      Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground

      Lots of activities

      Pricey but it's Disney. Lots of activities to do at the campground without going to the parks. Clean and well maintained campsites and bathrooms. The roads are narrow in the loops and the sites can be difficult to get into. Pet friendly with dog parks and trails.

      Encore Clerbrook

      Hole In One For this RV Parking Course

      It’s not common to find a spot that you can plant your RV on and go out to hit the links for the day all in the same location, but here at Clerbrook Golf & RV Resort you can hit par on both fronts. Located right off Route 27 just due west of Lake Apopka in central Florida, Clerbrook offers nearly 300 acres of prime landscape that posits 1200+ RV slots for your parking and vacationing pleasure. Here you’ll be able to perfectly blend a golfing oasis that blends its RV offering complete with lush vegetation, interconnecting ponds and narrow canals all surrounded by ancient Oaks draped with Spanish Moss. 

      As far as amenities goes, Clerbrook does not disappoint. Here’s just a small list of all the great amenities you’ll find: Welcome Center, Heated Swimming Pools, BBQ and Picnic tables, Planned Activities, Clubhouses, Billiard Room, Card Rooms, Post Office, Fishing Area, 18 Hole Golf Course with Pro Shop (note: first 9 holes are complimentary with a visit to the Pro Shop), Exercise & Fitness Center, Horseshoe Pits, Recreation Hall, Laundry, Shuffleboard Courts, Library, Nature Walks, Pets Welcome, Picnic Pavilion, Driving Range, Dog Park, Wood Shop, Basketball Court, Playground, Restrooms & Showers, Softball Field, Hot Tub, RV Storage, complimentary WiFi, Arts and Craft Classes as well as Live Entertainment on the weekends. Of course, for RV’ers you can expect both back-in and pull-through slots with all of the traditional water, sewage and electric (30 / 50 amp) hook-ups. 

      Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you’ve got wine on your mind (and why wouldn’t you when on holiday?!), just meander a few miles south of Clerbrook and you’ll discover a fairly respectable winery called Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards offering tours and tastings featuring Muscadine grapes (apparently a prominent grape varietal down in these parts known for their antioxidant qualities; (2) When you get tired of fixing every meal from your mini-fridge or cooler, then you’ll have to head south to Clermont where you’ll find PeruRican Ceviche, which for these parts is pretty outstanding and if you are still longing for pizza, check out Mamma Rita’s Pizzeria for some good pies and pasta; and (3) If nature is calling and you want to get out for a good hike, then head due south to Hiawatha Preserve that has a few dog parks, playgrounds, picnic areas, hiking paths, and of course, access to Lake Hiawatha, in case you want to drop your kayak or canoe in the water. 

      Happy Camping!

      Thousand Trails Orlando

      Huge park

      This is probably the largest park we have ever stayed in. We normally go for the smaller quaint parks but we decided to try it out. We went along the outside rim in site Mako 7. The sites are large enough and have most have full hook ups. Not many trees for shade, but it is in Florida so that is to be expected. We were fortunate to have a couple of grassy areas around close to walk the dog. There is a dog park but it was on the other end of the campground. We did go one day and the park is nice. It’s sand and has poop bags. But no water for drinking so take your own. This side of the park had more trees and was nice for walking around with the dog. No WiFi in the area closest to the dog park. Sites seemed mostly level but only the new section has nice concrete pads. The older sections are hit and miss as to what the site looks like. All in all it’s a great location for visiting all the local attractions... (but we didn’t do that).

      Lithia Springs

      Lithia Springs Park

      Lithia Springs Conservation Park is a hidden gem for camping in Florida. The campground is clean, well-maintained, and tucked away in a peaceful natural setting. Sites are spacious with plenty of shade, and the amenities like restrooms and picnic areas are kept in great shape. The best part is being just a short walk from the beautiful natural spring, perfect for swimming and cooling off. It’s a great spot for families or anyone looking to relax and enjoy the outdoors. I’ll definitely be coming back!

      Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground

      Can we live here forever?

      Loved our stay at Fort Wilderness. Our favorite Disney Resort. Super dog friendly with an amazing dog park. Great location and so many wonderful things to do here.

      Hillsborough River State Park Campground

      There is a lot to do!

