Upper Hillsborough Preserve — Alston Tract
Beautiful, Clean, Quiet
We camped overnight on a Friday and were the only people in the area. Lovely space for dispersed camping with a picnic table, fire pit, an outhouse and hiking trails. We'll definitely visit again when we're in Florida.

Natural gem
We stayed in site 26, which was tucked back and fairly private. We planned on trail riding, but rain changed the plans. We didn’t get to explore much, but will be back. Nice long drive down to the sites. Electric and water were both great, and dump stations easy. Staff was extra friendly.

Camping at the Happiest place on earth
Can’t beat the convenience & amenities of the Disney parks are on your itinerary. Super cost effective and direct access to magic kingdom and easy access to all the others. Sites were big, clear and clean. Amenities were wonderful. I’d stay here even if we didn’t do a Disney park. There are so many sites and yes there are people around but there’s serious vegetation between all the sites that you have plenty of privacy. Constant ground crews, sanitation work and transportation options. Pools, restaurants, shops and fun activities going on all the time. We loved it.

Had no problems, calm and cool surroundings.

Santos Trailhead & Campground
Very nice
This campground is the perfect size. Our site had shade about 95% of the day! We had the perfect size of an area behind our RV. Loved hearing all of the birds chirping. You can hear traffic since it’s right off of the highway. There are plenty of trees around. The bathroom was very clean. It’s nice and dark at night!! We did the hike to see the historical part of the Island. That was neat to read about. We also took the biking trail to say we went above i75 on the bridge. That was a round trip of 15.5 miles, if anyone is interested. It’s a really nice campground, especially if like doing trails and biking.

One night stay
Stayed in spot #8, not as much shade as I had hoped for, would've been better in 10-14. Sites are plenty large and relatively well spaced out. There was a large anthill between the spot and where you park which made packing in and out an adventure (very active colony). Otherwise, the site was level and devoid of rocks & roots. A good night's sleep despite the racoon who pilfered my SunChips during the night.

I mean it's disney
So much to do you don't even need to go to the theme parks if you don't want to. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion https://youtu.be/3qPP3GaZ_UU

Tourist-friendly with Activities galore
Had a 2 night tent camp stay here during January. Great option for family reunions, we had my girlfriend’s 30th here, and with our rented golf cart, had no problems escorting our guests to our campsite to enjoy a camp cookout with us at our campsite. Was definitely an authentic Disney experience, with a never ending list of activities with plenty to keep kids and kids at heart busy, which we didn’t partake in since we were enjoying our campsite.

Nice, quiet, well maintained, spacious CG
We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 10 for 3 days in late April. The CG is very clean, well maintained. Most of the sites are fairly well spaced, particularly for a private CG. The CG host is very friendly and helpful. The property is expansive. The CG roads are paved and the pads are concrete.
AT&T coverage was ok, with 5 bars of 5G+ service and speeds up to 5 MB/s. Parts of the CG have a few trees, particularly near the entrance where ours was, but most sites deeper in the CG are open. We did have line-of-site to the DISH satellites and did have a clear view north, so Starlink was awesome, with speeds up to 53 MB/s.

Best Camping Ever
I simply can't say enough about Ft. Wilderness. It will always be a part of the magic of our Disney family vacations.

Potts Preserve
Great Free Spot
This is a great spot! There’s two camping areas, one off of North Dee and one off of Hooty Point. It’s primitive/equestrian camping and Hooty Point is far better in my opinion because it has water access for fishing.
I stayed at the North Dee Road site and it was still great despite not having immediate access for fishing. First off, it’s free to reserve, and then the campgrounds comes with a firepit, bench, and non-potable water. This was my test run for starting to camp again and I don’t think I could’ve picked a better place.

Amazing Free Primitive Camping with Flush Toilets!
Stayed here for 5 days. Wonderful camp host. Lot's of room. Just pick a place you want to set up, drive in and park. Nice trails to hike. Clean bathrooms. Lot's of places to park with full-sun for solar. They do have non-potable water. Can't keep hose hooked up to RV but you are allowed to run hose to your fresh water tank and fill if you desire. Use at your own risk. Actual location is just to the east of spot shown on dyrt map.

Exciting
Santos is a small but great campground. Sites are roomy. Gravel sites with 50 amp and water. Many trees. Clean restroom and showers. Unbelievable trails for walking and biking!
Stuart O.GuideColt Creek State Park Campground
Very Nice Campground
This campground is obviously quite new. Spacious and open sites that are very big rig friendly. Pads are L-shaped to accommodate the picnic table, yet because of the spacioiusness there's room to pitch a screen tent in the grass.
The demerits for us were (1) laundry is coin op only (no credit card), surprising for such a new park; and (2) no plastic bag dispenseries for dog clean up. Such amenities are nice for extended stays.
- Stuart O.Guide
Lake Louisa State Park Campground
Fabulous!
Perhaps the nicest park we've stayed at. We arrived after dark in the midst of a torrential 3-inch downpour, but the next morning there was no mud or standing water. Amazing! Shower facilities are recently remodeled and impeccable, with new wall tiles and epoxy floors throughout. Laundry machines take coin or credit card. They have plastic bag dispensers for dog cleanup. Such features make Lake Louisa particularly suitable for an extended stay. All the RV lots in our loop were L-shaped pads with an extension for the picnic table. Sites are spacious and open. Nice mix of back-in and pull-through sites. Lots of paved roads outside the campsite loops for biking.

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Overpriced and Overrated
I really don't why people like it other than, "it's a campground on Disney property where I can get some perks of being at a Disney Resort." They seem to put minimal effort into it. The bath houses were clean-ish, one of the two toilets didn't work. I logged a work order and it wasn't fixed by the time we left. Generally the resort feels like Disney's heart isn't in it and they just want to do the bare minimum to keep it operating.

RangerDisney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Amazing 4.9 stars
Such a beautiful and clean campground. Our "Premium Meadows" site was huge, directly across the street from the trading post and pool, and backed up to a trail. Classy neighbors and very quiet. Amazing value to be in the middle of Disney for $130/night. A short golf cart ride to the Magic Kingdom ferry, and a similarly short ride to the buses to other parks. Definitely recommend the golf cart rental- so much easier and more fun than waiting for buses. The Hoop Dee Doo was awesome- a ton of food and pretty funny. Both pools were super clean and not crowded- open late too which was fun. This campground is so nicely wooded and full of paths. We can't wait to return.

Ross Prairie Campground
Beautiful little campground, lots of trails
Only 14 spaces, so very small, but nice. Lots of space between sites. Lots of Hike, bike horse trails are very nice and easy to navigate. Very clean bathroom/showers. The only negative is that it's not far from the raid, you can hear the traffic and it's somewhat busy.
Rhedonda L.TravelerColt Creek State Park Campground
Mediocre at best
So I will say this site has super clean bathrooms, nice tent campsites and freshly paved roads. The tent sites have hookups and very close to the bathrooms. The only downfall is there isn't a ton to do here so don't expect anything spectacular.
