Best Campgrounds near Flamingo, FL
Camping options near Flamingo, Florida primarily consist of established campgrounds and RV resorts rather than dispersed camping areas. The region includes several developed facilities like Orlando/Kissimmee KOA, Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, and Boggy Creek Resort & RV Park, all offering various accommodation types including tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. Most campgrounds in this area feature full amenities rather than primitive camping, with many sites offering electric hookups, water connections, and sewer facilities within proximity to Orlando's major attractions.
The subtropical climate of central Florida dictates camping conditions year-round, with high humidity and temperatures during summer months from May through September. "This park is conveniently located close to local attractions. The prices are extremely reasonable," noted one visitor about Mill Creek RV Resort. Most campgrounds in the region require reservations, particularly during winter months when "snowbirds" from northern states increase occupancy rates. Road access is generally excellent with paved entrances and well-maintained interior roads suitable for large RVs. Facilities typically remain open throughout the year, though summer brings frequent afternoon thunderstorms and potential hurricane threats between June and November.
Campers frequently highlight the convenience of these campgrounds to major theme parks and attractions. Several reviewers mentioned clean facilities and friendly staff as standout features at locations like Orlando/Kissimmee KOA, where one visitor noted it was "right off 192 and close access to the Florida Turnpike" with good proximity to stores and restaurants. The camping experience in this region tends to be more developed and resort-style rather than wilderness-oriented. Noise levels vary by location, with some campgrounds affected by nearby highways or attractions. Wildlife viewing opportunities exist at several campgrounds, particularly those near natural water features like East Lake Tohopekaliga, where campers report seeing sand hill cranes, herons, and even alligators in their natural habitat.

Bee's RV Resort
Lakeridge Winery Trip
A two day trip to be with a visit to Lake Ridge winery for a jazz and blues festival. Accommodations were as expected only thing really missing would be a picnic table and possibly a fire pit, most of the RV sites drive-through are in the front of the complex. The pool and walking area seemed very, very nice and the people were very pleasant and accommodating, and very helpful.
Green Q.ScoutUpper Hillsborough WMA
Florida WMA site close to town
This place has many pros and a few cons... I'll get the cons out of the way first... it is just 3 miles out of Zephyrhills Hills, FL so there is plenty of noise from nearby busy road. A train runs through this property several times a day/night and is loud. It is right next door to a mobile home community and these homes are visible from parts of the campground. Pros? It is close to town if you need something. A train runs through it so not many people come to camp here. There are several picnic tables and firepits. There are 3 port-a-pottie, all clean. It is beautiful, especially deeper in the property along the trails. This is a strictly boondock, pack it out location... no electric, no dump station and only non-potable water via a hand pump at a sink near the staff shack (staff only pr a sent during hunting days). There is. Good mix of sun and shade with a generous oak tree canopy. I could keep my class b in the shade and run my portable solar panels in the sun or keep my rig in the sun as well. Dogs are allowed on leash. There are no numbered sites, just set up where you please, there is plenty of flat spots.I had good cell reception with TMobile. Reservations are required and gate lock code given.Even with the train etc I enjoyed my time there, I REALLY enjoyed having the place to myself all but one day.

A Rustic Haven
Spacious shady sites that offer good privacy are readily available here! Some low hanging overhead branches may cause an issue for larger rigs but I had no problem at 12 feet high. Rustic camping with very clean vault toilets, bear-secure trash bins,water spigots scattered throughout the campground and a dump station with non-portable and portable water right there. A meandering and scenic 30 mile drive off of I 75 definitely takes you off the beaten trail, though there is a bit of road noise that can be heard but not seen from the campground.
paul Z.GuideBlue Spring State Park Campground
Small but very private sites, nature everywhere
Checked in yesterday and pulled up to a full park. Check in was easy at the front gate . Site 1 is tight for our 29' Class A and it took some blocking to get level. Right rear corner of the lot sits high but not terrible. We took a walk down a trail behind the campground to the springs parking lot and took the campground path back. I will update more as the week goes on. Walked down to the spring and shared videos. No manatees today but I am sure we will see some before the weeks end. Tuesday walk to the spring. Saw two Manatees. Videos loaded here. Cool rainy day had them come back up into the spring. 3 more Manatees today. rained everyday so far but got to see more Manatees. Campground is very quiet except for a rail line that runs just outside the park. 45 minutes from Daytona or Orlando. we have been here since Saturday evening and it in now Thursday.

