Lake Monroe Park Campground

$115/week with electricity/water and onsite dump station

If you are one of those people that go to a small town in a valley with a railroad running through it then complain about train noise, this park is NOT for you for not only are there trains (freight, Amtrak, and SunRail), there are also two highways and a factory. But if you can keep background noise in the background, this is a GREAT park.

It has eight clean, private bathrooms (shower/sink/toilet in a lockable room). Some of them have weak pressure, but B7 is strong, and they all have plenty of hot water and fold-down shower seats. If you are in a wheelchair, a couple of the showers allow you to roll into the shower without having to negotiate an edge.

There are two boat ramps with plenty of trailer parking (free launch when camping otherwise $2) with lots of dock space for prepping the boat. If you have a sailboat (like we do), there are power lines across both of the ramps, so you will probably need to raise the mast on the water.

The cycling/walking path is beautiful (see pic). Part of it is a wide boardwalk that sounds awesome when you ride over it. It goes through the palm/pine/oak woods alternating between full shade, partial shade, and sun, and it has many benches and picnic tables.

The sites are large for Florida, and there is vegetation between each to provide some privacy - except site three which is open on one side to a dumpster.

There is a fourteen day limit; otherwise, we might have stayed longer. The only slight negative is that for the very first time, we had something stolen - one of our boat trailer wheel chocks; it isn't worth anything, but it's annoying because I finally had the exact chocks that I wanted, and I am now many miles from where I bought them.

All the major networks are available OTA; we made no effort to aim the antenna, and everything was clear.

Only 25 spaces and about half tent only. Park has boat ramps so it gets pretty busy on weekends, but they are separated from the campgrounds.

I saw some reviews about noise, and sitting outside, you can hear road noise from I-4 and 17. You also hear announcements from the power plant across 17 from the park "...lightening within 10 miles..." or "... all clear...". Noise wasn't too bad and it didn't bother us. With the A/C on inside, didn't hear a thing.

The Spring to Spring trail terminus is right outside the campground area passed site 25. About 7 miles total to Green Springs, 2.7 miles to Gemini Springs, and Osteen is about 5.4 miles beyond Green Springs. Great ride and the springs are beautiful.

Got a lot of TV off the air!

This is a nice little park with shady spots and nice bathrooms. There are garbage cans all around and the staff cleaned the bathrooms out regularly. There are several shower stalls with toilets. There is a nice bike trail nearby and the pond has a boat launch and is also great for canoes.

There is traffic nearby, but the park is hidden in the woods really well and there are lots of trees offering privacy between campsites. There are campsites that are tent-only and for RV.

The sites have electric and water. There is a dump station near the entrance.

This is a nice place to camp if you want to do things around the Orlando area. It is right off I-4 and you can hear the traffic in the distance, but not bad. There are also train tracks nearby, but not too close to be a bother. Sounds cool.

Private level sites, water/electric from what I remember, and clean bathhouse. Biking trail accessible close to site, and a lake where you can fish. Lots of wildlife.

Only complaint is the refinery or some type of factory that's close by. Can be loud and makes you wonder what you could be possibly be breathing in.

Location is nice, there is zero privacy with the neighbors. The site was clean the neighbor had parked a guest car in our site before we arrived and had to get it moved.

The showers were clean, not all of the shower rooms had hot water for some reason. They were private.

As noted there is a factory a crossed the road and it is loud 24 hours a day.

This is really a nice little campground. There are two other county parks close by that we visited daily. lots to do in the neighboring towns. The noise level from the power plant, roadways, and trains was tolerable although if tent camping might be a little annoying.
The only issue we had was the feeling of no security support from the Parks Dept. and no camp host to keep an eye on things. We were told to call the Sheriff's Dept. if we needed help. There were two occasions I was ready to make the call. Hopefully this, not the norm for this park. This park has a lot to offer and is good for campers on a budget.

The campground is just so-so. Some sites are small and some are very large. We stayed in a tent only site. It was small but fine. The biggest negative is the traffic noise. It is constant. The huge plus is the system of hiking/biking trails. These are fantastic. We biked to Green Springs Park-17 miles round trip and it was an easy, mostly flat ride. That park was beautiful and worth the trip. Along the way is DeBary Hall, also a nice stop.

Convenient location but not sure what you do with yourself if you’re not boating, fishing or using the trails. Nice enough place, clean and well kept. Quite noisy with I4 traffic and power plant across the street and trains, but nothing that ear plugs can’t solve.

Had a problem with Verizon degrading during business hours, guess tower overload - 40 meg download over night but less than a Meg during the day. . ATT coverage not the greatest either.

Friendly staff, clean bathroom and sites. Mix of campers and tents. Very busy on the weekends, a lot more laid back during the week. Groceries only 15-20 min away. Cell signal wasn’t great.
