Bay Aire 55+ RV Park maintains 170 sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, though the sites are described as narrow. "The sites are a bit small, especially for a larger RV like ours.

    Sherwood Forest RV Resort

    Megalopolis RV Circus

    Allow me to begin by saying I have never been to a large RV campground… ever! This place is so huge that you won’t be surprised if you get lost in this place at least a couple of times before you find your slotted RV destination for the night. Also, I was amazed by how close to the concrete jungle you are at this place, but once you turn on the winding little lane that will bring you to this megalopolis RV circus – fitting given your proximity to all of themed amusement parks! – after crossing through the entry gates, you immediately lose sight of all the traffic, noise and business as you are swallowed up by the lush verdant trees of pines, palms and Ancient oaks. 

    As for the campground itself, you’ll enter off the very busy 192 and head south on Scott Boulevard, where you’ll pass 3 intersecting lanes before arriving to Sherwood Forest RV Resort. There will be plenty of signage, so you shouldn’t get lost arriving here – it's another story once inside this massive compound. To navigate yourself to the proper location you have been assigned of the 514 potential overnight possibilities that exist, you’ll first want to stop off at the administration building, where they should give you a map – and if they don’t, be sure to ask for you, because you’re going to need it! Basically, this entire place is back-to-back RV’s parked at a diagonal with very little to no privacy whatsoever and given that Sherwood Forest is so heavily populated, you are going to encounter both a decent amount of traffic (the golf cart kind) and noise. And while I would normally encourage folks to get as close to the pool area as possible, I found this main congregating place to be quite jam packed and noisy. 

    Amenities: Clubhouse / lounge, mini-golf, basketball, dog park, RV storage, restroom / shower facilities, horseshoe pit, WiFi (at a cost away from the main building), shuffleboard, darts, fitness center, in-ground heated swimming pool, nearby Tiki bar, LP gas refill station, laundr-O-mat, ballroom, mail room, library, banquet hall, catch-and-release lake fishing, marketplace store, playground, game room, billiards, whirlpool / spa / hot tub, picnic tables, pavilion areas, fire pits, BBQ grill, designated trash receptacles, trash compactor, cable TV / satellite and back-in / pull-through sites with full hook-ups (30/ 50 amp electric, water and sewage). In addition to all of the amenities, there’s also a ton of activities, including live music concerts, potluck dinners, BBQ cookouts, dance lessons, ice cream socials, craft-making classes, outdoor chess, mini-golf tournaments, church services, aerobic dancing, exercise classes, line dancing (yeehaw!), board game nights, Bingo, card playing as well as formal holiday dinners around Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) The best sites, in general, are all of the ones that are completely on the perimeter of Sherwood Forest RV Resort, specifically sites #1– 137 (you will note that there are a handful of cottages and cabins for rent in these slots as well); (2) When you get done staring down the inside of your cooler or mini-fridge and are looking for a place to sit down and eat for a change, then there are no shortage of food joints to have a look at, including: Krispy Kreme (my personal favorite), Cracker Barrel (my personal least favorite restaurant in the universe), Longhorn Steakhouse, Ichiban Buffet, Martin’s BBQ, Olive Garden and 192 Crab & Lobster Juicy Seafood & Bar;(3) If by chance you have forgotten anything, avoid paying double or triple the price at the on-site market by going to either Walmart or Publix, which are both about a mile and half away; and (4) If you would actually like to enjoy a bit of the outdoors while staying at this RV amusement park, go for a day trip to Lake Tohopekaliga, which has some pretty amazing bass fishing as well as a few choice places to drop your boat into, like Twin Oaks or Cherokee Point Conservation Areas (and if you don’t have your own kayak, canoe or boat, contact Wild Willys Airboat Tours and they’ll show you around). 

    Happy Camping!

    Plantation Oaks

    Basic mobile home/RV park

    We stayed there during the Tampa Show. Last minute decision. Park has a lot of long term RV's and many of them older. Dog friendly and has a decent sized dog run. We had a pull thru spot that was plenty long enough to leave our dolly hooked up to our 33' class A, and still have plenty of room to park in front. Although it was very narrow and I was a little concerned about my leveling jacks sinking in when it rained due to it being all grass. Fortunately it didn't rain much. There were cable hook ups, but I couldn't get a signal. Not sure about wifi, because I just used my hot spot. Most, if not all, of the short term spaces had picknick tables. Overall just a fairly quiet place to park with hookups and not too far off the highway.

