Lake Wales Campground

This is a 4-star review, and the reason it's not 1 star is entirely due to how the management staff handled one of the most bizarre situations I've ever had at a campground. ​First, the park is fine. But the real story is this: ​I was walking Obi, my very sweet 2-year-old Lab mix, who was strapped into his chest harness. A woman with three dogs on three retractable leashes (I know, right?) decided to let them all rush my dog. Obi, being a friendly Lab, got excited and pulled, so I grabbed his HARNESS to get control and walked him away from the chaos, back to our rig. ​A few minutes later, I get a knock. It’s the same woman, in tears, telling me, "I saw you! I saw you grab him by his throat!" She threatened to call the police and the ASPCA on me for animal abuse. ​I was mad as hell. And hon

We made reservations for 4 nights in December 2024 to attend a Bluegrass festival. The reservations were made in July 2024. In October we had to cancel the reservations due to family matters. I notified them on 28 October of our cancellation. They called back the next day to confirm the cancellation but would not refund any of the $180 we had paid for 4 nights, saying that they would not refund after September. This policy is really unreasonable. I cannot comment on the campground but certainly will never stay there and support this selfish management.

Nice experience in august if 2023. It was normally hot & humid, I am from Montana so it’s a big change. Tent camped for two nights. Great & friendly staff & residents. Most residents are permanent or at least seasonal. They do have a few rental rv spots & a few tent spots. The pool was amazing. It’s heated but was a cooling relief for us in any case compared to outside. They have a lot of nice activity rooms, library, laundry etc that were also nicely air conditioned. I was able to freeze some water bottles in one of their rooms freezers that helped while we slept at night. There is also electric at the tent site so we had a fan running which also helped. No complaints & thankful for the tips from staff about the other hospitality rooms.

Our first visit to this campground was Jan & Feb of 2022. We pulled our camper from PA. It's south of Orlando in orange country, It's a small campground with some permanent residents, snowbirds and short term campers. It's nothing fancy, but there are some trees. The bathrooms are fantastically clean and the people friendly. There is much activity in the clubhouse with music jamming, cards, dominoes, movie night, bingo, church service, special dinners and shows. We loved it so much we bought a park model that became available for sale.

Late afternoon we pulled off the road into this campground resort. Super friendly British host who, although the campground was full, offered us a tent spot in a large grassy area - it had water and electricity which was fine for our Class B rig. After we had hooked up and got settled, I wanted to do some laundry but realized I had forgotten to bring detergent. No problem, friendly host would not hear of us unhooking and driving off to the nearest store, he offered me a box from his wife's housekeeping supplies - at no charge either. Clean bathhouse with lots of room in the shower stalls - plenty of hooks and a large shelf in each.
