red...Susan 37 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I am considering staying in Orlando a few extra days after our Fort trip December 7- December 16. I can't get additional days at the Fort so I am considering moving to another campground close to Disney. I would stay from December 16 - December 20. Does anyone know of a place they would consider safe to do this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I can't give any advice on the place, but go for it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 The KOA, Lake Magic, Outdoor Resorts, Theme World is where Curt Stays, Sherwood Forest. They are all places where FIENDS have stayed or are staying. We'll be at Lake Magic for Dec and Devores is there full time. Most are about 20 min from the FORT.

ependydad...Doug 176 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 We stayed at both Lake Magic and Thousand Trails Orlando (about 2 or 3 miles from each other) this past June. We'll be at Thousand Trails in a couple of weeks for a few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 A little far away, but cheap is Lake Louisa State Park in Clermont, north on Rt 27 (from the intersection with 192). Nice campground with water and electric hookup and a dump station. I just checked and there is availability but the few full hookup sites are reserved. We've stayed there and it is a nice campground. RESERVATIONS HERE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Not to sound like a jerk, but are there campgrounds near Disney that are more family friendly vs. senior friendly? Most private campgrounds in FL are home to many snowbirds and I just don't want to camp next to someone who has 2 or 3 Rubbermaid sheds and turned the front of their 5er into a shed as well. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just don't prefer to camp in those type of parks. Any suggestions? I'm starting to get mad at the mouse about reservations and would like to have some alternatives Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 You have the KOA on 192, actually 7 Dwarfs Lane, but by the nature of the beast you're going to find seasonals at just about every CG in the area, The State Parks will probably by the exception such as Lake Louisa as djsamuel mentioned. When we checked out Lake Magic in Oct we didn't see any utility buildings, of course we really weren't looking for them and in fact the park was less than 50% occupied. Hopefully Dave Devores, or Curt (he's at Theme World) will chime in since the are both full timing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuc71 162 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks. Don't mind seasonals at all, just don't want to camp in a 65 and older park with 2 kids under 10. I judge way too many shuffle board tournaments in my line of work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I've taken my kids to TT Orlando in December before. There is some of what you mention, but not enough to be bothersome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michelb 3 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 We've gone to Lake Magic, Tropical Palms and Outdoor Resorts in the area. My favority is Outdoor Resorts but as far as kid friendly (or at least, likelyhood of there being other kids there). My choice would be Lake Magic (actually we'll probably be there with our kids around the dates you said unless we can find a spot at FW). Tropical Palms is kid friendly as well but we prefer Lake Magic (not sure why actually so maybe Tropical Palms is okay!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
