You can get a RV site through Westgate which is more of a field or through River Ranch RV Resort which has full hook-ups. We stayed on a waterfront site at River Ranch RV Resort and it was perfect! We were able to fish right off the dock at our site, there was a fit pit and grill, as well as seating outside (each site could be configured differently). At Westgate River Ranch (walking distance from our site but still got a golf cart) we went to the rodeo on Saturday night, did a swamp buggy ride, skeet shooting, petting zoo and rode a mechanical bull... and there was still more we could have done but ran out of time since we still wanted to relax some 🙃 If you're looking for a great site with tons of activities available River Ranch RV Resort is the place for you!

Campground Review: Sunshine Travel RV Resort is an encore/thousand trails campground. The grounds are very well maintained with lots of amenities like pool, horseshoe, shuffleboard, Mini gold course, clubhouse with restrooms and an attached laundry facility. Since we were there for a soccer tournament, it was nice to have a place to wash the stinky uniforms in between games. We never saw any staff because the office is closed on weekends which posed a small problem when we had an issue in the laundry room. Other than that, it was a nice reasonably priced place to stay with a variety of campers, permanent residents and cabins for rent. Gear review: I wore my Xero Umara Z-trail shoes all weekend. It is my second pair to receive and I love them. So comfortable you hardly know they are there. No rub areas or hot spots from long use. I have worn them in a kayak, riverbed, soccer field, running track and just around the house. Highly recommend giving them a try!

There are limited options for affordable camping in this part of Florida, so plan to book your stay here a while in advance as it fills up. We are lucky to snag two nights here on our way to Miami. Lots of hiking options and some really nice views. The RV park has full hookups and is almost completely filled with older adult campers high end big rigs. Clean facilities and level sites though.
GuideThis review relates to River Ranch RV Resort, which is next to the Westgate property. I would personally not stay at the Westgate RV since it is basically just an open field with RV spots.
River Ranch RV next door is a beautiful place with fantastic spots. We stayed in spot 323 which had its own swing and fireplace. Our 37 ft rig fit perfectly and five year old loved riding bike around the park. Everyone was super friendly and I recommend renting a golf cart, though expensive at $60 a day,
Be aware of telephone phone reception. At our spot we could not get any reception with ATT. After buying a Verizon hotspot down the road in Lake Wales, we were able to WFH.a
Would highly recommend this spot in Central Florida.
Guide
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.

OK, the many RV parking lots claiming to be a ‘resort’ IMHO don’t ever live up to the hype – they simply set the expectations at an all-time high and then fail to deliver, but Treasure Coast RV Resort, perfectly situated between Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie (excellent location puts it just 1 mile to both 95 and FL Turnpike) delivers in spades.
To begin with, despite the first impressions you might have of the place given the war-torn side street you’ll have to take north to access this location and the obfuscated sign that likely will have you drive right by the entrance, once you do make your way here, you’ll be impressed as soon as you turn in. The welcome reception / manager’s office feels like a luxury resort welcoming lounge (minus being greeted by Mr. Rourke and Tatoo serving up a tropical drink with an umbrella in it). Once you get checked in, the front desk staff will ensure you are properly deluged with all sorts of local information as well as vitals on the campground itself.
The pads you’ll be parking on are newly poured concrete and the whole place is landscaped to full effect. Behind the welcome reception is the community pool (and hot jacuzzi – bonus points!), which is pretty amazing (and also feels brand spanking new). Beyond this, the entire grounds are surrounded by a good size pond (where I believe swimming in is frowned upon). All the traditional hook-ups are offered (30/50 electrical amps, water, sewage, etc.) and amenities such as picnic tables and community grills as well as free WiFi and cable. There’s a clubhouse that has ping pong, a billiards table and a few card playing tables. The restroom / shower facilities are incredibly clean and overall excellent and there’s also a coin-operated laundr-O-mat.
One of the best features of the property is that it is entirely gated and there’s a security gate where you’ll have to swipe to gain access. While there’s not much in the way of foliage around each of the sites (you’ll have complete visibility to your neighbors – OK, in reality, to the whole neighborhood) but aside from this, you’ll find plenty of space between you and the other RV’s here.
Insider’s tips? While there’s a ton to see and explore within the surrounding area, I highly recommend exploring Okeechobee, Hutchinson and Jupiter Islands, Jensen Beach and for excellent kayaking, head on over to Sewall’s Point, but get there early before the crowds make it difficult to get your flotation device in the water.
Happy Camping!
GuideWe actually got a spot at RRRVR (river ranch RV resort) which is on the backside by the smoke house restaurant. It was lot 196 and it was FANTASTIC! River ranch has so much to do. Rodeos, food, putt putt, petting zoo- and tons more. A great family venue. Will definitely be back.
Guide
This is a basic KOA with full hook ups. It’s an older facility located in town. There’s a grocery store within walking distance. It’s not my idea of a great camping spot but meets the need when passing thru or visiting someone in the area. Nice staff.
Traveler
On US1 about 5 to 10 miles from Beach and groceries. Nice shaded dirt camp site. Mixture of overnight and long term campers. Only stayed 2 nights. Watched a rocket launch from out campsite.
Guide
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.
Ranger
Never stayed here but visited the location for my sister. Clean park is definitely geared for the over 55 crowd. Close to major hwy so road noise. Staff was friendly answered all my questions. Did not see this as a weekend retreat as long term residents make your feel uncomfortable.
Traveler
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.
Scout
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.
Scout
Recently built new bathrooms, double dump station. Water front sites and a couple full hook up sites. We live close by so this is a perfect staycation place for us.

