Lake Louisa is beautiful. So many variety of hiking trails to explore. The trails are very dog friendly. They are a mix of sand and dirt trails. Just what you would expect in Central Florida. I was here late fall. The weather was in the 60s-70s everyday.

Absolutely Breathtaking!! This was my first time camping there and I was in complete awe when I drove in. Its hilly, theres 4 different lakes to fish, canoe/ kayak and swim (I think swimming is only allowed in Lake Louisa). Also guided horseback riding tours, I believe 1 hour for $55 and 2 hours for$99. Theres 3 camping loops with over 50 sites for RVs, 3rd party tents (w/ac), canvas tents setup on pallets they kinda look like the top of a circus tent, pole in the center of the round tent. Each site has water & power hookup, there is a dump station for registered campers. Each camp site loop has their own, Camp Hosts that volunteer with different jobs. Oh very pet friendly. Each camp site is good size with some back in and some pull through sites. Also each camping loop has their own mens & womens bathrooms with showers and a laundry room which the washer & dryer take credit cards. At the entrance to the camping loops theres the dumpsters for your garbage, you are responsible for your own. Then theres one of the lakes that has a long dock for fishing or just to take in the gorgeous view. Theres canoe & kayak rental inside the little camp store that has some of the basic things you might need, souvenirs like tee shirts, patches, pins & mugs just to name a few. You also rent the canoes, kayaks and the cute glamping tents as well as scheduling your guided horseback riding tour. RV camping sites are $24 a night 3pm check in and 1pm check out time. I cant wait to go back!

So many ecological systems in one place. Pine scrubs, oak hammocks, sand ridges, and marsh/swamp wetlands. A beautiful piece of true Florida. A glimpse of what this state was before all the concrete. We stayed 2 nights at Pine Point, a primitive campsite. Nice spot next to Big Creek. However, this site is on the trail. There is a picnic table and a fire ring. They ask you do not tie anything to the trees. The hike from parking to site is approximately 3/4 miles. There are 2 bathroom facilities in the campsite area (additional fee) that are well maintained if you want to shower. Overall a magnificent park to hike and kayak/canoe. *Be ware of pygmy rattlers*

Love this place! Enjoy walking the trails with the fam. Seen lots of animals (snakes, gators, Bobcats, eagles, etc.) throughout our times visiting the park. Great place to also bike.

Beautiful hiking trails and a great little beach area. There are so many spots to fish and bike ride. The camp sites are really nice. They even have glamping yurts available and kayak rentals. This is a beautiful park to spend the day at.

An amazing state park that has everything. Friendly staff, kayaking, fishing, horseback riding, biking, hiking, swimming. RV access and sights, camping, and cabins. There are plenty of spaces to park. They even have a virtual 5K you can run in the park at any time and receive a medal. The bathrooms and showers in the campground area are spotless. They have washers and dryers. And a little camp store thats open from 10:00 to 4:00 p.m. I would highly recommend this place whether its for an afternoon a day or a week. Very close to all the hills in Clermont and the theme parks.

I was so amaze of a beautiful park. I had the chance to explore the bike trails. I recommend this place you are going to enjoy it alone or with your family. Near the Louisa Lake there is a playground for kids you can have your pets with leash. It has clean restrooms, tables and parking. Wonderful place to have a photo shoot. I had the chance while biking to see a deer. Remember there are gators on the lake, please caution with kids.

Beautiful and diverse, this park features miles of well maintained multitude trails which kept us busy with our fat tire bikes. Very friendly staff, and clean and well functioning amenities. We also enjoyed the fishing piers for both freshwater fishing and great moonrises and sunsets.

Visited the park for 2 days for the ACA Level 2 kayak touring leader training. Great cabins, very friendly staff and terrific wildlife viewing (deer, gopher tortoises, numerous species of birds and butterflies). Had a great time and will return!

This hidden gem just of Rt. 27 is a beautiful retreat back to nature. Once inside you will not hear the yelling or screaming of the inner city nor the sounds of cars flying by. The only sounds youll hear is nature at its finest. After you pay the $5.00 to go in (used to maintain the grounds), youll travel along a beautiful nature trail. There are plenty of areas to go through and get lost in nature. You can bike ride and picnic too. Lake Louisa makes a great escape from the bustling sounds of city life.

