Many campers appreciated the strategic Palmetto location with easy access to Tampa, beaches, and Sarasota. Clean facilities, friendly staff, and excellent pet amenities were consistently noted, though initial appearances may seem dated.

Nice people, mostly concrete pads

The office staff was quite gracious and helpful. As we walked outside, a fellow traveler who had been here often, offered to show me the way to our site. Our site was walking distance to a Dollar General that had plenty of groceries and other items for provisioning.

Nice resort for short or long stay

It looks a bit rundown from the first sight, but the amenities and infrastructure are really up to date, everything is clean, staff is friendly. Long term residents are also seem to t be nice. Newer (more expensive) spots don’t get too much shadow yet since the trees are still too young. Generally, I would recommend. Google reviews might be a bit outdated / misleading.

Great location and place to stay

This place is 20 minutes away from several beaches and the TB Rays stadium, the Trop.  The facilities were clean and we have a view of the pond with ducks.

Great Place - Friendly Staff & Neighbors

Nice place to stay in Palmetto. I just moved into my RV and this was my very first camping stop so I had TONS of questions and needed quite a bit of help. The staff were super friendly and the neighbors were extremely helpful in showing me how to get everything set up. They have a nice pool and laundry facilities - would recommend coming with a separate vehicle as there's not much within walking distance, but it's only a short drive to Tampa, St. Pete, and the Sarasota/Bradenton area. They also have a nice size, fenced-in dog park with a dog walking path, so bring your furry friends!

Mediocre for the weeken visitor

No fire pit, no hiking, no lake, no beach. Ok for someone staying for a while with secondary vehicle to get to see anything of interest. Facilities older but clean.
