We came here straight from Hampton Tract in the Green Swamp, early in our first year on the road. It was cheap and close to Orlando. It was also one of the hardest sites we've ever had to get into.
Getting in: the wooden posts
Moss Park lines its roads with short wooden posts, and they block pretty much any attempt to maneuver a big trailer.
Our site was a back-in, and there wasn't much space in front of it to set up the turn. We had to work the rig backward with almost no room to correct. It was very difficult.
If you're in anything long, this is not the park for you. We would not call it big-rig friendly at all.
The site
Once we were in, the site itself was nice. It's shady and green, with big oaks all around. We had a fire pit and used it.
The trees come with a catch. One of them hung right over the top of our RV. To climb the ladder onto the roof, Nathan had to push a big branch out of the way first.
Starlink
Starlink worked okay for the most part. The rig didn't have much open sky around it, so Nathan moved the dish around until it found a spot where it wasn't hitting too many trees.
Ants
This is where an ant colony moved into our RV. The park has a lot of ants. Spraying your jacks and anything else touching the ground when you set up might keep them from moving in. Everything we've learned about ants is in our guide to keeping bugs out of your RV.
The wildlife
The best part of Moss Park was the nature. Sandhill cranes walked around the campground like they owned it, right past our truck and the picnic table.
Would we go back?
No. The fire pit and the cranes were fun, but between the back-in, the tree on the roof and the ants, it was too much work for a rig our size. A smaller rig might have an easier time. If you're pulling 40 feet, look somewhere else.
FAQ
Is Moss Park big-rig friendly?
Not in our experience. Wooden posts line the roads, so there's very little room to maneuver, and backing our 40-foot fifth wheel into the site was close to impossible.
