Just wondering if anyone can give me any imput about this Park. I think it's in Apopka Fl. We are going down to Orlando in April and looking for a good campground for a reasonable price. We like trees and this one look like it had a few and maybe one or two spots that weren't crowded next to others on both sides.

Here is a link to the park.Weeki Wachee State Park

I've stayed at Wekiwa Springs a couple of times but many years ago. It is, or at least was, a very nice campground. It has a spring area for swimming almost like a pool. The water is cold about 68-70 degrees year round. Plenty of trees.Kelly Park ,a county park, not too far away is also very nice. I prefer that one mainly for the spring run you can ride down on inner tubes or air mattresses. Tubes are available for rent outside the park. It gets really crowded on week ends, as does Wekiwa Springs. The campground is small but nice.

We were in site 56 a few years back. Our site along with one of our friends sites had tree stumps cut off flush with the ground and limestone instead of gravel as a site base. Limestone would make a slime type mud after a rain. Have no idea what happened to the upgrades that have run up against environmental problems since then.
Now other than that, we truly enjoyed ourselves.

We stayed there two months ago for 3 nights during the week. It is a popular place so reservations must be made far in advance for weekend dates. We camped during the week so only half the sites were occupied. Sites 1 -30 now have full hookups including sewer.

This is a nice park with several hiking and bike trails. We were through there a couple of moths with a girl scout troop and saw several bears and deer. It is close to shopping and still away from traffic. It is about an hour from Disney.

Nice park- we were there a couple of years ago in our 37 ft MH. easy access. We rented a canoe and had a nice paddle. while we were walking down to the spring run, there were a bunch of people gathered by a campsite.... there was a small bear in the tree.

If you are interested in a state park near Orlando, try Lake Louisa State Park. Plenty of vegetation at the sites and some are pull throughs and some sites have full hook ups. Price is great too. Located in Clermont, FL.

A very nice park. Big sites. Great place to bike and also to take a wonderful kayak along the river and also into Rock Springs Run. We enjoy the park. Also good golfing nearby.

We enjoyed our stay there a few years ago. Our site was a large, gravel back in site with water and electric. The park has lots of walking trails and is close to shopping and restaurants.

If it's spring break time, it will be booked especially the weekends. Nice park, level gravel sites with lots of trees. A couple of sites you can get satellite but not many.
