Best time to visit Lake Griffin State Park
The best months to visit are November through April, when cooler, drier weather makes hiking, fishing, and sitting outside the RV far more comfortable and mosquitoes are less active. Winter also brings peak birding as migratory species move through the marshes. Late spring and summer are hot, humid, and prone to daily thunderstorms, though campsites are easier to book outside the snowbird season. Hurricane season runs from June through November, so RV travelers should monitor forecasts in late summer and early fall.

Alan M. - May 2026
Had a great experience renting from Scott. The RV was easy to manage for our first time renting one and Scott was very easy to get in touch with if we needed anything.
G M. - Apr 2026
My wife and I had a fantastic experience! The camper is well maintained, clean and comfortable. Couldn't have asked for more. I would like to add that the a/c worked perfectly, given the Florida weather even during the holiday season. Stephanie was a dream to work with, she has a great personality and made sure that we were well taken care of.

How to get to Lake Griffin State Park
The park sits just off U.S. Highway 441 near Fruitland Park, roughly 55 miles (about 1 hour) northwest of Orlando and about 35 miles (45 minutes) south of Ocala. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the closest major airport for fly-and-rent RV travelers, with Orlando Sanford International (SFB) a closer alternative. The approach is flat Central Florida terrain with no tunnels, mountain passes, or steep grades, but drivers should watch for low-clearance live oak branches on the entrance road and tight turns inside the campground loop. Rigs should follow posted park routes rather than GPS shortcuts through residential streets.
