Nasty showers- peeling paint, moldy plastic curtains, filthy. Restrooms were the same. Pool is basically unusable because almost the entire Orando population uses it (this is a City park). That is, Packed. Frissbee golf course is neat (as long as you have plenty of bug-spray). Our site was near the dumping station- foul odor occasionally wafted our way. When we arrived, I spent ten minutes picking up garbage that looked like it have been sitting on our site for several days, at least. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice Public campground. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay at the park. Very quite and peaceful except for nightly fireworks at nearby Universal studios. Site #14 was level and fairly long; however, it was a water/electric site only. Our 31 foot 5th wheel and tow truck fit nicely. The park is convient to Universal Studios and about 12 miles from Disney World. Downtown Orlando is about 7 miles. 14 day maximum stay. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A hidden gem, and a top value. Only $15 E/W and 4 miles to Universal. Only drawback was the fact that the sites were not level. Not a big enough drawback to prevent us from staying there again. We arrived without reservations. Attendant on duty til 5pm. After 5 the gate is locked with a padlock. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a little gem in the middle of Orlando, just minutes from Universal Studios. Some sites are more level than others, some turns are tight. Just take it slow and easy. Lovely sites, trees, some bearing fruit. Nice bathhouse, and a lovely little laundry room with clean working machines. Not much traffic in the campground, it's a bit of a drive from the main entrance, but it's a lovely drive. Our GPS seemed to think that we needed to make a U-turn, but there's now a traffic light at the entrance, so it's not necessary. Quiet at night, and had a lot of people staying there for extended times. We will return, but make reservations early, it's a small park, and a great value! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 10 days while we were visiting Universal Studios theme parks. The campground is only five minutes away from the park!! We were very pleased with the campground and for the price you could not ask for anything better! We really enjoyed the bike path, the orange trees, the lake, the children's farm and the disc golf course! The park is very close shopping, dining and just about anything else that you would need while still in a very natural setting. The bathrooms were clean but old (could use a new paint job). The only downside of this campsite for our family was that they do not allow a camp fire. (It was hard for us to camp for 10 days and not have s'mores!!) We will definately stay here again! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

A natural setting in a nice upscale Orlando location. Easy access to downtown, attractions, and major highways. We had an electric/water only site with a nice level pad. Very tight maneuvering. I did appreciate having 24hr access in a public park but the combo lock on the gate was kinda of a pain - but for the price, this is sure worth a try. Friendly, watchful, helpful staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Turkey Lake Park was great. This place is like a 300 acre quiet spot in the middle of Orlando. You truly feel like your miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The amenities are excellent for the kids and the parks and pool are huge. The campsites are pretty good but noticed a lot of sites with dirt right were you would normal sit outside your camper (outdoor carpet recommended). The bathrooms and showers were in pretty good shape and the overall appearance and feel of the place would definitely bring us back. Not too bad getting reservations in the off season. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed in one of the full hookup sites(#1-9, 11, 18-21). All others are water electric only (20,30,50 amps) only. All sites have concrete pad only under RV. Sites are not level though. In some cases you will need to bring a step stool because the distance between the ground and the steps can be 18 inches or more. All sites have a picnic table and trash cans are nearby. Park personnel empty the cans at least 6 times a day. There are no grills at sites so you must bring your own - charcoal only though. Bathhouses are old but very clean. There is on site laundry. There are some tight turns to get to the sites but we made it in both a 35 ft 5er and a 35 ft MH. Most sites are in the shade. The park has bike trails, nature trail, children's farm (not petting farm), swimming pool, lake for fishing, ballfield, disc golf, large playground in picnic area. There is no store, but stores are very close by. Park is next to Fl turnpike but road noise was not a problem for us. The picnic area was very busy and noisy, but the campground both times we were there was very quiet. You must call the office to get your reservation nothing on line yet. They do have monthly fees for people who stay in the area for the season. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a find!! I was thrilled to discover this park. We have annual passes to Universal Studios so we needed to find a place close -- I would say at most it was a 10 minute drive from the campground to Universal's parking lot! And that's through Orlando traffic... This park is nice. It's one of those where you're driving along through businesses and neighborhoods thinking that there is no way there would be a park/campground and then all of a sudden there it is! There is a disc golf course that I found unique, a children's zoo (didn't go in), a nice pool, boat rentals, trails and bike paths. And there seemed to be a lot of locals utilizing the park which is nice to see. The only 'con' was the sites are horribly unlevel. We made it work though and had read other reviews so were ready for that. We just added a step stool so we could easily get to the first step. