This all-year RV resort accommodates rigs up to 50 feet with full hookups and requires reservations for stays. The forested property provides extensive shade coverage across its sites, though campers should prepare for rough access roads leading into the facility. Staff maintains three laundry facilities throughout the grounds, with two connected to bathhouses for added convenience.
The resort centers around a large fenced swimming pool and clubhouse equipped with recreational amenities including a pool table, games area, and kitchen facilities. Daily activities keep the community engaged year-round. Michael C. noted the property has "lots of shaded spots" and praised the "friendly staff and campers" along with proximity to local stores and attractions. WiFi connectivity extends across the property for those needing internet access.
Mosquitoes and no-see-ums present seasonal challenges, particularly during warmer months when insect activity peaks in the Temple Terrace area. The campground welcomes pets and provides dump station access for those needing waste disposal services. For additional camping options in the region, explore campgrounds around Temple Terrace.
Monthly rates are available for extended stays, with electricity billed separately from the base camping fee. The combination of full amenities and shaded sites makes this resort well-suited for RV travelers seeking long-term stays in central Florida.
