Rating: 8 2 5 5 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Park is clean but has very tight roads in spots. Mostly seasonal or year-round rigs. Adjoins a full time park and has joint activities. Most sites are treed. We had no problem with the turns or roads. - dalenoel
No welcoming personnel after five, no camp host, You're on your own. A box at reception outdoor contains your site number no other information about wifi or services, niet! The whole campground is rundown, with what seems like permanent resident in old mobile homes and old run down dirty units. Loud motorcycles, strong stench from dog poop. WiFi very poor, I am using my own. Narrow spot on grass, not level at all. I sure do not understand the attraction in this campground, the worst I have experienced in my year on the road. Lesson learned, do not let others make choices on my behalf. - Sire

Lots of full timers with old run down dirty units with lots of clutter around and under units. Lots were full of pine cones, needles and leaves. Very tight roads and sites for large long rigs although I was lucky to get a roomy one(rare) for my 45' MH. Large number of noisey inconsiderate motorcycles coming and going constantly. One small garbage dumpster always full. Good location, good rates, stayed a month but would not return. - Jimbo1973

Rating: 5 8 7 8 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The campground recently changed owners and is now called the Luna Sands Resort. The campground is now owned by Travel Resorts of America. Campgrounds are increasingly changing their names to "resorts" in hopes of attracting a more upscale and higher paying clientele. Luna Sands is a great example of this trend. The campground appears to have been a KOA at one time (the KOA logo is still on the bottom of the pool), then became the Clark Family Campground, and is now Luna Sands Resort. There is nothing resort-like about this campground. We've stayed in RV resorts that are more closely aligned with the resort description...paved roads, paved or hard-packed gravel sites that are level, well-maintained buildings and grounds, evidence of recent and continuous improvements and infrastructure investments. Luna Sands is none of these. It's an old campground that hasn't seen much investment in the infrastructure or grounds in quite some time. There are fallen trees from Hurricane Irma that have not been cleaned up. There are derelict trailers and motor homes sitting on sites in the seasonal/permanent tenant areas. The bottom of the pool is dirty, showing footprints where people have previously walked. The roads and sites are mostly sand, not gravel. The concrete patios are old and crumbling. The roads are narrow with trees very close to the shoulders. There is quite a bit of road noise and aircraft noise that is noticeable during the day...things quieted down at night. The campground is very dark at night, requiring a lot of concentration when driving on the roads after dark. $50/night for a FHU site is pricey considering the state of the place...$25-30 would be a more reasonable price. The nearby state parks offer more value for the price if you can get a site (they were full when we booked our reservation). - Flamingo_Road_Trip
Very nice people. Needed a place to stay before I went to Disney, and I called after hours. The owner told me to come on and told me where to park. I have a 31 footer with jeep being flat towed. Site would have been level except I didn't want to unhook. Clean restrooms and owners even woke up early so that we could get an early start. - Tomwillis
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Luna Sands Resort (formerly Clark Family Campground) »Quiet, family owned park with plenty of shade. Interior roads are narrow with tight turns and low hanging tree limbs. The park is a maze of roadways with some roads as sites and some sites as roads. Be sure to get an escort to your site. Hosts are friendly and accommodating . Utilities are in good working order but are in inconvenient locations. They have a restaurant on location for daily breakfasts that was decent. The pool was nice but needs to be cleaned. Bathrooms were old but clean. The park is not big rig friendly or multiple slide friendly. The park has a lot of potential. We would come here again. - Mamaluca

Rating: 8 9 9 9 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Another nice Florida state park. It is interesting to see the manatees and other wildlife. The park is very popular and can reach maximum capacity in the day-use area. There can be back-ups at the entrance station but they allow campers with reservations to shortcut the line. The campground itself can be a tight squeeze getting parked into some of the campsites. I had some difficulty getting my 28' TT into the campsite but once I got it around the trees and bushes around the entrance, there was plenty of space for both my TT and tow vehicle. There are lots of trees and vegetation in the campground which provides plenty of privacy between sites. Bathrooms were very clean. The campground volunteers were really doing a great job. All in all a very nice visit. It is just a little bit on the crowded side. - Lance 47
Paved roads and path for easy access to the Spring. Sites are generally small and not level sand and grass. Some visual privacy from the vegetation between sites. Bath houses are excellent with lots of hot water and good pressure with a bench and plenty of hooks to hang your clothes. A county paved trail system which runs for miles is adjacent to the park and is planned to become part of a county wide system in the near future. The Spring was closed to swimming when we visited as it was full of manatees and the park was full of visitors making use of the boardwalk and sidewalk that parallels the Spring and Run that connects to the St. John's River. - Appleknocker
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Blue Spring State Park »Blue Springs is a very popular park; not only for camping but also for day visitors who come to see the manatees or just enjoy the park. Upon entering the park, you can wait in line a long time, even if you are already checked in as there is only one lane to enter the park. We're told that on busy weekends, the backup can be as long as 60 cars! Its a beautiful spot and most of the sites are pretty private. Some are quite small and difficult to get into; so big rigs should make sure they can fit. We saw many big rigs that had to park their cars or trucks almost off the road just to squeeze them into their site. The springs are beautiful and well worth the short trip down to the water. They offer cruises on the St. Johns River or you can just walk along the boardwalk or bike along the bike path or trails. There is a small gift shop and cafe there too. The park is off of Route 17 / 92 which can be pretty busy. The turn into the park road from the highway is pretty tight. But the park is back a few miles from the highway so there is no road noise. There is a train that goes pretty close however. Our site was advertised as gravel but that had disappeared long ago and it was pretty soft sand making it difficult to level. Once we did, it was a great spot however. We noted that some of the sites do have hard packed gravel and that would be more desirable. - Cape Cod kayaker

