      Lake Louisa State Park Campground

      Beautiful Lake Louisa

      Lake Louisa is located on the edge of the Orlando metropolitan region. Close to Disney but accessible to other area attractions and communities, if that's what you are lookimg to do.

      We needed a break from life so we went to chill and hang out in the park. What a beautiful park it is. Miles of trails, a small beach, 3 lakes for fishing and kayaking, and 2 fishing piers. They also have equestrian facilities for horseback riding. Including a stable where you can sign up to join a ride.

      The park's campground is compact with 2 very clean bathhouse, a small camp store, and 60 sites. The sites are nicely setup with lots of privacy. There are a few sites with both 50 amp electric and sewer service. One issue, especially in the summer, is the lack of shade so make sure you bring your own shade structures and a fan. In addition to traditional sites, the park has glamping tents, eco tents, primitive tent sites, equestrian sites, cabins, and a youth group area.

      The park is really beautiful. The riolling hills, pine forests, and pretty lakes. The wild flowers are also very pretty.

      We've been to many of Florida's state parks and this is among our new favorites. Just love it! Enjoy!

      Clarcona Horse Park

      Getty Up! @ This Not-So-Standard RV Parking Lot

      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!

      Sawgrass Island Preserve

      Old Florida!

      Sawgrass Island Preserve is a unique piece of property.  I love hiking on the north side of the property it looks so much like Old Florida.  I like to go across the causeway and down the Bog Button Trail and over to the Hammock Trail and along the Cactus Trail and down around the ponds and back out the Bent Pine Trail.  This is around a five mile hike and can be stretched out by doing the North Loop Trail also .  I have seen several whitetail deer, sandhill cranes, lots of other birds, quail, and some turkeys while hiking.  I also saw a black bear up a tree in the marsh.  It is a hidden gem for sure.  The south side is nice but gets super sandy in places due to horseback riders.  And if you have horses the preserve allows riders and even has a spot or two with water for the horses and some picnic areas with hitching post to tie off horse and have some time to eat.  Some trails are narrow and give the feel of actually walking in, in the woods!  I haven't camped there but they have two primitive campsites on the Hammock Trail near the marsh with a fire ring, picnic table, and lantern post.  There is also a horse campsite along the Cactus Trail down near the ponds and there is an open pole barn with two roomy stalls for horses and picnic tables and a fire ring with benches.  Also room to pitch tent under barn too.  There is no water available at any of the campsites.  Could be a fun adventure waiting in Old Florida.  There is a camping application to fill out on line at www.lcwa.org and a  small fee, but if everything checks out ok at the end of the stay after a Ranger has had a chance to check out the site your fee is refunded.

      Lake Louisa State Park Campground

      Great Park with lots of Activities...also near Disney

      Lake Louisa is located in Clermont Florida and is only 20 miles from Disney in Orlando. It is a newer park and the facilities were really nice. We stayed here in June and bugs were only bad at nightfall. We got good reception with our verizon and only ok with our sprint.

      This park is one of our many Trifecta parks, meaning we can hike, bike and kayak. We were easily able to roll our Kayaks to Dixie lake from our campsite. We stayed at a site in Dixie loop sites sites 1-30. Hammond lake was across the road from our campground. The other campground (Sandhill) is equally nice with the same gravel sites, 30/50 amp electricity and water but not quite as close to the lake. There is a dump station and some of the sites have full hookup with sewer. Reserve America does not note which ones have sewer too but when I did some more research I found one review that mentioned that site #’s 16,18,20, 30, 32,33, 34 (ADA), 35,36 (ADA), 37,38,39, &40 are the sites that have sewer too. Note: Only a couple of sites offer a water view due to the foliage and the trees.