    Horseshoe Cove RV Resort

    Great short or long stay

    I live local and have been staying here in the pull through area a month until I transition to 100% travel trailer life. I have 2 50 lb+ dogs and there are many other people with dogs, plus a dog park. Park is very well kept, beautiful gym, pool, hot tub, and private island on backside to fish and other games like horseshoes. Love this place! Maintenance is A M A Z I N G!!!!!!!! I will be staying here again for short and extended periods and feel more than comfortable to recommend to friends and family. Laundry facilities and bathrooms are fine too. Dryers dry a full load of towels in one cycle, was pretty impressive! Also plenty of area to ride a bike a couple times around the park. It is also close to gas, grocery store and really good restaurants. Two thumbs up!!!

    Cedars Lake MH & RV Park

    Old Florida Vibe

    We love small RV parks with easy living and charm. Cedars Lake is such a park in Old Homosassa Florida. Sites are situated around a small pond, under large oak canopies. The full-time and part-time folks are friendly. The management couple, who live onsite, are welcoming and very helpful. And Ernie, the Blue Heron, is entertaining. Essentials include laundry, wifi, picnic tables, pool, rec room, etc. Close to lots of things to do, like state parks, walking trails, museums, manatee watching, fishing. There must be 30+ local restaurants nearby. The Museum Cafe (authentic Cuban sandwiches) is our favorite. We've stayed in all types of RV parks from WA to FL and this is the sweetest. Initially we reserved it for a week and, once here, stayed three weeks because it was a charming home away from home.

    Hickory Point RV Park

    Nice, quiet, well maintained, friendly, wooded CG on the water

    We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 132 for 3 days in mid April. The CG is very clean, well maintained, but relatively expensive. The CG is a mixture of long-term and transient folks. The roads are paved, but the sites are sandy, shelly gravel. The staff is friendly and very helpful. They have beach chairs near the water and a fire pit that they lit every evening near sunset. In addition to the Bark Park area, there is a nice wooded area where you can walk your dog as well. 

    AT&T coverage was pretty good, with 3-4 bars of 5G service and speeds up to 11 MB/s. The CG has a lot of trees, but the sites in the front of the park are pretty open. We had no line-of-site to the DISH satellites, but did have an open view north, so Starlink usable, but the CG had WiFi and we were right across from the antenna, so we didn’t use Starlink. The CG WiFi achieved speeds up to 8 MB/s.

    Colt Creek State Park Campground

    Very Nice Campground

    This campground is obviously quite new.  Spacious and open sites that are very big rig friendly.  Pads are L-shaped to accommodate the picnic table, yet because of the spacioiusness there's room to pitch a screen tent in the grass.

    The demerits for us were (1) laundry is coin op only (no credit card), surprising for such a new park; and (2) no plastic bag dispenseries for dog clean up.  Such amenities are nice for extended stays.

    Edward Medard Park

    Gem of the County

    What a beautiful well kept facility near suburbia. Just a short drive from Tampa and Lakeland areas this first come first served facility is a favorite of locals. Full service for RV's (even a dump station. Clean, monitored bathroom facilities close to lots of additional activities! Kayaking and fishing on the lake is a blast! Frisbee Golf (this is an advanced course) equestrian and hiking trails, picnic and playground areas. Pet friendly but there were more than a few stray cats when we were there (a problem the rangers are trying to address). Midweek is best time to visit as weekends fill fast (usually by Thursday night)

    Plantation Oaks

    Nice peaceful place

    It’s a great basic park. It does have a nice size dog run and very pet friendly as long as you pick up afterwards. The office manager Christina along with Melisa the maintenance manager has been nothing but fantastic since day one. After spending a few months here it seems to be a safe friendly environment.. I highly recommend it, it’s close to shopping and some good restaurants yet it’s not in the middle of the hustle.