Rating: 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Hontoon Island State Park »We were in cabin #2. There are 12 tent sites and 6 cabins available to rent. Cabins are primitive with 2 electrical outlets. Tent sites have no electricity and shared water. Most seem very small for today's larger tent sizes. There is no vehicular traffic on the island. A pontoon boat will take you from parking lot to island and then a ranger van will take you and your stuff to your cabin/site. This park is very busy on the weekends, usually completely full. There are several trails to hike/bike. Canoe/kayak rentals are available as well as excellent fishing on the St. Johns River. We found the bathroom to be very dirty and something (maybe a rat) was living in the woman's bathroom. Park was very quiet during the week, and rangers were helpful as well. Since my last visit almost 20 years ago they have added a playground and a visitor's center/museum. But the 80 ft tall observation tower was taken down 6 years ago. We also visited Blue Springs SP, about 12 miles away. It has 72 degree water for swimming and DeLeon Springs SP, with a wonderful pancake breakfast made from homemade flours ground on the premises with their mill as well as natural spring swimming. - FL Camper

Rating: 7 3 7 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Great marina location on the St. Johns River not far from Blue Spring State Park! Our pull in site R27 was next to the marina basin and VERY narrow, with just enough space to open our awning. Neighbor's hookups were right in front of our door. Site had a picnic table. Other than the occasional airboat at Ed Stone Park's boat ramp and traffic going over the drawbridge right next to the park, it was amazingly quiet at our end. A little noisier with the tiki bar and often partying campers at the other (north) end. The dog park was surprisingly nice, and though we used it often, no one else ever seemed to. Not a great area for dog walking. Park is not that big, and long walks require venturing out either along a VERY BUSY highway, or through a park next door and out Old New York Avenue; very fast traffic, no shoulder, no sidewalks, tons of trash. ONYA is less traveled, but still uncomfortable. The park's restaurant is GREAT and happy hour is 3-6. Good food and awesome views with upstairs tiki bar and outside seating. Camp store sells a few kinds of beer, I was never able to use the laundry room (2w / 2d) it was always crammed. A large handful of OTA channels, great Verizon signal for JetPack. I liked the location, not far to New Smyrna or Daytona...the beaches were only half an hour away. - GeorgiePorgie
Campsites are gravel and too close together. Our Awning almost touched neighbor. Water pressure is variable, often low. There is no one overseeing park after hours to handle any issues. There is too much noise even during quiet hours due to some campers partying and playing music. Management did nothing to hanle it despite saying they would talk to offenders. One camper in medium motorhome has 3 dogs and one cat with dogs barking incessently when owners are gone. They also have one vehicle parked that does not run. There are 3 people living in it full time. It's too bad because this campground has great potential due to it's location close to the St Johns River. - Terry Friedrich
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for DeLand / St. Johns River KOA »We stayed here 2 weeks in a river front pull-through. These sites are asphalt with grass between them and have a lovely view of the river. However, there is quite a slope to the back of these sites and we double blocked our rear jacks in order to get level. The big downside to these sites is that it is the access road to the restaurant/bar. The rules we were handed at check-in stated that the speed limit is 5 mph and strictly enforced. Only the campers know this because it isn't posted anywhere in the park and the bikers use this stretch as a drag strip to and from the bar. We mentioned this but who knows if they'll either post speed limit signs or install speed bumps. But, the almost constant roar of motorcycles during the day and early evening definitely negated the tranquility of being on the river. The basin sites don't have a river view but they aren't on the drag strip. They are gravel and grass and level sites. There is currently a laundry and bath facility being constructed there. Everything here is new and clean. Restaurant is pretty good with live music several nights a week. Wifi was excellent. No cable but tons of OTA stations and no trees to block our satellite. Great place to bring dogs. Lots of grassy areas to walk them. We didn't have a picnic table but there are several of them around the park. We asked if we could get one but they were out and have more on the way. The bar is closed on Monday and Tuesday and those were the best days to be here. I doubt we return because of the traffic issue. - thekites

