This place was really beautiful. The views of the lake and the surrounding trees were serene. I love parks like this. Lots of beauty, but small and quiet. There are only about 15 spots. They are fairly spaced out, and with the trees it gives you a little extra sense of privacy. I stayed in site #4 and to be honest I was really lucky to find an availability from what I heard. This park fills up fast and usually far in advance. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well kept. A little older, but overall this park is really well maintained. Howard from the park office was honestly just great and so helpful. I called in advance when I was on the way, and he made sure I understood how to find the main office to check in. He also helped me when I had a minor issue with my camper while trying to pull out after my stay. Traveling alone is fun and exciting, but also nerve wracking when things go wrong. Howard and some other park workers jumped in to help immediately and really saved the day! I will definitely be back. I enjoyed site #4 on the canal side, but site #9 with the lake views is what I am targeting for next time. A big bonus of Trimble Park for me is that it is pet friendly. Not all the Orange County parks are. There is close access to town and stores. I also drove 20 minutes or so and spent the day at Rock Springs which is in Kelly Park. This was fairly close and a lot of fun. Make sure you call Kelly Park in advance to discuss the times and how to plan properly, as the spring fills up very early and they close the gates for the day. Beware of the bugs at the campground, but they can be expected when staying anywhere outside. Especially near water! I was a little worried about this, but honestly it really wasn't that bad. I had a Citronella candle going, along with some coils. I also brought bug spray, and with the fire burning I hardly noticed them. If you're a true adventurer, bugs are "small tings."

Only 15 sites, some have lake views, we stayed at site 11 which had great views of lake Carlton, BBQ, fire pit, picnic bench and water and electric hook ups. Theres also a boat ramp (although closed for renovation whilst we were there), children’s play park and around 2 miles of hiking trails. Sites were good sized and private separated by shrubbery and trees. Site 11 is opposite the shower block which was also very clean and not busy or noisy. The site is a 10 min drive to Mount Dora and a great location to explore Lake County, Florida. Overall highly recommend staying here !
