Clarcona Horse Park — Attraction in Florida

Campers beware! The gate code is not for the actual gate! it is for the multiple tumbler locks they have on the gate itself at night! Bring a flashlight and hope you don't get kidnapped while trying to open 3 tumbler locks at night. Don't expect much. I am a full time RV'er and payed to stay two nights but only got one. On this rare occasion i left my RV and drove in town for a weekend event and choose to tent camp as the weather was going ro be nice. First night was fine, we went to bed early. Next day I notice little things. Our water wasn't working. I got some from the empty space next to us. The shower house shower curtains are actual just curtains. So cheap here they won't even use real shower curtains. Soaked my shoes. Then came the kicker. I got back at almost 10 the secound night and both gates were locked with a chain. i had a gate code and went back to the one with a key pad. nope. i got out of the car and went to look at the locks. nope. I went back to the main gate to make sure i hadn't misunderstood something. i had a gate code to some gate. but nope. i called the after hours/in case of emergencies number. it went to voice mail. i got out of the car to look at the locks. it was locked inside and damn near impossible to bring the 3 locks out side to see if maybe this was a tumbler lock. it was so dark and this road is an isolated place. i started to panic and left. we had to drive back to the event and slept in our car. i got up early to head back to pack our camp up and went to the office. the lady was very smug and didn't give a damn about us having to spend the night in the car. the locks were tumbler locks so camper beware if u try this place. they will not say a word about multiple tumbler locks you have to do in the dark late at night if you want to get back to your camp. you have a gate code but that is not to the key pad that you think it would be. unless you are an RV'er or a horsemen they don't give a damn about you. Bill Franklin Park at Turkey Lake is more affordable and has keypad locks with codes that work, nice playground, and security actually answers the phn...

This review is for the campground. We stayed at number 17 campsite. This one is short. I had my teardrop and Tundra it fit tightly. The site was almost flat with minor use of steppers for leveling. I parked my truck next to the camper to set the truck's tent. Water spigot worked and the shore power as well. The picnic table was in good shape and the grill, although small was in ok shape with the exception of some cleaning to do, which is expected due to use and being used by others and in the elements. This site was not shady. So the sun rays came through.

My advice to whoever is coming to here camp: If you are not equine/horse lover. Do not camp here as this is A Horse Park as well. I don't mind the horses. I like them, more in the wild than as a commodity or for performances . There is a radio/speaker with music and also an announcer while they do horses' performance. So if you want complete silence look somewhere else. I observed a Sheriff in the morning. I thought they were doing a routine route but no. A full time camper that I met previously in Moss Park told me someone broke in a pick up truck and stole a purse. He said there is a homeless encampment nearby and the site that they broke into, it was facing the West Orange Bike Trail. The campsites that are located facing the bike trails are on the top...

We really liked this no frills campground. It was simple and clean and pleasant. I gave it 4 stars for 2 reasons. There was no playground for the children which is a big deal to us. Although the bathrooms were fairly clean with 3 showers, there was no place to dry and dress privately. It would be nice if there were curtains to allow private dressing and a mat on the floor that keeps the ground, where you are standing just outside of the shower, dry. They also need a place to put your shower gel and shampoo. And a hook to put your towel or clothes. Pros: Very affordable campground.. By West Orange Trail where my boys and I would go walking and they would ride their longboards. Decent sites, mostly level and most have trees for shade. Each campsite has a big garbage container that they do a good job of emptying for you. Each campsite has a grill and a picnic table, water and electricity. Staff are pleasant and flexible. Overall a pleasant place to camp. We spent...