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a City of Orlando park. Paved roads and paved sites. Most sites are significantly unlevel; many motorhomes had their front wheels off the ground; some RVs had a stool to be able to reach their lowest entry step. It's not easy to access the campground at dark because the park's gate is locked dusk to dawn with a combination padlock; campers are given the lock code. About one third of the sites have sewer connections; most are only water and electric. There is a dump station, but large RVs using it can block the only exit road to the campground. The park is adjacent to the Florida Turnpike so traffic noise is always in the background, although it's not too loud since the campground is about 1/2 mile across Turkey Lake from the Turnpike. Exiting the park to go southbound on Hiawassee Road is difficult because there is no traffic light and this is a busy four-lane urban road. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This KOA is a nice alternative to the closer to Disney, but much more expensive, other parks. Disney attractions are about 25 minutes away. There are nearby grocery and drug stores. Good access and campground roads. The staff and other campers were very friendly and helpful. As other reviewers have said, some of the sites are close together, but there are others that do give you plenty of room, especially if you're on one of the ends. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will come back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not a bad campground, but to visit Orlando attractions it is way out of the way. The sites are too close together. The sites have one unit facing one way, and the next one facing the other way. This way your coach doors are facing each other and so close you can't put out your awning. I could reach out my window and tap on my neighbors window. I would probably stay at another KOA in the area that has more room between sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground was great for kids. Between the pool, playground, and game room, plenty to do. Nice amount of space for rv's. Staff was friendly, and everything seemed to be clean. One problem, the shuttle bus. Getting to Disney was not bad. Getting back to the campground was terrible. It took over 2 hours. The campground is the last stop, and the bus just ran up and down the strip before we got dropped off. Great place to stay, just drive yourself to attractions. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed at this campground Thanksgiving weekend 2005 and came back for 2006 for four nights. There were five campers and 12 people in our group. The brochures show the pool is heated but everyone we asked (all 5 five people that were leaving the pool) if it was heated and they said not very much. We stayed in the third row from the front and the year before we have pictures of grass being there. This year there was little grass, mostly dirt. Also the year before the center area was a tenting area and mostly empty. This year about 200 people had pitched tents back there and contributed to the park bathrooms being almost trashed and overflowed two large dumpsters. There was problems with the wireless internet. Being in the third row I could not get a signal in the camper. I took a laptop to the office and got a strong signal. One of the staff said they had just upgraded the systems and which signal to use. I carried the laptop to the first row and it worked, second row, no signal. I met five other people using laptops that also could not use them at their campsites. Big deal, free wireless. Our group does not plan on coming back next year. It was entertaining when a person in a 40' rental coach opened his slideout and broke the water pipe connection causing an old faithful up into the rv. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was filthy. We planned to camp here for 30 nights or more and left after 1 night. The sites have no shade, the laundry room and shower facilities were run down and dirty. There were long term trailers that were broken down and rusted. Certainly not a place I would take my kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This KOA has a very deceiving website. They claim there is cable tv but when we got there, the owners told us the lines were ripped out. They claim they are a self-contained resort. That is a laugh. There is nothing at this campsite. Their website also shows photos of horseback riding-there is no such thing available. When we got there, the grass was about 6" high. Sites were very sandy. In the morning when you walk to the bathrooms, which were never cleaned, you get wet from the tall grass & drag sand back into your camper. I purposely left a large paper towel on the bathroom counter to check if they'd clean it up. It was there the total 4 days we camped. The tall grass was never mowed while we were there. There were no activities director as they claimed on their website or ice cream socials, bingo, cookouts, potlucks. I complained to the owners that we chose this campground based on their claimed amenities. They just shrugged their shoulders and smiled. On top of all the sand, we ended up with a huge ant problem in our camper. they were everywhere. Other campers complained of the same thing. We do not recommend this campsite.
