Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake, Orlando, FL

We had a nice stay at Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake in Orlando, FL. It’s a city park in Orlando and we absolutely loved our stay. The campground itself was pretty small (only 36 sites) but our site was very spacious. Given the size and popularity of the campground, it can be difficult to get a site. It’s absolutely beautiful with wooded sites.

There are full hookup sites, but our site had electric and water but no sewer. Because we continue to use the clothing washer/dryer, I made regular visits to the dump station and my sewer bladder got a work out this week.

The bathhouse and laundry room looked clean. Laundry was cheap at $1.25 per wash and dry.

The only real negative to the campground is that the sites are quite sloped front to back. No lie, my outdoor kitchen counter was nipple high. It made our dorm fridge unusable for my kids and even a challenge to get things out of the freezer for me!

The campground is very close to Universal Studios. We must have driven past it a couple of dozen times! We didn’t go, but we did go visit Disney World a couple of times.

While there, take a drive to the Apopka Wildlife Drive. It was awesome! It was maybe 30 minutes away but we loved it. We saw a bunch of alligators and a plethora of birds.

If you’re a full-time RVer, you already understand something most people don’t....that life doesn’t always go according to plan. You’ve chosen freedom. Flexibility. The ability to wake up in a new place whenever you want. But with that freedom comes a unique responsibility—especially when it comes to your health insurance. Because when you’re constantly on the move, having the right coverage isn’t just important… it’s critical. And recently, I was reminded exactly why.
