I haven't been doing this RVing thing very long but I do believe I know what I desire in a
campground and dirt bikes and ATVs are not on my list. For the past 3 days (Nov. 26, 27, 28) we have had to contend with 4 dirt bikes and 2 atv's racing through and around this campground. Tell the Front Desk you say?? We did and the response was..."these kids are children and family of the campground owner and he will not listen to any complaints. In fact we (the cg staff) were instructed not to discuss the situation with the guests nor file any complaints with the owner." The weekend of Nov 15 was a birthday for one of the owners children. For this occasion the owner had both pools closed to all but invited family members. The staff and rangers admit having had many, many complaints but their hands are tied by the owner. The RVers in the site next to ours have been spending the winter at Secret Lake for 5 years and have noticed the camp going down hill a little more each year. Well this current situation was the last straw. As soon as they can find another cg for the winter they will be pulling out. It is a shame too as it is a nice park and located just minutes from Disney World. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

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.

Campground,cabins, pavilions, restaurant, pool, boat rental, airboat rides, fishing, tree shaded sites, and quiet considering near Orlando Airport. Facilities are old but fairly well maintained. Besides Lake Toho bass fishing, the campground has small catch and release pond. Restaurant food is excellent, includes many "local" dishes. Not the campground for everyone, but relaxing and a bit of Old Florida. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The comment in Dec. must be for the wrong campground. Staff was great, sites are extra long and wide with some up to 135 feet long. There are NO full time residents in that park, and it's beautiful and well kept. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for our week out of Thousand Trails and was disappointed with the park. Staff was not friendly, spaces were very short and very unlevel. Our patio was cracked and unlevel. Like most RV parks in Florida there are many full-time residents here in rigs that are old and not street worthy anymore. We probably will not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park. Great people. Excellent customer service. We camped here through the holidays. We had also been here in the summer of 2008 for 6 weeks. The campground was very clean and well maintained. Campfires are allowed. The campground is very quiet. We loved it and will be staying again, whenever our travels bring us to Kissimmee. Definitely a 10. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A good campground well located just off Highway 192, it is well maintained and the facilities are excellent. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the pool and spa are open all year round. For the price they should have free Wi-Fi, that is my only criticism We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice clean open campground, not busy in November when we visited. Pool and spa open 24/7. Friendly staff. Trash pickup at the site every morning. Waffle House, Wendy's and Applebee's within a hundred yards of the entrance. Sam's club across the street. Enter off Seven Dwarf's lane, what more can you ask? About 5 miles to Downtown Disney. Good WiFi, not free, decent cable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We came to the Kissimmee KOA after having problems with poor water service at another campground in Kissimmee. We had no reservation and initially checked at the park to look around. If fantastic personable people are your cup of tea, this RV park is for you. We had a great site, warm, friendly staff who really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We have stayed for years at "the other place". From now on this will be our RV park of choice. Is it perfect? No- none are- there was somewhat slow Wi-Fi (not their fault) and none of the Kissimmee parks have cable TV to talk about. But if you are looking for a personable park with really well maintained sites, you owe it to yourself to stay here. We will be returning here soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice RV park. Had everything I needed, but at $80 I guess it should. It was a little crowded, but you can't blame the park for that. If this park was less expensive I would have been more excited, but at it's price I guess I expect an awful lot. I am probably being cheap... Everything in this area costs an arm and a leg.

We stayed here in 2006 and 2007 and were very disappointed in the rates this year. It is so expensive to travel with fuel costs being so high, we were surprised that the site cost had gone up so much, too. However, the deluxe sites are very nice and included patio furniture, brick patio and chimnea. They are very pet friendly. The rest rooms were very nice and clean with extra touches of decoration, makeup mirror and smooth top vanities and extremely clean showers with plenty of shelves and hooks. Easy access to all roads for all activities and parks. Even though it was close to the road, we had no noise problems. Sites were a little close, but staggered, so our neighbors weren't directly on line with us. I would love to see the park lower the rates a bit and maybe they would be more full. There are other locations in the Orlando area that are just as nice for less money. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very clean rv park with beautiful sites. You are approximately 5 miles from the entrance to Disney World and close to numerous other area attractions. The bathrooms and showers were extremely clean and nice. There are two pet areas, one fenced in the other not. Pool area is really nice with thatched roof sitting areas and large deck with wheelchair access overlooking pool and jacuzzi. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. the store was priced to compete with area stores on rv supplies and snacks. Cable was $2 a night extra. Will stay here again next time in Orlando area for vacation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Just a great park in a great location. It is expensive - ours was a premium site with beautiful table and chairs, chimalea, glider, patio,etc. The staff was very friendly. The standard sites all had concrete pads and patios, and I believe were $50. If you're looking for a great park close to Disneyworld and all Kissimmee has to offer, this is the place.

