Best RV Parks & Resorts near Safety Harbor, FL

711 Reviews

Several RV parks surround Safety Harbor, Florida, offering convenient access to Tampa Bay attractions. Caladesi RV Park in Palm Harbor provides full hookups with 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections in a location just minutes from beaches. Bay Aire 55+ RV Park features 170 big-rig friendly sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical options. Hickory Point RV Park in Tarpon Springs accommodates larger motorhomes with spacious pull-through sites and complete hookups. Avalon RV Resort in Clearwater maintains highly-rated facilities with full hookup RV sites, though spaces can be limited. "The sites are spaced out far from each other which was great! I have travelled to a lot of parks that have sites right on top of one another," noted one Caladesi RV Park visitor.

Winter months bring significantly higher occupancy to Safety Harbor area RV campgrounds, with many parks filling completely from January through March. Advance reservations are essential during this peak season, often requiring booking 6-7 months ahead. Most RV parks in the region maintain sanitary dump stations, with Bay Aire, Caladesi, and Hickory Point offering on-site sewer hookups at individual sites. Cell service varies by location but generally remains strong throughout the Tampa Bay area, with reviewers reporting 3-4 bars of 5G service at Hickory Point. Pet policies differ between parks - Bay Aire and Avalon welcome pets with designated areas, while some parks enforce breed or size restrictions. Propane refill services are limited, requiring trips to nearby commercial locations rather than on-site availability.

    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!!!

    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.

    Encore Clover Leaf Forest RV Resort

    Nice spot, nice people, nice amenities

    We recently stayed at Clover Forest RV Park in our 40ft Class A Motorhome, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The park is clean and well-maintained, with nice amenities that made our stay comfortable. The pool was sparkling clean and provided a great spot to relax during the hot afternoons. The laundry facilities were convenient and well-kept, which is always a plus when on the road.

    One thing to note is that the spaces are a bit small, especially for a larger RV like ours. It felt a little tight maneuvering into the spot, but we managed fine. The proximity to other campers wasn’t an issue, though it’s something to keep in mind if you’re used to more space.

    Overall, Clover Forest RV Park offered a good balance of comfort and convenience. The small spaces didn’t detract too much from the experience, and the clean facilities and amenities made it a solid choice for a short or long stay.

    MacDill AFB FamCamp

    Utilitarian

    No surprise on a military base but felt like a campground equivalent of base housing. Tight spots with full hook ups. Lots of snow birds, so getting in was a challenge. We had to show up without a reservation and take advantage of first come, first serve spots.

    Full hook up (electric/water/sewer) and cable. No wifi (so weak it didn't work) and cell coverage almost non-existent (AT&T).

    Close to a small beach and marina with a restaurant walking distance. Several dog parks but muddy/dirt. Laundry available for fee. Bath houses clean and large.

    Good amenities on base. Gym not too far and massive.

    Make sure you arrive at the base through the gate at the end of Dale Mabry, as it's the only gate campers can come thru. And be sure to go to the far right lane, even if it's got a red X showing the lane is closed. They will open the wider lane for you. You don't want to know why I know that or how close our Airstream was to the guard shacks if you don't go in the far lane!
