RV enthusiasts seeking river access will find Encore Ramblers Rest positioned along forested terrain in Venice, Florida. This year-round park operates as more of a mobile home community where RVs fit between permanent residences. The campground provides full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, though Craig M. notes "the electrical and water connections needed maintenance while we were there."
The property sits directly on the river, making it attractive to kayakers and anglers. Tall pine trees provide natural shade throughout much of the campground. Sites are positioned close together with grass surfaces that can become waterlogged during Florida's rainy season. Several reviewers mention standing water of two inches or more after heavy rains, particularly on roads like Raccoon Lane.
Access presents challenges for larger rigs, as the park features narrow one-lane roads handling two-way traffic. The facility includes a heated pool, laundry rooms, and recreational activities like pickleball and basketball. Management maintains the grounds well, though the atmosphere leans toward long-term residents rather than transient campers.
For additional camping options, explore campsites near Venice. Book specific sites in advance if possible, as some locations back up to utility areas or maintenance facilities.