Great Park near Orlando
Stayed just one night on March. Great tent sites and mostly private. Facilities are clean with showers. Water and power at the site. Beautiful walks and lakes, Lots of birds and rabbits.
Only issue was the early morning traffic on the nearby highway (#27) was noisy.

Well run and organized for a full park on launch day for Artemis II. Ocean breezes kept us comfortable despite lack of shade on the Inlet.

Responsible Adults Be Warned
I'd like to give you the positives. Crisp, clean, manicured, food and bar pretty good, well-appointed amenities. We had a pretty good week, having found a quiet pool area. Saw a bald eagle and a swallow-tail kite. I’d like to tell you about that, but that’s not the review.
Here’s the review: if you book here, you will be checking into a bizarre combination of tropical paradise, tailgate party, spring break, and a middle school playground. On St. Patrick's Day, we had been doing some sightseeing. We came back to our site, and the folks who had arrived behind us fired up their music. I don't have a problem with music or other noise prior to"quiet time," so long as it's not over the top. This was way over the top. Kim was on the phone with the nursing home about her 91-year old mother and she couldn't hear the other end of the call.
We called Security and asked for help, they came around and talked to the offenders. Whereupon the offenders started yelling around"who complained about our music?" And, they sent their preteen daughters on their bicycles going around and asking"did you complain?” Let's just say it was downhill from there. They jacked the volume even more, and started taunting us. Kim lost her temper and started yelling at them to quiet down. They responded by threatening her. She told me to call security, but since they hadn’t helped, and the on-duty rent-a-cop had no interest in helping, I called 911(which the campground rules said to do in an emergency). Apparently, that was a mistake. The rent-a-cop was pissed off that we called 911 when he was supposed to already be on top of it(which he wasn't). So there was a conclave of police cars, and the night manager, and the three large guys from the offending site, etc.
Bottom line: management demanded that WE leave, in half an hour, or be arrested. It’s 10:30 pm, and I told the rent-a-cop that I was in no shape to drive. “Figure it out,” he said, and walked away. So two 70-year olds had 30 minutes to get everything packed up and drive to some alternative place.
While we were striking the site, the kids at the offending site were chanting"we won, we won." And they started playing"Hit the Road You Jack" quite loud. And the adults were yelling"we're Republicans. We can do whatever we want." They noted our Maine license plates and told us to"go back to Canada where you belong."
We ended up in a wicked expensive hotel in the next town over, paying spring break prices($340 a night!!). And we lost the cost of two nights at the campground.
So if you’re a party animal, this may be your kind of place. Just don’t complain about anything, or you will be asked to leave.
It’s interesting to note which rules are enforced and which aren’t. For instance, there’s a poolside bar, and lots of signs between the bar and the pool saying“no food or drink beyond this point.” Not only was there lots of food and drink around the pool, there were wait staff taking orders and delivering it.
In retrospect, the fact that they have a rent-a-cop cruising the premises every night should have been a red flag. I’ve never seen that before, but apparently they expect rowdiness. They just don’t want to deal with the negative repercussions.

