Orlando & Central FL RV camping: what to know
Orlando RV camping means one thing to most people — being close to Walt Disney World and Universal — and the market delivers: Disney's own Fort Wilderness campground on property, plus a ring of resorts in Kissimmee, Clermont and Davenport within a short drive. Central Florida also has springs, lakes and quieter state parks that make good bases when you're not in the parks.

Frequently asked questions
What are the best RV parks in Orlando?
Disney's Fort Wilderness for being on property; Orlando/Kissimmee KOA, Tropical Palms, Sherwood Forest and the Thousand Trails Orlando park for value near the parks; and resort-style options like Camp Margaritaville a bit farther out. Our Orlando guide compares them.
Are there RV parks near Disney World?
Yes. Fort Wilderness is inside Walt Disney World; several private parks in Kissimmee and Lake Buena Vista are roughly 10–30 minutes away by car depending on traffic. Check each park's own distance claim rather than map-straight-line figures.
Can I RV camp near Disney World?
Yes. Fort Wilderness has full-hookup sites in several size classes and opens bookings well over a year ahead. Off-property resorts are easier to book and usually cheaper; the trade-off is Disney transportation access.
Where can I RV camp in Central Florida besides Orlando?
The springs (Wekiwa, Blue Spring, Silver Springs, Rainbow Springs), Lake Louisa State Park near Clermont, and the lakes around Winter Haven and Auburndale. All are within about an hour of the theme parks.