Park is very well maintained and staff was friendly and helpful. Check in went smoothly and we were escorted to our site. Had a long deluxe site with patio, table and chiminea. At these prices cable and wifi should absolutely be included. Close to 192 with much traffic but noise isn't too bad. Probably wouldn't stay here again only because of the price. Camped four nights in a motorhome. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

There are two sections of this park. We camped in the North section which is new. The sites are large and well kept in the new section. In the older section of the park the sites are much closer together and there are mostly permanent campers. Many of them are not very neat. The water has a sulphur smell, but a good filter will take care of must of it. The Wi-Fi is free now and works well. There are some planned activities which were well attended. Super Wal-Mart and a Grocery store are nearby. Disney is about 30 minuites away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a family operated park. We had our FW in their storage for about a month, and stay there for only one night in a spacious pull through site. The downside is there are many permanent older trailers there, and nothing really for the kids to play. We will store our FW in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had a very spacious site for our big rig. Quiet park with a country setting and natural landscape. As with many winter Florida campgrounds, there are many seasonal residents. Some sites are untidy with older trailers. Disney World is about 35-40 minutes away. Walmart is about one mile away. We had the monthly rate of $610.00 which does not include electricity. Electricity for the month was $60.00. There is a lot of sulphur in the water, which at times, is quite smelly. Very friendly and accommodating staff. 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.

We stayed here because it honors Passport America and we only paid $16/night. The 152 FHU sites is misleading as most of the sites are occupied by long term residents and the rest of the park consists of park models or sticks & bricks houses. The park is older and many of the long term occupants do not maintain their homes. The term "resort" is false. While the site we had is long enough for our 36' 5th wheel, it is narrow and we had a tough time getting in it due to the houses across the street. We'd stay here again if necessary, but only because of the PA discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This old park is pretty sad. Lot of permanent residence with old rigs and trash all around. The staff was nice and friendly. Previous comments stated they had cable TV and this park doesn't and never had. Bathrooms were very old, but reasonably clean. Park is close to Disney World and other attractions, so is convenient in that manner. We parked in the best/largest spot they had with is across from the office. The rig sank in the ruts of sand. We won't be returning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Older park built before slideouts and large rigs. Streets are narrow with tight turns on several streets. RV is on grass/dirt with a concrete patio with a small picnic table. Water pressure fluctuates, voltage was good, did not use cable. There is no breaker box, just a 50 amp receptacle. Lots of returning seasonals staying 3-6 months. Park tow vehicle or toad beside RV on grass, no problem. All streets are one way. Large water treatment pond in center of park but no problem. Outside lighting is good. We stayed 3 weeks but will stay somewhere else if we return to this area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a very quick two night stay. Had difficulty finding availability in Kissimmee so settled on this park. This was an old park with a lot of permanent residents. Not high end at all but it served our purpose. Sites were very close and it was difficult to back our motorhome into its slot but got it done. Internet is available but you have to pay for it. We made use of unsecured users in the park. Probably would not stay here again but only because it is not as new and modern as we like. If you like a more natural setting, would recommend Lake Louisa State Park near Davenport. It's very pretty and only 15-minutes from most of the Disney theme parks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This a park with lots of long term campers. It still looked pretty neat. The place we got was an overflow one and that was on the narrow side. The normal sites aren't that big either. You had to pay for the wifi. We didn't use it and we got free wifi at the little Ice Cafe next to the very near Publix store. The restrooms and showers were clean and well maintained as was the pool. For the price we paid you can stay at a lot nicer campgrounds in the area, Davenport for instance. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As previous reviewers has stated -- they put you right against the fence and you hear traffic ALL night long... even with the A/C going. I would recommend that you don't stay here. I'm surprised that it is a Passport America campground. Most of the spots have permanent structures on them. We stayed here only because it was convenient to our family.

