved paths. "There's an eagle preserve by the lake and the Auburndale bike trail (29 miles!) just outside of the entrance," reports one reviewer. Cyclists can access these well-maintained routes directly from the campground entrance.

Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer shoreline fishing access. At Encore Terra Ceia, campers report catching bass from stocked ponds. "We have a view of the pond with ducks," mentions one reviewer. The campground provides convenient water access for anglers without requiring a boat.

What campers like

Resort amenities: Many Durant area RV campgrounds operate as destination resorts rather than traditional campgrounds. "True resort style camping. Amazing Pool and amenities. Large pull through sites with paver patios, turf, and landscaping," notes a Camp Margaritaville visitor. The facilities often include recreation buildings, fitness centers, and organized activities.

Proximity to attractions: Encore Terra Ceia provides convenient access to regional points of interest. As one camper notes, "In Palmetto, easy access to Tampa, Sarasota, Gulf Beaches, and many other areas of Florida in a few hours driving distance." Another reviewer adds that it's "20 minutes away from several beaches and the TB Rays stadium."

Clean facilities: Hidden River RV Resort receives positive feedback for maintaining its grounds and amenities. "This campground has 2 new camping areas with concrete pads and fire rings," reports one camper. Another adds they "ended up staying here last minute and we were so glad we did...it was great and wish we were staying longer."

What you should know

Highway noise levels: Several RV parks experience significant road noise. At Forest Lake Village RV Resort, one camper reports, "The back fence is right next to the train tracks and the trains are very active sometimes blowing through every half hour all hours of the night." This noise factor affects multiple properties in the area.

Site spacing variations: Even within the same campground, site sizes and privacy differ dramatically by section. At Hidden River RV Resort, a camper advises, "When you first enter, there are several back in camping spots before you reach the office/activity center. The middle section is a large group of permanent trailers and some are a bit if an eye sore...I would not want to camp in that area."

Seasonal considerations: Availability becomes extremely limited during winter months as seasonal residents occupy many sites. A reviewer at Encore Winter Quarters Manatee noted, "I should have suspected that an RV resort in FL in the winter would be full of retirees, but I didn't expect the number of mobile homes permanently here."

Tips for camping with families

Pool access importance: Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins Auburndale offers extensive water recreation options. "The pool area seemed a little small for the number of people there. Very crowded," notes one family, suggesting visiting during off-peak times. Another family reported, "Kids played for four hours straight and went back for more after dinner!"

Safety considerations: Some campgrounds provide more secure environments than others. One parent at Camp Margaritaville shared, "The camp sites and the whole resort area is very clean and safe. I felt comfortable with my kid running around on her scooter." Security features vary significantly between properties.

Recreational options: Planned activities keep children engaged at several resorts. "They had a lot of activities for the kids during spring break," reports a Camp Margaritaville visitor. Playgrounds, game rooms, and organized events provide entertainment beyond swimming facilities.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: At Encore Winter Quarters Manatee, experienced RVers recommend careful site research. "Arrived to find it very tight to get into our site, thankfully the nearby neighbors moved there vehicles so my husband could manouver the 5th wheel in," warned one camper. Another noted, "The electrical (30 amp and 50 amp) was farther back than the water, which wasn't a huge deal but might be inconvenient for some."

Utility hookup placement: RVers should prepare for varied utility configurations. At Lazydays RV Resort, a visitor reported, "Water and electric were located in the middle of the pad. The sewer was at the end of the pad, and we needed right at 20 feet of hose." Extension cords and extra hose lengths are recommended.

Construction awareness: Several campgrounds are undergoing expansions or renovations. A Margaritaville visitor mentioned, "There is currently some construction going on because they are expanding the campground but it didn't bother us much," while another noted being "awakend by construction of phase 2 directly in front of us."
