GuideWe are repeat guests at Tropical Palms. The park as a whole is very well kept and pretty. Some of the sites are very uneven but the staff is understanding and moves you to a new site.
This park has an amazing pool and gym! They also have great activities all year around. It is a very active park. The pickleball courts are very well maintained.
GuideI heard one too many bad reviews from this park and was apprehensive. However our first stay was amazing! The front office staff was so kind and helpful. We have sincec stayed with them several times and we have more bookings on the calendar. We are Thousand Trails members so this is a great location. You are allowed to receive mail to your site. You are also about 15 minutes from Disney and 20 minutes from Universal.
This park has a pool and small gym, also has a small library for guest use.
ScoutVery disappointed I had a good stay a couple months ago with my camper I am homeless. Now I’m being told my camper that I paid thousands of dollars for to buy maintain and insurance each month is being considered a tent. I’m not sure who’s Cheerios I went to the bathroom in. Clearly someone’s and you shouldn’t be comparing eg Simmons which is in the same county same county site to make bookings is different because of their size. So this size comparison has me up set and quite uncomfortable I feel smaller now than I ever did before. To think was one of my favorite campgrounds since I started this journey so I don’t have to live on the streets. This is what I get for being homeless and disabled also voicing this to the park. More discrimination. This is my last stay here. I feel more homeless than I did earlier today
ScoutI've been to other WMA (Water Management Area) campgrounds before and had low expectations, this one wowed me! For those who don't know Florida has some wildlands set aside and camping and other use is allowed for FREE. If camping one must register first and reserve an available spot (watermatters.org, once reservation is accepted a confirmation email is sent along with the combination for the lock on the gate at the entrance. Spacious with a nice oak canopy for shade (unless you are dependent on roof solar), great for tent campers, RV campers, Skoolies, car campers, equestrian campers, hammock campers (depending on season due to bugs), backpackers. There are about 15 picnic tables and firepits scattered and one pavilion with 4 tables. There is one port-a-let that I have noticed so far. There are many water spigots supplying non-potable water. This campground calls itself an equestrian campground but you are welcome without a horse. I have seen plenty of sign of horses having been here. There are MANY trails leading out of the campground and a big dirt trail, where vehicles are not allowed, for hiking, biking and riding. This campground is very clean. This is going on my favorite list. Like many WMA lands GPS can be wonky... verify location both on a map and via your reservation email. Make sure your GPS directions are taking you to the actual entrance and not some service/access road. For this campground it is about a mile of dirt road, from the gate to the actual campground. Campsites are not numbered and it is first come first served. BTW I am the only one here!!! Bo us? There is a cattle field bordering one side of the campground and I here baby calves! Big thing to mention this is boondocking ONLY, no electric, no water hookups, no dumping, no trashcan. Pack in pack out, leave no trace. But hey it's FREE and beautiful
TravelerNice campground in trees. Some sites are unlevel. Electric, water, picnic table and fire pit. Dumpster and sanitary dump station.
GuideGorgeous grounds, well maintained facilities, great campsites with tiki huts, two bars, two huge pools, and lots of activities for all ages! We spent 4 days here and wished we had less things planned so that we could better take advantage of all they offered. We will be back!
GuideThe family stayed there in December. It was a great way to save money while still staying in Disney! Also, we went right before Christmas, so everyone who regularly comes at this time of year, had over the top decorations in their camping areas. It was so fun and the family wants to come back!
GuideLarge dispersed camping area with good views of the airshow, included access to the ground display area, and great facilities considering how large the event is. I will certainly be back with the family.
GuideEasy access RV park close to parks and drivable for events at the Orange County Event Center. Some reviews mentioned bikes being stolen. I put a lock cable through my outside things to be safe, but never saw any signs of anything that made me concerned. Clean pool, facilities, and park. Great service provided by the hosts. I’ll be back anytime I’m in Orlando for work.

Spacious sites with privacy: Many campgrounds in Davenport FL feature well-designed layouts. At Lake Louisa State Park Campground, "Campsites are far enough apart for privacy with lots of shades trees. Each site has a firepit." Another visitor notes, "All of the sites seemed level, most are quite private with a fair amount of trees/foliage in between sites, have a sizable picnic table and nice fire ring with grate."
Clean facilities: Davenport area campgrounds maintain high standards for bathhouses and amenities. One camper at Orlando/Kissimmee KOA shares, "We had to use the shower at the facility and it was good. We used the family shower and it was clean and a perfect place to rest for the night!" A long-term visitor notes, "The welcoming atmosphere and supreme customer service place this campground above and beyond!"
Accessibility to necessities: Campers appreciate proximity to supplies. A visitor at Sun Outdoors Orlando ChampionsGate mentions it's "a walkable distance from grocery stores" and another notes it has "Very clean bathrooms with showers (soaps provided) and a laundry room."
Variable site quality: Reviews indicate significant differences between campsites at the same property. At Encore Sherwood Forest, "The entrance was clean but not in the park." Another camper notes, "The best sites, in general, are all of the ones that are completely on the perimeter."
Weather considerations: Florida's climate affects camping conditions year-round. At Lake Kissimmee State Park Campground, a camper points out, "Most of the trails are still flooded. Our rainy season just ended and we've had a lot of rain towards the end of it."
Reservation requirements: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. "Quiet hours are 10pm to 8am," notes one camper at Camp Margaritaville. Another camper at Disney's Fort Wilderness advises, "Rent a golf cart if you don't have one. Transportation was OK and the Tavern was very nice."

Pool considerations: When evaluating campgrounds, check pool facilities. "Very crowded," notes one Camp Margaritaville visitor about the pool area during busy times. At Disney's Fort Wilderness, "The pool is a nice size pool with a small water slide. There is a splash area in the back for small kids."
Entertainment options: Look for campgrounds with scheduled activities. At Encore Tropical Palms, "Kids love the ability to ride their Bikes around the campground and love the pool. Plenty of deer to watch throughout the day." The resort also hosts "planned activities like Holiday parties, block parties, etc."
Site selection strategies: Choose campsites based on your specific needs. At Thousand Trails Orlando, "A-Lots of pull throughs, B-Giant Field where the kids play, 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."
Utility connections: Be prepared for variable hookup arrangements. At Orlando Southwest KOA Holiday, "Water pressure is good. Cable is good except for very poor signal quality for the local stations." Another RVer notes, "Many spots did not have sewer, but they had free pump outs every Wednesday and a dump station."
Maneuverability concerns: Consider access challenges when selecting a site. At Disney's Fort Wilderness, "There is not a lot of room in the loops to pull your rv into the spot. There is plenty of room between your rv and your neighbor next to you but not a lot of room across from your spot."
