JULY 4 BLOCK
The July 4 holiday block which is from July 3 - July 7, 2025, has limited availability for both cottages and RV campsite reservations. Due to the high volume of requests, and to be fair to all guests, please be reminded that this holiday block is one reservation per household/sponsor. Either one cottage or one RV. Please feel free to check online as we may experience cancellations closer to the arrival date.
MCO 5530.13
To comply with the provisions of MCO 5530.13, PMO Gate Sentries will be checking all visitors requesting access to base ensuring they are in possession of a REAL ID compliant ID. Please be prepared to present a REAL ID, U.S. Passport, Enhanced Drivers License, or a combination of documents listed upon accessing base. Failure to have the listed documents will result in denial of base access; please confirm with base access that you are eligible to access base prior to making any reservation at any of the recreational lodging facilities. A reservation at the facilities does not grant base access and unfortunately, reservation cancellation or modification fees will still apply.