      This park is full of great adventures. If you like to hike, there are a bunch of different trails to walk and they run alongside the river. You may even have the opportunity to catch site of some alligators as this river is very populated with them. There is also a cute shop and cafe so if your not feeling up to cooking, you can head there. At the shop you have the opportunity to swim in the pool, rent kayaks, canoes, and bikes. I also love that they are pet friendly. I take my dog everywhere (and sometimes my cat) and they enjoyed the trails just as much as I did!

      Lazydays RV Resort

      Very nice campground

      This campground was adequate and very close to I-4. Sites are accommodating and clean. Pool and restaurant on site. If you have a dog they have a couple of dog parks on site buy I would recommend sites 36, 37 or 38. Large grass area for your own private dog area.

      Kissimmee RV Park

      RV Sardine Can

      If you’re looking for a spot to park your 5th wheel or mobile RV campsite for the night and don’t mind being shoulder to shoulder with likeminded RV campers, then the flatly paved surfaces of Kissimmee RV Park, complete with 193 campsites, might just be for you. While just off the I-4 corridor taking you into Orlando (only 30 or so minutes due north of this location), pet-friendly Kissimmee RV Park offers close proximity to and affordable overnight accommodations near all of the amusement parks (just 6.5 miles away) the Magical City has to offer. 

      As far as amenities go, there’s a handful: recreation hall, full-service kitchen, heated pool, shuffle board court, bingo, horseshoe pits, scattered BBQ grills, spartan restrooms and bath house (although in need of refurbishment), laundry-O-mat, ice machine, free WiFi (but only at rec hall and pool – many people complained that they couldn’t access WiFi while at their sites, but if you read the fine print, that’s not what this place promises), RV storage, dog parks & walking paths, a few scattered gazebos and a propane tank refilling station. Each site comes with its own flat concrete slab that you can call home for the night, accompanied by a lone picnic table and all the typical hook-ups you would expect (30 / 50 electric amp, water, sewage, etc.) along with designated dump sites and an electric charging station as well as small pond. 

      Insider’s tips? Sure, here’s a few: (1) if you are tent camping, apparently Kissimmee RV Park has some sites, but as we were passing through with an RV, I didn’t bother to look, so check this out; (2) Tired of foraging through your cooler or on-board mini-fridge for your next meal? Then there’s no shortage of options being this close to Disney, so while there’s the chain restaurants nearby (Chili’s, Perkin’s, BJ’s, etc.), I recommend a few off-the-beaten places like Fat Boy’s BBQ, Savion’s Place or Capone’s Dinner & Show Theater;(3) Fan of comic books? My family and I stumbled across Coliseum of Comics Kissimmee and it was a nice diversion for a few hours; and (4) Want to go back in time for a nice meal and theater?! Then look no further than Medieval Times, which is literally just down the road! 

      Happy Camping!

      Edward Medard Park

      Gem of the County

      What a beautiful well kept facility near suburbia. Just a short drive from Tampa and Lakeland areas this first come first served facility is a favorite of locals. Full service for RV's (even a dump station. Clean, monitored bathroom facilities close to lots of additional activities! Kayaking and fishing on the lake is a blast! Frisbee Golf (this is an advanced course) equestrian and hiking trails, picnic and playground areas. Pet friendly but there were more than a few stray cats when we were there (a problem the rangers are trying to address). Midweek is best time to visit as weekends fill fast (usually by Thursday night)


    Guide to Davenport

    Camping near Davenport, Florida offers easy access to Central Florida attractions while providing options for outdoor recreation. Located in Polk County at an elevation of about 146 feet, the area experiences a humid subtropical climate with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F from June through September. Most campgrounds in the region feature level sites with full hookups, making it convenient for both tent campers and RVers.

    What to do

    Wildlife viewing: Lake Kissimmee State Park offers abundant opportunities to spot native Florida species. "Lake Kissimmee State Park Review This was our first visit to Lake Kissimmee State Park and it was a big surprise... We enjoyed the common areas, the observation deck and the hiking," notes one camper who rated the experience 4 stars. The park features multiple lakes and hiking trails where visitors can spot wild turkeys, eagles, and occasionally bobcats.

