The Glades Resort began as a private country club in the ‘70’s by land baron Joe B. Hendry with a hotel, marina, golf course, and a fine club house - which was reputed to host card games for such magnates as Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, who resided in nearby Fort Myers. Joe B’s son Joel Hendry took the baton and created the Branding Iron Steakhouse at our club house. Following this era, the park transitioned and expanded into an RV Resort. Within the last five years the new ownership has upgraded the Park’s existing facilities and added a host of new sites, buildings, and recreational facilities. The upcoming season has plans for 100 more RV sites, a 1 megwatt Solar Farm, and such new amenities as a Doggy Spa, Kayaking Loop, Community Bread Oven, and Golf Cart Drive In Theater!
Our mission at the Glades Resort is to provide our guests with an engaging, private, and breath taking natural environment in which to reside. Our natural, biodiverse setting offers many outdoor activities including outdoor photography, golfing, boating, a bounty of outside gaming, biking and hiking on our nature trail and in neighboring preserves, swimming, horseback riding, fishing, bird watching and more. Just the diversity of large birds include Sand Hill cranes, Wood storks, a variety of herons, egrets, owls, eagles, anhinga, limpkins, caracaras, and more.
Although you are in the country, you will never be lacking for meeting new friends at The Glades RV Resort, Golf and Marina. The Glades RV Resort offers comfortable accommodations in our cabin and park model rentals, as well as park model sales. Come to The Glades RV Resort, Golf and Marina for a day, weekend, week, month, season or a lifetime.

ScoutWe had an exceptionally unpleasant experience due to the pet policy being misrepresented. We paid in advance, their policy, for the entire month of February. We had to sign a document stating the payment was not refundable. Before signing, we read through the policies that affected renters, like the pet policy and did not see anything out of line with other RV parks. We set up our exercise pens for the dogs, like we've done at every RV park for the last 30 years. We were informed that exercise pens violated their policy. We had not seen that and asked that it be shown to us. They showed a construction policy that stated owners were not allowed to build a fence on their property. We had not built anything on their property, but they maintained that an exercise pen was a fence and had to be taken down. Our dogs are quiet and love to bask in the warm sun. It felt like a cruel expectation for them to have to stay in our RV 24/7 for a full month. They suggested that we could tie our dogs out on the lawn, but they are escape artists and we could not risk them getting away. We again stated that we were not in any way violating their policy. They were very indifferent. We could not put our pets through being confined to and RV, so we immediately left. They refused to refund our money, offer a stay at another date or even offer any kindness at all. This is truly the worst experience and poorest treatment that we've ever had at an RV resort.

Great lil place. Staff is very friendly. Small clubhouse with laundry, pool table and dart board. Neighbors were great. Mostly long term snowbirds. Few double wide trailers with full timers. Hookups are great. I would recommend.

So, we were here a bit long term in the summer. Staying here in the summer is as bad as being in Vermont in winter. You need a reason to be there and sadly we did.
First off, waking up to lions roaring and bonobos scream in the morning was freaking amazing! I will treasure this memory for the rest of my life.
The facilities are aging but are clean. The ladies in the front office were awesome and accommodating. We purchased a new RV while there and they had no issues moving us and making sure we were good with moving up from a 30 Amp to a 50 Amp site.
At $99/night it is expensive and by not having the facilities of a KOA Holiday and being so far away from the Highway as a KOA Journey I can't give it 5 stars but, it is damn close.

This campground is only an hour away from most spots in South Florida, but it feels much further removed. We were able to get a reservation for tent/van camping the same day. There are obviously some folks who have planted down long-term here, and it helps the campground feel like a community. The gorgeous water views and walking trail are the perfect way to spend an early morning. I look forward to coming back here, it is a real gem for South Florida residents.

Several run down travel trailers with full timers living here. Packed in tight. Most have less than 12’ between them. The rec center is out of order and the pool is cold. The people living here are very nice. They include you in everything. Area is safe and clean. $1725 from 1-16-23 to 2-15-23. Utilities included. Full Hook Up.
Traveler
Though the overall RV Camp is well organized, secure, and offers all the amenities (laundry, hookups, water, showers, and even an entry code), the tent camping is not ideal for me. Just my personal opinion, but I prefer tent camping in a quiet and dark area. But there are two towering lights on all night. Also you are near a freeway that goes and goes. The separation between tent sites is pretty ambiguous too. One table and one huge group fire pit and two BBQ for all tent campers. There is a woodsy trail running past the official tent area which has people coming and going giving the tent site the feel of being in the middle of a trail.
If it were me, I'd separate the tent site from the trail to reduce traffic. and also expand the tent site to include some if the nice looking, secluded little spaces past just the one stretch for tents only. I'd make those lights motion detecting instead of on all night. I'd set up several separate, private spots for each tent with its own table, fire pit.
But if you just need a cheap place to sleep and don't care about all that other stuff, then by all means.
Again, I am not criticizing this place. Just my personal opinion.
Again, this is a great spot because of the security and amenities but it's first and foremost an RV Park. The tent camping is an afterthought.
The place even has WiFi!

