I called to make reservations to stay at this RV park. I asked what the pet policy was and Allie told me no dogs over 25 lbs. I told her I had a service dog and she was 60 lbs. Allie didn't care and told me my dog was not allowed. I told her she was breaking Federal Laws by not allowing me to have my service dog because she is over 25 lbs. She didn't care and said it was company wide policy. I called her the next day and she asked me if my dog was an emotional support dog or a service dog and did I have documentation. First thing is I had already told her my dog is a service dog and by Federal law has no right to ask me for documentation or any kind of proof. Again, she still didn't care. I am a Disabled American Veteran with a service dog and was not allowed to stay because my service dog is over 25 lbs. These people discriminate and I plan on Filing a Federal Lawsuit.

It was a great park. I lived there for three years. Sold my house right on time I knew something was up somebody could be so evil I they supposed to believe in God and screwed the people over. Specially, don’t let anyone know. it shows you richer get richer and poor gets poor screw the poor. And that’s why there’s so much homeless out there I believe in karma one day.

Great customer service from their staff, maintenance is always around to help you on anything you need. Clean, safe and a great atmosphere where you can enjoy vacation or long stay. Alli and the other office staff will take care of you booking needs.

Very nice park! Was very well priced until went under new ownership! No longer affordable for long term stays!

So traffic noise in this park feels like you are sleeping next to a running dump truck.

Good place to stay. Not to bad on price. Just some of the spots feel like you're in a parking lot.

Great Campground! The Lady at the check in was very friendly. Everything is nice and clean! The Bathrooms/Shower house is brand new renovated and spotless clean. You hear the traffic at night but it's not to bad. We would come back. Thank you

Another great stay at the Ponderosa. The staff are so helpful and professional. We have stayed there several times for short visits. The bath house is sparkling clean. The sites are wide enough for your rig and at least one car if not two. We get plenty of tv stations just by using our antenna. Yes there is road noise but we just turn on our fan at night to sleep. The location is convenient to so many things including the little bakery/take out right down the street. We will be back!

We stayed 1 month from early March through early April 2022. Staff and residents were all very polite and friendly. Laundry room and bathrooms were well maintained / clean. I suggest to bring your quarters bc change machine didn't work when I tried it. I do wish the office would e-mail a reservation confirmation but, they don't. We had no problems checking in and no extra charge checking out 30 min late due to a dead battery. It is a pretty small campground. It has quite a few seniors who ride their 3 wheel bikes around and also a mix of younger seasonal and permanent residents. I visited the pool a couple of times in late afternoon and it was not crowded at that time. There were some families and kids but not a lot in the park. We felt quite safe there which is very important. Much Safer I think than staying at Walmart in Orlando or Kissimmee like one guest recommended for a 1 night stay due to noise from the turnpike. I guess the campground is about 75% t o 85% permanent or 6 month seasonal rentals. Quite a few nice looking small RV size homes with a porch or sunroom. Some new and some older. I'm guessing they have approx 20 short term rental spots. I did see 1 tent trailer which was nice bc that is how I camped as a kid. Most of the nightly, weekly or monthly sites are on the side next to the fL turnpike which is maybe 50 to 75 yards away. It is pretty loud but electricity is included in a monthly or shorter rental and if we shut the windows and ran the fan only or AC it masked a lot of the noise at night. During the day when we were not trying to sleep the noise was noticeable but much less bothersome and we were away a lot of days. The turnpike traffic doesn't reduce much until 2 or 3 AM and picks up about 7AM. I started looking about 2 months before our early March arrival. It was hard to find any spot even near the end of "peak season" near St Cloud or Kissimmee. I think the county and state park weekends are fully booked many months in advance. Many Orlando/Kissimmee/St Cloud Campgrounds are almost fully occupied by 6 and 12 month guest. Some said to call back 2 weeks before I was arriving to see if they had any spot because they had no idea when their long term guests might leave. I wasn't about to wait until 2 wks from arrival to try to reserve a spot. Another nice "RV Resort" told me they did spots for "Transient" guest and might have opening if I check back later so, I asked how many "Transient" spots they had and the answer was 2 spots. Being 98% booked by full time guest they are really a waste of my time trying to find a "Transient" spot when they have no idea when guest plans to leave. I'm thankful the Ponderosa RV park does maintain quite a few sites for the RV community looking for something between 1 day and 6 months with decent pricing for stays less than 6 months. And will take reservations instead of waiting for someone to leave. It may not be convenient to ride a bike to stores but, I had a car and had no problem with the distance to most places I was going in Orlando or St Cloud. Places like Lowes or Home Depot were probably 10 to 15 min away by car and we could drive almost anywhere in Orlando in 35 min or less with tolls or 45 min without tolls excluding rush hour delays I did see some close by overnight RV camping (I think maybe without Elect, water or sewer) at the Osceola Heritage park just 3 min away on Bill Beck Blvd, I didn't research it yet but, I'll consider that spot if I need an overnight or very short term stay. They might have Elect but I'm not sure. But, if I need a longer stay, I'll probably be back at Ponderosa. Many other parks had no idea when they might have an opening. Also, one other park told me if they did have a transient site available, it would be at the daily $60 or more rate and they didn't discount for a wk or month stay like Ponderosa does. So, I challenge you to find a better RV park in this area for a week or month sta

On the plus side the restroom bldg clean. Pool looked clean but small and crowded. Pet friendly but nowhere to really walk them. Site is a parking lot in spitting distance to Florida tpk. Could not sit out because of noise. Could not sleep because of noise. Might as well have been at Daytona speedway during a race. If you need only an overnight skip this one and boondock at Walmart. No rec room or exercise room. Not really close to anything. No sense having a bike as you can walk the entire place in about ten minutes. Live and learn.

Great RV Park. Clean, friendly, right beside I75. So convenient and so worth the stay. Go visit Buc-ees 1 exit away. Great food just east of here in the town area. Publix too.

Nice place and nice area, conveniently located close to shopping, pharmacies, restaurants, gas stations and to the airport. Had some minor problems with ants, power and there is some road noise but other than that it was a great experience overall.

My parents have lived here for 4 years and so far it’s been great for them!! We visit from Indiana and my boys enjoy going. Bathrooms and showers are clean. Pool is always clean as well and my boys love it! Everyone is kind! Office ladies are sweet and kind as well. Location is nice as well.

A great RV park. The staff are very accommodating, the lots are big and have picnic tables at most, and the amenities are clean and well kept. Has a swimming pool. Close to all the action, about 25 min from downtown Disney and the theme parks. There is some road noise outside from the highway, though it is muted by the trees and cannot be heard inside. Well worth the stay.
