Most people don’t even realize that you can stay inside Kings Landing. And, by inside, I mean behind the closed gates of this oasis. You can and don’t have to tent it unless your heart is set on camping. Kings Landing has five cabins inside that can be rented. Here are the ten reasons to stay at Kings Landing, Florida.
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure and privacy policy for more information.
1. Kayaks and Canoes Are Included in Your Stay
Renting a kayak from Kings Landing costs $59 daily for a single-person kayak. When you rent a cabin, kayaks, and canoes are included. Assuming you are not traveling solo, this alone is a reason to rent.
Cabin rentals though the week start at $135 a night! Close enough to the cost of renting kayaks.
2. Avoid The Crowds
Once onsite, you don’t have to launch from the central entry canal. You can take off morning or night and have the whole place yourself.
3. One Day At Kings Landing Is Not Enough
You need more than one day to see it all and do the north and south runs. Why drive back and forth when you can stay onsite?
4. The Wildlife Comes Out To Play
Once the park is closed, the river slows down. With virtually no kayakers and only locals, you see the wildlife come to life. We got to watch the gators right off of our dock. Look closely; you’ll see him (or her) towards the lily pads.
5. The Cabins Are Adorable
Each cabin is newly renovated, and they are packed with modern amenities. Each cabin has a separate blue glass fireplace and grill.
6. Fish From The Shore Or Dock
Here’s your chance if you want to fish, but not from a kayak. When you stay inside Kings Landing, you have full access to the river to fish all day and night. There’s even a fish feeder to ensure that the fish are there!
7. Invite Your Friends Over
There are restrictions on how many people stay in each cabin; you must disclose this when you book. However, you can invite your friends, assuming you adhere to the rules and don’t cause a ruckus.
We invited friends over and had dinner on the deck. And we invited the family to kayak with us.
8. You Don’t Need to Pack Coolers
When you stay onsite, you can skip all the cooler packing. Come back and have lunch at the cabin.
9. You Can Hike In The Park
Forget about taking a tour. If you stay onsite, you can hike at will.
10. RV and Trailer Parking Is Allowed Onsite
It doesn’t get any better than this. Suppose you’ve been on the road in your RV for a week or two and need a place to stay. Finding an area that has parking for RVs is challenging.
About The Cabins At Kings Landing
When you stay at Kings Landing, you have two choices in cabin rentals or tents. The Cabins are inside Kings Landing, and the campground is outside across the street.
Bear Cabin
This is the cabin we stayed in, and boy, did we might make the right choice.
Bear Cabin, Turtle Cabin, and Otter Cabin are connected and share the walkways and deck. This is not explained on the website. Fortunately, we were the only guests, so we had the entire place to ourselves. However, it could be a challenge if different groups book all three. You would be sharing an outdoor space.
If you score Bear Cabin, you’ve got the one at the front with the view. Bear cabin sleeps four comfortably.
Turtle Cabin & Otter Cabins
Both are set up and designed like Bear Cabin, but they face the garden—Vs.—the water.
Both Turtle and Otter cabins sleep four people comfortably.
Studio Waterfront Bungalow & Two Bedroom Waterfront Bungalows
Like Bear, Otter, and Turtle, these bungalows share common spaces like the deck and walkways.
The studio sleeps four, and the two-bedroom sleeps six.
Pro Tip: All the cabins are almost $100 per night more on the weekend. If at all possible, stay on weekdays.
