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.

    Colt Creek State Park Campground

    Good, clean campsite

    This campsite was nice with a good amount of wildlife. It was very quiet at night even with a decent amount of other people around. The only downside was there wasn’t a ton of privacy at every campsite, and the clean bathrooms were only missing toilet paper. Other than that, good campsite with very nice rangers.

    Lake Kissimmee State Park Campground

    Beautiful campground

    Spent five nights at this beautiful campground. It is absolutely so peaceful. Tons of deer all over, all the time. The campground is definitely nice and pitch black at night. We walked over to the observation tower and could see the cow camp from there. We rode our bikes to the cow camp and snooped around. That was really interesting. Our site was really nice and big. All the palms around the site give it some privacy. 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.

    Laundry is $1.25 per load. Bathhouse was clean each time we used it. Park rangers were friendly each time we saw them.

    Lake Mills Park

    Secure and beautiful

    As a camper that often camps alone, I loved that the park gate closes and locks at night (with a code for campers to exit and enter) and the campground itself has a gate that is always locked as do the bathrooms so they stay fairly nice. And a very good price with a beautiful lake and walking trails. Will visit again.

    Trimble Park Campground

    Incredible Hidden Gem

    Just returned from a 2 night stay at Trimble Park and I'm already planning my return next week!  The campground is very small and intimate, you will certainly get to know your neighbors and others staying in the park if you're going to be spending any time outside.  The park employees are zooming about on their golf carts multiple times within the hour during the day and always ready to help if needed.  The man in the office was amazing (I wish I had gotten his name) and so helpful, even swapping our spot for another with a better lake view!  Speaking of, the view is awesome!  Spots 8 and 9 are directly in front of the docks so if you mind other campers walking through your site to get to them, choose a different spot.  Even the spots that don't have a lake view are great!  Every site has a grill, separate fire ring, lantern hangers and picnic table plus electric and water hook ups.  Bathrooms are kept clean, every morning they are tended to.  My only complaint there is that the showers are very narrow.  I'm small and was feeling a bit cramped. Also the water pressure could definitely be stronger...took forever for me to rinse shampoo.  My personal issues are not enough for me to not come back though!  It's a great place to recharge and be at peace; I still can't get over how beautiful it is!

    Highbanks Marina & Camp Resort

    Camelot on the River (With a Pool Nicer Than Your HOA)

    Nestled along the St. Johns River in DeBary, Highbanks Marina & Camp Resort is a 25-acre playground where RVers and boaters mingle under giant oaks and Spanish moss. Locals call it ‘Camelot on the River,’ though I’m quite sure Arthur never had 50-amp hookups or a bait shop. First impressions? Think Old Florida charm, river breezes and a place where your neighbor might offer you both a cold beer and unsolicited fishing advice.  Unfortunately, there's no primitive camping here for mi tent pitchin' bredren.

    The campground packs plenty of creature comforts. RV sites come with full hookups (30 / 50 amp electric, water, sewer), and most are shaded enough to keep your AC from begging for mercy. There’s a 30'X60' swimming pool (read: bigger than your neighbor’s backyard dream), a recreation hall, horseshoe pits, bocce ball and laundries. The camp store is less ‘convenience shop’ and more ‘bait & souvenirs,’ with everything from fishing gear to trinkets you’ll later wonder why you bought. Then there’s the 72-slip marina where your kayak can feel fancy just by association with the pontoon crowd.

    The setting is pure St. Johns River magic. You can paddle out and watch herons glide by, manatees surface like old river monks or gators give you side-eye. Kayakers rave about the downstream trip to Blue Spring, where you can float past manatees before your coffee gets cold. When you’re done pretending you’re an extra in a National Geographic documentary, DeBary and Deltona are just minutes away for groceries, supplies and a change of scenery.

    Insider Tips? Yeah, you know you are just jonesing for some, right? Here they are: (1) Riverfront sites are the crown jewels at this RV encampment, but book early unless you like camping by the dump station and telling people it’s ‘rustic charm.’; (2) Don’t skip the marina rentals as you’ll look cooler launching a pontoon, but the kayaks give you the better wildlife bragging rights; (3) The on-site Swamp House Grill & Tiki Bar is a must with its fried seafood, rum-fueled tiki drinks along with the chance to meet locals who definitely have fish stories longer than your RV; (4) Some sites feel more ‘neighbors with benefits’ (read: tight) than ‘sprawling privacy,’ so if this of concern for you, do yourself a ‘favor flave’ and grab a spot near the office or look towards the open loops for more elbow room; (5) If you missed it, for mi oar rowin’ bredren, kayak to Blue Spring: it’s the best free manatee show in Florida (sorry, SeaWorld!); and (6) In the event that you’ve already checked out the on-site Swamp House Grill and want to try something new, hit up Hontoon Landing Restaurant for casual riverside eats, Blue Spring Café serving up biscuits the size of your face or DeBary Hall’s nearby eateries for a dose of history and hearty Southern comfort.

    Happy Camping!

    Trimble Park Campground

    Gorgeous natural park

    Been here only 1 day so far. The park is beautiful! It’s like a jungle, very tucked away and private and surrounded by water. 50 amp power, water hookups and sewage dump is right inside the campground for easy access. Our site has lantern hangers and a big fire pit with benches! The sites are nicely paved and graveled and the picnic tables are like new!! 10/10 recommend.

    Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins Auburndale

    So fun! Huge sites!!

    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. They are pet friendly & have dog poo stations along the roads. Very close to a long biking trail & there’s a gas station near the entrance. Beautifully landscaped & friendly staff.

    Lake Kissimmee State Park Campground

    Laid back camping

    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. We will be back here again.


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.