Guide to Oldsmar

RV campgrounds surrounding Oldsmar, Florida offer diverse accommodations within easy reach of Tampa Bay attractions. Located at the northern tip of Old Tampa Bay, Oldsmar sits at just 15 feet above sea level in a subtropical climate zone that averages 89°F in summer months and 70°F in winter. Most RV parks in this region maintain sandy or gravel pads rather than concrete, with varying degrees of shade depending on proximity to the Gulf Coast.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Near Hickory Point RV Park, visitors can access the Anclote River for shoreline fishing. "We had a waterfront site, great campground... Has boat launch, waterfront community area, volleyball, small beach, dock, etc. Short drive from downtown Tarpon Springs and several beaches," notes one camper.

Cycling access: Many Oldsmar area RV parks connect to regional biking trails. The Pinellas Trail runs directly behind Caladesi RV Park, making it ideal for cyclists. "The bike trail is right behind the park and has beautiful scenery," shares a regular visitor.

Local cultural attractions: Greek heritage sites in Tarpon Springs are accessible from most Oldsmar area parks. "Definitely visit the Greek village!" recommends a camper at Hickory Point. The sponge docks and authentic Greek restaurants are approximately 15 minutes from most northern Oldsmar camping options.

What campers like

Waterfront ambiance: The sunset views at waterfront sites receive consistent praise. "They have beach chairs near the water and a fire pit that they lit every evening near sunset," notes a camper at Hickory Point RV Park. These communal gathering spaces create social opportunities without requiring individual campfires.

Clean facilities: Bathroom and shower cleanliness stands out at several parks. At Caladesi RV Park, "The restroom/shower house is ALWAYS clean. We don't always want to shower in our rv so this is important to us," reports one reviewer who regularly returns to the park.

WiFi performance: Several Oldsmar area RV parks maintain better-than-average internet connectivity. At Hickory Point, one camper reported, "The CG WiFi achieved speeds up to 8 MB/s," which supports video streaming and remote work capabilities—a feature not common at all Florida RV destinations.

What you should know

Site spacing variations: Proximity to neighbors varies significantly between parks. At Encore Winter Quarters Pasco, one camper noted: "The sites are extremely close. I had a very difficult time parking my 37' foot travel trailer. If someone is parked across from you, you basically are stuck."

Age demographics: Several parks cater specifically to older campers with corresponding atmospheres. "The rules are extremely strict, as this is mainly a retirement community. No fires, no noise, and no fun," reports a family who stayed at Winter Quarters Pasco, highlighting potential culture clashes for families with children.

Weather considerations: Seasonal flooding affects some parks during Florida's rainy season. "I'd avoid this park during the rainy season," warns a visitor to Encore Vacation Village, noting the tendency for sites to become muddy during summer thunderstorms.

Tips for camping with families

Pool maintenance standards: For families prioritizing swimming, facility quality varies widely. Encore Barrington Hills receives positive feedback for their pool area, making it suitable for families seeking water recreation beyond the beach.

Bug preparation: Mosquito conditions require special preparation in some locations. "This is a mosquito heaven!!! Bring bug spray or candles! You will see a large amount of bugs in your area," warns a camper at Encore Vacation Village, emphasizing the need for insect deterrents from May through October.

Proximity to medical facilities: The Oldsmar area provides convenient healthcare access. "This is our go to location when we have appointments at Bay Pines VA!" shares a visitor to Encore Vacation Village, highlighting the practical benefit of camping near medical resources.

Tips from RVers

Cell service quality: Mobile coverage varies by provider and specific campground location. At Holiday Travel Park, one RVer reported, "I've stayed at other parks in the area - so far this one is the best for reasonable money," noting consistent cell service that supported remote work needs.

RV size compatibility: Many parks impose strict length limitations. "30ft max" notes a camper at Holiday Travel Park, while others warn about tight turning radiuses and narrow interior roads that challenge larger motorhomes even when technically permitted.

Concrete pad availability: Premium sites with concrete pads require advance booking. "I would recommend any of the few concrete sites if you can get one," advises an RVer who stayed at Sherwood Forest RV Resort, noting the significant difference in comfort between sandy and concrete sites during rainy periods.