Amazing trails. Beautiful scenery. The wildlife is great to see. Stress relieving hike for sure.

Truly a hidden gem. Enjoyed every minute. The trails, the fresh air, the swimming beach, fishing, the sunsets, and most of all the cabin we stayed at. Already booked again for next month.

We enjoyed our short stay very much. The cabin was clean and comfortable with new, comfortable furnishings. We slept well and enjoyed the large screen porch. The air was SO fresh. We will return.

Family loves to come here to hike and swim. This is a hidden local gem. The cabins are awesome, well worth it. They have horse camp sites that we have not used but they look awesome.

Its a great place for a family hike. The major reason I dont give it a higher rating is because of the mapping and sign system of the park. Initially, I thought the map you get at the ranger station or online is pretty clear, however, while hiking there are tons of detours and new trails that are no on the map and with no signs, so have all your senses on! (I usually never get lost, but here needed to rectify several times). Finally, some trails are really neat and perfect, while others seem only good for horse trail, not for a family hike...should be better marked. Overall, I like it!

Just spent some time on the water. So much fun for the family. They have boat rentals that are very reasonably priced. Cant wait to come back to hike once the temperatures come down some.

Hiking, biking, canoeing, horse back riding, glamping. This park has a lot to offer. The campground isnt the best laid out and many spots dont have any shade from the sun. Stick to the wooded areas when hiking to stay cool.

First time camping here-what a great experience. Nicely kept amenities, washer and dryer available as well. Areas for fishing and swimming. Cute little playgound area kept my kids entertained. We drove by the cabin area and the views were amazing!! I was skeptical because of the area, but it definitely doesnt feel like youre in Orlando! Close enough to stores so I could easily make a trip when we realized we forgot something! We will be back.

Great campground, sites not too close together. Bathhouses A+, beautiful and plenty of road to ride bikes, hiking trails. Close to shopping and WDW parks. *avoid tolls by staying on 27 to 192 to Disney parks. Trails are nice and scenic. You can rent horses for guided rides, there are 3 glamping tents if you do not have your own (they have window unit ac in each)..Staff on-site at park were exceptional.

This was such a cute little campground! Lake Louisa is a hidden gem with big perks. The campground has very clean restrooms with both handicapped showers and bathrooms. It came with a washer and dryer attached in the middle (which you can pay for with cash or card). It also has some pretty cool “glamping” tents for rent. My husband and I staid at site 15 with our renovated ‘87 Escaper. This spot was pretty secluded (which we loved!) and had partial hookups. At night you can see the stars super clearly! So gorgeous!! We were less than 200ft from both lake Dixie and Hammond . Our little dog loved it here as well, so they’re definitely pet friendly. It also had a small store where you could rent canoes or kayaks and other fishing gear, food etc. it also had horseback riding and a ton of assorted things to do so you won’t get bored. Sadly , we only staid for two nights but anyone staying for longer will definitely have a ton to do!

My fiancé and I have been a few times and we really enjoy the different trails. We did get lost once and ended up walking parallel to highway 27. Once we realized that we took a wrong turn, we called the park and they had someone come get us. They were super nice and friendly.

This is a very nice spot to take your family. The campsites have water and electric hook ups and there are also primitive camping if so wanted. There is also glamming or glamour camping, with available tents with furniture.There are many activities that can be conducted, such as fishing, kayaking, canoeing and more. The staff at the rental place are very nice and accommodating. The lake is a nice kayaking but it is just a round lake so not much to explore.The bathrooms are amazing! Well-stocked and cleaned. The ones by the campsites have washers/driers as well next to it.There is a little beach by the fresh water where you can BBQ on the available standard pits and picnic tables. Bring repellant for the mosquitoes and love bugs.Overall, we truly enjoyed our time here, whether it was camping, fishing, kayaking, BBQ, or swimming.

Was passing through on a work trip with some friends and we needed a spot to camp. Very gorgeous and the person working the front entrance was incredibly sweet really nice all around stay. Would definitely come back!

