Discover Lake Apopka RV rentals for memorable road trips
Lake Apopka is thought to be the fourth largest lake in Florida and is situated near Orlando. During the 1940s, it was a popular spot for anglers, although it soon fell into problems after an algae infestation and other issues from nearby facilities. Since then, it has been slowly restored back to its former grandeur.
There are still many fish that live in the lake today, making it a good fishing spot in the area. Lake Apopka flows into the nearby Apopka-Beauclair Canal, Beauclair Lake, and Dora Lake.

This was our first RV experience and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction! The team was prompt with delivery and took real time walking us through everything — no question was too small, and we felt completely comfortable and prepared before they left.Our two boys absolutely loved it. They thought the whole setup was the coolest thing ever, which honestly made the whole trip. Everything we needed worked great, and having the RV delivered right to our campsite made the whole experience seamless.We'll definitely be renting again. Highly recommend to anyone — especially families considering their first RV trip!
We both couldn't be happier with the camper and its owners. Everything was set up to perfection with lots of goodies and plenty of all the equipment needed for a happy stay. If any questions arose it was answered spot on. I would definitely use this camper next year. A solid 10 experience!
