SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
Campgrounds near Kissimmee, Florida primarily consist of established RV parks and resort-style facilities catering to visitors of nearby Orlando attractions. The Orlando/Kissimmee KOA offers concrete pads with full hookups, accommodating both tent campers and RVs with amenities including a swimming pool and family-friendly activities. Other properties like Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and Encore Tropical Palms provide cabin options alongside traditional camping, creating a spectrum of accommodation types within 30 minutes of major theme parks.
Year-round camping is available throughout the Kissimmee area, with all major campgrounds operating in every season due to Florida's mild winter climate. Most properties require advance reservations, particularly during peak tourist seasons coinciding with school holidays and winter months when snowbirds migrate south. Facilities typically provide full hookups with 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections suited for recreational vehicles of all sizes. Several properties offer concrete pads with patios, improving comfort during Florida's frequent afternoon rain showers. A camper noted, "The sites are good size and the bathrooms and showers clean and roomy. Their pool is always crystal clean. Lots of stops and places to eat close by."
Proximity to Orlando's attractions represents the primary appeal for most Kissimmee-area campgrounds, with many situated within 15-20 minutes of Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and other entertainment venues. Despite their suburban settings, several campgrounds maintain natural elements including small fishing ponds, walking paths, and tree cover. Reviews consistently mention the convenient location as a major advantage, with one camper reporting, "Right off 192 and close access to the Florida Turnpike, the park is conveniently located next to a Big Box store & gas station." For those seeking more natural surroundings, state parks like Lake Louisa and Moss Park Campground provide alternatives with improved access to hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and water recreation while remaining within reasonable driving distance to urban attractions.

LegendSun Outdoors Orlando ChampionsGate
Disney Convenience Without the Disney Price Tag
If you're planning a visit to Walt Disney World or any of Orlando's major attractions and prefer staying in your own RV over an expensive hotel room, Sun Outdoors Orlando Champions Gate continues to be one of the more convenient options in the area. Since my original visit, the resort has matured nicely, with its modern facilities, clean grounds and resort-style atmosphere making it an appealing basecamp for exploring Central Florida. And make no mistake about it, while this is very much an RV resort – not a nature campground – this spot succeeds by delivering comfort, convenience and easy access to everything the Orlando area has to offer.
While my review from a few years ago provides a ton of detail, I thought I would follow up that review with a topline of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS along with a smattering of new photos.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Beautifully renovated facilities that still feel modern and well-maintained; (2) Outstanding heated swimming pool, clubhouse and spotless comfort stations remain the centerpiece of the resort; (3) Full-hookup RV sites with concrete pads make setup quick and easy; (4) Exceptional location just minutes from Walt Disney World, ChampionsGate with countless dining, shopping and entertainment options; and (5) Everyday conveniences like Publix, Aldi, CVS and numerous restaurants remain close enough that you can leave the RV parked and run errands with ease.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) The campground still feels more like an RV resort than a traditional campground, with relatively little mature landscaping or natural privacy; (2) Larger fifth wheels and motorhomes may find some sites a bit tighter than expected; (3) Tent campers will likely find the experience less appealing due to the predominance of paved surfaces and surrounding RVs; (4) Depending on your site's location, nearby road traffic can occasionally detract from the otherwise relaxing atmosphere; and (5) If you're seeking a true Florida nature experience, you'll need to venture beyond the campground to nearby lakes, conservation areas or state parks.
Happy Camping!

Busy Park on the Indian River
Some campsites are close but the nice dog park and the location near Kennedy Space Center made me not mind so much. Great place to watch launches. Staff is friendly and park facilities are well looked after. The tent sites are on grass but close enough to the river to get cooling breezes in hotter months.

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Something a bit magical
I know, I know, it’s not real camping. But I love it just the same. I love coming here even if I never step foot inside the theme parks. There plenty to do here. You can rent golf carts or bring your own. I love just driving around on the golf carts. They have campfires and trivia. Outside movies. The Trails End to get food at.
Horse stables. Halloween time is the best time to come. I love looking at everyone’s decorations.

Quiet, spaced out sites, nice dock on the water
The campsite is clean and friendly. The spaces between sites is nice with trees! Great dock on the water to watch dolphins! Nice big dog park too!

TravelerCamp Kennedy RV Resort
It’s very family and pet friendly! Clean!
The only reason I gave it 4 stars was for lack of security. It’s not a gated RV park. Everything else is wonderful. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Love the trees and concrete drive thru spaces! Large spaces for your car and bikes. For the fur babies they have lots of disposable spots with bags for clean up. Nice size pool shaded by the trees in the evening from the West Sun. This is our first stay here and it’s been extremely great and quiet. Much more peaceful than we initially thought.
Ninoshka L.ScoutDisney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Is beautiful but safety is not great.
It has a lot of activities to do with the family. Only thing I don’t like is the restrooms. Had a bad experience. Someone was recording one of my family member in the shower. The other person was standing on a seat and recording when someone goes and shower. Disney couldn’t do anything by the time we notice the person left running from the bathroom units. Did not see a face but just a hand and a iPhone with a flashlight on. Be careful. Don’t go alone to the restrooms. Bathrooms are supposed to be lock at night and need a key card to open , but Disney always have it open. If it was locked Disney could had know who enter the restroom when the incident happened.

