The first thing we learned at this campground is it is very popular. We were told check in is noon and do not come any sooner as you would be turned away. We pulled into the road leading to the campground around 12:30 and couldn’t believe our eyes, we were behind about 15 campers. When we got to the gate to check in we asked if it always like this and he said no, the park lost electricity the day before and told people coming in to wait til today. They would be checking in around 150 campers and we were number 42. I will have to say even though it was a bit of a wait it went pretty smoothly, they definitely have a great check in system.
It was first come first serve, so they asked what site we wanted or what area, not having been there before we really didn’t know so we just said easy and big!!! We seemed to drive around in circles but finally go to our site. We had no problem getting in, it was fairly level and the sites are actually pretty big. Most of the sites have a pad but some don’t. There are a lot of seasonal sites here but most of those are still campers and not park models, although there are a few. There is also a new section that have huge cement pads and patios. I think if I had to pick one thing bad about this place is getting from your site to the pool or dumpsters. It is like a maze with no way for short cuts!
There are lots of amenities, pools, hot tub, store, tennis, pickle ball, laundry, bath houses and a pond with an alligator! The pool is nice, kept pretty warm for a nice evening swim. The hot tub was too busy to try. Just to give you an idea how big this park is when we ride out bikes up and down the roads either following the one way or going on all the roads we clock 6-7 miles. Again there are good side walks here which allowed us to check out some areas without taking a vehicle.
This is a great campground for visiting all things Disney as they are not far away. There is a lot of other things to do as well, there are quite a few breweries in the area such as Suncreek, Clermont Brewing, Dead Lizard, Crooked Can, and Orlando just to name a few. There are also a lot of nice road to motorcycle on without having to be on the highway. We even took a trip to Daytona for the first day of Bike Week to earn our coin!! Down the street was an Orange Grove with animals and tour through the grove, this was close enough to ride our bicycles to as well as other stores.
