We stayed here four nights. The pull throughs are limited with views of the pond and wide so plan ahead. The team there is welcoming and warm and very accommodating. The grounds are well maintained, attractive, and lots of palms! Plenty of activities and facilities. It’s close to the Navy base so fly overs of the Super Hornets are frequent but not loud. You can actually take side roads and get right to the runway if you want … Blue Angles practice in Jan! 

Wonderful stop over

We only stayed one night in a pull through but enjoyed the facilities. Park is very clean and has a good restaurant. They do have a lot of mobile homes but most are newer and well kept. Some RV’s look abandoned which is a shame. 
Nice dog park area with grass, could use water for the pups. 
Laundry and bathrooms were very clean. 
Pool area and restaurant, bar area is nice. We had dinner, wing’s were great burger was good but not great. Service was very good. 
Pull through site was narrow but had all we needed for one night. 
Looks like the workout facility is nice. 

Convenient and clean, nice park

$850 a month. Very expensive food and drink. There is a nice little store in Seeley though. Huge piles of slash and garbage mixed in at the south side.

Fair

Quiet Place to stay with a lot of amenities.

We have stayed here a few times now.  The best times are during the fall and winter months as the park welcomes back its community of Snow Birds coming from Canada and the northern US.  During those times the atmosphere in the evening is always festive, often with live music and an outdoor bar.  The staff are pleasant and accommodating.   It is also a pretty good overnight spot if you are passing through in the summer, but the temperatures in this area soar during the summer and are frequently above 110 degrees.  During summer time the pool becomes too warm to be refreshing, and the restaurant and bar are closed.  The rates are much lower in the summer.  This is also one of the few parks that accepts Passport America all days of the week.  Note that Passport America discounts cannot be used with pull-through sites.  The sites are fairly spacious and generally separated by hedges so you are not looking directly at your neighbor's rig.  Scenery around the park is beautiful any time of year, and for those who enjoy the RV Resort lifestyle the only reason to go out of the park during the snow bird season is for groceries.