Dissapointing
Booked about a week ahead, at that time tgere were 147 sites available. It shows you what is available to pick from. I picked one in the low 400's...I think it was 405, because one on each side was empty. Fast forward to the day before I get an email about virtual check in. However it states I am in the mid 100's....so I call and inquire. At the time of the call there were 109 sites vacant. The girl proceeds to tell me if you dont pay a$50 lock fee. They can move me at their discretion. So I got moved....additionally, got here an hour early and had to pay$25 early check in. 109 empty spots and the pool is like a carnival cruise pool....SLAMMED! Only 2 small comfort stations. No shade to be found. We are here now, and this may well get updated for a vetter rating...or worse, who knows. But it seems like a resort that will nickel and dime you to death. And moving someone who booked, and paid in full is some shady shit...

Pretty campground
Very pretty and clean campground. Bathhouse was clean as well. Loved riding our bikes and walking the trails.

The region sits at just 82 feet above sea level with a subtropical climate producing average summer highs around 92°F and winter lows rarely dipping below 50°F. Rain showers occur frequently in summer afternoons between June and September, creating high humidity conditions campers should prepare for when visiting.
What to do
Water recreation activities: Lake Louisa State Park Campground offers multiple lakes for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing opportunities. A camper noted, "This park has totally awesome park roads for biking, trails for mountain biking and hiking, and equestrian trails. We also enjoyed riding our bikes into Clermont."
Wildlife viewing: Moss Park Campground provides excellent wildlife observation opportunities just 15 minutes from the Orlando airport. "Deer roam happily around and your wake up call in the morning is courtesy of feisty Sandhill Cranes calling back and forth," shares one visitor who enjoyed the natural surroundings.
Theme park access: While staying at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, guests can use transportation services to access Disney attractions. "Buses run very frequently and never had an issue getting a bus to the amenities. We took the bus to the marina area for dinner at the buffet, to watch the fireworks/light show, and to see Cinderella's horses and carriage."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Moss Park Campground maintains well-kept facilities despite its natural setting. "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)," reports a satisfied camper.

What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds in the Kissimmee area require advance booking, especially during peak tourist seasons. "We stayed at site 20. It was great! It's on the corner of the loop, so basically a straight back in. More spaced out from your neighbors than most sights, although all the sights were spaced out well, plenty of privacy," shares a Moss Park visitor.
Parking and transportation options: At Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, navigation can be challenging. "Our only problem with wilderness camping. There is not a lot of room in the loops to pull your rv into the spot. There is plenty of room between your rv and your neighbor next to you but not a lot of room across from your spot," warned one camper who struggled with a larger RV.
Crowding issues: Wekiwa Springs State Park experiences significant visitor traffic. "If you go on a weekend, make sure you go EARLY! Line of car starts around 9am and park will close at capacity," advises a camper about day-use areas.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: Orlando/Kissimmee KOA offers family-friendly swimming options. "Very Friendly staff. Several activities possible for children eg pool, skating jumping etc. Late arrival possible. Good WiFi and laundry facilities and even a gym. Very close to Disney world and to restaurants or supermarkets."
Evening entertainment: Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort provides organized activities for children. "The sing along was fun. Chip and dale walk around to everyone. they ask that you don't leave your spot and they will come to you and really they do. They stopped at every spot to take pictures."
Budget-friendly options: Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake offers affordable camping near attractions. "This campground in located central to major attractions in the Orlando area. The campground is very small and very quiet. It is attached to a park and they have a swimming pool, disk golf, horseback riding and cabins for rent. The price is ridiculously low at about $25/day."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Encore Tropical Palms provides different site types for various needs. "We stayed in the back, so pretty quiet. Our third time here. Kids love the ability to ride their Bikes around the campground and love the pool. Plenty of deer to watch throughout the day."
Park layout navigation: Large campgrounds in the area can be confusing to navigate. "This park is about 2.63 miles all the way around the outer loop. Sometimes the cows from next door get loose and come visit. Sometimes there are alligators underneath RVs," explains a visitor at Thousand Trails Orlando.
Hookup considerations: Different campgrounds offer varying levels of hookups. "Full hook ups, generous yards, decent landscaping. There are some permanent structures, mostly rentals and the cabins. There are some personal sites as well," notes a Thousand Trails Orlando visitor describing the site setups.
