      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.

      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!

      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)

      Little Charlie Creek RV Park

      Little Charlie Creek

      The campsite was nice. The dog park was nice. The pool was nice but had ALOT of frogs that didn’t make it… I was told there was a turtle found once so look before you enter, they do clean it very often though! Very close to Walmart! I even had a package delivered here!

      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!

      Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins Auburndale

      Fun location for the kids

      Easy location to get to. The lots are pretty wide open with little shade, but we had a tiki, which was awesome. Pool was nice and warm. Kids loved the slide. Dog park and wash are a bonus. It was about $140 for a family of 6 to eat at the pool, but well above average food!


    Guide to Frostproof

    Camping near Frostproof, Florida offers access to the unique Lake Wales Ridge ecosystem, an ancient sand dune formation that rises 295 feet above sea level. This central Florida region features longleaf pine forests and scrub habitats with temperatures ranging from mid-50s in winter to 90s during summer months. Camping options include primitive sites in state forests and full-service RV resorts with varying levels of amenities and access to local attractions.

    What to do

    Wildlife observation trails: Highlands Hammock State Park features multiple hiking paths where visitors can spot native Florida species. "The area is beautiful and shady, staff very friendly, lots of critters on the trails," notes Larry M. about Highlands Hammock State Park.

    Fishing opportunities: Lake Arbuckle provides excellent fishing access with convenient boat ramps. "Extremely clean campground - electric and water hook up. On site dump site. The facilities are super clean and well maintained," reports Elisabeth J. about Lake Arbuckle Park & Campground.

    Family entertainment: For those seeking organized activities, check out the rodeo performances. "We went on an airboat ride. It was great. We really enjoyed the rodeo," says Susan K. from Westgate River Ranch Resort.

    Farm animal interactions: Several campgrounds maintain small petting zoos where children can interact with animals. "We absolutely loved going to visit the few farm animals they had as well," shares Nelivette M. about her stay at a local resort.

    What campers like

    Private, spacious sites: Lake Kissimmee State Park offers secluded camping spots. "Campsites are far enough apart for privacy with lots of shades trees. Each site has a firepit. Bathrooms were clean," reports Stephanie G. about Lake Kissimmee State Park.

    Clean facilities: Campers consistently praise the maintenance standards at dog friendly campgrounds near Frostproof. "The bathhouse was extremely clean and showers are really spacious and private," notes Lorilee S. about Resort at Canopy Oaks.

    Wildlife encounters: The natural setting provides opportunities to observe Florida wildlife. "Wild turkeys visited us daily to hang out by a fallen tree near our site. Deer passed by every evening," writes Barbara J. about her Lake Kissimmee State Park experience.

    Winter camping climate: The moderate winter temperatures attract seasonal campers. "We came to Florida to escape NY in 2020, chose from a map! While here, we made good friends with other snowbirds and travelers," shares MaryAnn D. about Cypress Campground & RV Park.

    What you should know

    Reservation systems vary: Some campgrounds use unique methods for site allocation. "They do a lottery no matter what time you arrive, first it was at noon, then moved to 1, then to 2. So everyone that arrived after you has the same chance to get a coveted full hook up site," explains Daniel B. about Peace River.

    Limited shade at newer resorts: Some recently developed campgrounds lack mature trees. "The trees were planted in December 2020, so there's not much shade at this point," reports Lorilee S. about Resort at Canopy Oaks.

    Cell service limitations: Remote locations may have connectivity issues. "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," warns Corey K. about Lake Kissimmee State Park.

    Cash-only policies: Some county-run facilities have specific payment requirements. Lake Arbuckle operates on a first-come, first-served basis and accepts only cash payments.

    Tips for camping with families

    Activity planning: Schedule around peak heat hours with children. "We had the pool so empty, made it more relaxing. The staff were friendly and very helpful overall very enjoyable," notes one camper at Cypress Campground.

    Bring bikes: Larger campgrounds require transportation for children to access amenities. "Bring your bike unless you enjoy long walks. The roads are nice & they offer morning trash pickup," advises Amanda W. about Resort at Canopy Oaks.

    Educational opportunities: Look for ranger-led programs that engage children. "They offer a morning hike and other activities as well," mentions Amanda W. about dog-friendly campgrounds near Frostproof.

    Pool facilities: During hot weather, swimming pools become essential for families. "The pool is huge & gorgeous! Very nice. Same for the tiki bar, we had some great nights there," shares Amanda W. about Resort at Canopy Oaks.

    Tips from RVers

    Site navigation challenges: Some parks have tight turning areas for larger rigs. "Our neighbor across from us had to move his truck and several neighbors were helping direct us into our spot. Everyone we spoke with complained about the lack of space to get a big rv into these spot," shares Samantha O.

    Electrical considerations: Monitor power quality during peak usage times. "Watch the electricity during high usage the voltage drop, ours droped to 108v for a couple hours," warns Thomas E. about Peace River RV and Camping Resort.

    Weather preparation: Summer heat requires additional cooling preparations. "Since it's a new resort and the trees are new there is absolutely to shade! It can get extremely hot that you will definitely need to take advantage of the pool," notes Nelivette M.

    Specific site recommendations: Research individual site attributes before booking. "We were on the inside of the loop on #4. Since the pandemic spots at most state park have been few and far between so we have become way less particular and simply take what we can get at most parks," advises Perry J. about Lake Kissimmee State Park.