Our rate was based on the in-season weekly rate, a real bargain when you consider the costs of other nearby parks. As previous posters have mentioned, the only real downside to this park is the Florida Turnpike and, as a short term resident, you will be placed in a space right up against the highway. A white noise machine and using the fan or a/c at night kept the noise under control. Light sleepers might consider earplugs. The staff committed a royal muck-up when we had to leave our site for some service work; we returned and they had assigned the site to someone else, despite our paying for a week and advising them that we would be off-site for a day or two. They quickly found us another site and bent over backwards to make up for the error. We found the size of the spaces larger than most parks, with plenty of room to extend slides and park toads. The Wifi costs $6/day, $20/wk, $40/mo, but it does function well. There's a nice rec room, a clean pool and some shuffleboard courts. I'm not giving it a 10 because of the highway and the lack of free wifi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed there under Passport America so price had a lot to do with it. Park was clean and people nice. Not in the best area but we felt safe. Not a far drive to Disney and roads were good. Wi-Fi costs but not bad. The downer is we backed up to the turnpike but it was warm so as long as we ran the a/c we were fine. We would go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an older privately owned Park. It is very clean with lots of green grass. Most sites are grass but they are adding blacktop pads to some. They have a great friendly staff and are willing to help with any problems. The only downsides are the WiFi is not free and there is some road noise from the turnpike. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The only serious negative thing about this park was the noise from the Florida Expressway and that was OK once you became accustomed to it. The park was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the facilities were clean and plentiful. Considering the Passport price this was a very good place to stay. Access to the many tourist attractions and Orlando were easy even if some were a distance away. We will return...... We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is definitely a seasonal park for the most part. They only have 2 pull thrus and the 40ft limit is really stretching it. The sites are so narrow that if your neighbor has a slide you will not be able to open your main awning. We were put in a new site that used to be the storage area and it was awful. Backed up to the Florida Turnpike so very noisy all day long and most of the night. Lot was 80 percent sand and 10 percent limestone. Some grass and lots of fire ants. We were there to visit the attractions only so we were okay but if you like to be outside any this is not the place to be. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were part of a rally, the cement pads were all broken and uneven. The office placed the rally members all over the place with no regard to trying to keep us together. They were not helpful when we complained. We all have big motor homes and many members were placed on sites that were too small. There were lots of open sites available so there was no excuse for their placement of our members. The clubhouse was clean and available for our use. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this resort as Coast to Coast members and it was our first time with a Encore park. We went through our trip point and had reservations . I called them as we left Lazy Days RVresort and they told us that they only save back 5 sites for Coast to Coast . We got there around noon and unhooked our toad and drove around for over a hour looking at the sites they gave us. The park was maybe 1/2 full and had over 250 sites open as it was in the middle of the week. All the sites were by old trailers that were run down and not lived in for years. One was by the dumpster and all were just bad sites.When I asked the front desk they said Coast to Coast picks out those sites.I called Coast to Coast and made a complaint to them . They said they do not pick the sites out and could not understand with their park having 250 sites open that they could not give us a better site .You would think they would gave us a better site since it was our first time with their resorts.My sister and brother in law who are getting ready to retire wanted to look at there little condos they had for sale. But it was 5.00 pm and they did not have time to show them . Are all the Encore parks this rude to us Baby boomers or is this just a bad park in their system. I could see if the park was full or on the weekend getting a crappy site but this was in the middle of the week. In closing it was a nice resort and had nice pools and hot tub and Coast to Coast called us back and said that Encore was sorry for what we went through and was going to call the resort and pick out different sites as it has been years since they have looked at the sites.Thanks for letting me vent. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very large park located in the heart of the tourist part of Orlando. The park has night time restricted access so we never felt unsafe here. You get a choice of shaded or open spots. You park on grass next to a concrete pad. The Wi-Fi works fine. I stayed here under a special T.T. rate. I would stay here again for sure.

