- Parrothead_MikeExplorerNot far north of Mt. Dora is Umatilla and Olde Mill Stream RV Park. I'd guess it's about 10 +/- miles from Mt. Dora. We stayed there 3 nights last winter and thought it was a nice park. See the link below.

- s_N_sExplorerYou might want to check out Emerald Pointe RV Resort in Zephyrhills, FL. It is an owner owned park and a beautiful place. This is our 3rd season here and we love it.

Going to Mt Dora FL, can anyone reccommend a state campground in Mt. Dora ?
Mt. Dora is very nice, but there won't be any state parks there. Closes will be east of Ocala. If you're going to rent from a private park instead keep an eye on the lot widths, some of them run pretty tight in that area. - samandbertaExplorerGoing to Mt Dora FL, can anyone reccommend a state campground in Mt. Dora ?

If it were me, with the specials both are running I would go for Williston Crossing (more resort atmosphere).
We are looking at purchasing a Park model in Williston Crossing.
Is that a 55+ community? Never mind. I found it looking thru the rules. It is not. - motorcycle_jackExplorer IIWe are currently in Grand Lake (Sun Resort in Citra, Fl). If you like golfing this resort is for you. Some other activities like shuffle board and tennis. Twenty miles to any big city with Walmart, etc. (Ocala and Gainesville).
We visited Williston Crossing today. A lot of activity going on to open new sections - Rv's, purchased sites (both RV & Park models). A very nice new clubhouse, pool and paving on roads. It is 17 miles to Gainesville and 25 to Ocala. If it were me, with the specials both are running I would go for Williston Crossing (more resort atmosphere).

- MPI_MallardExplorerTry Deer Creek Rv and Golf Resort clicky Was just there yesterday and they still have sites with pad and cable for $650 a month,nice resort,fair golf course well maintained pools,everything very close,all and all well worth what there asking,basically in the middle of Florida so you get both coasts and that friggin' mouse and leggo-land are just down the road. if ya' go ask for "Ranger Bill" and tell him Canada say's hello!!!
- TripalotExplorerYou might want to check the Sun Rv Resorts website. They have some deals for first timers at their various resorts. There could be some restrictions but it is worth a look. I saw ads for $89/week, $189 for a month + they charge $3/day resort fee - whatever that is I don't know.
Williston Crossing is a nice park located in Williston. They have a $99/wk special for first timers.
