What campers like
Private wooded sites: Vegetation between campsites creates natural separation. "I looked up this campground on Google Earth to see what it was like here. It looked like a flat area with close sites near a busy highway. Was pleasantly surprised that the scrub around the sites is tall making sites more private that the view from Google," says Laura M.
Spacious camping areas: Road Runner Travel Resort offers exceptionally large sites compared to other Florida campgrounds. "The property is clean with paved roads and super large lots that you just don't find anymore. Great facilities including a pool, tennis courts, shuffle board, a chip and put golf course, a store, and more!" reports Mitchell.
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain high cleanliness standards. "The campground is probably the cleanest we had stayed in yet! Most spots are shaded. It seems like 75% of spots are full timers and 50% work. The middle of the campground closer to the pool seems to be for shorter term guests," according to sur.la.route.
Nature immersion: Primitive camping areas provide opportunities to observe local wildlife. "Saw a pair of sandhill cranes, on our way into our camp. They were huge! Lizards everywhere, rabbits, birds. No alligators though. Would've like to see 1 or 2. Showers, bathrooms all clean," shares AileenJoyce.
