Huge park with varied sites. Some paved sites are very nice and near amenities. Grass sites to the rear are uneven and crowded especially in winter. Poorly staffed and going through transition in ownership. Has shuttle to Disney. Would stay again if is full. We camped here in a camper.

WARNING -- This is the same resort as TROPICAL PALMS FUN RESORT below. The difference in the names is due to the fact that ENCORE owns Tropical Palms Fun Resort. Someone should (but this is impossible) contact the web site and ask them to merge the reviews on these "two" facilities as they are one in the same. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is in a good location and has a nice pool and snack bar. The cable is very limited (as in only a few channels). The wifi is only available at the pool and office from an outside vendor for an additional fee. The bathrooms are really dated (think old campground not resort). The laundry room is big and clean but the dryers were quarter eaters that took forever to dry a load. This is a large park yet only offers one real swimming pool and one laundry. The sites in the front near the pool are paved while the others are on grass (with lots of ants). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Normally stay in KOA's but gave this a shot after viewing on Google Earth and reading reviews. We were not disappointed. Stayed in a super site near the pool and had a wonderful time. The pool was nice, we saw a bunch of small (3') alligator's in the pond and saw about 10 deer one night in the area by the pond. If you don't have an RV or have friends that don't, the cottages look great and everyone we met liked them. You can walk to Old Town and everything else is close by. But once you are inside the campground, you would never know there was a busy world just outside the entrance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If you're going to Orlando or the amusement parks with kids, this is the place to stay. There's an amusement area within walking distance and Disney and Universal are about a 20 minute drive. This facility is huge, but efficiently and cleanly operated. Expect families with children. Expensive, but so is everything else around this tourist mecca. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has a number of positives and negatives. On the plus side, the park is close to Disney. There is a Camping World nearby, as well as a Target and a Walmart. The pool is large and there are several activities available to guests. On the negative side, the rest rooms were horrible. They were never clean during our week long stay. One stall in the ladies room was roped off with a caution tape the whole time we were there and another did not have a lock on the door. This only left one working stall complete with a lock on the door. The showers were filthy. The bathroom did not have a trash can in it and the outlets were cracked and would not let you plug in a blow dryer. The campground signage is very poor and is it easy to get lost. The campground map we were given was not correct. For example, one laundry area is not even shown on the map. Several washers and dryers were torn up and were not marked which left the user guessing which ones worked and which ones didn't. Site size in the unpaved sites varies greatly. This park has enormous potential as an destination spot for visitors to the Orlando area but it desperately needs cleaning and updating. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The price has gone up recently, but since we had paid in full with our reservation, no mention was made of the increase. This place reminds me of a flat ABC (Branson); that is, very popular (crowded), many activities for everyone, well located, and not an abundance of room. The trick to getting a good spot has always been, show up early, but starting this Sunday (Easter) sites will be assigned when reservations are made. This will take some work at this resort, as there are many, many "super sites" into which we could not fit with our 45' rig with 4 slides. Our impression of the place was that they are going to have their hands full if they don't build another pool. They have turned over about one third of the park to "park models" (at $50,000-$70,000 each), but since very few are occupied now, and the pool was so crowded as to not being able to see any concrete or water when we walked by, I'd say this facility will need some work in the future (not to mention other common facilities). It's clean, neat, and very convenient. A great place to stay if Fort Wilderness is not in your plans or budget. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park was well suited as a base for going to Disney/Universal, but is turning into a high priced trailer park with pink and teal colored mobile homes being sold as vacation homes. This draws folks who have no empathy with RV'ers. I had problems with folks parking their SUV's in the road (RV's couldn't get by) and kids being allowed to run wild on electric scooters. I literally had to stop my rig when leaving to keep from running over one...he never saw me either! I won't be back any time soon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Had reservations since September for a super site. When we arrived we were told all that was available was w/e back in the back of the park with the park models. They told us if people want to stay longer they let them & you get whats left over. Not a good way to run a campground. They could care less, very unfriendly. Has been bought by Encore so that may be the problem. Had stayed before with no problems but Will not stay there again! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park personnel were very friendly and helpful. They ride you around in a golf cart so you can pick your site. A very clean park with all ammenities. Lots of tourism activities right outside the park. Would stay here again! We camped here in a Motor Home. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground overall. Nice alternative to Fort Wilderness since it was full. We were told we could have campfires when we registered, what we were not told was we would have to bring our own firepit, that was kind of disappointing. Also, the kiddie pool is not heated and was freezing, even though the temperature was in the 80's while we were there. The shuttle to Disney was nice, as was being close to Old Town. The WiFi only works near the pool and at the front desk. