Best Campgrounds near Maitland, FL

It's a nice place the reason for the 3 stars is because we had a issue because of one of the dogs was a pocket bully that is a very loving dog we came in on Saturday and they said they didn't allow them but I wasn't asked that when I made the reservation we had to wait on Manger to get here on Monday to know if we could stay the told we could after that didn't have a problem but I will do more research on a Campground next we come as a group because it was a music festival we came to all said and done I like the place we just had issues starting out that made us a little upset WiFi isn't the best but I have found that to be true in a few places the pool is nice and peaceful it's a nice place just have to make sure about your pets if allowed or not not complaining about the campgrounds other than the info was there to begin with

Let’s start by saying we were excited the first year we went to this campground back in 2021. It was our first experience at being a snowbird and we had a great time. However as each year passed and our fourth year came to an end for our 6/6 agreement the campground had lost its identity and an under current could be felt which lead to our reduced enjoyment, pleasure and clicks were a major part. As the park lost their good snowbirds they were replaced with a whole different type of person. The rec hall where many events are held turned from a discreet drinking scene to a drunk festival as every event was replaced with 40 oz bottles, moonshine, Jell-O shots and pudding shots leading to a quick deterioration. Watching a married women basically sitting on men laps feeding them shots was the new norm. During our last event a hillbilly theme party one person thought it would be cool to drop his pants three times and no one said anything even with management there. Frankly yes he had a bathing suit but seriously show some class it’s a family park not an adult club. The same person danced with a women who basically lost her pants to her ankles, It’s a shame a respectful park became this and most left events by 7 or 8 pm due to situations. In addition it you like the pool for swimming good luck the volleyball people called Bullyball by some young children took over the pool’s shallow end even when it was not scheduled they pushed their way into the pool setting up their net. This went on for a few years and resulted in several awkward moments at the pool in which management did nothing they allowed it to continue however this year was absolutely out of control. This caused many campers to leave the park as the pool kept being overrun during the prime time 3 pm even if it was not scheduled. By end March push back began and people intentionally loaded up the pool blocking the volleyball players when they tried to start a game during non scheduled times. The Landry areas are a joke they raised the price despite many machines not operating correctly including frying your clothes, not rinsing soap, no cold water only hot water. The washrooms in general are in a desperate need for a full gut and renovation. They are often dirty and not presentable for use. All the pictures you see are a far cry from the true reality and the condition of park today there are old outdated photos. Most of the grass is dead or killed off, most pads are all broken up this includes both the pad and patios. The dumpsters are constantly overflowing as 2 is not enough for the amount of lots, in addition there are rules however these rules are not enforced or for all. This includes drinking and driving golf carts there is even 1 golf cart that is literally a mobile bar. Evidently pot and medicinal pot smokers are a criteria at this campground as no matter where you are If you enjoy the smell of pot it is a multiple daily event this has degraded yearly. It is a shame that this park in a wonderful location has raised it rates$1500.00 per season over our time yet needs serious work. It appears that there is little direction by Management to lead its employees and organize a schedule of maintenance as well as impose the rules.

If only the resort was still maintained as website displays. Was assigned a small lot for our van. Risers for power, water, and cable were functional, but not weatherproof designed. I’d fear an electrical hazard when it rains. By my account, 4/7 washers and 4/8 dryers were tagged out of order. Suspect they been that way for some time due to faded and weathered signage. Restroom and shower area were large with multiple stalls, but in need of cleaning. Garbage dumpsters were overflowing with bags and trash. Dirt roads meandered throughout park with turns and overhanging trees, so may be challenging for long or high rigs. AT&T cell reception was poor. Free WIFI was weak and hard to connect/stay connected. But they offer upgraded service for $4/day. Park was quite quiet overnight given the numerous units. One lone owl hooting under the moonlight was nice. Did not use pool or visit poolside bar.
