Magnolia Park Campground - Apopka, Florida

Josiah Kenyon

Hidden little gem! Very quiet, peaceful, and full of nature. Nice bathrooms! Not a ton to do, but the walking trail is great, and you'll see some wild creatures

What a lovely, quiet natural park. Friendly staff who keep it clean and cared for. Spacious and fairly private sites because of the way they are laid out. Perfect for cyclists with access to Apopka Lake Loop and trails. It feels like wilderness with the variety of wildlife, yet shops, laundry, restaurants etc are 10-15 minutes away. It was a pleasure to spend a few nights here although very hot in March.

We absolutely loved this campground! We got there before they closed the gates so we were able to meet the office staff and get some information on the springs before settling in to our camp. Our camp was more than spacious, had running water and an electrical outlet. The bathrooms/showers were clean and pristine and for a germaphobe like me, clean bathroom without smell is imperative to me. I felt comfortable taking a shower in the bathroom and the hot water didn't run out. The only warning would be: the mosquitoes. Bring a mesh tent or cover to ensure a peaceful evening otherwise the fly sized mosquitos will literally attack you. All in all, we can't wait to camp here again!

Campgrounds were nice, clean and had a lot of space between each other, some more than others. There are less than 20 lots in the campgrounds and it was full the night we stayed. It was super quiet even though we were right next to the rest area. Lots families here which was nice to see. My kids loved all the playgrounds, 4 in all and each one had different things to do. Each lot has 30 and 50 electric plugs in it as well as two places to plug in hoses. There was even a plug to plug in a extension cord for outside stuff too. There is a dump station as you exit the site. It was clean and well kept. The restrooms were clean and everything was well lit at night. For it being full, it was very quiet at night and we felt safe the entire time. We saw the park rangers multiple times cleaning up, maintaining the area and driving around watching over the park. You can bring your dogs too as long as you have proof of vaccinations. Lots of peacocks in the park and some had babies. We will definitely be back for a longer visit.

It is small. The park was clean. My campsite wasn't too clean. I had to sweep, there were ribbons, a tee shirt hanging on a branch, Q tips on the picnic table and socks by the spigots.

The Apopka lake and trails are in front of the park. I took my MTB as I always do and was able to clock 22 miles on the long flat trail.

The showers were not the cleanest. The toilets were cleaned.

This is our favorite Orange County Park and we have tried and enjoyed all of them where camping is available. While the facilities are very nice and well kept up, the people who work here are very nice which is always a pleasure. Plus, the price, even for non residents, is a good value.

Excellent place to Camp with your family and pets. Absolutely kid friendly very safe. Some of the sites lack privacy however everyone was very congenial and quiet. Mostly RVs there were a few tent campers also. The facilities were absolutely clean. The grounds very well kept. To no fault of the park some of their trees are loaded with some kind of nut or seed. While we were camping here it was windy and my car received two very large dents from the seeds. As we also had a few bruises from them falling and hitting us could be pretty bad if it were a small child. Be wary of what you're camping under. Being that it's right next to Lake Apopka even with mild weather the mosquitoes are vicious during sunrise and sunset. Mosquito protections absolutely needed. The park rangers and everyone who worked there that we encountered were extremely kind and informative. Lake Apopka Park is directly across the street and just south of that there is a driving trail that goes over 10 miles. Lake Apopka Park has a boat ramp so this is an excellent place for somebody who wants to Boat, fish, bird watch, picnic or just take a stroll.
While we were there we also checked out the group camping site which is extremely private and well-appointed. This place would be an excellent location for large parties weddings Etc. Thank you guys for a wonderful experience we will be back with our pets and kids.

It is a very pretty park and is definitely worth visiting. I gave it three stars because navigating your rig and backing in is really difficult. We have a 36' fifth wheel and I recommend if you have this size trailer or bigger I would not stay here. The trees are not trimmed so your roof will be going through limbs and the trees around the winding loop make navigating very difficult. Stayed in Site 17.
