16 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Orlando-area RV parks offer hookups and amenities with varying proximity to area attractions. Thousand Trails Orlando in Clermont features over 850 full-hookup sites with generous yards and decent landscaping, accommodating big rigs with both back-in and pull-through options. "There are approximately 850 sites depending on the tortoises—sometimes they get a whole spot if their nest is there," noted one regular visitor. Mill Creek RV Resort in Kissimmee provides full hookup RV sites with concrete pads that accommodate standard-sized motorhomes, while Encore Tropical Palms in Kissimmee offers year-round access with 50-amp electrical service and sewer connections on paved sites. Winter Garden RV Resort features tight quarters with full hookups including cable, though some visitors report standing water issues after rainfall.
Several parks require advance booking during peak periods, particularly in winter months when seasonal visitors arrive. Sites at Orlando/Kissimmee KOA Holiday include 134-foot maximum length slots with full hookups and paved, level concrete pads, making it suitable for oversized motorhomes and fifth wheels. Cell service varies considerably across the region, with one camper reporting that "the park is in Clermont and it's not a huge town but decent sized. There isn't great cell service. The park is further from a tower and there are so many RVers in the area that don't count towards the population, it becomes a bandwidth issue." Most parks offer propane refill stations, laundry facilities, and dump stations, with many located within 30 minutes of major attractions like Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World. Pet-friendly accommodations are standard, though specific pet areas and restrictions vary by location.
"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."
"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. The RV resort is always neat and clean."
"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."
"The place, including restrooms and showers are fairly clean. People I met here are nice, so was the staff on the phone. Very close to orlando, certainly not a nature retreat."
"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."
"Lots of stops and places to eat t close by. id go 5 stars but thé turnpike is beau by and can be a bit noises. We use our fan as a noise block at night."
"Good place. 30/50 amp plugs, concrete pads. Water and sewer hook ups. They have a pool. Didn’t use the bath house."
"This park is conveniently located close to local attractions. The prices are extremely reasonable. We would definitely stay again."
"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."
"The staff at the front gate were very welcoming and accommodating as the first site we were assigned was too small for our TT and was further away from the amenities (like the heated pool and hot tub)"
"There are more RVers here in the winter than I thought possible in one place not the Hershey or Tampa RV Show. Lots of families, lots of older folks, overall a good mix of people. "
"D- Jungle, Secluded, Private, also with snakes but a lot more shade E/F/G- Normal RV Park in the grass, some shade in some parts."
from $85 / night
"Parking all back in on grass with no cement, table or fire pit. Next to a highway so it can be noisy."
"This is a Thousand trails Trails collection. Nice size park. We stayed for a couple of days as we prepped for our trip to the Northeast."
"Needed a place to stay to go to the Winter Park Art Fest. The people at check in were extremely friendly and had great customer service."
"This private campground is Florida Springs at its best! We took our RV (class A) for a weekend trip here. We paid the extra fee to get an Elite site which was totally worth it!"
from $40 - $73 / night
ScoutTim 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!
LegendThis Old Florida location has a Western bent to the place with the covered wagon motif and ranch-styled main office with what looks to be a horse tie up on the porch, so whatever the theme might be, this RV enclave is a good stretch away from the I75 highway that you moseyed onto in to find this 55+ retirement one lane (OK, there’s a simple loop) cowboy retirement OK corral. You’ll access Countryside RV Park via Country Rd 489 just off of Route 470 and if you blink (you know, because of all that dust blowing off the prairie), you’d miss the turn-off, so keep your eyes peeled, pardner, and about 20 yards into the property, you’ll swing by the office on what looks to be freshly laid, small single vehicle lanes and check in with the sheriff (er, the RV manager), who will direct you to your humble piece of very flat land, which no doubt will be draped in shade provided by the scattered ancient and live oaks that are sweating Spanish moss creating a very (trust me) un-wild, wild west vibe.
There’s some basic amenities here in addition to the standard pull-through parking pads and FHUs offering 20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage, including: sanitary dump, impeccably clean his / her restrooms and shower facilities, picnic tables, WiFi, cable TV, coin-operated laundry, horseshoes, side X side shuffle boards that are in pristine condition, recreation room with billiards, dog park, fire pit, retention pond, on-site storage, exercise equipment and gym. There’s even a proper mail room in case you plan on staying long enough that you need to receive mail here or have it forwarded (beats waiting for the Pony Express to arrive). Due to this being a semi- or full-retirement zone, Countryside offers additional diversions and activities like bingo, Karaoke, bowling, arts & crafts as well as Bible study, in addition to learning how to lasso your very own steer (OK, I made up this last one).
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If your ID or social security card doesn’t clearly state that you are 55+ you won’t have any luck at this hideout; (2) If you do manage to stay here, IMHO the best spots are those either on the western - but of course - side of this depot (#6 – 22) or eastern (#46–#59) perimeters; (3) Should you need to load up on anything while here, there’s not much nearby apart from a Dollar General and Kal’s Food Grocery, but if you don’t mind driving slightly further afield, there’s a Publix NE of here and a Winn-Dixie and Walmart due south of here towards Bushnell; and (4) In the event that you’d like to grab some local grub, there’s Big Apple Café and a Subway nearby in the small town here, or up on Lake Panasoffkee there’s Big Bass Grill Lakefront Restaurant & Marina, which I highly recommend.
