Central Florida's Webster area sits approximately 60 miles west of Orlando at an elevation of about 75 feet above sea level. The region features a subtropical climate with mild winters and humid summers, making RV camping near Webster, Florida popular year-round. Campgrounds in this area typically offer level sites on sandy soil with scattered oak trees providing partial shade.
What to do
Nature observation: wildlife viewing: At Encore Clover Leaf Forest RV Resort, visitors can spot local wildlife around the pond. "The Pond has fish, turtles, ducks and even according to the sign, alligators. You will even find a park bench that overlooks a babbling Brook," notes Robert M.
Golfing: affordable on-site course: Golf enthusiasts can enjoy the links without leaving their campsite at Encore Clerbrook. "There are so many amenities and even a full golf course," reports Derick B. Stuart K. adds that "first 9 holes are complimentary with a visit to the Pro Shop."
Biking: downtown access: Campers staying at Winter Garden can access the West Orange Trail. "Our favorite activity is biking to the trail head for the West Orange rails to trail which is located downtown @ 3 miles from campground. This rail to trail is 22 miles long and can be extended another 9 miles if you link to South Lake Trail," notes Travyl Couple.
What campers like
Proximity to attractions: central location: Many campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring Central Florida destinations. "This is a great central location to visit lakes, gulf coast, springs and historic towns. Plenty of shopping nearby, whatever you could want," shares Mary H. about Encore Southern Palms.
Community atmosphere: social environment: Long-term and seasonal guests create welcoming communities. "There is a tight community here and if you are spending your TT max of 2 weeks, and you want to be, you can be integrated into the community. Our kid busted his butt for folks and made $100 in 2 weeks helping people," says Ian R. about Winter Garden.
Natural setting: tree coverage: Despite being near urban areas, many parks maintain natural environments. "We chose this area because it was out in the woods, felt like real camping not some concrete slab city," explains Blue B. about Encore Lake Magic, while Robert M. describes Three Flags as "Beautiful location off of a major highway but due to lots of trees - very little road noise."
What you should know
Site selection: request interior spots: Road noise affects outer sites at several parks. "Would try to not park close to the main road. Just one row back is a lot quieter," advises Jacob C. about Clover Leaf Forest. For Southern Palms, Kurtess R. notes, "Don't like being towered the front of the park right next to the road. Love to be in the back where all the shady trees are."
Seasonal considerations: rainy periods: Florida's climate can create wet conditions. At Encore Sherwood Forest, Geoff Y. reports, "While you can't blame the park for the weather, recently there's been a lot of rain and rigs of all sizes are up to their rims in muck. Seems to be a draining problem as the water stands for several days."
Site surfaces: varied paving: Surface types differ significantly between parks and specific sites. At Sherwood Forest, "Except for the few concrete pads up front, all the sites are on grass," explains Geoff Y. Winter Garden reviews mention "paved area to park your vehicle," while Sumter Oaks provides "level pads."
Tips for camping with families
Pool amenities: varied operating hours: Swimming pools offer family recreation, but availability differs. At Crystal Isles RV Resort, Erica D. found "Facilities were great. Pool was amazing as was the playground." For Sherwood Forest, Joseph L. notes, "If you are there in the winter, the pool was cold and closes early."
Children's activities: age-appropriate options: Several parks offer dedicated kid-friendly amenities. Crystal Isles features "a great pool, hot tub, clubhouse, playground," and Bryan B. notes Clerbrook has "a decent playground and a fenced in Dog Park" though there's "a big senior/retiree presence."
Security considerations: varied by park: Safety features differ between parks. Derick B. reports Sherwood Forest has "security for that added sense of safety," while another reviewer notes at Sherwood Forest that "security team up front - they let everyone in. I rarely see them stop anyone."
Tips from RVers
Electric service: system limitations: Capacity issues occur at some parks. At Winter Garden, Craig F. reports, "We kept tripping the 30A breaker with AC on and a hot plate or microwave. But in the end price seemed reasonable for what it was. They did have a note saying electric lines were being improved and power may intermittently go out."
Site positioning: arrival guidance: At Sumter Oaks RV Park, staff help optimize positioning. Robert M. describes Southern Palms' "unique style they have of getting you to your spot. You follow a person to your spot and they then stretch a rope for you to back along to make sure your at the farthest from one side to give both you and the next site all the space allotted."
Connectivity: generally good coverage: Internet and cell service is available at most parks. Robert M. notes at Southern Palms, "Att and T-Mobile Hotspots and phones were perfect, no issues," while Stuart K. mentions Clerbrook offers "complimentary WiFi" among its amenities.