We had an awesome time!! There was a bit of a hiccup at the start of our trip, as there was a mix up with our cabin rental but Ranger Ms. Gordon came to the rescue and got us the best cabin ever! We brought bikes and the trails were magnificent. We will definitely come again.

Very quiet park with many trails and pet friendly. The beach area , no pets allowed which we had read before going. Is a nice area.to have a picnic very rustic style. The trails are clearly marked and going on a weekday is good if you want to avoid crowds!!!

I spent the afternoon visiting the park yesterday and was totally amazed by this awesome park. The cabins are a wonderful way to experience a family outing by the lake.

The care free camping or glamping is a nightmare. The entire tent was covered in mold. Smelled so terrible we had a hard time breathing inside. My husband and I were both sick and the second day my dog started getting sick too. The last day we stuck our heads inside the 2 other care free tents since we noticed no one was staying in them. They were much cleaner and didnt smell. In the end, my family ended up in the ER and my dog at the Vet from mold.Update 11.16.20You left 1 voice-mail in which we have emailed 3 times and called twice with no response. So if the ceiling was just stains, then the smell must have been from all the active mold around the bottom of the tent. We sent you pictures of the mold in our emails. If you would like, we can post them here since you seem to check the reviews.

Beautiful park. RV sites are nice but very little shade. Bathhouse is very clean. Washer and dryer are available. The trails are well maintained and the beach area is pristine. Horseback riding 7 days a week and kayaking and canoeing available.

Great horse trails. Horse camping was ok. No showers 1 toilet for the whole equine camping area. 1 water spigot for 3 camp sites. I felt like a red headed stepchild

Nice spot with pretty, relatively easy hikes. Woods are nice to walk through with some pretty views of the lake.

Great state park lots of great trails and so close to Disney this is one of our favorite places to camp. O my down side is most spots dont have septic.

Beautiful, went looking for gators and didnt see any, but still saw other wildlife and apparently a spanish film crew, too. Will go again.

Enjoyed all the different hiking trails! The beach area was a nice surprise. I liked the signs that gave information on plants and animals I might encounter. The “glamping ” spots are adorable!

Beautiful, well maintained park. Paved roads for biking and several wooded trails for hiking. We will definitely visit again.

We love visiting Lake Louisa State Park! We have camped here and just visited as day guests! The park has some of our favorite hiking trails because they are wide and well maintained! The park is also conveniently located to all of Orlando theme parks!

Lake Louisa State Park was absolutely gorgeous the grounds are immaculate. It reminded me so much of being back home upstate New York. The park rangers were so respectful and nice. And invited me back as well I would recommend this park to anyone.

Beautiful acres and acres of open space with well marked/well maintained trails that are great for walking, biking and horse riding.

Great place to spend the day with family very calm and many activities to do.

Ive always enjoyed this park, the lake was great for kayaking and seems to be nice for camping. Some of the trails have not been hiked as much as other state parks so often the trails are uneven for footing.

Great campsites for rv camping. Tent camping can be challenging depending on the site. Definitely recommend upgrading to some steel spikes to use as stakes.

Great experience with horseback riding. Staff were very friendly. Ride was smooth. Horses are well behaved.

This park provided one of our favorite family camping experiences. There is so much to do in the park and I highly recommend bringing bikes to get around. The cabins look beautiful and the tents look spectacular, but we stayed in our RV and I highly recommend spot 37 for its privacy and proximity to ther bathhouse and the two lakes that are out that way. We cant wait to visit again!

This is a large, nice park but the camp sites leave a bit to be desired. The sites are small, patio areas are to the rear where most RV doors are forward or midway. There are a few sewer sites but be sure you have 30 plus of hose. Site 32 is private but we could not extend the awning. The sewer outlet is 30 from the rest of the utilities. If in a taller rig be very careful of the tress in pull through sites. If looking for privacy or concerns of a possible noisy neighbor many of the sites are a definite no. The trash receptacle doesnt over any recycling and is not in the camp loops.

Ive been here for the 3 days ago, its so beautiful and quiet .Im sure this is a very nice place to come here with my family everyday.

