Thousand Trails Orlando

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.  

There are multiple sections here each with a completely different feel.  D section is old-school, Florida State Park-like camping.  You have that romantic, southern charm and foliage.  It's tight for big rigs, lacks internet and getting your Starlink out there can be a challenge.  T-Mobile and AT&T work great out there but, it depends on what you need.  The new section is immaculate with large grass sites, nice pads and easy back-in sites for even the biggest fifth-wheels.  This is the best place if you have a need to work from your camper.  If, like us, you like to work from a tent, you cannot put anything on that beautiful grass campsite.  This is why we stay in the older section.  It's run-down, crumbling concrete pads that need to be repoured, decent sized sites AND you can use the grass.

This is our third time here and we will keep coming back due to community and locality.  Not far from Disney though traffic makes it harder to get to the other parks.  Wawa and Publix are just outside the gate for your coffee and grocery needs.  

Get here at noon ON THE DOT if you want a new site.  D section I recommend 35 feet or under, and enjoy the parade on Saturdays and Sunday as 40-100 new rigs come in.  

STAY AWAY FROM THE SITES NEXT TO THE SEWER ACCESS, THEY STINK!

I stayed here for 4 days and loved it! It was first come first serve, so I stayed in the newer area, which was very nice. It had a concrete pad, water, electrical and sewer hookup. The area I was in was well maintained. They also have a rec center, fitness building, swimming pools, mini golf and more! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The only thing I had an issue with was their internet(Jabba) that seemed to go in and out a lot when I was working but everything else was great. For 4 nights with taxes and fees, the total came out to about $235.

Even for the Floridians They have activities during the summer

Lots of amenities! Everything is very clean and well kept. Lots of food attractions close by.

Large sites, all of the amenities you would want including 10 pickleball courts and a convenient location.

First come first served basis. Pads are broken and messy. They charge for receiving mail, $5 per package. I won’t stay here again

Nice spot I’m a thousand trails member so it don’t cost stay it has planned activity’s swimming pool Mini golf tennis horse shoes

Orlando RV resort Thousand Trails is a huge resort. Lots of fun things to do. 2 pools, shuffle board,pickle ball courts mini golf. Nice spacious sites. Food trucks are a bonus. Ok now the cons….Fire ants galore. Slow internet with the exception of in the weee hours of the morning when everyone is sleeping. I have Verizon and Visible. Maybe others are faster. Laundry rooms need update $6 a load from start to finish. Old equipment. A towels came out with grease on it??? I would still come back.

Didn’t meet much of the staff but those we did encounter were pleasant and friendly. There’s a lot of parking and the roads can be fairly confusing. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back in a few weeks!

Nice compground, relatively quiet, great locations!!! Staff is kind and professional. Full hookup sites, spots are very bigs and concrete roads, have a picnic table. The style ameneties are resort. Great pool, recreational center, store, restaurante, lounge and fishing pier. Access is restricted at night. We had such a wonderful time here, for sure we will stay again-recommend

This is 1000 trails campground which I’m a member of so my stay was free was quiet clean pool was open except for when there was lightning around my site had 50/30/20 electric, water and sewer.

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. 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. We were fortunate to have a couple of grassy areas around close to walk the dog. There is a dog park but it was on the other end of the campground. We did go one day and the park is nice. It’s sand and has poop bags. But no water for drinking so take your own. This side of the park had more trees and was nice for walking around with the dog. No WiFi in the area closest to the dog park. Sites seemed mostly level but only the new section has nice concrete pads. The older sections are hit and miss as to what the site looks like. All in all it’s a great location for visiting all the local attractions... (but we didn’t do that).

The Orlando RV Resort(Thousand Trails) has over 1000 sites thanks to their newest section opening November 2020. To make reservations call 800-388-7788(TT members) or 888-481-6348(Non-members). This resort is impeccable with newly updated bath houses, laundry facilities, 2 pools, playground, camp store, mail room, pickle ball and tennis courts, new basketball court and dock to launch kayaks, boats or fish from. The resort sits off the main road far enough that it’s peaceful during the day and quiet at night. It’s only 30 minutes from most of the Orlando theme parks and shopping/restaurants are within 5-10 minutes. This park is fun to bike through and chat with neighbors, everyone we encountered was friendly. The older sites could use some resurfacing (as seen in photo).

The campground is close to Disney World and has very nice amenities.Sites are nice for such a large resort campground.

We enjoy this park a lot because it has so much to offer in the park, nearby, and we often see our friends here each winter. They have approximately 850 sites depending on the tortoises (sometimes they get a whole spot if their best is there). They are adding about 180 sites on the south side of the park. Full hook ups, generous yards, decent landscaping. There are some permanent structures, mostly rentals and the cabins. There are some personal sites as well. The 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.

With so many guests they also have a gate guard shack thing and lots of staff members. They have dark green polos ride around on golf carts. They are super friendly. Most of them are RVers at the park as well.

They have many sections. A- Lots of pull throughs B- Giant Field where the kids play C-Not sure where this section is... 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. H- Residents of the park and some staff I- Residents and long term guests.

Getaway Cabins- they are adorable from the outside, they look massive compared to an RV.

Cell signals: This park is in Clermont, FL and it’s not a huge town but decent sized town. 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. This park does have some kind of DSL for long term contracts. They have WiFi for a few throughout the park, and in the Club House they have better WiFi.

They have: 2 Pools 1 Hot Tub Mini Golf Tennis Courts Pickle Ball Courts Shuffle Board Club House Mail Room Camp Store A small Lake with Kayak rental Alligators Sand Hill Cranes Tortoises A Garden Basketball Kids play room and play area Arcade Gym Several pretty ponds and a giant lagoon

Most of all we come here repeatedly because we love to see our friends and being a member we can all stay for free.

We recorded several videos about Thousand Trails Orlando:

We did not have time to check out amedities due to visiting friends. The park is big but your close to others. The lake is nice and peaceful, with areas to sit and watch wildlife and also a dock to walk out on. Very quiet at night concidering it's close to a major highway.

Visiting with friends who have been in and out for a few months now. Grounds are nice . Sites are close together. In a few rows, you share the yard patch with another camper, and the pie is small. The web site shows the park map for a better understanding Not one I would come back too at such a high point in RV travel. Will do in a pinch, or when visiting Disnel World. Been here three days and still haven't been able to view all the camping availible in the area. But I'll bet I can find better elsewhere.

Very nice place, close to everything. They had a pool, shuffle board and tennis courts. Nice level sites with water, sewer and 50 amp.

Close to the theme parks, shopping and such but far enough to enjoy down time. Facilities are well kept and staff are friendly. Two large pools, kiddie pool, hot tub, and other amenities. Pet friendly. Able to see the theme park fireworks down at the lake.

Close in quiet and friendly Nice facilities and pool

Close to the theme parks lots to do in the campground nice pool nice sites
