I found this campsite through a friend. They sent me the link and it looked nice. On their website they had photos of the sites and the lake near by which was NOT fenced in. Upon arrival I noticed you have to walk to a certain path to even get down to the lake.
Pros

Decent restrooms
Cons
Noisy, noisy, noisy.
People leaving at all hours
Dogs barking uncontrollably at all hours
Close to highway
Sites are close to each other
No fire pits
Small sites

We found this campground here on Campendium. The price drastically helped our budget when taking the kids to Universal Studios and Harry Potter. As others have said, this city park is a short drive to the park.
Sites vary in how level they are. It seems like sites int he inner circle near the bath house were more level, but less private. Avoid site 12, it was very unlevel.
Bath house met our needs but was certainly not spotless. It also is was not temperature controlled, so we were dripping with sweat before we could dress after a shower.
Change machine did not work in the laundry room so come prepared.

A nice city run park that has reasonable priced sites. We paid $19 for a water hydro site. I expected it to have some traffic noise as the park is next to the freeway. You soon don't think about the noise and it becomes part of the background. We got to our site and found that the previous campers left dog poop everywhere. Found it on the bottom of our shoes. Needed to clean up two poop bags full. I don't blame the campground but the previous campers. The park has a swimming pool, disk golf, walking and biking trails. I gave it a 4 out of 5 because of the price. It's good value.

We stumbled onto this gem when we couldn’t get reservations at Disney’s Ft. Wilderness Campground for all of our stay in the Orlando area. And we are so glad we did! It is the perfect place to stay to visit Universal Studios and only a fraction of the price of the Disney property. It was also quieter than our “preferred” campsite at Ft. Wilderness and I would seriously consider just staying here and commuting to the Disney properties next time we’re in the area.
In addition to location, location, location Bill Frederick Park has lots of appeal in its own right. There is a nature trail, bike/walking path, kayaking, a swimming pool, fishing pier, disc golf, volleyball, horse shoes, playground and sports field.
The sites are spacious with large trees for shade. Free hot showers and there is a laundry onsite. The entrance is gated and you’re given a key code at check in for after hours access. There are 22 partial hook-up sites and 14 with full hook-ups. Many sites are large enough for any sized rig. There is also a primitive camping area and cabins.
We had 3 bars of 4G unboosted.

Update Jan 2018: We now have a 41' rig instead of our 37' rig and it was really tough getting through the campground's tight turns with trees at all the corners. Also, we've discovered that while some sites are pretty level, others are extremely sloped, we saw several class A motorhomes with their front tires more than a foot off the ground and a foot of blocks under their jacks. Pretty scary. We weren't able to get a full hookup site this time, so we used the bath houses. Showers were old, but relatively clean and very hot. There are three disc golf courses at the park. Rent discs from the office or bring your own and play for free. Also, the office accepts packages and US mail for campers.
Full hookup sites and beautiful park right in the city of Orlando! It's only about 5 miles away from Universal Parks with tons of shopping centers nearby. The park is quiet with a pool (closed when we were there), fishing pier, picnic areas, Frisbee golf, and nature trails. It is very dog friendly. All picnic areas are off-limits for pets but there are so many other areas that it isn't an issue. The sites are very shady with a fair bit of space between neighbors. The length of the sites are a bit short, we have a 37' MH and we had to park our car partly in the camping area so we didn't stick out in the road. The park does not have Wi-Fi but we had good signal with AT&T and Verizon. The roads in the park are fine but the road in the RV area is a bit narrow and winding so you do need to take it pretty slow. With all the trees and water nearby, there were a lot of mosquitoes so we did need bug repellent. Otherwise it's a fantastic place to stay. We would stay here again if we were in the area. We stayed in October 2014.

After looking all over Orlando for a good place to stay, we came across this park. Where most parks were $30-80/night, this little city park was under $20/night. We arrive late at night (after 8pm) and the park was closed. However, since we hadn't checked in that afternoon they called us and gave us a gate code to get into the park.
This is a small park with 36 RV sites on a one-way road. All sites are back-in and a significant percentage aren't level (pitched about 2-3 degrees). In order to make our complete stay (since we booked on short notice), we had to site-jump after the first night, but the first night put us on a site that made it impossible to level the coach. However, our sites after the first night were all relatively level.
Hookups included water and electric, with no problems at all with electricity. The campground is small, but the sites aren't all right next to each other. The road curves and weaves through the trees, giving a nice separation between sites. If they wanted, they could easily add another 15 sites to this park.
The campground is also at the end of the park near Turkey lake,with easy access to all the facilities. There's a large multi-use grass area next to the campground that's used as overflow camping if necessary.
Laundry is available on-site, and wash is $1.25 and dry is $1.00/cycle. The bathrooms/showers are pretty good, though they could use a few upgrades, better lighting and deep clean (but were kept up quite well).
Tips: If you plan to book at this park, be sure to book in advance. Sites 1-6 and 26-36 are the most level, but the best views come from sites 26-36.

If you want to bring your RV to Orlando and don't want to spend a fortune this is your best option. In addition to the cheap price you get lots of trees, a lake, a paved bike path, and two Disc Golf Courses. The park is also conveniently located near any kind of store you could ever want, and only a 30 minute drive to most of the Disney attractions.
Despite the large number of trees there is no privacy between sites, so try to get an exterior site so you don't feel like you're in a fish bowl. There is cheap onsite laundry, and old - but clean - showers with plenty of hot water. Overall this was a nice place to stay while we were in town for a little Disney fun.
