Thousand Palms Resort

3 ReviewsAdd Review

With sites accommodating RVs up to 50 feet and full hookups available, Thousand Palms Resort operates as an RV park in Rutland's forested setting. The facility provides electric, water, and sewer connections alongside amenities including WiFi, showers, and a dump station. Reservations ensure site availability, though access roads can be rough.

The park caters primarily to seasonal residents and snowbirds in larger rigs, with permanent and modular home sites mixed throughout the oak and palm tree landscape. Recent visitors highlight the cleanliness of facilities, particularly the bathrooms near the community pool, and note the helpful staff who accompany new arrivals to their sites for hookup assistance. The property includes river access to the Withlacoochee River with a boat ramp for launching watercraft.

Peace and Quiet

I stayed here for the first time for 3 days as a break from driving up to the mountains. Well worth it! If you, become a member of TRA you'll be happy

An Oasis

We made a quick trip up to this park during the lockdown. Let me say first that this is not a camp ground by my definition, rather an RV Park. At the time of our visit all National, State and County campgrounds were closed.

That said, we had an excellent time. The residents including the staff were really nice and welcoming. This park is well run. After check in somebody accompanies you to your site and does not leave until you are all hooked up.

We were a little out of place in our small camper (Airstream Basecamp) among the seasonal and permanent residents in large rigs and permanent modular homes sites, but that added to the fun. The park has a small store and is convenient to many local activities.

Our original goal was to cycle on the Withlacoochee Trail, an area favorite of ours. We discovered that it had been closed due to the pandemic like many other parks. Why this trail was closed is beyond me but there you go. We explored the local area on bikes and discovered Lake Panasoffkee and the Lake Pano Lodge (pics attached).

As an added bonus, they put is right next to the pool which was open. It was like an Oasis because most public pools had been closed and remain so. Everybody was so "normal" at this park going about their lives without drama is was really great. 

This park also has river access, boat ramp and launch so we had a great paddle on the Withlacoochee. Oh, forgot to mention that Thousand Palms has by far THE NICEST BATHROOM we have ever found on our travels adjacent to the community pool.

We will return when we want to play in this area even if we can find state or federal camping because it's such a unique experience for us to stay in an RV park and be welcomed like family.

Love this place.

Paradise

This is the second winter that we stayed at TPR for a month. We love this place. The sites are a great mix of oak and palm trees and sunshine. The campground is clean, has new pickle ball court and many other activities. The pool is clean, warm, large and wonderful. We really love the pool. The other campers and workers are great. Most campers are snowbirds and great to talk to.
