Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Campground around DisneyWorld Area

We are planning to take another trip to Florida the last week of December through January.    Anyone know of a good extended-stay campground in this area?  We don't need a "resort".....just a nice area to park for a month with full hookups.

I am sure that there are many. I have never needed an extended stay but one of my favorites close to Disney is Tropical Palms. You can call and see if they have a monthly rate during their prime season.

There is a Carefree park down in Lakeland that was very nice we spent a couple of weeks there over Christmass last year. I don't remember the name off the top of my head but they tend to be basic campgrounds / sites.

Melanie, how close to DW? I know of a few places about 40 miles north--in Eustis, One called Southern Palms--there are others around that area, I can't recall the names right now--but family that stayed at So. palms liked it, they both made reservations to go back and seemed to be quite satisfied with the park. A little drive to get to DW but not bad at all.

Melanie,

 

There is a wonderful county owned park (many acres with a large lake) that has a campground within it.  We stayed there and very much loved it.  It is not large and has electricity and water at the sites with a dump station nearby.  There is a frisbee golf course, a large lake, lot's of area to walk and it is only about 8 to 10 miles from Mouse World.

As it is a county park, they are not priced like regular campgrounds.  Go to www.rvparkreviews.com and select Florida, then Orlando.  The first campground that comes up is Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake.

This park is nestled in among housing developments and is safe (gated) and very quiet.  You need to contact them by phone and find out the length of stay.  Quite a number of the sites have electric and water and a dump station is close by.

We loved it and would go back in a heartbeat.

Charles and Ethel

"Near Disney" is expensive. How far out are you willing to go and still consider yourself "near"?

we found one and called today.....$535 for a month long stay with tax and electricity included in this price. It's the PONDEROSA CAMPGROUND in Kissimmee. Anyone know of this one?   We stayed at the KOA in Davenport in March/April this year and it was nice but we were looking for something different. You are right Bill, most of the places around Disney is expensive.

We spent a month at the Floridian. We had full hookups. The cost was very reasonable and the park was a gated one. We were 10 miles from Orlando, 10 miles from Kissimmee and 10 miles from St. Cloud. Perfect location for Disney. The park was clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. Two pools, plenty of biking area, laundry in park and a quickmart next door.
