Best Campgrounds near Oak Hill, FL

Beachside sites are tight with no sewer hookups. Only a few sites are big-rig friendly. T-Mobile reception was good. Relatively clean. Staff were very friendly

26 acres, small campground; most sites are relatively close to each other; lots of trees and shade; beautiful water views from several campsites, specially sites 51, 13, 65-69, 169, 170), pool and lots of parks within 30 minutes of Manatee Hammock.  Downside is freight train noise every night in the early morning hours and traffic noise, specially with campsites near the busy US-1.  Also, no fires unless you bring your own fire pit and must be at least 6" off the ground.

We ended up Camping 1 weekend at this site. I called to make the reservation and reserve a plot.

The rep did give me a gate code and bathroom code. However, I'm not sure if you can "drive" to the campsite. None of the other campers had their cars near, and with the set up of Campsites, it's unclear where you would resononably park.

That being said, the bathrooms were clean and stocked, and while a bit of a distance, not terrible if you didn't wait to use them.

The firepits and grill provided are a bit old and rusted, so expect to use pots and pans and not the provided grill.

Our fire pit was a bit uneven, so we used metal stakes to level it.

We were pretty happy with the privacy, but to be honest, if other campers were present, we questioned how one would leave plot 6 and not walk through campsites 5 and 3.

If you’ve got one of those incredibly large mobile homes on wheels, then this particular RV location just off of Highway 414 near Hiawassee may just be the perfect spot for you. OK, there were a few tents here, but you could tell this place was really built for the mobile campers in mind. With 28 ample slanted, elongated parking lanes for your parking pleasure, all of the sites come equipped with the typical 30 / 50 amp electrical hook-ups, waste disposal and water connections. The bathrooms and shower facilities are clean and fairly well-maintained.

There’s the standard picnic table, garbage receptacles and even a community BBQ. The hosts are incredibly nice and offer pricing by the night, week and month. Overall, the community is inviting and friendly and there’s at times some planned activities, with most of those featuring horse shows and competitions of some sort, throughout the week (check with the front desk). While there’s not a ton of amenities to pick and choose from, this location does come with grills, park and shelter as well as all the free glimpses of horses being trained. Of course, should you be here with your noble steed, there’s some 22 miles worth of paths to gallup. Near this RV parking lot, you do have access to Lake Apopka.

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) The real draw to this particular campground is the massive equestrian infrastructure that exists as the fulcrum, so if you are camping, this can be a very nice distraction, in case you come here with the principle idea of racing / showing your horses, then this CG is ideal – and less so if you don’t have a horse and don’t want to camp alongside what could be considered a bit of a circus (especially on show days); (2) Should you grow tired of whipping up franks & beans again for supper and you wanna check out some local fare, you’re going to have to drive a bit north to South Apopka where there’s joints like The Nauti Lobstah, Verona Café, Lechonera Latina and Wings-N-Things; (3) In the event that you need to load up on supplies, there’s both a Sam’s Club and Walmart Supercenter due NE of here; and (4) For some really great hiking & biking, of course, there’s the West Orange Trail, but if you are looking for something a bit different and less trodden, then check out Oakland Nature Preserve, which sits south of Lake Apopka.

 Happy Camping!

East Toho RV Resort (name changed) was a great quick spot for me to stay overnight before an early morning meeting. I was able to check in late easily via a lock box and found a great campsite close to clean bathroom/shower facilities. While it was late and dark, the resort seemed very nice and affordable. I will would definitely be back!

We stayed in one of the mobile homes. It was not glamorous but was plenty adequate for our needs.

Great camp site with just what you needed. It’s close to a power plant and railroad so you hear a lot of noise at night but was perfect for a one nighter

An overnight stay with 25ft RV for 94$ including taxes for a partial hook up. Lovely lady at reception helped us book over the phone few hours before our arrival but you can also drive up after the office closes, park in the overflow area & register/pay the next day. Very clean communal toilet/showers if slightly dated. Nice heated pool… took a dip on a cold day. Very good wifi signal.

We booked last minute in January for an overnight stay with a 25ft RV. They were able to accommodate us. Majority of guests are here for long term. They all made us newbies feel very welcome. Paid 55$ for full hook-up. Poor wifi reception.