      In addition to the campground for Rv,tents and trailers....this park has cute little teepees for rent, tent sites, primitive sites,group sites, 20 cabins (no pets allowed) and even an equestrian campground with stalls and a corral. There are kayak,bike and canoe rentals at the Dixie Lake area camp store which is located next to the campgrounds. When you rent a kayak - you will only be able to kayak on Hammond Lake (unless you hand carry it across the street yourself to Dixie lake if the rules allow that) There are also fishing piers at both Dixie and Hammond Lake. You can also fish and boat on Lake Louisa too. There is also a cute hidden lake called Bear Lake that you can bike or drive to and even put in your kayak or electric boat on this more remote lake. However, since there is no public boat ramp access to Lake Louisa -unless you can hand carry or roll your boat to water....you will need to go to the Palatlakaha River Park and Boat Ramp to put your larger boat into the lake (there are no docks at the park for tying up your boat)

      This park has totally awesome park roads for biking, trails for mountain biking and hiking, and equestrian trails. Be sure to carry a map, I got a little lost hiking because not all the trails were well marked. We also enjoyed riding our bikes into Clermont.

      There is a longer review with links at our website www.travylcouple.com if you want more info than this review and video offers you.

      Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground

      Nice wooded sites, but pretty close

      After our last camping trip where we lost our tent to the elements we recently got a Cotopaxi Inti 2 and thought we'd give it a go somewhere a little closer to home. The campgrounds are nicely wooded and provide a ton of much-needed shade from the Florida sun. Check in was smooth and uneventful and we got to our site (#32) which did seem rather close to those around us, but we set up and then started making dinner. Exploring the campground, we realized it a little weirdly setup with all the sites arranged in a loop with the sites on either side of the road and the facilities (which are nice) in the center of the loop. There isn't a direct path and if you're on the outside of the loop you will have to walk through/by a site within the center ring and then through the "woods" to get to the bathhouse. Some sites have more of a path than others. There are a few accessible sites which have a paved pathway to the bathhouse, but you'd have to walk directly through someone else's campsite to get to them...a little weird. After eating we started to make a fire and thought the group (very near) next to us was a getting a little loud and it definitely made it seem less secluded, when of course we get a Florida downpour (starting to think we can't go camping without it raining) which of course wasn't predicted and we all had to rush to our tents. Stayed huddled in there (and this time thankfully the rain stayed outside our tent) it got much quieter and darker and eventually, we slept through the night to awaken to it still raining... At this point, we were simply glad to be dry and packed up and left in the drizzle. We were on site 32 which was probably one of the furthest from the facilities and you had to walk through a thick path past the clothesline to the back of the bathhouse to get there. If you prefer a more direct line I'd call before booking online and ask about the best locations to get back and forth to the facility. But we were glad it wasn't our site that people were walking through...

      Lake Louisa State Park Campground

      Who knew? Check it out!

      Situated right off of rout 27, a very busy 3 lane state road and not too far from Disney Parks is Lake Louisa State Park. This wasn’t on our initial“A” list of parks to hit as it is a little too close to Orlando for our tastes and driving on I-4 with a trailer is sometimes less than enjoyable, but the Covid has changed some of that. The roads were surprisingly open for a weekend“in-season”. This was definitely an under promise and over deliver weekend in spite of the overcast and rainy weather. 

      The campground is situated between two lakes, Dixie and Hammond. Lake Louisa is much larger but quite a distance from the campground. With three loops, the campground is quite large but didn’t seem as big as it was. The park also offers really nice cabins overlooking the lake on a hill as well as what they call“care free camp sites” which is a modern form of Glamping. I have a few pics attached. 

      We are not theme park people but if I was this would be a great way to do it in either a cabin or tent and a day trip to the park. The campground also has Canoe/Kayak rentals and a small store with essentials including ice and firewood. 

      The park is in Claremont which is a bedroom community to Orlando so the park sees quite a bit of“day trippers” from Tampa, Lakeland and Orlando as it should. The hiking is great, you can also horseback ride and the biking is really great too. The park has quite a bit of topography for a Florida State Park which tend to more or less flat so the cycling looked really good. Next time we’ll bring our road bikes in addition to my OneWheel and Canoe. 