The Savanna’s campground is just a few miles up the road from our home and a great place for a quick last minute weekend outing. The park is beautiful. There are trails to bike or walk along the nature preserve. The sites have full hook ups a fire pit and a picnic table on them. I recommend this as a great weekend getaway.
GuideI almost didn't want to review this amazing place. I wanted to keep it a secret.
If you like kayaking and uniquely Florida nature, this is it. This is paradise. List marshlands with twists and cuts for paddling. Birds you never knew existed. Great fishing. And of course, alligators. I could live there, easily.
There are both primitive and full hook-up sites, hot showers and even laundry facilities for longer stays. Very close to main roads should you need anything.
LegendSite 36. Very long and roomy. 38 ft class A had no problems. Roads wide with no trees blocking. Full hook ups, paved, but no shade. Restrooms are spotless, and have laundry. Plenty of walking and biking trails. Going to the river campground, you pass the railroad. There are plenty of bikers there for the trails.

ScoutHands down this is the best RV part we have ever found and we’ve been everywhere! The sites are roomy, easy to get in, level,and the entire park is manicured!This is a great place to spend the winter season and easy to make friends. In a normal year , not 2020, there is always things going on like bingo, ice cream sundaes, seasonal dinners, and breakfasts. Once you get a spot your not going to want to let it go.
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 discovered this place on a vacation trip to see a friend on Hutchinson Island in Fort Pierce FL. We are now camping here seasonally in a 35 ft Class A RV. There's a large pool, a good-sized general / convenience store with all the essentials you might need, and a full restaurant right on site. The RV sites vary in size and set-up, most are level, most have a concrete patio. most have full hook-ups. There are also a number of "villas" (short, single-wide manufactured homes) that people either rent for an extended stay, or own, interspersed throughout the park. Many people live here year-round, and even more live here for three or six months during winter. There are 3 rustic cabins and a few spaces for tents. While this is billed as a "family" resort, most of the longer-term campers are retired, or "digital nomads" that work remotely. There are a few families with kids, and a few people like us who don't have children but are younger than retirement age. It's a good mix. There are adult activities - Bingo, karaoke, jam sessions, trivia night, pickleball, tennis, shuffleboard, Pentaque, cornhole, basketball, crafts (for adults), and more. Short stays are not cheap, but longer stays are pretty affordable considering the great pool and all there is to do. Oh, there are fireplaces at the premium pull-through sites, fires are allowed on regular sites only in a raised, enclosed firepit. There is also community firepit. We love it here.
TravelerIt is a smaller rv park that has electric and water. There are about 50% that live here. There are 2 unisex bathrooms with showers. The internet works, so does TMobile. It is walking distance to Publix and a restaurant/marina.

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.
RangerThis place is awesome. Like other reviewers mentioned it does get packed. We showed up on the Sunday but Monday morning it was a ghost town. We towed the boat and got a camper delivered to one of the only full hook up sites. #138 plenty of room for a 5th wheel and truck and boat. BUT it was our first time here and we didn't know they had water sites so come Monday with the mass exodus we got a second water site to hang out on and leave the boat tied up in the water at. The boat ramp is onsite and they have plenty of parking but the ramp is super narrow and the current rips through there. 2nd site #38 on the water and had a fire ring, which all sites do not have at this park. So many little islands to explore with your own personal beach, there is even an island attached by bridge you can walk to with beaches. Great find.
ScoutWe sold our house in West Palm Beach and relocated to Vero Beach for work, choosing to stay in our RV at this park while awaiting our new home to be built. Initially, we were excited, but the management at this park turned out to be a nightmare. Despite the reasonable and straightforward rules, we faced constant harassment. We have two dogs that we walk multiple times a day. There are no trash cans or doggy bags on the property except in the dog park, so we took the initiative to buy an outdoor trash can and a bulk supply of dog waste bags to ensure we cleaned up after our pets. Yet, we received weekly notices accusing us of not cleaning up after our dogs. Each time I went to the main office to discuss these notices, I was told to“just ignore it” as it was likely a“pesty neighbor.” Additionally, when family visited us for the day and parked at our RV slot, we received notices about parking violations. After discussing this with the office, we were advised to have our visitors park in the lot by the restaurant, which we did. Despite this, we continued to receive notices for various infractions, such as improper water hookup and not stopping completely in the neighborhood. This felt like borderline harassment. As responsible adults who strive to follow regulations, we were perplexed and frustrated by these continuous and unfounded accusations. Each time we sought clarification from the office, they dismissed our concerns, blaming"nosey neighbors" and suggesting neighborly disputes were at play. Ultimately, we were given a 30-day notice to vacate the property. This experience is particularly disappointing because we had suggested this park for our upcoming family reunion, which would have brought 47 rentals for a week. Now, I can't wait to leave this place. For anyone considering a short-term stay, this park may suffice. However, I strongly advise against bringing pets unless you want to be harassed and falsely accused. For those seeking a long-term rental, avoid this park at all costs, as you will face weekly harassment. Furthermore, we had several packages confirmed as delivered to the“receptionist/front desk,” which mysteriously went missing, apparently mishandled by the staff. Our initial excitement to be part of the Road Runner community has completely dissipated. I am eager to leave and will never return. I do not recommend this park and will be warning others. 0/10.---
ScoutA well maintained campground, The spaces are spacious , clean and well equipped. You can find Grill, fire pit and drainage for your RV. Park ranger are friendly.