Maybe you could distinguish this RV camping lot as one part being ‘surf’ and the other half being ‘turf,’ so let me do my best to explain. As I’m a Pisces, let’s begin with the ‘surf’ side of the equation, which of the ‘two tales’ is certainly the brighter and sunnier side of the story (literally and figuratively). What you’ll discover here at Treasure by the Sea is that indeed this is an absolute gem of a location as it puts you DIRECTLY in front of the white capped Atlantic waves that you’ll experience no shortage of. The only thing separating you from the beach and ocean is the number of steps it takes you to walk there (and if you get lucky enough to get a front-row slot or spot, that’s only about 10 paces)! What little patch of land and fence did exist prior to our visit was eliminated by Hurricane Nicole.

On this eastern side of the AIA there is nothing but a flat and sandy landing for you to park (pull-through or back-in) or pitch your camp for the night, along with a few scattered picnic tables, there’s also water and electric (30 / 50 amp) hook-ups along with a bathroom & shower facility (which were just OK to be honest – and in need of enhancement). Amenities include in addition to beachfront RV sites, cable TV, complimentary WiFi, on-site laundry, scattered fire rings and picnic tables.

With the ‘turf’ side of the property, this is where the main office is, and apart from stopping here to register and check-in, I don’t really encourage you to spend much (if any) of your time on this side of paradise (western side of A1A), apart from dropping your kayak into the Intracoastal / Matanzas River. Additionally, what you’ll discover on this side is mostly mobile home residents, although there were a few free and open spots for RVers who couldn’t get a spot on the beachside.

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) There’s not a lot in these parts, apart from what hopefully is the primary reason you are here for in the first place – beachfront access. If that’s what you are looking for, then this is a DESTINATION that you won’t want to leave anytime soon. But when you do choose to 'get off the reservation,' head north to Palm Coast for smart shops and attractions, or tract due south to a simpler, slightly more touristic experience in Flagler Beach; (2) When you get tired of preparing meals out of a cooler or on-board fridge and want to try out something locally, I highly recommend the crab cakes at Turtle Shack Café, two scoops of Wala Wala Monkey at Sally’s Ice Cream or the firecracker shrimp tacos over at Tortuga’s Kitchen & Bar; (3) The best beachfront spots at Treasure-By-The-Sea are 1, 2 & 3; 19 – 21; and 10 – 17; and (4) After getting enough salt water and beach, be sure to head south to Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreational Area for ‘frakish’ (salt and fresh) water where there’s a simply fantastic inlet to drop your kayak in to check out the Matanzas / Halifax Rivers.

Happy Camping!

This is a 54 site campground with hook ups at each site, fire ring, and picnic table. The trees provide a good amount of privacy from adjacent campers. Clean bathrooms with hot showers. This is about 15 min from the airport yet very removed from Orlando. Water on three sides, gates that close and lock from 6pm to 8 am (Nov-March) but an easy access code is given at check in to be able to come and go after hours. No pets, no alcohol, and quiet after 10. I will stay again! It was a mix of RVs, trailers, camper vans, car camping, and tents when I stayed. The personnel were very nice and helpful at check in.

Very convenient campground to go for a hike along the florida trail and cool off in the gorgeous blue spring waters. It does get crowded so plan accordingly.

Spot 25, direct view to the ocean. At the beach in seconds. Nice pool on the other side of hotel. Will be back!

There is no better ocean front sites that we have found. Perfect location. Basic and all that you need. Easy access to beach and in and out. The views are amazing.

Wonderful staff and well maintained Park, sites and facilities. Great fishing and kayaking in the lagoon with a view of Cape Canaveral.

If you find yourself driving down the second busiest road arteries (Route 4) in Florida you are likely either heading towards or fleeing from the Magical Kingdom – you know, the one with the mouse ears – and are looking for a spot to drop anchor for the night, or longer, and don’t mind intermingling with the 45+ crowd, then Land O’ Lakes might just be the spot for you. With very quick on / off access to Highway 4, which is less than 2 minutes drive from here when you turn off on the Orange City exit, you’ll either get lucky if you rock up and they have space, or if you are reading this, you will have called ahead to reserve one of the handful of spots that exist at the front of this property.

And while not the typical RV parking lot that you would normally find up and down busy stretches of highway like this, what you will appreciate is all of the amazing amenities this place has and with the average age of other residents being higher than average, you’ll rest easy at night knowing that there won’t be any late-night partying or loud music to contend with. The layout of the place is a pretty simple football field shape grid with 2 or 3 roadways. But make no mistake about it, this place is not only geared towards more of a retirement community, but also those that embrace living pretty much year-round in semi-permanent structures.

