Orlando RV Parks & Campgrounds Near Disney World: The Basecamps That Actually WorkThe NW KOA is the budget play. Positioned in Apopka near Lost Lake, it's a KOA Journey — the most basic tier, focused on clean sites and reliable hookups without the resort amenities. If you're using the RV park as a place to sleep and shower between theme park days, and you'd rather put your money into park tickets than campsite fees, this is where you look.
The NW KOA is simpler and quieter than its southern counterpart. Fewer kids' attractions means fewer screaming kids at 7 AM — a trade-off some travelers will appreciate. The pool is adequate. The sites are level. The staff is helpful. Nothing is fancy.
The Apopka location favors Universal and International Drive. Disney is a longer haul, especially during afternoon traffic. If your trip is Universal-heavy, this park's location makes more sense than anything in Kissimmee or Davenport.
Who it's best for: Budget travelers hitting Universal. Solo travelers or couples who don't need resort amenities. Overnighters passing through Central Florida.
