Best RV Parks & Resorts near St. Petersburg, FL

The St. Petersburg area features several RV-friendly campgrounds with varying amenities and site configurations. Encore Vacation Village in Largo provides full hookup RV sites with 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections. Sites are typically arranged close together on gravel pads. "Park has a lot of long term RVs 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," noted one visitor. Terra Ceia RV Resort in Palmetto accommodates big rigs with spacious sites and offers year-round availability, while Encore Winter Quarters Manatee in Bradenton features waterfront sites but with considerable highway noise from nearby I-75.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended for most RV parks in the region, particularly during winter months when snowbirds significantly increase occupancy rates. Full hookup sites at Pleasant Lake RV Resort and Avalon RV Resort maintain high ratings for their level pads and reliable utilities. Cell service varies considerably throughout the area, with several reviewers mentioning weak AT&T coverage at certain locations. Many parks enforce pet policies that include designated dog areas but restrict certain breeds or sizes. Dump stations are available at most parks, though older facilities may have dated equipment. A recent review noted that "the electrical (30 amp and 50 amp) was farther back than the water, which wasn't a huge deal but might be inconvenient for some" at Winter Quarters Manatee RV park. Propane refill services are limited at the parks themselves, requiring trips to nearby commercial suppliers.
