Site are fairly big and a rate of $20 to stay the night with water and electricity is reasonable. Bathrooms are not very clean. That's why I only gave a 3 star review.

Best RV Campgrounds near Nalcrest (160)
1. Encore Sherwood Forest
"Nice campground, friendly staff. Can’t speak to price because we’re Thousand Trails members and it’s included in our plan."
"The spot I got was close to restroom with kids is a must if you don’t have other options. Front people were nice and tried to help. Got rained out of my check out time. Had to extend check out."
2. Encore Tropical Palms
"It is located by old town in Kissimmee. The RV resort is always neat and clean. Sites are well maintained with full hookups."
"Good internet, cable TV, nice pool, remodeled bathhouse with laundry facilities but does have nice big laundry area by the pool. It is a bit pricey but worth it for access to Disney."
3. Cypress Campground & RV Park
"We came to Florida to escape NY in 2020, chose from a map! While here, we made good friends with other snowbirds and travelers. There is a nice pool, small playground and 2 laundry facilities."

4. River Ranch RV Resort
"Plenty of room to back in and all the hook ups.The park shares property with Westgate resort and you are allowed to use their amenities s well. My favorite was the petting farm, so many animals."
"We got to go Horseback Riding and they offered an activity for every activity level/age/desire."
5. Butch’s RV Hideaway
"Dirt road going into the gate area, once inside our site would’ve been a tight right turn as soon as you get past the gate and that is not possible when pulling a 32’ trailer."
6. Encore Lake Magic
"We had the cheapest type of spot (so, gravel, back-in), but with some skillful angling didn't need to work at leveling."
"Beautiful park located by all the attractions in the area if that's part of your plans. The park was clean, well maintained. I had a beautiful lake view and pool close by everyday."
7. Rainbow RV Resort, A Sun RV Resort
"Great place to walk. Everyone is very friendly. This is a 55 and older resort so we didn’t see any kids around. Frostproof is a small town so shopping is a bit of a ways off."
8. Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins Auburndale
"The store has so much great stuff and there is always entertainment. They even have a big farmers market on Sundays with tons of vendors."
"Amazing Pool and amenities. Large pull through sites with paver patios, turf, and landscaping. Great activities for the kids. Friendly staff. One of the best resorts we have ever visited."
Check Availabilityfrom $67 - $99999 / night
9. Central Park RV Resort
"Sewer location was very far away. Traffic drove very fast through the park. They do propane refills for only 2.50 a gallon. I would return to this park"
10. Thousand Trails Peace River
"Even though its a bit close to the highway, the park is well laid out and full level hookup sites. There is pleanty to do and see. From a stroll alone the Peace river to swimming or hot tubbing."
"This was our second Thousand Trails stay. Unlike The Oaks at Point South you have to find your own spot. It's a little unnerving. Fortunately, we had a few to choose from as soon as we arrived."

Tim and Leisha were the best! Great campsite close to Disney is what we wanted.. clean and well organized. They make you feel at home and they even invited us to dinner at the pool and provided all the food. I will definitely be going back when I’m in town. They loved our kiddos too!

Beautiful, Peaceful Campground, but the Hospitality Could Use Some Work
The campsites are nice! They’re close together, but there are plenty of trees providing shade and privacy. The grounds are well maintained, probably thanks in part to the very strict rules (nothing tied to trees, no disturbing or touching nature, etc.).
Unfortunately, the spring was closed due to flooding during our visit, but the kids enjoyed the swings at the playground (the slides were too hot!). We rode our bikes, relaxed, and enjoyed the peace and quiet.
My only real complaint was the staff and their approach to enforcing the rules. From the moment we checked in, the emphasis seemed to be more on what we couldn’t do than on welcoming us. We completely understand the importance of protecting the natural environment, but the delivery came across as unnecessarily harsh, almost rude.
To top it off, we received a written warning for checking out 45 minutes late, despite having already vacated our campsite. We were simply waiting to use the dump station. It seemed a bit excessive considering we weren’t occupying our site or holding up the next campers.
Overall, it’s a beautiful, peaceful campground with plenty of shade, and we really enjoyed our stay. A little more hospitality and flexibility from the staff would have made the experience even better.

Peace River Oaks
Decent and quiet
Everything went pretty well except for one hiccup. Our first night staying there our bathroom drain got backed up with sewage that came back up from the drain which caused a terrible smell of The shower then also clogged and had to shower in puddle of water that got gross from our feet being all dirty because of the mud. I had mistakingly booked the stay without adding the hot tub.. so when we mentioned the issue to Dan(main guy in charge) we asked about the hot tub for the second day since it says it needs to be booked for a 2 night minimum. He said it would be taken care of.. so in our minds of a server and bartender and having worked in the service industry for a long time, we figured that the hot tub would be taken care of for us, considering that it's simply a$30 charge. So l then later get a text message from him asking if the card that I had on file was Ok to charge for the hot tub, and I asked if there would be any sort of compensation for the bathroom situation, he said being charged for one night instead of 2 was the compensation.. which made no sense to me since we only were getting it for one night. To top it off the hot tub was not even hot.. Was def not very impressed by that.