We stayed in the RV side of the campground. Arrived at 745 literally before closing. Called the office ahead to let them know we are almost there , the staff was super nice. Checked in with no issues, staff even gave us an option to checkout another site if we liked more we can take it. We stayed at out booked site. It’s very dark no lights . I wish the sites were marked with a reflective tape. Very quite and chill atmosphere. This is not a party spot. Sites are pretty roomy and you are not on top of your neighbors.Each site comes with fire-rings, full hook up (rv sites), tent sites do not have hook ups and a picnic table. The river is so beautiful in the morning filled with fog. There’s a swimming depot in the park , looks like a man made lagoon. You can rent kayak/canoe and paddle on the river. A new add on was a food truck , looks like a good menu will try next time. There’s a small preserve with a Boardwalk to explore. There’s no pool or playground. This is a no frills campground but i love it because you can disconnect,relax and view wildlife. Reception here is actually amazing. 20 mins away in Labelle there’s a bomb brewery if you wanna explore a nearby town.
Traveler
The campsites are not spread out at all and the campground is nowhere near any types of wilderness. It is pretty much an RV park on the outskirts of town. The campground was packed!!
Guide
We spent the winter here after usually being near the beach. It was a fun place to be to experience a different ambience. The city of LaBelle has winter events like their Swamp Cabbage Festival and parade. They have a nice rodeo grounds with impressive events. The RV park itself has tons of activities and pickle ball courts etc. Owners friendly. We don’t have a pet, but everyone seems careful with their dogs. It’s a very seasonal park and pretty new. They just finished a second new laundry and showers building this 2023 year. Very fair prices. But must have a less-than-ten-year-old rig.
TravelerIf you are wanting the outdoors style camping, not here. This is more of a resort then campground. Great staff, many amenities, and overall a good stay. Should have looked into it more as this is more of an RV park, and less of a true campgrounds.

The camp at Bear island is has a good location to camp with tents and rvs with clean bathrooms with toilets no showers no electrical or water for rvs. Even though it looks close off 75W you have to go through the loop to actually get to the camp ground. There is a mix of campsites raging from a loop to a straight road with camp sites on each side. Wildlife includes white tail dear, black bears and alligators. Non were present near the camp site but we saw them on our way back on the preserve grounds.
Guide
If you want to see animals and be in the middle of wildlife this is good for you. We really liked it because of the lake view. The RV spot is right at the lake. Would recommend :)
Traveler
Tent campers beware- this is a cute little spot with full hookups available at most sites and charging station available for the rest. Mosquitos are pretty crazy onc the sun goes down and the wind is in believable. I had my tent tied in every way imaginable to try and keep in from blowing away. I have 2 nights left here and I really don’t think it’s going to survive.
ScoutWe gathered our large family with relatives and wemt up to Fisheating Creek for a camping weekend. We have been previously and loved the more secluded camping spots. There was plenty of room in the site for us to spread out while being surrounded by nature. They have a decent amount of amenaties for both tent and rv camping, though we usually stick to the tent areas, so I cant really speak to the rv zone. Many of the sites are grouped in large clearing and connected to their neighbor sites, but we chose the hike in sites right against the river bank. We fished, rented kayaks and played outdoor games, with an evening of marshmallow roasting to finish. It was beautiful, peaceful and excellent, we will return again!
LegendFish Eating Creek Outpost : Trails and canoe/kayak shuttle provided Water is a bit low right now. There is a 2 mile trail beginning in the campground. There is also a 6.7 mile trail within a short drive from the campground. I have included a map for this trail in photos.

P1-6 are my favorite sites here. They offer RVs more of a camping kind of atmosphere as they are a little more secluded. Not all have electric/sewer, so better check. They are under trees with moss hanging from them. Not all sites in P1-6 will accommodate a tall rig!