      All the sites looked pretty good. We were in the third loop in site #43 which was on the inside and next to the bath house but with enough buffer space you didn’t notice anybody at all. We commented that we should have brought laundry as it would have been really convenient.

      Lots to do at this Florida State Park with an overall good vibe for sure. Don’t let the proximity to a rather large population fool you, it is great place to visit!

      Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground

      The springs is perfect cold for the Florida heat

      I like to camp out places where swimming is available. We camp a lot during the summer but since this is Florida it's HOT regularly and sizzling during the summer months. Although the spring is quite a walk, with floats in tow, driving is an option also and there is always lots of parking, and it goes in a curve so your never to far from accessing the springs no matter where you end up parking. Oh and they allow you to use a golf cart also. I'm not all that impressed with the sites, crushed shell, and you have to pitch the tent on it also, would be cooler if they let you pitch it a bit off site so your in the pine straw verse the crushed shell, which sucks to sleep on if you don't have a pad. This campground sees more rigs then tents and thankfully there is electric hook ups so you don't have to here any generators, bc you are close close by each other. Showers were decent if you got one with a shower head and having hot and cold adjustable is nice. We also took advantage of the clothes line they have on site as well as the second loop has a book exchange. LOVE THOSE! We saw tons of wildlife even just chilling at the campground. Turkey, deer, tortouse, friendly squirrels. Your in bear territory but there are no bear lockers which is nbd we are used to keeping our coolers in our trucks at night. Definitely will camp here again. Bring your kids, your floats, kayak, snorkle ... You can even bring your canapy to the water area with lawn chairs and your mini grill and just do the place for the day at the springs it self. They also have a horse coral and a BUNCH of hiking trails.

      Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake

      In the heart of Orlando and you don’t even know it

      You can’t get more centrally located that bill Frederick. Located In metro west, this park is close to both the theme parks, and a commutable distance to north Orlando. The campground is at the back of the park up against the lake shore making it quieter than you would think for being so close to the expressway. The bathrooms and shower leave something to be desired. They could be cleaner and the shower drains tend to back up but everything works and is serviced daily. Only campground downside is there are no fire pits by each site. Open fire is only allowed at the grills, in another area of the park.

      A nice bike trail circles the whole park. RV’ers must use dump site to get rid of black and grey water. No sewer hookup.

      This park fills up when events like renaissance fair or dragon boat racing come through.

      This park offers every recreation in the book: boating, fishing, biking, hiking, frisbee golf, wildlife watching (petting farm), jungle gyms, horse boarding, grilling spots, swimming pool. There’s something here for everyone.

    Guide to Oviedo

    Equestrian campgrounds near Oviedo, Florida offer trail access and facilities for riders traveling with horses. Central Florida's year-round mild climate allows for camping in all seasons, with temperatures averaging 70-90°F in summer and 50-70°F in winter. The region's flat terrain makes it accessible for riders of all skill levels, with many trails winding through pine flatwoods and oak hammocks characteristic of the area.

    What to do

    Trail riding on dedicated horse paths: Lake Louisa State Park offers 20+ miles of equestrian trails through diverse ecosystems. According to Travyl Couple, "This park has totally awesome park roads for biking, trails for mountain biking and hiking, and equestrian trails. Be sure to carry a map, I got a little lost hiking because not all the trails were well marked."

    Swimming in natural springs: Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground provides a refreshing break after riding. Zackari S. shares, "Really nice campground with all the amenities, showers, water, and power hookups for rv's, or in my case to charge my phone and camera. We're staying at the family campground as the primitive was full, so word of advice, book well in advance. Beautiful place love the springs!!"

    Horseback riding events: Watch competitive events at local facilities. Tracy L H. explains about Sawgrass Island Preserve, "And if you have horses the preserve allows riders and even has a spot or two with water for the horses and some picnic areas with hitching post to tie off horse and have some time to eat."

    Fishing and boating: Lakes in the area provide additional recreational options when not riding. Joe R. notes about Lake Louisa State Park, "This is a great location to get away from everything, without going far. It has nice, spread out spots, and plenty of activities if you are outdoorsy."