The park consists mainly of full-timers, with sites for transients on the front row just off the main road. It was difficult to maneuver our 30 foot motor coach through the park to get to our site. The roads are narrow and cars are parked any which way at the sites. Sites were sand, but we did have a nice concrete patio.We would probably stay here again. - melissab7

Rating: 10 3 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a working fish camp, not a RV resort. That being said, it is the cleanest fish camp I have ever been to. The staff was extremely friendly. Rates are fair. The main focus is fishing and boating so if you don't enjoy that this is not a place for you. Very clean, rustic, old Florida charm. - toddlo
This seems to be mostly a place to live and/or a place to launch a boat. We did get a last minute reservation but I suppose that's due to the fact that it's not a destination?
We got a site next to a rusted out trailer with no wheels and TV blaring all day/night and across from someone who obviously has lived there a long time. At one point the water shut off for a while as a couple of guys shouted back and forth across the grounds to each other about how to fix it.
I think the site listed a restroom/shower facility but we never found it.
The site was just wide enough to fit our tiny trailer and park our vehicle cross ways in front of it. Not room for anything else. No trees or shade at all. - ToddAndMargeView more reviews and a full list of amenities for Highland Park Fish Camp »Rate is not the advertised rate. When we talked to them on the phone, they let us know that the price was due to Bike Week in Daytona. We took it anyway since we needed a place to stay close to friends in the area. It is very rustic and has a well stocked bass pond, but since we are not fishermen, we didn't care. They advertise "full" RV hookups. To a certain degree this is true. They have water, sewer, and electric hookups. When we made the reservations we told them 50 amp, but on arrival they gave us 30 amp. Looked like most of their RV sites are long term and some have been there a very long time. The sewer hook up was too small to handle the volume of water, and sewage overflowed onto the ground before we could shut off the valves. We had to back into our site since the people in the cabin next to us had their truck in the way and we were parked right on the road so we could not put out our outdoor chairs. We will not stay here again. - bob and phyl

Rating: 8 8 8 5 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Stayed to attend a local hiking event, so were focused on electric for AC and clean bathrooms. Both needs were well met. Sites are groomed sand/grass/weeds and flat. Each site has an electric pool, fire ring, picnic table, and some shade. If you're going to "enjoy the outdoors" this may not be the place as its very close to I-4 and you can hear the interstate noise. There are very nice restaurants in the neighboring small town of Sanford. BEWARE OF THE MOSQUITOES!! When the sun goes down the place is SWARMING with those monsters. Also has a nice bike trail between this park and Blue Springs State Park where there are BEAUTIFUL springs. - DebMoves
The only reason I gave this park an 8 is that there is no sewer and as a spoiled camper, I like my sewer. The spots are level, bath house is very clean and looks relatively new. The roads are dirt but well maintained, as are the spaces. The spaces are shady with plenty of trees between for privacy. There is a boat dock to go out into Lake Monroe. We will rerurn to this very nice park. - esta34950

This park is in the process of being sold to a developer and will be closed in the next few weeks. Although a review is probably not necessary, I'll include some of the major issues. Maintenance was pretty much non-existent due to the sale. Water pressure was very low, we had to run our pump to keep the pressure up to an acceptable level. The 50-amp electrical service was running at about 109 volts, too low for RVs like ours. Bathrooms were old and not maintained, not cleaned regularly either. The people here were very nice, but since they were being forced to move there was a depressed mood as the moving trucks came in every day. Do not plan to stay here during the next month or so if you want to relax or have a good experience. We reserved many months ago before the sale went through and did not know what we were getting into. - LowesTravels

Rating: 8 10 8 5 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We enjoyed our three-month stay in TwevleOak RV resort everyone is very friendly and keeps to themselves for the most part. This resort is a mix of new and older RV's but very well maintained. During our stay, SR46 was under construction making it a little hard to get in and out during peak traffic times but very manageable, due to the construction the resort lost its pool and main clubhouse and is making good use of it older clubhouse which is always packed during events. Special dinner party and Saturdays morning breakfast are must-attend events. TwelveOaks Rv Resort staff will make you feel welcome but no one is overbearing. If you're looking for a Great Central Florida location giving you the options to see most everything central Florida has to offer within a one / two hour drive then you need to check out this Resort it's convenient affordable and well managed. - Michael Cottle
This park is clean and well maintained. There was apparently much damage during the last hurricane. The main office is in a construction trailer which is very neat, has a reception desk, mail pick up service, office and restroom. Park maintenance was busy raking and picking up leaves. The overall appearance of the park is a clean, well maintained park in spite of ongoing construction of new office and restoration of some RV sites. Front office personnel were friendly, accommodating and helpful. I recommend this park if you are in the area. It is particularly good if you are visiting Sanford. - LOWBill