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park and it seems most Encore parks are only interested in money, not customer service. Problems with our registration and was asked to travel to one of Encore's other parks(miles away). It seems they are over booking. If I would have wanted to stay at one of their other parks, I would have booked my reservation there. The price for one night is almost as much as Disney's RV. park, and it was not as nice or convenient. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We booked a site several months ago and asked if wifi was available at that sites price range (you choose your own site when you get there). We were told we would have wifi but found you had to sit by the pool or be in one of a handful of pull through sites to get it - you then have to pay $15 a week to access it. $15 a week shouldn't be a problem except this "resort" (and all Encore Resorts) add an extra $3 per night to your bill classed as a Resort Amenity Fee which is supposed to cover the cost of all amenities in the resort - whether you want them or not. We decided not to stay for our full 19 days and managed to get a booking over Christmas and New Year at the Sherwood Forest Resort (another Encore park) for $330 less than Tropical Palms. We still have that $3/night fee and still have to pay for wifi, but at least that is at our site and we have still saved hundreds of $$. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had planned for months to come to Orlando to enjoy Epcot Center before moving on to Key West. The service here is excellent, very concerned that they do everything possible to make you comfortable. The Guest Guide takes you in a golf cart to any one of the available sites so that you can choose the one you like best, he then sees that you get situated and hooked-up. I had to leave one day to go to the Cummins Service Shop in Orlando and one tree leaning out over the drive nearly tore off the awning of my rig. Thankfully, I was stopped in time to make an adjustment to my approach and cleared the tree. One of the guests nearby said that this tree had been a problem to several other big rigs in the past. I mentioned this problem I had to the Guest Guide and he said that he did not like that same tree and another limb that should also be removed. Great attitude toward something that really needs attention. The laundry facility is spotless. We would return again!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park personnel were very friendly and helpful. They ride you around in a golf cart so you can pick your site. A very clean park with all ammenities. Lots of tourism activities right outside the park. Would stay here again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The good things about this site are that it's close to Disney and Universal. The full hookup 'super' sites are large but the patio furniture is well past it's best - we couldn't use it as it was split, dirty and just not very nice at all. Water/power and sewage work as expected. The site is busy and therefore noisy - we complained about people having outside TVs on at 11:30pm and security did sort out the problem. Construction is going on to add more chalets to the site which is a bit of an eyesore and everything was a bit 'tired' - for the price I would have expected better. Didn't try out the pool as it was hard to get near it so obviously some people like it. Staff were friendly and helpful. WiFi is a joke so make sure you have your own alternatives. Overall it was useful being close to Disney but it's overpriced for the quality of what they offer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were originally going near the lake until we learned two gators were living there. It was nice with extra things to do and close to DW. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was a lot of fun. Cute park for the kids, clean laundry room - several of the machines did not work. The pool needs a good cleaning. 6 to 8 other guests said they have been visiting this park for at least 15 years and due to the decline in cleanliness they wont be back; however, considering other local options, this is a good place to stay. Its in a good location and is easy to get to. Staff is knowledgable and friendly. They go out of their way to be helpful. We would definately stay here again despite the decline in cleanliness. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed a week at this park in May, 2006. I was attending a conference at a nearby conference center. It was so easy to get to my meetings and my husband had plenty to occupy himself while I was away. The park was centrally located to so many of the recreation and retail areas. We were just down the road from Disney, Old Town and Arabian Nights Dinner Theater. There was a Camping World store and a WalMart close by. I loved our space. I had called ahead and made a reservation for a "Super Site" at the back of the park. When we got there, they drove us around in a golf cart and let us pick out the available sites. At first I was a little disappointed because I was hoping to get a site right on the edge of a small pond they have but we were able to get a nice wide, level, shady site the 3rd row back. Because there were no other campers between us and the first row, it really seemed like we were on the 2nd row. (I really thought getting this site was good for coming in at 6pm on a Saturday night). Even though we were not on the lake there was a little canal just on the other side of the drive from us. Every morning I got up and could look out the window while I cooked breakfast and see cranes, ducks, and ibis in the canal. It was just a short walk to the little pond where we could see fish and two small alligators. The campground was quiet and peaceful. The staff were great. They helped my husband get tickets for SeaWorld and the dinner theater. They printed off directions to get to several places we wanted to go. They were very helpful and when we decided to extend our time, we had no problem and were able to keep our same site. I hope to go there again some day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very nice park, a perfect location and an improving wifi service. It has all of the amenities for all levels of camping. Tent, popups, travel trailers all the way to luxury coaches. We just left after a 10 day stay and felt at home while we were there. Old Town is like stepping back in time to the 50's and 60's and is a very short walk from the park. The supersites could be spaced apart a little better in the front part of the resort, but the sites by the lake looked very impressive. They also have some really nice cabins for rent. Would return again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