RV and permanent sites are mixed together. Sites are in need of new cement pads. Paved roads. Close to shopping and restaurants. The nightly rate is high since we had a Coast to Coast discount and still paid $38 a night. I was told the nightly rate is normally $54 a night. The park has several sites with doggie bags, which is a plus. We stayed 3 days and would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here under a special Thousand Trails rate so I really don't know what the regular rate is. There are a ton of RV places to stay at in the Kissimmee/Clermont area, all conveniently located to all the Disney attractions. This particular resort is older with a lot of old 5th wheels and trailers that will never ever see the highway again. Lots of rust. There are also a lot of newer RVs in the resort too. The staff was nice but the washing machine/dryer setup is not really setup for someone who is going to be there for a short time as they don't take coin, you have to get a card then load it up with money so when you leave you probably will have a card with money still on it ... that I guess you can't use again unless you come back to the resort. It's probably great for the long term residents though. The sites as in most Florida resorts are pretty level. No bugs that I felt bite ... nice and quiet. Big turnouts for shuffleboard. A very nice 18 hole putt-putt course that was maintained very nicely. You are located on US 192 which has a TON of attractions and eaterys up and down the road. You are about eight miles from Disney. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed at this park several times since it is so convenient to Disney. However, this last time the criminal element is hitting the campground. Folks that spend the winter there advised us that several bicycles had been stolen in broad daylight. This park has all the amenities, but needs some park security (in addition to the entry guard at night). We camped here in a Motorhome.

There is a shuffleboard, fitness center, playground, laundry, store, horse shoes, mini-golf and basketball court. There is a nice clubhouse. Convenient to Disney and Sea World. Camping World is four minutes away. Only 50 amp service. Dogs, you can have two, must be under 50 pounds. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The cost is with AAA Auto Discount. This is a nice park with lots of wildlife. Office staff is busy at times with processing the boat rides and tend to be short with customers at times. Some of the long term people at times tend to think they need to tell us short term visitors what to do, which can be irritating. The guys driving the airboats were great. I went with my 16 year old, and he enjoyed it. Nice to be away from the city hub bub. We traveled in a motor home from the Kansas City area and were here for 5 days. We would definitely return.

We stayed at this park for one week in lot number 37 which is a lake-front full-hookup lot. All spots had vertical cement fixtures which contained older electrical hookup panels and water spigots, with sewer hookups mounted in the ground nearby. About 2/3 of the spots were vacant and the remainder were filled with seasonal trailers that appeared to be in storage and rarely used. We only saw 3 other active campers during our stay so it was very private. The best part was the beautiful natural setting. Every spot had lots of mature shade trees with Spanish moss hanging from the branches. Wildlife was visible everywhere including cranes, herons, eagles, hawks, squirrels, turkeys, frogs, and many other critters. Several families of heron visited our site each day often walking right up to us and waiting around for a handout, and making a pleasant sound in the morning to wake us up gently. We loved being in a remote wilderness location but only 10 minutes away from main stores and 25 minutes away from major attractions. We would have given this park a 10 but there was a slight noise problem caused by the airboat tours which are launched daily from the small parking lot which doubles as a tiny lake marina. The boat tours are popular on the weekends so you hear the boats leaving every 30 minutes from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm, and then by appointment from 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm. The boats are pretty loud but further away, so they sound about the same as a lawn tractor cutting the grass next door. The noise is still audible with the windows closed and the AC on but it wasn't too bad and we got used to it after the first day. Thankfully the boat tours were less popular during the week so we did have some quiet peaceful time as well. The laundry room is older but clean and functional with each load costing $1.00 and they keep it locked when the office is closed so you have to finish laundry by 5:30 pm each day. The restroom building looked newer and well lit but we never used it. We enjoyed this park enough that we will return again some day. The boat noise is a drawback but it still beats the noise of crowded parks and lots of kids and traffic at all hours of the night which is a problem at many other parks in this area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped in 45 foot motor home in Site #430. This is a very large park with easy access off I-4 and 192. Our site was in the very back part of the park. This location was quiet with little internal traffic. Vast majority of sites are paved with all interior roads paved. New owners since February. Many improvements and cleanup has been done since. We found all staff to be very friendly and helpful. We were escorted to our site and helped to park. Clubhouse, pool area, and restaurant were neat and clean. We parked with 17 other coaches for our club rally. Catering at the clubhouse was great. Free Wi-Fi was available. It had spotty performance, but was adequate to check email.