Beautiful lake
Our campsite is nice. It's quiet here during the week. The bathrooms need cleaning. They are kept neat just not cleaned.
Guide to Flamingo
Camping near Flamingo, Florida offers established campgrounds with varied landscapes from lakeside settings to wooded environments. The region sits at elevations between 30-100 feet above sea level, providing natural drainage during Florida's frequent summer rains. Air temperatures range from winter lows around 50°F to summer highs regularly exceeding 90°F with high humidity levels from June through September.
What to do
Hiking and nature trails: Lake Louisa State Park Campground features multiple trails for hiking and mountain biking across rolling hills. "The park holds many trails. We walked a few and were rewarded with peaceful treks. On one such hike, we were able to spot a bobcat in pursuit of dinner, which was a delight to see firsthand," notes one visitor who appreciated the wildlife encounters.
Water activities: Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground offers swimming, kayaking and canoeing opportunities. "Wekiwa was an amazing place to camp and spend our weekend. The park offers hiking, biking, day swimming, a food grill, a canoe/kayak launch and rental, plus tons of wildlife," reports a camper who spent three days at the park.
Wildlife viewing: Moss Park Campground provides excellent opportunities to observe local fauna. "The wildlife was amazing! We had deer walking through our site each day at dusk. There were also giant sandhill cranes around," shares a visitor who stayed at site 20. The park includes walking trails designed for wildlife observation with minimal disturbance.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Orlando/Kissimmee KOA receives high marks for maintenance standards. "We love this campground! The staff is awesome and always ready to help and the campground is spotless. We felt safe staying here because there was always someone from staff walking around cleaning or checking on things," notes one camper who appreciated the attention to detail.
Spacious sites: Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake offers well-sized camping spots. "Sites are very well shaded and they have potable water and electricity. There are bathrooms and showers," explains a car camper. The park features sites with good separation between neighbors, allowing for privacy without isolation.
Proximity to attractions: Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground provides easy access to theme parks while maintaining a natural setting. "I loved this campground. We are not Disney people but our kids wanted to go to universal and I could not find a nice campground with good reviews near universal so we decided to stay at Disney. Honestly, we are not Disney people but Disney definitely goes above and beyond on accommodations," reports a visitor who found the campground exceeded expectations.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds in the region require advance booking, especially during winter months from November through March. "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," shares a visitor who planned ahead.
Campground rules: Rules vary significantly between parks. "No pets, no alcohol, and quiet after 10. I will stay again!" explains a visitor to Moss Park Campground, highlighting important restrictions to consider when selecting a location.
Weather conditions: Boggy Creek Resort & RV Park experiences typical Florida conditions. "The abundance of trees provide a very nice amount of shade around the park and, even in the Summer heat and swelter of Florida, made the temperature bearable with our little 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner. East Lake Tohopekaliga is also large enough that it provides a nice, cooling breeze during the day," notes one camper who stayed for a month during summer.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Thousand Trails Orlando provides numerous recreation options. "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," reports one family, noting the extensive amenities including "2 Pools, 1 Hot Tub, Mini Golf, Tennis Courts, Pickle Ball Courts, Shuffle Board, Club House, Mail Room, Camp Store."
Safety considerations: Campgrounds with gated access offer additional security. "Gates that close and lock from 6pm to 8 am (Nov-March) but an easy access code is given at check in to be able to come and go after hours," describes a visitor to Moss Park, appreciating the extra security measures while maintaining convenience.
Campground selection: Consider noise levels when choosing locations with children. "The campground is at the back of the park up against the lake shore making it quieter than you would think for being so close to the expressway," notes a family who stayed at Bill Frederick Park, highlighting the importance of site selection for family comfort.
Tips from RVers
Site access considerations: Fort Wilderness Resort presents challenges for larger rigs. "My only problem with wilderness camping. 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. We have a 27' rv that is 33' from top to top. Holy moly did it take a lot to get this into our spot," warns one RV camper who needed assistance from neighbors.
Full hookup availability: Check specific campgrounds for complete utility connections. "There is a dump station and some of the sites have full hookup with sewer. Reserve America does not note which ones have sewer too but when I did some more research I found one review that mentioned that site #'s 16,18,20, 30, 32,33, 34 (ADA), 35,36 (ADA), 37,38,39, &40 are the sites that have sewer too," advises a Lake Louisa visitor providing valuable information not available on booking platforms.
