Thousand Trails Peace River

Peace River is a very large campground. Nearly half is still unusable after Ian. The sites that are open are spacious. There are many trees so many roots in the campsites. Our site was very level with a concrete patio. Except for the traffic nearby it is a very quiet campground. We had many perfect nights sleeping here. Although we were here in March there seemed to be many available sites and many campers moving in and out.

We have a lovely site right up against a Floridian stand of woods. The site is big and open for a private campground and plenty of space for a family. The site is 30amp and no sewage. You have to drive around and pick a 30 amp site then you are entered into a lottery system after you get to your site to move to a 50 amp site with sewage. We were here and pulled into the driveway at 12:06 (check-in time of noon) specifically to get what we want for our rig. Rather than have to move again, we stayed in our site and decided to just use the honey wagon. First off, you get one honey wagon visit per week. Really!?!?!? Second, unless you book it a week or two before, there is no way to get a Wednesday appointment. Considering this is a campground without sewage, why would you have only one honey wagon without enough ability to service your customers? Thank goodness for a 36 gallon poop-tote. Location is great but, this is a private campground with State Park like lack of amenities.

Getting into a site with sewer thru the lottery was time consuming , but we did get a decent site the day after we arrived. The amenities are tired and in need of an update or repair. They do seem to have a good activities schedule and the staff is very nice. You have to pay $5 per package delivery. It’s right on Route 17, so you can hear traffic from a lot of the sites. Not much to do in Wauchula.