Nice park! Campsites look good, cabins look gorgeous, saw lots of tortoises. Enjoyed a good Lakeview while eating.lunch.

It was my first time going but it definitely wont be my last. I look forward to camping out there and it was so beautiful and im excited to go back and take my family with me.

Very friendly staff and camp host. Safe campground for kids. Lots of day visitors riding bikes on the roads.

Me and my friends loved it. We did walking, kayaking, and bicycling. Its beautiful here.

Gorgeous forest and lakes (5 lakes). Unique landscape for Florida that contains many hills that overlook some of the lakes.

Nice way to socially distance! after cancelling our out of state vacation we settled on Lake Louisa State Park. We rented a glamping tent plus a traditional tent for the kids (family of 5). The glamping tent was great, spacious and very comfortable. Love the AC! The staff was very helpful and resolved an issue we had with the traditional tent very quickly. We went kayaking/canoeing twice which is ok, but not much to see and on a smaller lake. My older two daughters and wife went on a 1 hour trail ride and enjoyed it. The kids also enjoyed the swimming beach.

Have enjoyed a couple of different occasions hiking the trails. This trip found this amazing fungi (I think) Glad we can bring our dog on the trials - she needs the exercise. Hope to get back many times and at different times if the year to explore this enormous park.

$5 to get in. Camping, kayaking, canoeing, hiking and biking for additional fees (if you dont bring your own equipment). Plenty of places to picnic, and at the lake theres a small swimming area and playground. In the late fall and winter its a gem. The rest of the year, its just too hot to enjoy--even with the lake.

Nice place for a quite time .My kids and I tried some fishing but wasnt good a day.Staff are nice

Watch out for turtles, of all shapes and sizes, crossing the road. Dont fracture their shell!

Hiking trails, biking, kayaking, fishing, swimming, picnicking and relaxing. Will go again! Restrooms VERY clean!

I absolutely LOVE this park! The trails are beautiful and each loop unique from the others. We visit 4 times a week to walk and seen all kinds of wildlife - I am going to miss this place more than anywhere else around when I have to go north!

This state park is a wonderful find! Its very clean and the staff is friendly, resourceful, and friendly.They have a beach you can go to and get some sun They have RV camping and a small general store for last minute needs They also have walking trails for hardcore nature enthusiasts If youre looking for a place to visit in Clermont, this is a great place to spend the day!

I absolutely love this place. Ive been hiking here for years. Always well maintained. Their cabins are perfect for a weekend (or more) getaway when you need those tranquil moments.

I purchased the luxury glamping experience and that is not what we had. When we arrived the zippers to our tent was broken and unable to close. The canteen employee was very sweet and did all she could to accommodate us. She went and got clips to clamp it shut so the bugs wouldnt get in. Then there was holes everywhere in the tent and when it rained everything got soaked. The a/c unit took forever to start cooling and never really cooled until the evening time. There was nothing to see while kayaking. We were just kayaking for the sake of saying we did. Fishing was tough because all of the Lilly pads that made it almost impossible to bring up a fish with out the line snapping. We werent able to go horseback riding because it was booked for two weeks out. This was not at all what we were expecting when we planned a carefree camping experience. The park is beautiful but the next time we come we will just bring our own everything and camp the traditional way, at least I will know what to expect and cant complain about the luxuries I paid for but did get.

I LOVED THIS EXPERIENCE!!!! The tour was awesome! Recommended to ride in cooler temperatures. My horse Corn Bread was so hilarious! My husband and i are coming back to bring all the family!!!

A huge state park with several lakes and rolling hills covered in live oaks, pines, cypress. Lots of grassy trails for hiking or biking, we went on them as a family and managed to pull the bike trailer on them. Enjoyed the lake view from our cabin! The cabins were excellent.. two bed two bath, a long front porch with wooden rockers, and a kitchen with all appliances, coffee maker, and microwave.The boardwalk through cypress trees that opened up to the sandy beach of Lake Louisa was pretty and a cool experience.

The cabins!! Its all the about the lake front cabins at this park! They are hard to get but totally worth every penny. The 2/2 cabins have full a/c and the best screened in lake view porch! Best glamping experience our family has ever had... and my kids loved it way more than being in a tent. Highly recommend this park, beach, trails for fun for all ages!

