LegendIntercoastal Retreat
A Stopover That Feels More Permanent Than Welcoming
At 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.

Cape Kennedy RV Resort
Old Florida RV Comfort Near I-95
Pulling 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.

Peace
It has a little of everything you would enjoy about this type of outside camp ground. Has hiking and biking trails. Of course the beautiful water that stays 72 degrees all year long.

TravelerOrlando/Kissimmee KOA
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.

GuideCamp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins Auburndale
Fun place
Great little spot. Seemed to rain every 5 minutes where they had to shut everything down but had good contingency plans. Golf carts galore with some sites a little more rowdy than the next, but plenty of room. Kids loved the pools and crafts, adults loved the tiki bars and live music.
Stuart K.LegendSt. Johns River KOA
Waterfront RV Resort Just Outside DeLand
Delivering a blend of riverside charm and campground convenience to the banks of the St. Johns River, St. Johns River KOA in DeLand, FL is a great find for those looking for everything properly arranged for a riverfront encampment with EZ access to the frackish waters. Located just off State Road 44, it's an easy exit from Orlando or Daytona, but once you're settled, it feels like a peaceful riverfront retreat. First impressions? Pull into a shaded site, breathe in the river air and instantly realize you've landed in a camper’s version of lakeside serenity.
This KOA pulls no punches on amenities. You'll find full RV hookups (30 / 50 amp electric, water, sewer), spacious back-in and pull-through sites that fit up to 80' rigs, clean bathhouses, laundry, Wi Fi, a dog park and a center pavilion. At the water’s edge, there's a marina with boat and kayak rentals, a boat ramp and even a restaurant serving riverfront fare and weekend live music. All the staff you come into contact with here are friendly locals and a relaxed yet well-maintained environment that keeps you both entertained and relaxed. The crown jewel of this place? The Tiki Bar that sits atop John’s River Grille on-site at this location comes with just one rule: don’t show up late for the Happy Hour sundowning sessions!
Where this KOA shines is on the water. The St. Johns River is full of life, so expect to see manatees, turtles, great blue herons and even gators. Kayaking or paddling right from the campground is a breeze, and guided tours offer a closer look at local wildlife and quiet stretches of river. And when you want to stretch beyond the river, historic downtown DeLand, De Leon Springs State Park and the Ocala National Forest are all within easy reach.
Insider Tips? Here’s a smattering: (1) River-view pull-through sites are prime real estate for sunrises and quick water access, so book early for the best sites; (2) Kayak or paddle launch right from the boat ramp for ideal for wildlife spotting and scenic calm; (3) Guided river cruises (available on-site) unlock insider encounters with manatees and osprey at low cost; (4) Prefer quiet? Request a site farther from the pool and marina because foot traffic can rise near those areas; (5) Bugs gather at sunset, so bring repellent for riverside evenings; and (6) Nearby dining options include Shady Oak Restaurant (you could walk to from St. Johns River KOA), Gator Bites, Emmy’s Time Out Tavern for an old school supper club menu or Hyder Head Brewery for locally brewed hops and Haggis.
Happy Camping!
Steffen L.GuideLake Louisa State Park Campground
Lake Louisa State Park
Nice state park. Plenty of lakes, but also plenty of gators at this time; hatching season. Wide open space, great roads. Not all sites have sewer hookups, it’s worth finding out which one before booking, if it is important for you. Even glamping tents and cabins are available, cabins are right next to the lake. Swimming area at Lake Louisa has a playground with swings and even a beach/swimming area, but that seems awfully dangerous, given the noises the gators make about 30 feet away. Unfortunately there is not a lot of things to do near the state park if one wants to do anything outside of camping, at least not a lot I could find, maybe you are better at that. Apparently it is very popular with bikers and triathletes, I have seen at least 10 today, using the great roads.

Sun 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.

