What to do
Fishing access: Many RV parks provide direct water access for fishing enthusiasts. At River Vista RV Park, which features boat-in access, campers appreciate the water activities: "Very nice campground and lots of amenities. Very clean and well maintained and very friendly staff."
Golfing opportunities: Several parks are located near golf courses for those seeking recreational activities. Encore Silver Dollar features a golf course on-site, making it convenient for campers who enjoy the sport. As one visitor notes, "We stay there four times over a couple of years. We have not see much of the park because we only arrive at night, plug in for ac, and in the morning we leave."
Beach proximity: The Bradenton area offers easy access to Gulf beaches. Campers at Encore Terra Ceia appreciate the location: "This place is 20 minutes away from several beaches and the TB Rays stadium, the Trop. The facilities were clean and we have a view of the pond with ducks."
What campers like
Pool facilities: Many RV parks maintain heated swimming pools for year-round use. At Lazydays RV Resort, guests enjoy the screened-in pool area: "The pool area is screened in and very clean. Will definitely stay again when in the area."
Concrete pads: Level, solid surfaces make setup easier for RVers. At Hidden River RV Resort, campers appreciate the quality sites: "This campground has 2 new camping areas with concrete pads and fire rings... the best area, in my opinion, is the lower area by the river and pool."
Security features: Gated access provides peace of mind for travelers. Pleasant Lake RV Resort offers enhanced security measures: "This is a beautiful place with beautiful views. Super clean everywhere. There is a lovely pool, billiard room, exercise and game room, etc. very easy to get to. There is a security gate. A code will be provided."
What you should know
Site spacing variations: Some parks have tight spacing while others offer more room. At Sun Lake RV Resort, reviewers note: "Sites were a little small but that was our only complaint." Another camper adds: "These tiny spots and very tight roads with no room for vehicles... it is priced way out of line."
Permanent resident sections: Many parks have areas designated for long-term residents. At Encore Vacation Village, campers should know: "Many full time residents with older park models." Another review mentions: "Be careful entering the park. Very sharp turns."
Internet connectivity: Wi-Fi quality varies significantly between parks. At Pleasant Lake RV Resort, one camper reported: "We did not have any luck getting wifi, but we have a Verizon Hotspot, and only one bar. To log in, there was a requirement to provide personal information, which we weren't comfortable with."
Tips for camping with families
Pet policies: Most parks allow pets but have specific restrictions. At Encore Winter Quarters Manatee, families with pets can take advantage of dedicated areas: "They have a dog park, and it is shady, which is needed in the FL heat, but not very kept up and clean."
Noise considerations: Highway proximity can impact noise levels at some parks. Winter Quarters Manatee is located near a major highway: "The only downside is that you are close to I75, and there is construction currently underway." Another reviewer adds: "right NEXT to I75.....noisy all the time."
Insect preparation: Some campsites experience significant insect activity. At Encore Vacation Village, campers warn: "This is a mosquito heaven!!! Being bug spray or candles! You will see a large amount of bugs in your area…. They used to spray. But now they don't."
Tips from RVers
Setup challenges: Site layouts may present difficulties for larger rigs. One RVer at Encore Winter Quarters Pasco describes: "I had a very difficult time parking my 37' foot travel trailer. If someone is parked across from you, you basically are stuck."
Utility placement: At some parks, utilities may require additional hoses or cords. A camper at Lazydays RV Resort notes: "Water and electric were located in the middle of the pad. The sewer was at the end of the pad, and we needed right at 20 feet of hose."
Water pressure management: High water pressure can damage RV plumbing systems. One visitor to Lazydays reports: "Water pressure was above 60 psi, so we needed a reducer."