You are not assigned a site. It is first come first served. Arrive early if you want a decent site. In the 9 days we stayed there we saw a constant stream of people moving from site to site. They are not honoring Good Sam cards any longer even though they are listed in the 2006 TL directory as a Good Sam park. Seems they are now an Encore park. Sites are not cleaned after people check out. Our site was full of cigrette butts. The pool and the pool deck could use a good cleaning. Not enough washers and dryers in the laundry. Stay away from the grass area in the front of the park as a new construction project is starting across the street. Noise and dirt are a big problem. The "for a fee" internet access is only available in the office or around the pool. Posted rules are not enforced, numerous people with glass containers around the pool. Some sites are being removed for new cottages. Would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great location. Easy access to almost anything you want to do at Disney, Seaworld and International Drive. Old Town is just outside the entrance and is lots of fun for the kids. Our cottage was nice, but in great need of of some TLC due to age. We had stayed there before and will use it again when we go to the area. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

We chose this campground because of its proximity to Walt Disney World and because we could not get into Fort Wilderness. The park was fairly well kept with nice vegetation and the pond was fun to look at but yielded not fish. The interior roads are very narrow and difficult to navigate, the laundry facilities are dirty and many machines are broken. But our biggest complaint was the lack of a WiFi signal at our campsite. When we head home we will stop in Orlando but will not stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. Stayed here for a weekend in November '05. Park was full for a Giant Recreation World Rally that was going on. Was able to walk through and look at some new rigs. Campground is within walking distance to Old Town, which is a Kissimmee Attraction, and they have a Classic car show every Sat night there. Well over one hundred cars to look at. Would definitely go back to campground. Pet friendly We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here based on the reviews on this web site. We were not disapointed at all. We were able to pick our super site amoung several (later in the week the place was filling up fast). We were close to the pool and were able to take advantage of their 24 hour pool. Everything said about this place is true: the over all facilities, the spacing, layout, landscaping, availability of a variety of sites plus easy access to all the central Florida has to offer. The only reason I don't give this facility a 10 was the game room was kind of lame (my kids words) and a number of the machine were not working. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the nicest campground we have stayed in. We were there in June 2004. The landscaping is beautiful. Great location near restaurants and shopping. Old town looks really nice next door, we didn't have time to go there, but it looked nice. Bathrooms were usually clean. My daughter and I encountered one toilet that had feces smeared on front and all over seat, but it was cleaned up quickly. The showers were clean. The game room was somewhat lame. Some of the games didn't work and not much was in there but that wasn't a big deal to us. The swimming pool is beautiful, but be warned, the water has a very salty taste (not sure why). This was very off putting to my two kids. My son didn't really want to swim because of the taste. VERY NICE PLACE to stay and we will stay again on next FLorida trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground with a pool open 24 hours, the bathrooms were clean and adequate, but I've seen nicer and there were occasional plugged toilets. We used this park to visit Universal Studios which was a 10 or 15 minute drive. Disney is real close. We checked out Old Town and weren't real impressed. But for relaxing around the camper after spending the day at the theme park this worked out real well for the three families that traveled together. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice park. Plenty to do after a day at the big parks. Old Town is nextdoor with lots to do. Our standard site was level & under some palms with lots of privacy. Clean, quiet polite campers & staff. We looked at the KOA in Kissimmee, comstruction was going on & around that property & roads. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A well run Campground. Staff is wonderful and helpful. Sites are well kept and give you space. This was my second visit and will stay there again next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park that you would never know was so close to Hwy 192. Close to all the attractions. Would definately stay again. The only drawback was the restrooms and dumpsters are a little far from some of the sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice campground. Loved the pool being open 24 hours. The pool is very large for a campground and they have a nice kiddie pool. Nice poolside cafe. The only thing that would have been better is if it had a shuttle to Disney. They have some very cute cabins to rent and a clubhouse too. Very helpful staff. Will definitely stay there again. The super sites are worth every extra penny with big concrete pads and right next to the pool. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice campground. Excellant location to central Florida attractions. Sites are a little close but slide outs are no issue and sites are level. Old Town is advertised as within walking distance but was about 1/2 mile from my site. The cabins are very nice inside but outside are getting a little frayed around the bottom. One of the best Campgrounds I have camped in. People are very hospitable and check in is very organized and they take you to the sites and let you pick it out. I would most definately go back and would choose a site on the back side near the pond. Nice little camp store with a little bit of everything. Computer hook ups in the office. Nice Campground We camped here in a Motorhome.