    What campers like

    Spacious sites for horse trailers: Clarcona Horse Park gets high marks for its accommodation of equestrian needs. Sonya F. reports, "This place is great and the folks there that maintains it are pretty darn awesome. Quiet for sure...frog sounds in abundance...will definitely be going back. Electric and water provided. Has grill and picnic table. Pads are paved."

    Clean bathroom facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained facilities after a day on the trails. Stuart K. says, "The bathrooms and shower facilities are clean and fairly well-maintained. The hosts are incredibly nice and offer pricing by the night, week and month."

    Natural surroundings and wildlife: The peaceful environment appeals to horse campers. At Wekiwa Springs, Holma D. observed, "This is one of the most peaceful and enlightened camps in the state, so many few things to do. i could stay forever but i get hungry and hunting is tough."

    Equestrian-focused amenities: Facilities designed for horses make camping more convenient. Kim S. mentions about Clarcona Horse Park, "This is a simple spot for a couple nights of peaceful sleep. Electric is included in the low price and a bathroom with showers. Friendly staff and well kept park."

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Book early, especially during peak seasons. Zackari S. advises about Wekiwa Springs, "We're staying at the family campground as the primitive was full, so word of advice, book well in advance."

    Seasonal considerations: Hannah S. warns about Wekiwa Springs, "If you go on a weekend, make sure you go EARLY! Line of car starts around 9am and park will close at capacity."

    Limited primitive facilities: Sawgrass Island Preserve offers truly rustic camping. Tracy L H. notes, "There is no water available at any of the campsites. Could be a fun adventure waiting in Old Florida. There is a camping application to fill out on line at www.lcwa.org and a small fee, but if everything checks out ok at the end of the stay after a Ranger has had a chance to check out the site your fee is refunded."

    Access challenges: Some horse camps have difficult access roads. As Diane D. shares about Doe Lake Group Site, "The forest road getting in is very rough and pot holes. But luckily it is a short drive into the camp."

    Tips for camping with families

    Plan water activities: Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake offers family-friendly recreation options. Kelsey G. explains, "This park offers every recreation in the book: boating, fishing, biking, hiking, frisbee golf, wildlife watching (petting farm), jungle gyms, horse boarding, grilling spots, swimming pool. There's something here for everyone."

    Accessibility considerations: Some parks have accommodations for all abilities. About Wekiwa Springs, Lauren W. shares, "Jane, one of the park rangers informed us about the ramp for wheelchairs, and a lift into the water! She was so helpful. She told us when we were ready to leave to leave, go to the concession stand and they will radio her, that she would take me back to our site."

    Weekend crowds: Many campers note higher visitor numbers during weekends. Jenn B. advises, "However, a weekday is best to visit the spring and river. On the weekend there were tons of people in the park."

    Kid-friendly programming: Some campgrounds offer special activities. About Disney's Fort Wilderness, Kathie M. enthuses, "It's the true Disney experience in a campground. It's perfect all the way around. They offer everything!"

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection for large rigs: Horse trailers with living quarters need ample space. At Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, Samantha O. cautions, "We have a 27' rv that is 33' from top to top. Holy moly did it take a lot to get this into our spot. Our neighbor across from us had to move his truck and several neighbors were helping direct us into our spot. Everyone we spoke with complained about the lack of space to get a big rv into these spot."

    Hookup options: Lisa C. notes about Clarcona Horse Park, "Nice sized sites with a cement pad, picnic table, grill and trash can per site. Nice gravel drive for the RV. There are horse events, fun to watch, food truck available for breakfast and lunch day of event."

    Dump station access: Plan for waste management needs. Diane D. suggests, "There is no place to dump but we usually go to big buck lake off of sr 42 And dump on our way home for three dollars."

    Electrical service: Most equestrian campgrounds offer electrical hookups. Alyssa D. confirms about Tram Road Equestrian Campground, "Reserve through state forest. Picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Some sites have small corrals adjacent."