WP Franklin Campground, Alva, Florida. Army Corp of Engineers Lock
WP Franklin Campground is located fairly close to Fort Myers, FL (west on Rt.80) so you are within 45 minutes to the Gulf Coast beaches (during off-season) and much, much longer during winter months. However, if you enjoy paddling or boating…you are there! Short distance hiking is closeby, as well as MTB trails.
I will begin with the positives…
•Wonderfully nice hosts
•Impeccably clean grounds, sites, docks, restrooms
•Manicured grassy areas
•On its own boomerang-shaped river island
•Boater's/Fisherman's paradise
•Charcoal grill ridiculously spotless…along with the fire pit…spaciously situated on clean, raked pea gravel
•Covered picnic table
•Long, level concrete parking pad, angled for back-in
•Water hookups/Electric at every site
•7/8 of all sites are on the river
•Mature, quiet crowd
•Several boat camper docks with electric/water
•Relatively close to Gulf Coast beaches, shopping and nightlife
•Regional park nearby offers trails (but was affected by hurricane Irma)
•Regional mountain bike trails nearby
•Water is ten feet from your site…slide your paddle craft in and go…or back your power craft down a ramp in the center of the campground
•Multiple docks, shoreline and locks to fish from
The not so positives for tent campers…
•Absolutely no privacy…at all. Palm trees are lovely but offer no barrier between neighbors
•Small campground…no trails…just surrounding water
•Literally on top of your neighbor
•No need for a nightlight. All night Streetlights penetrate tent walls/fly
•Noisy! Air traffic from RSW is nonstop, road traffic from Rt 78 and/or Rt 80 seemed nonstop (and technically it's not season yet), yappy lap dogs
•Expensive for no amenities at $30 a night
•Tent is 4ft. from campground roadway…sounds/feels like vehicles are in the tent with you as they pass
•Staying at site 27, overflow parking is ten feet away…more noise
•Prepare for mosquitos and chiggers (not bad, but just bring your repellent)
I continue to try local Campgrounds in SW Florida…so this is an attempt to see what my state has to offer. I ordinarily seek out the solitude of faraway mountain states and more rustic/primitive/backcountry camping options. This was akin to sleeping in my backyard…correction…my yard is far quieter and less busy…offering more privacy
For the RV/Camper set…this must be popular and enjoyable, even though I wasn't contented. If you are an RV/Camper…and bring your toys…using this as a base camp to launch activities…there are plenty of areas nearby to explore and enjoy the wild…on land and water!
This is purely personal, based on what I like and dislike when I desire to visit campgrounds. I will not return, but only because I am not an RV/Camper type of person.. Plenty of reviewers give this Campground five stars, so take my comments for what they're worth. Regardless, bring your earplugs, noise cancelling headphones or heavily insulated RV/camper…or revel in the noise.
Tomorrow is another day and another Campground!
TravelerWhen we were pulling in we noticed a train of 7-8 RV’s and trailers leaving. Didn’t think much of it. Went ahead and checked in, got to our camping site, etc. That’s when we noticed that it was literally swarming with mosquitos. Pulled out 3 thermacells but the swarms were so bad they didn’t even touch it. Couldn’t even open the trailer door for a split second without 10 mosquitos flying in. Ended up packing up and leaving within the hour and getting a nearby hotel for the night. Manager refused a refund, and suggested we go to John Prince Park in the future. Have never had such a terrible experience with KOA in the past. 0 stars if I could.

Panther Pond: We really liked this quiet campground with very secluded sites. More sunshine and solar at Okaloacoochee Overflow and Hunt Camp. To Do: Nearby trails here to talk of grass to comfortably walk in. Either not much recent horse traffic or they just have not been mowed. Either is probably due to this year’s wet winter .
Make sure to make the 30 minute drive to the board walk on Sic Island Dr. Short walk to the short boardwalk. Outstanding way to leave with a taste of the slough.

Need to bring-your-own fire ring, but wasn't informed of this requirement until we arrived
No picnic table at site upon arrival. Notified camp office who advised one would be provided first thing next morning by park maintenance.
Day 2. No table. Stopped by camp office right before noon and reported no table delivered to site. Then the excuses started from Jodi, the park manager…only one maintenance man…picnic tables are disappearing overnight and that’s a problem…now have 3 sites that need a picnic table…staff believes other campers see a unoccupied site and drag table to their site…there were 63 tables when the season started… No mention of when picnic table will be delivered to site. We offered to help get it. Told maintenance man is working on it.
Day 3. No table.
Day 4. Stopped by office at 9am for an update on when to expect a table. Spoke with Jodi again. She had no update. Same excuses as I heard on Day 2 but she did mention that NEXT YEAR she was going to need to anchor the tables at each site so they don’t disappear. I mentioned seeing 4 tables at the firepit area. She said we are welcomed to take a table from the community firepit area and move it to our campsite but those are needing replacement boards badly(her words).
Never got a table. Just too heavy for us to drag one from the firepit area to our site, which was a bit more than a half block and the maintenance man never delivered one.