Guide to Winter Garden
Private cabin accommodations near Winter Garden, Florida offer a convenient middle ground between tent camping and hotel stays. These rentals provide shelter from Florida's frequent afternoon thunderstorms and protection from insects while maintaining proximity to natural areas. Most cabins in this region sit at elevations between 100-170 feet above sea level, with subtropical temperatures that rarely drop below 40°F in winter.
What to do
Springs exploration: Rock Springs Run at Kelly Park Campground offers a natural lazy river experience where visitors can tube down crystal-clear 68°F water. "My only regret is going when a cold front came through. The water was FREEZING! Nonetheless, my partner and I enjoyed ourselves," notes a camper at Kelly Park Campground.
Hiking through pine forests: Lake Louisa State Park features rolling hills unusual for Central Florida with extensive trail systems. "The park holds many trails. We walked a few and were rewarded with peaceful treks. On one such hike, we were able to spot a bobcat in pursuit of dinner, which was a delight to see firsthand," reports a visitor to Lake Louisa State Park Campground.
Kayaking and canoeing: Multiple lakes throughout the region provide paddling opportunities. "We were easily able to roll our Kayaks to Dixie lake from our campsite. We stayed at a site in Dixie loop sites 1-30. Hammond lake was across the road from our campground," explains a Lake Louisa camper.
Wildlife viewing: The area hosts diverse Florida wildlife from sandhill cranes to gopher tortoises. "We saw lots of animals. Everyone was very nice!" mentions a visitor to Wekiwa Springs State Park.
What campers like
Hot showers year-round: Well-maintained bathroom facilities matter in all seasons. "The bath house was very clean and modern, with spacious shower stalls and plenty of hot water," notes a camper at Lake Louisa State Park.
Swimming options beyond pools: Natural water features provide refreshing alternatives. "The springs are one of my favorite day getaways! There are beautiful walking trails, beautiful and refreshing cool springs, kayak rentals for $20. There are also some small caves there for anyone who free dives or snorkels," shares a visitor to Wekiva Falls RV Resort.
Multiple transportation options: Disney's Fort Wilderness offers extensive transit networks. "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," explains a camper at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.
Easy access to conveniences: Many cabin rental areas maintain proximity to stores while feeling remote. "Just up the road from Citrus Showcase if you are looking for oranges and other goodies. A great find - We would love to go back when we can stay longer!" mentions a Lake Louisa visitor.
What you should know
Seasonal crowds impact availability: Many parks reach capacity during peak periods. "If you go on a weekend, make sure you go EARLY! Line of car starts around 9am and park will close at capacity," warns a visitor to Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground.
Weather considerations: Florida's subtropical climate affects comfort levels year-round. "We went along the outside rim in site Mako 7. The sites are large enough and have most have full hook ups. Not many trees for shade, but it is in Florida so that is to be expected," notes a camper at Thousand Trails Orlando.
Varying kitchen setups: Cabin amenities differ dramatically between locations. "Sites all have full hook up, but we had a premium site and it was on a patch of dirt/grass...I would recommend any of the few concrete sites if you can get one," advises a visitor to Sherwood Forest RV Resort.
Noise factors: Proximity to attractions can mean ambient noise. "There is minimal noise from the major road nearby. The lamps look like little Mickey Mouse heads!" shares a visitor to Orlando/Kissimmee KOA.
Tips for camping with families
Pool amenities for kids: Many resorts offer water features beyond swimming pools. "The pool is a nice size pool with a small water slide. There is a splash area in the back for small kids," reports a visitor to Disney's Fort Wilderness.
Playground access: Multiple parks feature child-specific recreation areas. "We had a tent site near the bathhouse. The bath house is very nice and clean. The sites are all pretty much shaded. There are some swings and a cleared area the kids ran around/played chase right in front of the bath house. A short walk leads to a very nice playground with typical park equipment. My kiddos loved that playground," shares a visitor to Kelly Park Campground.
Entertainment options: Several parks program daily activities. "This is probably the largest park we have ever stayed in. We normally go for the smaller quaint parks but we decided to try it out," notes a Thousand Trails Orlando visitor.
Safety considerations: Water features require supervision. "My favorite part was the springs that also had a little 'beach' where my youngest played in the sand after tubing," explains a Kelly Park camper.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: Concrete pads prove valuable during Florida's frequent rains. "The sites are nice for such a large resort campground," notes a visitor to Orlando/Kissimmee KOA.
Utility placement: Some sites have awkward hookup locations. "Water spigot on the wrong end of the site. Nice park gets slammed in the weekends with day use guests. Private gate for campers is a plus. Sites are spread out and wooded," mentions a Kelly Park visitor.
Maneuvering challenges: Some campgrounds have tight spaces. "My 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. We have a 27' rv that is 33' from top to top," explains a Disney's Fort Wilderness camper.
Rental options: For those without RVs, cabin rentals provide similar amenities. "Site was a little small for our tent (14 x 14 foot though). Other than that, campground was great! Had rental bikes and a pool. Bathrooms were nice and clean," shares an Orlando/Kissimmee KOA visitor.
