      Wonderful Staff, pet and kid friendly.

      This is a very clean, pet and children friendly RV park. Gated dog park with lots of toys.

      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.

      Encore Clerbrook

      Hole In One For this RV Parking Course

      It’s not common to find a spot that you can plant your RV on and go out to hit the links for the day all in the same location, but here at Clerbrook Golf & RV Resort you can hit par on both fronts. Located right off Route 27 just due west of Lake Apopka in central Florida, Clerbrook offers nearly 300 acres of prime landscape that posits 1200+ RV slots for your parking and vacationing pleasure. Here you’ll be able to perfectly blend a golfing oasis that blends its RV offering complete with lush vegetation, interconnecting ponds and narrow canals all surrounded by ancient Oaks draped with Spanish Moss. 

      As far as amenities goes, Clerbrook does not disappoint. Here’s just a small list of all the great amenities you’ll find: Welcome Center, Heated Swimming Pools, BBQ and Picnic tables, Planned Activities, Clubhouses, Billiard Room, Card Rooms, Post Office, Fishing Area, 18 Hole Golf Course with Pro Shop (note: first 9 holes are complimentary with a visit to the Pro Shop), Exercise & Fitness Center, Horseshoe Pits, Recreation Hall, Laundry, Shuffleboard Courts, Library, Nature Walks, Pets Welcome, Picnic Pavilion, Driving Range, Dog Park, Wood Shop, Basketball Court, Playground, Restrooms & Showers, Softball Field, Hot Tub, RV Storage, complimentary WiFi, Arts and Craft Classes as well as Live Entertainment on the weekends. Of course, for RV’ers you can expect both back-in and pull-through slots with all of the traditional water, sewage and electric (30 / 50 amp) hook-ups. 

      Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you’ve got wine on your mind (and why wouldn’t you when on holiday?!), just meander a few miles south of Clerbrook and you’ll discover a fairly respectable winery called Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards offering tours and tastings featuring Muscadine grapes (apparently a prominent grape varietal down in these parts known for their antioxidant qualities; (2) When you get tired of fixing every meal from your mini-fridge or cooler, then you’ll have to head south to Clermont where you’ll find PeruRican Ceviche, which for these parts is pretty outstanding and if you are still longing for pizza, check out Mamma Rita’s Pizzeria for some good pies and pasta; and (3) If nature is calling and you want to get out for a good hike, then head due south to Hiawatha Preserve that has a few dog parks, playgrounds, picnic areas, hiking paths, and of course, access to Lake Hiawatha, in case you want to drop your kayak or canoe in the water. 

      Happy Camping!

      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).

      No dogs allowed and they like many Florida parks should have some way for Fl residence to actually be able to camp in Florida but no they don’t

      Blue Spring State Park Campground

      Lovely pet friendly camping and spring

      This campground was awesome for a weekend away with the family and dogs. It was still very hot and buggy in Florida so be warned If this is an issue for you. Large campsites with a picnic table, electric, and water. Pet friendly and clean bathrooms with a small walking path for the pups. Been to better but a great weekend away!

      Sonrise Palms RV

      Peaceful Pocket on the Space Coast

      There is something instantly calming about pulling into Sonrise Palms RV Park (you will want to note that misspelled 'Sonrise' otherwise you won't find this place on your GPS), tucked just off I-95 in Cocoa, where the pace slows down and the setting feels more like a quiet neighborhood packed with RVs than a busy campground, with spacious, mostly level sites, palm trees and greenery scattered throughout along with an EZ layout that makes settling in feel effortless. With around 80 to 90 full hookup sites, a heated pool, clean bathhouse and laundry, and even small touches like a dog park and canal fishing, this spot has all the essentials covered without feeling overwhelming. One evening, we grabbed a casual dinner nearby called The Grass Shack and came back to let the boys unwind at the pool while my hubby and I walked the grounds, spotting little bits of wildlife and enjoying that warm Florida night air before heading back for a cozy wind-down at our site. I would absolutely recommend this campground for families looking for a relaxed, low-key stay thanks to its quiet atmosphere, very clean bathroom and shower facilities as well as EZ access to nearby beaches, rocket launches and Space Coast adventures just a short drive away.

      Manatee Hammock Campground

      Best place to see a launch!

      THIS quaint little park is so delightful. With so many gorgeous water birds and trees. The park sits off the Indian River and is the perfect place to catch a launch. The are also very dog friendly and have a dog park. The dock is also the perfect place to catch some redfish or snook. Had a wonderful time in this tucked away little spot.

    Maitland, Florida offers camping opportunities in a region known for its subtropical climate with year-round accessibility. Located in central Florida with an elevation of just 92 feet above sea level, Maitland's camping areas feature diverse ecosystems including springs, lakes, and pine forests. The region's warm temperatures allow for camping throughout all seasons, though summer months often bring afternoon thunderstorms.

    What to do

    Springs exploration: Wekiwa Springs State Park sits just 5 miles from Maitland, offering crystal clear 72-degree water year-round. "The springs area is fun for swimming. Canoes are available for rental. Bathrooms are nice. Music and fun on the weekends!" according to Monica E. who visited Wekiva Falls RV Resort.

    Kayaking and canoeing: The Wekiva River system provides excellent paddling opportunities with multiple access points. A visitor at Blue Spring State Park Campground shared, "You can see manatees here and there is good swimming, freediving, and scuba diving." Rental costs typically run $20-35 for half-day adventures.

    Wildlife viewing: Central Florida's ecosystems support diverse wildlife including manatees, alligators, and numerous bird species. "Have you ever seen one outside of a Florida zoo? Here the manatees come into the small, spring river in the cooler months (mainly) to warm up," notes Pam W. about Blue Spring State Park.

    Biking: The West Orange Trail passes near multiple campgrounds. "This campground was very clean and peaceful to stay at... You can go to several other parks, the Central Florida Zoo, and even to downtown Sanford via bike trails," reports Jarrett R. from Lake Monroe Park.

    What campers like

    Natural water features: The spring-fed swimming areas maintain constant temperatures. At Wekiwa Springs, visitors appreciate "The swimming pool / spring in the center. Concrete borders surrounded it and there was a grassy hill to sun on or chairs to relax in too," as described by Christy C. from Wekiva Falls RV Resort.

There's water at your site, a metal fire pit, showers and bathrooms nearby with outlets," reports Alistar B. about Magnolia Park Campground.

    Proximity to attractions: Campers value the ability to experience nature while staying close to Orlando's amenities. "This is a little oasis in the middle of Orlando. Great facilities, great location. You really won't believe the quality of the campground," writes Brian K. about Bill Frederick Park.
