Holiday Park

No tent camping!

The upside? Holiday Park, while not exactly a ‘holiday’ by any stretch of the imagination, provides very quick access to I95 (it’s literally just 2 blocks away). While this may be a positive for some, obviously being located this close to a major highway is a huge bummer at the same time, given all the street noise. 

But hey, if ease and convenience are important to you, than there are worse places than this. While smack dab in the middle of a concrete jungle, this place surprisingly offers a substantial amount of shade from all of the ancient Oaks and Magnolia trees that are scattered throughout. You’ll find that there are a handful of lanes to navigate around this decent sized property and while you’ll discover that there’s quite a number of RV’s that have rolled in just for the night, there’s a greater majority that have been parked here for quite some time and have no plans of leaving anytime soon. 

There’s all the basic hook-ups here for RV’s (water, electric and sewage) and even a decent-sized pool for guests (although, and you guessed it, the pool sits right next to the 4-lane road that is jammed up with traffic trying to get on I95, so if you don’t like all the honking, just flip up the dial on your ghetto blaster and you’ll be just fine. 

Insider’s tip? I’ll give you two. First, while there is no shortage of fast food restaurants (Wendy’s, BK, McD’s, KFC, IHOP, etc.) within just a short walk of Holiday Park, I recommend you go just a bit further off the beaten path to Moises Bakery for some excellent empanadas from Venezuela and Argentina (which are both completely different, BTW) or La Granja Parrilla & Seafood for some killer Peruvian food (ask for the Lomo Saltado and you won’t be disappointed). My only other tip would be to remind you that while you likely will be on ‘holiday’ I wouldn’t recommend you make your stay at Holiday Park more than brief. Get in late, check out early and get to your destination as quick as you can. 

Happy Camping!

We had a short trip for about a week and other than occasional noise from loud trucks and scooters it was pretty peaceful. The neighbors were nice and kept to themselves. I did not see the facilities but the clubhouse and staff were wonderful. Our lot was spacious and fit our 38 foot rig with ease and gave us ton of space as well. The town around has very nice restaurants in Tarpon Springs but some of the area can be a little sketchy. One thing I see is that the park itself was safe.