We were at Camp World and asked if they could recommend where to stay. They suggested Tropical Palms about a 1 1/2 mile up on US 192. It was a nice surprise! We were in site 409 which had electric and water but no dumping. Before I forget, it was 46 because we were AAA members and Floridian residents. This particular campground is very family oriented and very diversified in the age groups. The trees are a bit low which can make it challenging for the big rigs but it is level with a picnic table. The bathrooms were clean as well as the showers. We would stay here again. We camped here in a motorhome.

Staff were friendly and we were led to our site and offered assistance in backing in and setting up. Being Thousand Trails members we were offered a reciprocal price and placed in the back section which compared to the front sites appeared to be out in the country. Being dog owners we did find that the back section was very pet friendly and the dog walk was easily accessible. The resort is within walking distance to Kissimmee and Old Towne which has an amusement park and on Friday and Saturday nights have Hot Rod Cars shows. The resort was well maintained and we will stay there again in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed at Tropical Palms for several years, often several times a year. This is not the same park we were used to. New ownership means new changes-that doesn't mean good changes. Days of boil water advisories, weekend "entertainment" at the swimming pool that would deafen, annoy, or cause people looking for a relaxing time to leave, and a staff that, while friendly, also gives the impression that they really couldn't care less about the ongoing problems has brought change: all bad. This is a shame- we really liked it there- now we won't return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park very close to Disney but it was virtually empty. Lower rates might fix this problem. We were without water for about 24 hours and communication about the problem wasn't very good. They did refund that day's rate. We had to leave early due to my husband's health and they gave us a refund. Most campgrounds wouldn't and we certainly appreciated it. The sites are a little tight but doable with a big rig. Fun place for kids. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I am unsure of the nightly rate because they kept changing it on us. For many years we have camped at this location and loved this park. This past year they have sold the campground and it is no longer the same. We were very disappointed in the staff's attitude to accommodate guests. They mishandled our reservation, the pool area was messy and had a severe biting bug problem, the park was messy, the front office was always busy with complaining guests, and the cabins were run down and dirty. When inquiring at the front desk about the accommodations they were unwilling to address any of the issues. Many people were leaving and complaining about the treatment and accommodations they received. Our family will no longer stay at this park because new management means no more customer service and the family, friendly atmosphere has vanished. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to go. We had a good time and will return again. Our site was fair. Poorly graded, and we flooded our "stoop" the first night. Stayed wet all week. We paid for a super site, but the big boys with the big motor coaches obviously got the pick of the spots. Ours was to be desired. Wi-Fi was super slow. Other than that, great time, great people.

The park was clean, well maintained and extremely close to Disney. 50 amp sites are paved and level. Laundry clean and large. Pool with very comfortable water. Bathrooms recently remodeled. Only issues we had was that the 50 amp sites are very close together (our neighbors slide out encroached on our site). Our other neighbor's kids were quite loud. The 30 amp sites looked larger but not paved. Also a little pricey but we stayed during Spring Break 2008 and Ft Wilderness was full and this is the closest campground outside Disney. All in all, it is not Fort Wilderness (what is!) but is a nice second choice. If this campground were anywhere else, it would be a regular stop on our travels. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This used to be a first rate park before Encore bought it a few years ago. We used to stay here every year 5 years running. Had not stayed since 2004. Came back this year to find the park models taking over. This is really Encore's business - selling park models and you get that feeling. We stayed a few days and moved to the KOA nearby. At the rate Encore is buying RV parks and converting them to park model parks, RV friendly parks will be harder to find in Florida. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Several weeks ago I made reservations for 2 sites for a Friday and Saturday nights. I specifically ask for 2 sites side by side within a range of 6 sites. I was advised that those sites were available. I was ask to pay $280.24(full payment) to secure the reservations. When we arrived they wanted to put us in 2 sites that were nowhere near each other. A young man pompously advised us that we were just making a reservation for a site, not specific sites. He explained that they take reservations like a hotel and you aren't told what room you will have. I ask why I wasn't told about that part of their policy when I made the reservation. He was so condescending that he didn't represent Tropical Palms well at all. Finally, they did find us 2 sites in the original area that I had requested, but it would be $10.00 more per night per site. That's $80.00 plus 13% tax and a resort fee of $3.00 plus tax for a back in, 30 amp, dirty site. When we arrived at the sites there were beer and soda cans all over the site. Additionally, there were cigarette butts and paper all over the site. I'm disappointed in the way Tropical Palms has chosen to conduct their business and treat customers. We have camped there many times over the years but I don't think we will be returning. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campsite is in a good location, and is near the theme parks and Oldtown center in Kissimmee. The sites are very small and it appears to be more of a residence for elderly campers. We may visit again if planning to visit the Kissimmee area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I have always loved this park and have stayed here many times over the last few years. It is very convenient to Disney and many other attractions. The bath house is clean and the pool is great. The only bad thing I have to say about this park is that the prices have increased a lot over the last couple of years. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were promised a certain site, but when we checked in, the site was already given away. But staff was very pleasant and assisted us in finding a site suitable. No fire rings, you have to bring your own fire pit. Cable TV was not all the great, had to change sites due to no cable TV at the site. Lots were spacious and somewhat shaded. Back area good for travel trailer and tents. Close by to Old Town Park. Park is a little high in price, but would stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