We pull Ed up to cabin #17. There is an option to park in a handicap or regular parking space. There is a wooden boardwalk that takes you to a screened in porch that overlooks Lake Louisa. The porch has a rocking bench, two rocking chairs and a big picnic table. There are two entrances. One that leads into the master bedroom and the other the leads into the open concept of living room, dining table and kitchen. You open the door and you see the checkerboard style floor and what I think is pinewood for the walls all the way up to the ceiling. Its beautiful! They have a few pictures of nature on the walls. They couldve had varying sizes of pictures to make it look a little more proportioned. There is a pull out sofa in the living area that is ONLY designed for small kids (weight limit I would recommend would be 35-50lbs). It was very squeaky and noisy. There wasnt a fitted sheet for the pull out sofa either. The beds in the other bedroom are very soft. For those of you with bad backs. There are blinds in every window that need a little work. The pulls had knots in them so they wouldnt go all the down and some of the blind was missing in some of the windows. The bathroom was a nice size! The toilet seat was surprising! It slipped every time I say down on it. If I was older I might have fallen off and hurt myself! The sink needs to be bigger! I think it might have been smaller than my Kindle tablet. The shower was a walk-in. The shower curtain and rod was extremely noisy! I had stayed here once before and made sure to bring a few essentials like; paper towels, soap, and any other things that make your stay a little more homey. Overall it is a nice place to stay for a long weekend!

Very nice state park; many options from canoeing, horseback riding, trails, camping etc. Entrance is $5 per car.

Extremely nice clean place just to walk and clear your mind.

A very quiet and spacious place to get away and enjoy some down time.....

Lots of great equestrian trails. Pretty quiet. Not a lot of campsites. Needs better hiking trails.

Beautiful state park! Many lakes to see sunrise and sunsets.

Beautiful state park. Lots of hiking trails. Nice to come 4 or 5 times a year to see how the trails change with season. Please allow hike in camping again cant get more socially distanced than that

Beautiful park with wide variety of options. Definitely recommend this place.

The greatest Central Florida park! Beach for the kids, over 15 miles of hiking and biking trails. Multiple picnic areas, cabins and camping/RV area. Its an immersive walk into nature on a picturesque Lake!!! Look for upcoming events also.

Beautiful scenery in the middle of a busy place.Awesome sunsets over the lakes

It was a really nice park. We walked several of the trails and saw deer, hawks, turtles. It was peaceful and quiet. The beach area looked nice and tons of picnic areas. We drove over to the cabins that are available to rent they looked really nice as well.

Love it!!! Very clean facilities, quiet place to be around nature.Friendly staff

If you like nature and camping this place offers that and a lot of nature trails.

Nice state park huge area lots of trails little beach campground peaceful

Nice park for swim playground bike riding and camping. There is a cost for entry.

Lake Louisa campground is nice. We would love it if they would clear a little around the lakes so you could fish. You have to use a canoe or fish from 2 docks. It has a nice beach area on one of the lakes.

BEWARE before renting a tent here that TWO out of three of the tents they have are FULL of mold. It was truly nasty. The listing on Airbnb is inaccurate. Clearly If they posted the tent full of mold they would not get it rented.I was put into one that was, that was NOT the one I saw on Airbnb, the second time I rented. My boyfriend is now recovering from being sick. I I tried to tell them my issues and they said they could not refund me or help me. They then had someone random that was not apart of the team or Airbnb call me three hours later when I was there to “call me” to help which they told me they couldn’t since all tents were occupied. I drove four hours. Clearly I’m staying. After the call in which I did not answer because I had no idea what a random number was. I throughly discussed my issues and no one cared to help or a refund was not received.On top of that we had a broken AC that leaked all over the floor.Will never support this place again, truly disappointed since I’ve been twice. Had a clean and good experience at first. But make sure to get tent 2 if you do go.

Great Place to Camp. Clean Bathrooms, kayak rental. Had a great time!

