RV Rentals near Sanford, Florida

Sanford stands about 24 miles up I 4 from downtown Orlando, a little over half an hour on a clear run. It is a former riverboat and rail town on the south shore of Lake Monroe, now known for a brick paved historic centre, the RiverWalk along the water and fishing access to the St Johns River system.

Campgrounds and RV parks around Sanford

Sanford is one of the few communities north of Orlando with a full hookup resort inside the city limits, and three more sit within a short drive.

One of these parks is in Sanford. The other three are close by, and each is labelled with the town it actually occupies.

Twelve Oaks RV Resort: The in town option, at 161 Twelve Oaks Place, listing 30 and 50 amp service with water and sewer at each site. No maximum rig length is published, so call 407 323 0880 before you commit to a long motorhome.

Lake Monroe Park: Directly across the water in DeBary, at 975 US Highway 17 92, run by Volusia County. RV camping is offered at forty dollars a night with power included; the county does not publish whether water and sewer reach each site.

Wekiwa Springs State Park: West in Apopka, at 1800 Wekiwa Circle, with sixty sites on water and electric, sewer at some, and a 50 foot ceiling on rig length. Reservations go through the state on 800 326 3521.

Orlando NW / Orange Blossom KOA Journey: Southwest in Apopka, at 3800 W Orange Blossom Trail, where every site carries water, 50 amp electric and sewer and the paved pull throughs reach 100 feet.

Confirm current availability, rules and requirements directly with each park.

Matching an RV to a Sanford trip

Class C motorhomes fit Sanford neatly, easy to place at Twelve Oaks and short enough for the narrow streets of the historic district. Class A motorhomes give a long stay more room to spread out, Class B motorhomes park downtown without fuss, large bunkhouse travel trailers work for families who want a separate bunk room, and small travel trailers keep a couple's costs down. Availability depends on the individual RV and your travel dates, and pricing varies by class, season and rental length. View available RVs or Contact the Orlando RV Rentals team.
