Fisherman's Cove Golf and RV Resort

We stayed at Fisherman's Cove for about two months in June and July. The park has two sections, the A section nearest the office/marina and the B section which is on a hill offering views of Lake Harris. The lots in the A section are a little close together, the premium lots in the B section have a little more breathing room. The roads within the park were clearly labeled and appeared to be new asphalt. During our stay we saw several maintenance teams hard at work on the upkeep of the landscaping and grounds.

I loved having the ability to reserve, access bills, and pay online. Once we arrived, check-in was quick and easy. Our space was clean and level. Our neighbors appeared to be trailers that were stored for the summer - they were hooked up but we never saw anyone come by. The summer in Tavares is the off-season for tourists and snow-birds, so our stay was incredibly quiet.

We enjoyed taking morning and evening strolls around the grounds with our dog. We even walked to the nearby Lake Idamere park a few times. The park features a nature trail, pier, playground, and dog park.

Check-out was quick and easy - we'll definitely be back!

Centrally located between Eustis, Tavares, Umatilla, and Leesburg you will find this lovely RV resort on Lake Harris in Central Florida. Their busy season starts in Oct and goes through April with many guests staying throughout the months. Off season it is very easy to get a spot.

They are in the middle of a large number of renovations. All sites will have concrete pads by late 2019, New clubhouse is scheduled but behind schedule. 

They have 7 hotel units they advertise as vintage but they are just full of ancient furnishings and poorly lit - yet they will take you back in time to when the park first opened in the 50's. There are about 5 lodges and over 300 RV sites. Best sites seem to be up on the hill and they boast a beautiful view of Lake Harris and the 9 hole golf course. They are spacious but not private and there are no picnic tables at sites.

At the lower portion of the resort you will find the marina, 160 high and dry racks, about 60 wet slips, current clubhouse, bathrooms, brand new laundry facility and a very small store. They have golf clubs to loan if you want to check out their 9 hole course, there is a decent pool, gym, and showers. The hot tub is permanently out of commission. Grounds and facilities were very clean and you can tell that fresh painting had recently been done.

With all the small town Florida vibe in the area it is not hard to find the perfect place for dinner, shopping, exploring or just taking a boat out for some fishing. Staff is very knowledgeable of the area and can refer you to many resources. In busy season they have themed pot luck dinners, live music and other activities to keep everyone entertained.

With some of the best prices in the area you really can't go wrong with a stay here - unless you are looking for high end or luxury amenities. This home town park will make you feel like you just came home.