An amazing State Park. Once you pull in its like being in another state. Landscape is beautiful. Great place for photography. Camp ground is ok. Not much shade. Bathhouses are clean and modern. Only complaint is there is only one playground.

So fun! Cute Beach. Very peaceful

Nice place to hike around. Unfortunately had pooring rain stop is before going as far as we wanted.

Great State Park. It is a nice break from flat florida with rolling hills.

This place is huge a lot of lakes horse back riding kayaking so far Ive seen 5 lakes and lots of fishing great place 2nd day here

We stayed here a few times and its great, but this last time when we tried extending our stay my wife was told by one of the rangers that we cannot extend our stay because the park is full. This was b.s. and the website showed many open sites available. I was furious and went to speak to them, without any problems the gentleman working there extended our stay!!!! How did he do that if there was no more sites available.

Was a nice secluded park with plenty of shaded rv and tent sites. Some are full hkup and some are just elect n water. Fishing, kayaking, bicycling, and trails to walk. We had site #1right off restrm w showers n laundry. Would visit again.

My husband and I stayed at Arden’s Place over the Christmas Holiday and I have to say it was the perfect alternative to the norm. From the luxury style safari tent to the Campers Canteen this place has everything you want and delivers everything you didn’t know you needed. Upon arrival of this very large campsite you’re hit with a wow factor as your eyes key in on the big white tent with warm Edison style garden lights strung all around it. As you walk inside the tent the wow continues as you notice this space is as stylish and spacious as a luxury hotel room. Though there appeared to be what looked like mold on the surface of the tent, the cleanliness of the actual space made us soon forget that it was even there. Well dressed queen sized bed, chandelier lamps, air conditioning, power outlets and even reading chairs...now this is glamping. This site also contained a pavilion with a grill and a campfire ring set just to the side of the tent. Let’s not forget the very clean building just across from the site containing restrooms, showers and even laundry machines. As for activities the park has pretty much everything you can imagine from horseback riding to bike riding to kayaking. We chose kayaking so we could enjoy rowing about the beautiful lake to see all that Mother Nature has to offer. I have to extend a special thank you to Adren who took the time not only to set us up, but also make sure we got safely onto the water. All that’s left to say is that this is a place we will definitely visit again.

The park is a nice oasis however just across the street from hwy 27 is a different story the once beautiful orange groves are getting replaced by more developments. What a shame. g

Somewhat basic. Walked the bear lake trail and the short boardwalk to Lake Louisa itself. Definitely setup more for campers than people on a day trip.

Nice park. Cabins looked nice. Wish I had more time to explore.

Amazing park with beautiful landscape that’s great for walks. The park provides many activities and plenty of trails. Very friendly rangers that answered all our questions and gave some good tips.

Nice scenic spot to hangout.

Super clean restrooms and sincerely helpful staff!

Beautiful park with plenty of places to do some hiking. couple of nice trails to choose from. Fit ess obstacles are present along part of the route. Few places with shadow so be prepared for a very hot hike. Bring lots of water.

The scenery is gorgeous and the park is spacious. Its a wonderful place to camp!

The gator left me alone. The water was refreshing it wasnt hot this time.

Beautiful park. There are a lot of activities and the kids loved it. We stayed in one of the cabins. It had a nice view of one of the lakes and a big area to bbq and a fire pit. We took our bicycles to ride to the bigger lake and there’s a nice playground and beach area. We did see people swim in the lake (some with very small children) but I strongly recommended not to go swimming because there are alligators! It’s their home after all.The horse riding is an absolute must! There’s also some great fishing spots. We saw a lot of wildlife like deers, turkey, snakes, turtles, big spiders..... Very impressive and the landscape is absolutely breathtaking. If you are up for a bit of adventure, this is a great place to visit.

Pretty park. Small campground, but nice sites. Main activities are hiking, fishing, paddling.

Very well maintained state park all the staff and rangers friendly people with a great knowledge. Great for riding bike on the past weekend they have bicycle marathons activities was nice. Watching all the athletes. The park offers trails, kayak rental, horseback riding tours ,camping,sandvolleyball,bbq, cabana rentals and you could verify on the website for the fees. We fall in love. Great place we spot an alligator