For location, you can't ask for better! Very nice campground, very well kept grounds. The only drawback was that we saw was some very muddy sites that were on bare ground. It rained buckets while we were there. However, the supersites were all paved, I would only stay in one of those sites. There were two rows of new sites in the 700 range behind the wonderful little cabins, perfect for RVers who want quiet, but still very close to the pool. While there are no instant hookup phones, there was a great setup in the office for modem use. Next year, we'll stay there again and rent one of the spotless cottages for my mom! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first campground experience, but we were not disappointed. A lot of sites. Reasonable sized sites. Not much landscaping between sites so not too private. Some noise from Old Town attraction/shopping right next door. Nice play set for kids. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is one great campground. It is beautiful and tropical. We drove from Vermont to here and after setting up, jumped into the pool around 8PM. It was dark and the steam came off the pool as our bodies melted. We spent 3 hours or so in the pool and might have slept in if we weren't afraid of drowning. The kids talk as much about this campground as they do about the 3 days at Universal. Try to get a stabbed site next to the pool. If you are unable to, check when you arrive and see if there is any availablity then. Also the people there are friendly. Had lots of great chats with other campers. When we were picking out our site the guy driving us in a golf cart took an extra long time because my 7 YO was enjoying the ride so much. This is in our top 2 campgrounds of all time. We camped here in a camper.

This is one of the top RV parks in Fl. The staff is great and very friendly. The park has a lot of trees, small stream, and small pond to fish in if you wish. Large pool, kids pool, large sand play pen for the kids, and pool side cafe are nice. Large number of guest suites looks like you are some place in the islands, very nice. The price is the same for two people or 50 people per site. Sites are not close together and you have room on each side. Close to Walt Disney World and other atttaction in Orlando. Old town is next door. Very low noise from roads. You can set up your site over the home web page. We camped here in a camper.

This is a great place to stay while visiting the area attractions. It is right across the street from Old Town. The staff are very friendly. This is another place that Encore took over but it hasn't changed the charm of the place. You can even buy breakfast and eat it sitting by the pool. We often stay here with friends and just hang out and relax. We camped here in a camper.

A nice park in the heart of the tourist attractions. Behind Oldtown shopping and amusement center. No shuttle to Disney keeps this from being a 10. We camped here in a camper.

