Discover a Quieter Side of RV Camping
When most people think of RV camping in Florida, they picture crowded resorts, traffic-packed coastlines, and high nightly rates. But Central Florida has a quieter, more scenic option—and it’s one that many RVers are now calling their go-to destination.
Welcome to
Butch’s Hideaway RV Park, a peaceful retreat tucked away in
Lake Wales, Florida. In this guide, we explore what makes RV camping in Central Florida unique, and why Butch’s Hideaway stands out as a hidden gem for snowbirds, weekend travelers, and long-term RV guests.
Why Choose Central Florida for Your RV Trip?
Central Location Without the Chaos
Lake Wales sits in the geographic center of the state, giving RVers access to:
- Orlando (60 minutes)
- Tampa (75 minutes)
- Winter Haven (30 minutes)
- LEGOLAND Florida (35 minutes)
From our park, you can easily take day trips to major attractions while enjoying the calm of a smaller town in the evenings.
Milder Weather, Fewer Storms
Unlike coastal areas, Central Florida often escapes the brunt of tropical storms. The region also benefits from slightly cooler winter evenings and less humidity during transitional seasons.
More Space, Less Crowding
RV parks in coastal regions often cram rigs together to maximize occupancy. Butch’s Hideaway takes a different approach. Our spacious sites and shaded lots provide privacy and comfort without the distractions of over-development.
What Makes Butch’s Hideaway a Hidden Gem?
Peaceful, Natural Setting
Surrounded by mature trees and open skies, Butch’s Hideaway offers a truly relaxing atmosphere. Guests regularly comment on the quiet nights, the shade from oak and pine trees, and the peaceful walks around the property. There is no road noise or resort-style chaos here—just a calm, clean, and well-maintained environment.
Full Hookup RV Sites
Our park offers:
- Full hookups (water, sewer, electric 30/50 amp)
- Clean, level pads
- Pull-through and back-in options
- Shaded sites available by request
Whether you’re staying a night or a season, you’ll find the hookups and space you need for a comfortable stay.

monthly RV site rates are some of the most competitive in the region. We also foster a sense of community with respectful neighbors and helpful management.
