Lake Louisa State Park

Lake Louisa State Park surprised us with its stunning natural beauty. Join us on a video tour of Lake Louisa State Park and Campground and see for yourself; video uploaded here on Campendium for your immediate reference. Located just 22 miles from Walt Disney World and Magic Kingdom, the Lake Louisa Campground is a great RV camping destination. Verizon cellular service clocked in at 49.7 Mbps download speed and 3.57 Mbps upload speed. AT&T cellular service clocked in at 38.2 Mbps download speed and 1.30 Mbps upload speed. T-Mobile cellular service clocked in at 23.2 Mbps download speed and 0.94 Mbps upload speed.

Access was via four lane divided highway from I 4. Interior roads are wide and clear of low hanging branches. The campground is about a three mile ride from the ranger station/ check in. There are three camping loops with back in a pull thru sites. Most are W&E only, there are a few FHU besides camp host sites. Our first site (6) is a back in, very private with foliage on both sides. Easy to back in with good location on the utilities. We moved to site 47. Another back in, easy to access too. Both sites were cleaned, raked and level. We didn’t hear any road noise at 6 but could hear noise from SR 27 at site 47. Our favorite aspect is the wide variety of activities. Boat, bikes and horse trail rides are available along with miles of hiking
One aspect that needs improvement is the dump station. There are two lanes which is great however the far lane has overhanging branches that brush the roof and sides. I’ll plan to use the nearer lane next time. It looked free of overhanging branches.
FYI, a few pull thru sites have utilities between the site and the road. This requires entry from the opposite direction. (Go left at keep right sign).

Nice campground with lots to do. You can rent bikes, kayaks, paddle boards or even do a guided ride on horses. Has a camp store where you can get little items and firewood. Most of the sites were spacious with plenty a room between sites. Only a few sites very close to the bathrooms have sewer hook up but all sites have 30 and 50 amp connections. Surprisingly close to town but you can’t tell it from the campsites.

I stayed here for a few nights to do a test run with my new Aistream before heading north. I’ll be working from the road, so I depend on Wi-Fi. I didn’t have any issues here and both Verizon and AT&T worked great. The site I was at had water and electric hookups. It was a gravel pull-through, and not quite level, but I didn’t mind. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The campsites are located between two lakes and you can watch the sun rise over one and set over the other. I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it—though I don’t know I’d stay in August without AC. It was HOT.

To be clear, this review is from our stay March 4th, 2020

We stayed for 1 night on our way out of the Orlando area.

Beautiful park, lots of nicely paved roads to bike on. The campground itself was set up nicely, our site was spacious and level. The little store sells some essentials and firewood, but we only bought some frozen popsicles. Bathrooms clean and maintained.

We biked a bit, and enjoyed listening to the birds. We also got to see a small gator in one of the lakes! We slept at night with the windows open and it was a great night’s stay after the hustle and bustle of Orlando.

Loved it here. Both sites we occupied were 30A/50A & H20 only. We made use of the very accessible dump station when moving between sites.

Very few sites here have a view of a lake/water (30, 29, 27, 25 do), but most sites are decently separated from the next with some privacy provided by shrubbery. Some highway noise can be heard; while you have to drive 3 miles once you enter the park to get to the campground, the access road swings you back out towards the highway.

There are two 'Glamping' tents available for reservation near the campground which were cute from the outside. Cabins are down the road and across the lake.

Bathrooms were clean and featured hot water with good pressure. A few laundry machines are available (credit card swipe too!). There is a camp store with light snacks and necessities, as well as canoe, kayak and bike rentals.

Camp hosts were super friendly.

Great trails and roads for running. Lots of road bikers using the park to group ride. Alligators hanging out in the lakes near the campground.

Lots of trails, like most Florida lakes, fishing is from piers and docks. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent though. Campground is very nice. Level sites. It is about a 3 mile drive from the gate. Star gazing is really good on a clear night. The booms you hear after dusk are not night bombing training. It’s Disney World’s nightly fireworks. Lasts maybe 30 minutes. Not really a bother. Some nice hills for Florida. We had 2-3 bars of Verizon 4g. Would come back again.