As far as amenities are concerned, there’s quite a few. The recreation room and the very sweet in-ground heated community pool is located towards the front of the property when you first arrive along with the community center that offers up a nice billiards table and shuffleboard courts in the back. And I have to say, discovering this place that has basically a brand new pool, complete with an awesome deck with chairs, tables and sun umbrellas was a great find! With ample elongated parking lanes for your parking pleasure, all of the sites come equipped with the typical 30 / 50 amp electrical hook-ups, waste disposal and water connections. There’s the standard picnic table, garbage receptacles and even a community BBQ.

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) While I wouldn’t characterize Land O’Lakes as a destination, it is certainly great for a single night stop-over that isn’t crowded, very peaceful and despite being a couple stone’s throw from I4, is very peaceful and quiet. But if you are going to stay here, as there are only a few spots earmarked for overnight or seasonal RVs, you’ll want to call ahead of time to reserve a spot; (2) If you are thinking that this place might make a decent location from which to access Disney World, I would caution you to think again as it is definitely too far to go back and forth everyday – but fret not as there are a ton of other RV / camping options available to you much closer to the Magic Kingdom; (3) Should you want to explore nature while you are in these parts, you are in great luck as both Blue Springs and Wekiva Springs SPs are located just a short jaunt either due west or south of Land O’Lakes respectively; and (4) When you grow tired of trying to figure out that next meal from the innards of your onboard mini fridge or roto-molded Cordova cooler and want to try out some local fare, check out Riverwalk Pizzeria & Brew Pub where they have Kona and Stella on draft, beer cheese fries by the basket, pepper rub chicken wings by the dozen, some very decent baked Ziti and all manners of pizza pies to consider.

Happy Camping!

Only a stone’s throw away to one of the most beautiful and isolated natural springs in the entire Sunshine State, which is Blue Springs SP, Luna Sands is a uniquely hidden campground, built exclusively for the RV driving or 5th Wheel-toting crowd. If you are a tent-pitching camper, then unfortunately there is ‘no room at this Inn’ so to speak, but the good news for you is that if you are reading this review, my HUGE advice would be simply to book a camping spot over at Blue Springs SP itself. That said, if you are looking for an off-the-beaten path RV campground, then you might as well have found heaven.

This place has a quaint, clean community pool that greets you upon entry at the front office (which also serves as a campground market of sorts and sells a number of sundries at affordable prices). Across the way from the front office, you’ll discover the very spartan laundry facilities, adjacent to what looks like a killer outdoor Tiki hut bar with enough exposed floorboards for a proper bit of barn dancing and live music entertaining, although there was neither of these when we were passing through. There’s also a club house here and bath house facilities that were also incredibly clean and very well organized. This is also one of those RV campgrounds that comes with those silly themed weekends from November to April, so if that’s another draw for you, so be it. Additional amenities include: swing set, cornhole, basketball court, WiFi and kids playground with swing set.

As for the campground itself, it is comprised of about 120 back-in and pull-through sites with capacity for 6 additional overflow slots in case the place either gets flooded or overrun somehow. Each slot is accompanied by the standard issued picnic table, which are in fairly decent condition, along with a standard fire ring and are situated on slightly sloping land, so be sure to check out the space beforehand for being level. Typical hook-ups are offered with 20 / 30 / 50 amp electricity, water and sewage. Once on the grounds, as you meander around the place, there’s a number of intimate, little micro-neighborhoods that dot the grounds of this campground. Each space has decent room to both maneuver as well as set up your outdoor living cabana. Cozy and neighborly is how I would describe the place, which might just be perfect, given the prices.

Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) IMHO the best areas to secure a spot include those on the SW corner of the campground as they are far enough away from the main road and the other noise-inducing amenities on the campground. These slots include: #124– 131 as well as #A– K and #39; (2) If you hadn’t come here to access Blue Springs State Park, you should really rethink that and make sure you get over to this water wonderland, which is one of the very few 72 degree year-round crystal clear springs that offers up herds of manatees to swim alongside, particularly from November– February; (3) Should you be looking for some local fare after looking into the depths of your onboard mini fridge and coming up empty, then you are in luck as nearby there’s a sweet little Argentinian joint called Rincon del Sabor and another dive called Taste of Soul – neither of which you’ll wanna write home about, but will definitely give you a break from ‘frank& beans’ for the night. And if neither of those places do the trick for you, there is also a few other restaurants you might wanna check out like Gram’s Kitchen for low country breakfast cooked up all day, Mi Tierra Authentic Mexican as well as Fire on the Bayou for some nice, spicy Cajun; and (4) If you need to stock up on any supplies, nearby Luna Sands is a grade A Publix as well as a Walmart nearby, so you should have no problems being stocked up while staying here.

Happy Camping!