Very pricey. Run of the mill average campground with high prices. The nightly fee is high and they add $2/night for Cable TV and $5/night for wifi. However, if you want a close campground to the Disney World attractions this fits the bill. The staff were friendly and the grounds were clean and well maintained. The security at night could have been better as the rear entrance was not gated nor checked at night. The neighborhood and residents were of the type associated with tourist traps. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park with cement pads and grass. Well maintained large sites but look for fire ants. Staff will spray if there are ants and they try to keep them under control. A big plus to stock up on supplies is the Sam's Wholesale Store across the street. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice poor with very long sites. Nice patio and chimney on the site. Park itself is a little cramped, but about what I expected for Disney area. Cable was a bit out of date, but at least there was cable. Wireless was not free as stated on KOA website, but they were upfront about this at check in. No problems. I would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Superb campground. Staff is incredibly friendly, sites and CG are very well maintained. Laundry room is excellent, pool area w/ hot tub also excellent. One row of spaces does back up to a side street but there is very little traffic if that is a concern ask for a different site, there are plenty of great ones. Overall this is an excellent CG. Great Wifi reception, cable available if you need it and good view of the sky on all spaces for Satellite coverage should you want that. Right in the middle of town, very close to Disney parks, great shopping, food and more. Highly recommended. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed on site 209 with Patio with furniture and a fire pot and wooden swing. Even though they had had rain every day for over a week it was well drained. Although across from a Sams Club it is quiet. Staff was very friendly. The campground is "new" as it used to be on the Sams site. Our pull through was over 150 ft long. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very friendly. Large sites. We had a problem with our awning and one of the staff came with his tool kit to help us. Will return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We are currently at this Kissimmee KOA and I have to say that we are VERY pleased. This campground is immaculate in every detail. We are in one of their "super-sites" and it's lovely. Stone-like patio, iron patio furniture, wood swing, chiminea (with free bag of fire-wood) and picnic table. There are many palm trees...(some just little), along with other lovely tropical plantings throughout the campground. Garbage is picked up all day. The showers are lovely, pool is very nice with hot-tub. We have excellent Wi-Fi signal. The staff is very helpful and friendly. We also have priviledges at the Holiday Inn...pool...facilities etc. The Kissimmee KOA is within 15 easy minutes of Universal and 5 minutes of Disney. Sam's Club, Super Target and other grocery stores are less than a 1 minute drive, along with many restaurants. We're very pleased with this campground and would definitely...and I MEAN definitely return in the future...!!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Staff not very friendly, not greeted when arrived, ignored when walking into the store to register. Nicely manicured for big rigs, very overpriced. Pool and hot tub. City traffic 1 block away, main road to disney. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was very nice. The bathrooms were extremely nice. The sites were very nice with firepits, paved patios and the deluxe sites were very nice with patio furniture, fireplaces, and swings. Excellent location. Some noise from the busy street. Staff was very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is an immaculate KOA very conveniently located to WDW and shopping both on 192 and 535. The staff is incredibly helpful, after driving us to site even offered to help with hookups. WiFi still has a lousy signal, but our external USB WiFi antenna solved that problem. Entrance is very narrow and almost impossible to turn right into without going into the far left lane (we turned around in Sam's parking lot). Turns are tight but negotiable and you are very close to neighbor unless you have the top-of-the-line patio site with patio furniture and chiminea(?). We camped here in a Motorhome.

Location is very good for Disney access. Price is steep at $64/night in mid-April, plus $2.00 for cable. Plus $6 per 12 hours wifi access (only other options are for monthly access rates) with very low signal reception (we were next to the Hotspotzz station we were told. ) This is definitely a updated KOA, roads and sites are paved, occasional patio furniture, but it is a KOA - sites are close together in most cases. If being close to Disney/shopping are your needs, this is OK. We have stayed in worse campgrounds in this area, but the price here seems a bit on the high side for a KOA. The total tab less the KOA discount, plus the taxes was $67.23 for one night. The cost of the wifi via Hotspotzz is really aggravating - most other wifi companies at campgrounds at least give you 24 hours for the price or offer 3 day or 1 week service at reasonable cost. But like everything at any KOA - expect the least for the most. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a extremely well run parked. The staff was very helpful and nice. The park was very clean and in close proxitimy to the major attractions. The main road outside the park was undergoing construction and there was some noise from that, but after a couple of nights, you got used to it. The pool area was very clean and other than a small playground with a basketball goal there wasn't much for the children to do. But hey that's why you got mickey and the gang. Great park and great people. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a KOA company owned and operated park. It is very nice. The only complaint was with the KOA Konnect wireless internet connection. It worked poorly or not at all. The managers were powerless to get it fixed. The staff is all transient so they cannot give good directions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Bautiful campground.. Brand new.. with incredible bathrooms. The bathrooms were furnished just like home. Even have TV in bathroom.They allow camper washing and encourage it. The staff was very friendly and helped us with directions to the attractions of Orlando. Some of the sites come with patio furniture. Large Pull throughs for big rigs. Close to anything you would want to see in Orlando or Kissemee. Only downfall was there is no overflow camper waiting area if you arrive early. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good KOA near Disney World. Only 2 years old, right next to a new Sam's Club. Old KOA was removed and Sam's was built on that site. This KOA is just South of the old site. When we were there it was still being finished but we had no problems and are staying again this month. This campground is right in the thick of things on US192 but just enough off of the road to not bother anyone. It is also very near a Publix supermarket. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sites were very large, however, there were a lot of ant hills to deal with throughout the sites but that is pretty common in central Florida. The WiFi was $5/day but the service was sporadic. The office staff said that the problem was with the provider, they kindly refunded our money. When it was working it was very fast. Nice quiet place for a stopover, not many amenities. There was a good number of long term residents in this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
