We have 3 acres right in the middle of town in New Smyrna Beach. It's a quiet setting behind Sacred Heart church, sandwiched between a large open field and the railroad tracks far in back behind trees.
We've worked hard to make it a cozy retreat - like setting where people can spend a few nights in an affordable manner just 5 minutes from the beaches and fun New Smyrna Beach attractions.
Biking, boating, sunning, fishing, paddle-boarding, kayaking, eating... all within a few minutes of your quiet retreat.
Our house is on the property but it's 200 feet away behind trees/bushes. It's a 100 year old house built from the wood of a church in NSB. Lifted up on a Coquina rock wall it is quite unique.
There is a large secluded area where your dogs can be run. We have dogs too but there's plenty of room to share.

Set on over five acres of private waterfront land with stunning skyline views of Downtown Orlando, our property offers a truly unique, boutique-style camping experience that blends natural beauty with refined comfort. This is not a commercial RV resort, but a private residential estate featuring grass-based RV and tent sites best suited for campervans, small to mid-sized RVs, travel trailers, and tent campers. Access is via a residential driveway with trees and a gentle incline, so oversized Class A rigs are not recommended. Guests enjoy thoughtfully curated amenities including shared access to the house (kitchen, living room, bathroom, and laundry machines), a private white sand beach, kayaks, tennis court, pool, a paddle board, and direct lake access. The atmosphere is relaxed, upscale, private, and welcoming, with respectful fellow guests, occasional ambient city sounds, and even Disney fireworks visible at night. Its ideal for couples, families, and travelers seeking a one of a kind Orlando stay rather than a traditional RV park. We’re located just off I‑4 for easy travel, with a Walmart, gas station, and public park directly across the street, making errands and exploring simple and convenient.

Absolute gem of a property. We had a wonderful stay and decided to tent camp, which turned out to be a great experience. Jason and Julian were excellent hosts and clearly take great care of the property. All amenities were clean, well-maintained, and readily available throughout the day.
Jason personally gave us a tour upon arrival, provided access codes, showed us where to camp, and even supplied power, which was greatly appreciated.
The property truly feels like a mini resort — private beach access, kayaks, a pool, and you can even see the Disney fireworks at night.
The other guests on the property were friendly and respectful as well. Overall, a fantastic experience with zero issues. I would highly recommend staying here.

We stayed here while in town for the Citrus Bowl. The hosts were super communicative, very welcoming and friendly. The property is well-maintained. There is a busy road nearby, but it didn't bother us (seemed like white noise).

Great stay. Lots of room for my dog to roam, and tons to see. Lots of animals, a full size pet pig and a family of goats with babies next door! Sean checked in on me and was available if I needed anything (which I did not). I had no issues with the 30a power. I will definitely be back!

My time at Lakefront Downtown Orlando was phenomenal! The hosts Julian and Jason were extremely friendly, and the space they provide is excellent. The house was perfectly clean, and had a nice kitchen to prepare some meals and chat a bit, a chilling living room to rest, a complete mosquito-proof swimming pool... And the designated camping/RV area was quite wide, plus the lake view (or even activities!) looked great.
Besides all that, and very important for me, the place is within walking distance to Camping World Stadium (where the festival I was attending was held): a very cheap ride, or a ~30 min walk. You also have a Walmart across the road, very convenient.
But above all, the ambient there was in the house with other RVs' and rooms' guests was super chill and friendly --in part I'm sure because of the great vibe of our festival, but also due to what Julian, Jason, and the house transmitted!

Most site have water and pwr which is a plus. No issues with no see ums at all in late sept.
I had a spot all the way in the back that was secluded and quiet.
If you not use to train noise then take a sleeping pill there are trains that pass by at any hour and the horn is loud.
Overall it's a great quiet location not to far from the beaches. To drive on the beach is 32 bucks for non-residents. Craig and his wife are real cool.