    Biking trails: Nearby Clermont provides excellent biking options. A visitor to Lake Louisa State Park Campground mentioned, "This stage park has lots to offer - great trails for hiking and biking, boat launches, fishing, or just relaxing... The bath house was very clean and modern, with spacious shower stalls and plenty of hot water." The park has "totally awesome park roads for biking, trails for mountain biking and hiking, and equestrian trails."

    Water activities: Fishing and boating are popular in the region. One camper noted about Lake Kissimmee State Park Campground: "Nice spot to just get away and relax. Lots of hiking trails and some wildlife. Deers all around even among the campsites. Some tours available close by for airboats." Lake Tohopekaliga offers additional water recreation opportunities with excellent bass fishing.

    What campers like

    Private, spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer good separation between sites. A visitor to Lake Louisa State Park Campground remarked, "Having stayed at Lake Louisa State Park serval times we've enjoyed very spacious sites with beautiful views and an exceptionally clean property. The multiple lake views where so peaceful, I think the beach was my favorite by far."

    Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses are consistently mentioned in reviews. One camper at Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins Auburndale commented, "We love this Margaritaville location! The staff is always friendly, they've got a great splash pad and playground for the kids, a water slide, and two larger pools for kids and adults. There are nice bathrooms with showers (soaps provided) and a laundry room."

    Location convenience: Proximity to major attractions is a significant advantage. A visitor to Orlando/Kissimmee KOA shared, "This was the perfect location for our touristy vacation! The Orlando Kissimmee KOA Holiday is great park to visit when staying in the Orlando area. Most shopping and restaurants are within a 5-10 minute drive. And all the tourist attractions are within 30 minutes."

    What you should know

    Limited shade at newer resorts: Many recently developed campgrounds lack mature trees. A reviewer of Sun Outdoors Orlando ChampionsGate observed, "What I like most about Sun Outdoors Orlando is that this spot is recently completely refurbished... all of the buildings, sites and amenities look fairly brand spanking new, especially the club house and adjoining in-ground heated pool... every single piece of nature, be it grass, bushes or trees, has been surgically removed leaving a very barren, sterile environ."

    Cell service varies by location: Coverage can be spotty at more remote parks. One camper mentioned about Lake Kissimmee State Park: "Cell service is practically non existent in the park and within 10 miles from the park. Keep an eye on gas, there's one place about 6 miles from the park and town is about 15 miles away."

    Weather considerations: Florida's climate affects camping comfort. A visitor to Lake Louisa noted, "We stayed here in June and bugs were only bad at nightfall. We got good reception with our verizon and only ok with our sprint."

    Tips for camping with families

    Water features: Pools and splash pads provide kid-friendly entertainment. A camper at Camp Margaritaville RV Resort mentioned, "Margaritaville is so clean & spacious!! The store has so much great stuff and there is always entertainment. They even have a big farmers market on Sundays with tons of vendors. There are two big pools (the back one is quiet) with bars, yummy drinks and good food."

    Scheduled activities: Many resorts organize family events. "We had a great time. The camp sites and the whole resort area is very clean and safe. I felt comfortable with my kid running around on her scooter. They had a lot of activities for the kids during spring break," wrote a visitor who gave Camp Margaritaville 4 stars.

    Educational opportunities: Wildlife viewing can be educational. A family who visited Lake Kissimmee State Park wrote, "We went during Spring Break! we were there four nights. We took our two grandchIldren, and they had alot of fun! It was fantastic! we had the handicapped site, plenty of room, wonderful neighbors."

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: For pet-friendly camping near Davenport, Florida, consider site location carefully. A reviewer of Thousand Trails Orlando advised, "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... The park is about 2.63 miles all the way around the outer loop."

    Accessibility challenges: Some parks have tight navigation. One RVer noted about Orlando Southwest KOA Holiday: "We have. 45' with tow. These spots are tight and small and people tend to park everywhere they can. Leaves pulling in and out difficult. However it is a super nice place and good location if you want to do Disney. Lots of great and clean amenities and an amazing dog area. Just tight for us big buses."

    Level sites: Site conditions vary across campgrounds. A camper at Orlando/Kissimmee KOA reported, "Site was a little small for our tent (14 x 14 foot though). Other than that, campground was great! Had rental bikes and a pool. Bathrooms were nice and clean."