4 day getaway
If you like peace and quietness this is a place for you. I’m sure it is busier during the winter months. Plenty of shade with a new pool. You can rent canoes, play putt putt or paddle along the Peace river. If you’re into nature just walk the meandering trails through the woods. New concrete pads with a fire pit and picnic table. Everyone was polite and the WiFi was excellent. We stayed in lot 61. It overlooks the pasture with plenty of shade. Lot 60 and 59 also have total coverage and will be one of my next next choices. Plenty of space between your neighbors even make it better

Huge Campground
The place is very big and spread out , always sites available full hook ups or just water and electric (always alot of these open 20 or more) we have a pass to stay at these sites so we were put in a not so great site ,but talking with front desk (Morgan) she was more than happy to switch us to another site which we were pleased with . Pools clean ,clean bath houses and close to stores (grocery) always love going here . We have a blast . Also its centrally located a hr to coasts ( Venice beach) . Hr and 20 mins from warm mineral springs . River was nice to watch onsite also . Boat ramp also onsite

Needs Some Work
Grass is beyond high. Little dogs can get lost in the grass. Some of the pavers near the pool stairs are lifting to where you need to watch your step or it pinches your foot.
The pros- centrally located. Clean pool. Not too busy of a campground. Large places.

Hit and Miss
Lots of amenities with plenty to do, water park was nice, ice cream shop, marina, and skeet range were cool. Staff was inconsistent - some allowed the kids to have fun but others break out the measuring stick to deny activities. Head scratching at times but will probably go back.

Peace River Oaks
Great lil gem
Great lil place. Nice private bathrooms, mini splits in these and in tent, comfortable for family of 5. Fun turf play area near main office. Shark tooth sifting, trail hike, but the bank river fishing was tough. Owner/manager was a jack of all trades, very helpful and did it all.
Guide to Nalcrest
Recreational vehicle camping options near Nalcrest, Florida include several campgrounds within a 30-mile radius. This central Florida region experiences a humid subtropical climate with summer temperatures frequently exceeding 90°F between June and September. Winter nights can occasionally drop into the 40s, making it popular with northern visitors seeking milder temperatures. Most RV campgrounds in this area have minimal elevation change with primarily flat terrain.
What to do
Explore Lake Kissimmee State Park: Located within driving distance of Nalcrest, this park offers excellent hiking trails, fishing opportunities, and wildlife viewing. "We had a BLAST at this camping retreat 3 miles from Legoland! The owners/employees were very nice and accommodating. The pool was just what we needed, the put-put was a fun activity," notes a visitor to Cypress Campground & RV Park.
Visit the Saturday rodeo: A unique local attraction that provides family entertainment. "On Saturday they have a rodeo. There is a bar and restaurant on the property. Lots of trees and shade throughout," reports a camper at River Ranch RV Resort. The resort shares property with Westgate and allows access to their amenities as well.
Try horseback riding: Several campgrounds offer equestrian activities for visitors. "River Ranch itself has a ton of activities for the entire family! We got to go Horseback Riding and they offered an activity for every activity level/age/desire. There are cute stores to shop at, unique setups at the resort," writes one reviewer about their experience.
What campers like
Central location to attractions: Many campers appreciate the strategic position between major tourist destinations. "This is a great campground if you want to visit Orlando/Kissimee attractions without paying an arm and a leg. It is located by old town in Kissimmee," states a review of Encore Tropical Palms.
Accessible biking trails: The region offers dedicated paths for cyclists. "There's an eagle preserve by the lake and the Auburndale bike trail (29 miles!) just outside of the entrance," reports a visitor to Camp Margaritaville RV Resort.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Campers frequently mention animal sightings. "Plenty of deer to watch throughout the day. Had issues with the laundromat. Could not use my credit card, had to use my card app on my phone," notes a visitor at Encore Tropical Palms. The natural surroundings provide opportunities to observe local fauna.
What you should know
Summer humidity concerns: The Florida climate requires preparation during warmer months. "We got rained out of my check out time. Had to extend check out," reports a tent camper at Encore Sherwood Forest RV Resort.
Variable site conditions: Site quality can vary significantly within the same campground. "Except for the few concrete pads up front, all the sites are on grass. 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," warns a reviewer at Encore Sherwood Forest.
Bug preparation essential: Be ready for insects, particularly in warmer months. "Have to watch out for the mosquitoes so bring a lot of bug spray," advises a camper at River Ranch RV Resort. Local insects can be persistent, especially near water features.
Tips for camping with families
Water activities are plentiful: Multiple swimming options keep children entertained. "Great location and fun for the whole family! Kids played for four hours straight and went back for more after dinner!" shares a parent who stayed at Camp Margaritaville RV Resort.
Consider campground noise levels: Some parks are quieter than others. "This is a quiet park centrally located to most attractions. They rent mobile homes out, small park and outdoor pool," notes a visitor to Encore Sherwood Forest RV Resort. Noise considerations are important for families with younger children.
Check playground availability: Not all campgrounds have equal family facilities. "The playground looked fun but was closed due to Covid. We ended up staying an extra day and would love to come again sometime!" reports a family that visited Cypress Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling varies by park: Come prepared with leveling equipment. "Really unlevel, lots of full timers and some of their units have become run down. Good amenities but bad sites. I could not get my unit close to level," warns an RVer at Central Park RV Resort.
Reserve early for winter stays: The popularity of RV campgrounds near Nalcrest, Florida increases significantly during winter months. "We stayed here for a week. The park had a lot of permanent residents living here but it wasn't ran down really bad like other parks. Good power. Good water pressure. Sewer location was very far away," notes a visitor to Central Park RV Resort.
Consider campground access roads: Some parks have challenging entrances. "Dirt road going into the gate area, once inside our site would've been a tight right turn as soon as you get past the gate and that is not possible when pulling a 32' trailer. So we had to go down and do either a U turn or a 3 point turn," details an RVer who stayed at Butch's RV Hideaway.