Happy Camping!
TravelerIts a great campground for longterm and short term alike, my wife and myself live out of pull behind full time and have been here since August. This campground is conviently located roughly 45 minutes from downtown Orlando and 30 minutes from Cocoa Beach. They have several buildings available for use to campers with kitchens inside some of the buildings, they have a beautiful pool open year round, a pool table nicely located right beside part of the Orlando wetland walking trails. Plus really who doesn't want to reconnect with their inner child and stay in a small little town like Christmas where the post office is decorated year round, there's a nativity scene up year round and parts of the park itself keeps some lights up year round.
LegendAt first glance, Intercoastal Retreat just north of Titusville off US1 looks like it might offer a quiet, waterside escape, but once you pull in, it quickly becomes clear this is more of a long-term resident RV park than a comfortable family campground. While a few areas feel newer and recently refreshed, the internal roadways are in rough shape with deep potholes and aggressive speed bumps that make navigating with kids, bikes, or even walking feel frustrating rather than relaxing. The RV sites themselves are very tight and closely packed, with little privacy and a strong semi-permanent resident vibe that doesn’t lend itself well to families looking for a friendly, communal camping experience. One moment that really crystallized things for us was watching the boys step out of the truck, look around at the cramped setup and uneven roads, and quietly ask if this was where we were staying for the night, which told us everything we needed to know. From what we saw, there isn’t a standout best site here, as most feel equally constrained and exposed to traffic within the park. We would not recommend Intercoastal Retreat for families, but instead would point families to Willow Lakes Golf & RV Resort, which sits just down the road and offers a far more welcoming layout, smoother infrastructure, and an overall experience that feels intentionally designed for families looking for nicer amenities.
LegendTucked into Merritt Island just minutes from the Banana River and the Kennedy Space Center, Space Coast Camping feels like one of those places where location alone makes the experience unforgettable. The campground itself is simple and laid back, with a mix of RV sites and tent friendly areas, clean restrooms, open grassy spaces, and an easygoing layout that makes settling in feel stress-free rather than over programmed. What truly sets this place apart for families is its proximity to NASA and on our stay we lucked out in the best possible way, with the boys zipped into their sleeping bags, eyes wide, watching a rocket launch streak across the night sky without ever leaving the campsite, a moment that felt equal parts bedtime story and real life magic. From what we saw, the best campsites are those with a clear southern or eastern sightline and a bit of open space around them, as they offer the widest sky views and the best chance of catching a launch without obstructions. I would absolutely recommend Space Coast Camping for families, especially those traveling with kids who love science, space and unforgettable moments, because few campgrounds can honestly say they deliver core memories before lights out.
LegendPulling into Cape Kennedy RV Resort just off I-95 in Mims felt like stepping into a haven of wide skies and gentle breezes, where the lush shade trees and relaxed layout of this RV park immediately invited us to exhale and settle into a slower pace after a long day on the road. The RV sites are roomy and shaded, giving you that sense of being tucked into nature even though you’re just minutes from the highway, and the clean, well-maintained facilities make set-up feel effortless. One of my favorite moments here was watching the boys gather sticks for a small, post-dinner campfire while fireflies blinked around the grassy edge of our site and the river reflected the last warm colors of sunset, laughter and simple chatter weaving into a perfect end-of-day memory. The best campsites are the ones located on the western side of the property where you can wake up to the chirping of birds, covered by solid shade while sipping your morning coffee, which makes lingering here feel like a little slice of calm amidst the journey. We’d recommend Cape Kennedy RV Resort for families who appreciate EZ interstate access, shady, beautifully spaced sites, and a blend of nature and convenience.
LegendWhispering Pines sits just outside Titusville and immediately gives off a very settled, long-term vibe, with neatly kept grounds and a calm, orderly layout but is more like a 55+ retirement community than a family campground. The park does offer overnight RV spots with full hookups, clean facilities and a well-maintained interior road system, but amenities skew toward extended stays rather than kid friendly features, with no playground, open play areas or communal spaces that invite younger campers to roam. While we were there, the boys quietly rode their bikes in short loops near our site before growing restless, a clear signal that this wasn’t a place designed for curious energy or spontaneous play. If you are overnighting it here, there’s really only one area that all non-long term RVers are huddled together with no privacy or shade. While Whispering Pines may be a comfortable and appealing option for retirees or long term RV residents who value peace and routine, I would not recommend it for families, especially when Manatee Hammock Campground just to the south offers riverfront space and room to explore, and Indian River RV Park to the north that provides a much more welcoming atmosphere for traveling families with kids.