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.

I guess you could describe this place as "take-it-or-leave-it". Staff didn't seem particularly interested in our business. The park has resort amenities, but the actual sites were not well maintained; at least not well enough to justify the price. Cable TV was a joke; our antenna brought in more stations, and clearer stations than the park's alleged cable. Pool (and kiddie pool) was clean and well-maintained, but then kids took it over most of the time so that adults were sidelined; and at night teens were engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior in the pool, so that killed it for us. The park is close to Disney World and does has full hook-ups (not all sites). Noticed that there were a variety of hokum activities for the snowbirds; lots of out of control children running wild (bicycles mostly) throughout the property, crossing campsites (no one teaches RV park etiquette apparently), riding over grass; and plenty of idiot adults parking vehicles on the grass between sites (privileged folks apparently). I guess we'd return if we had to, but it wouldn't be my first choice, still it was better than some parks promoting themselves as resorts. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

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.

I saw online that this resort had some bad reviews, but we tried it anyway. We had a wonderful time. It seems that they were without a general manager for a while so things went downhill, but I can tell you that they are looking up. The bathrooms behind the office are remodeled, and they were remodeling the ones in the pool are too, new fencing around the pool, nice landscaping. Everything was beautiful and clean. No over crowding, no hassles, just fun, friendly and very helpful staff. Our family loved it and we will be back again soon!!!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.

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.

We have been camping at Tropical Palms for over 12 years and we are even an honored guest. We made reservations for my sister's wedding week 6 months in advance. We only book the supersites because over the years we have had problems in other areas. Lake side is very buggy; another area floods if it rains etc. So we booked way ahead of time. When we arrived they had given our supersite to someone else and had overbooked the campground by 8 sites! We were put in the back near nothing and were very disappointed. Plus it took 3 hours to check us in. so I had to have someone come and get my Mom so the other of the bride didn't miss her daughter's bridal shower. As it is, I missed my sister's shower after driving 1100 miles! It used to be privately owned and now Encore has taken over and not doing the best job. The new manager is nice, and has been brought in to straightened it out so we will see. I would check your reservation before arriving! I suggest a supersite! 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.

We stayed here when we went to Disney World. Upon arriving I was really aggravated. We booked a premium site but they did not give us a site number upon booking. So when we got there, there we no more premium sites available. I couldn't understand how we could not get one if that's what we booked 8 months in advance. We were downgraded but refunded the difference. The campground was OK, it had a nice pool.

This park was GREAT! Super friendly staff. We rented a Super Site, which was great. We could not unroll our awning all the way because of trees, but this wasn't a big problem. The facilities were super clean. The roads were paved, and manuverable. Many big rigs there. Watch out for the alligators in the pond. We saw 2 of them. This campground is very close to Disney, and it's a perfect location for attractions. My only real problem was the WiFi. You can not get WiFi unless your sitting at the pool...and even then it's slow, and spotty. You also pay for the WiFi. Aside from that, I highly recommend this place.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