LegendArriving at Indian River RV Park just off US-1 in Titusville feels calm and unhurried, with a palm-lined setting near the Indian River that offers an EZ pull-in and a welcome sense of space after a day on the road. The park leans into a relaxed, old-school Florida vibe with grassy sites, mature trees offering tons of shade, clean restrooms and showers and a layout that feels friendly and low-key rather than overly polished. One of our favorite family moments here was loading the boys into the car after dinner and heading out to watch a satellite launch from Cape Canaveral, their chatter slowly turning into wide-eyed silence as the rocket lit up the sky and left a glowing trail we’ll never forget. Earlier that evening, we enjoyed a classic Space Coast dinner at Dixie Crossroads, where the family shared baskets of rock shrimp, hushpuppies and sweet tea, making it feel like a true Florida rite of passage. From what we saw, the best sites are those closer to the river side of the park, where gentle breezes and morning bird calls make early coffee feel especially peaceful. We’d recommend Indian River RV Park for families who value EZ access, a quiet and shaded campground atmosphere, and close proximity to unforgettable local experiences like waterfront dining, Cuban cafes (just out the back corner) and watching rockets soar into space.
ScoutThis campground is close to Kenedy Space Center and Merritt Island. It has full hookups and plenty of amenities. Restrooms are clean. Some of the sites are quite small, but there are plenty of large sites for big rigs.
Orlando area RV parks offer diverse camping experiences beyond their Disney proximity. Most sites remain open year-round due to Florida's mild winter climate, with summer temperatures averaging 90°F and frequent afternoon thunderstorms from June through September. Campgrounds range from resort-style properties with extensive amenities to more basic facilities with varying access to natural areas.
Downtown exploration: Winter Garden RV Resort puts you within biking distance of charming downtown areas. "We loved being close enough to ride our bikes to downtown Winter Garden. The kids enjoyed ice cream, the bike trail, and the splash pad, all while the parents enjoyed the brewing company and coffee shop (Axum)," notes one visitor at Winter Garden RV Resort.
Natural springs swimming: Wekiva Falls offers spring swimming options distinct from typical pools. "You can swim in pool or swim in lagoon. Rent a canoe or kayak and explore the Wekiva River," explains a camper at Wekiva Falls RV Resort. The spring water maintains a consistent temperature year-round, providing relief during hot summer months.
Golf access: Some rv parks in Orlando, Florida provide direct golf course access. "They have approximately 850 sites depending on the tortoises—sometimes they get a whole spot if their nest is there," shares one visitor about the expansive grounds at Thousand Trails Orlando, which also offers "a small Lake with Kayak rental" among its many recreational options.
Location convenience: The proximity to shopping and local attractions remains a top benefit. "This is a well run RV park very conveniently located to most of Orlando attractions. The staff and management are in the top tier," reports a visitor at Mill Creek RV Resort, which offers concrete pads for easier setup.
Wildlife viewing: Many parks feature natural areas where wildlife sightings occur regularly. "Plenty of deer to watch throughout the day," mentions one camper about Tropical Palms Resort, highlighting an unexpected nature experience amid developed areas.
Multi-generational activities: Orlando rv parks often schedule regular events for different age groups. At Encore Clerbrook, one visitor appreciates the diverse amenities: "Large corner site which was nice. Good stores and restaurants close by. Go check out the mini White House in Clermont!"
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some parks more than others. "The park is close to a highway so it can be noisy," notes a visitor at Encore Southern Palms, though they add that "by late in the evening things quieted down nicely."
Water management issues: Florida's rainfall patterns can create temporary problems. A visitor at Encore Sherwood Forest observed that "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."
Seasonal occupancy variations: Winter brings significant population changes to parks. "We have stayed here 2 times for 2 weeks at a time and we love it. The park is quiet the neighbors are cool and there's even security for that added sense of safety," reports a summer visitor at Sherwood Forest.
Water recreation options: Multiple swimming facilities appeal to families with children. At Encore Tropical Palms, "padded or unpassed sites. nice pool with grille. happy hour specials. activities for children. very clean park. numerous bath houses."
Playground access: Some parks offer better play facilities than others. "Kids love the ability to ride their Bikes around the campground and love the pool," notes a family at Tropical Palms about their third visit to the property.
Safety considerations: Security measures vary between parks. "The park has a gate guard shack thing and lots of staff members. They have dark green polos ride around on golf carts. They are super friendly," describes a visitor about the visible security presence at some locations.
Site selection strategy: Choose locations based on your specific priorities. At Encore Lake Magic, "We chose this area because it was out in the woods, felt like real camping not some concrete slab city. It was very enjoyable."
Power management: Electrical capacity varies widely between parks. "We kept tripping the 30A breaker with AC on and a hot plate or microwave," reports one RVer about Winter Garden RV Resort, highlighting the importance of understanding power limitations.
Leveling requirements: Site preparation differs significantly across Orlando rv parks. "With some skillful angling didn't need to work at leveling," notes a visitor at Lake Magic, describing how proper positioning eliminated the need for extensive leveling equipment.
