If you are looking for a fancy place with lots of activities. This isn't it. We stayed here 3 months and 2 weeks. $245.00 a month plus electric for a pull-through site and 50 amp, water, sewer. Our HDT with the trailer was to long for the site, so the truck was parked in storage within the park at no extra charge. Has cable TV but I'm not sure if you have to pay extra. We had a satellite. Each site has a picnic table. All sites are on grass. 54 of the sites have park models and 30 are open for RVs. Most of the sites are pull throughs but are some with back ins. There are side by side hook ups. The roads. Some are paved, some are dirt. It's very quiet here other then some inconsiderate dog owners. Yappy dogs at 7 AM get tiring. Can only complain to the owners so many times. Still enjoyed our stay here and would come back. Easy in and out with a HDT and a 35 ft 5th wheel trailer. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice Park, Nice People, My Kind Of Place ! I love the bathrooms here. They are beautiful and I have been in them mornings, mid-days and evenings and ALWAYS found them clean. I have cleaned professionally in my life so I think I'm a pretty good judge of clean. I was also surprised by the "nothing to do comment." We have a great time here. Love the potlucks, the desert bars, and the weekly weenie roast - and they're FREE ! I also think this area has a lot to offer. We are goers - almost every day, we find interesting new things to see and do. As for prices, I have checked around a lot and found Thousand Palms to be one of the most reasonable. This park doesn't have rates that I consider high for this area and it also discounts for weekly and longer stay. After spending a couple of vacations with us here, my brother's family has reserved their own site for next winter. I guess this is just our kind of place. I love it here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park staff are excellent, available, and always ready to help! They listen to guest activity suggestions and requests and implement them whenever possible. The park is quiet, clean, and have a "campground" atmosphere. Not the concrete and blacktop sterile types one typically visits in Florida. We really enjoyed that! The park offers excellent access to the highway, is very close to major interstates, shopping, and convenient for daily road trips. The pool is totally cool: recently renovated, heated, and always clean. Because of all the palms, you can float on your back and watch all the birds flying back and forth, in and out of your view!!! We enjoyed our stay very much and plan to return for the winter of 2010. Enjoy! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This will actually be a double review in 1 post. We have stayed here twice, first was a "Preview Stay" on our way south through Florida to stay in Miami 11/08 to 1/15/09 to visit with my family. We then returned here to stay 1/15/09 to 4/15/09. So this review will be a bit longer than usual. When possible we try to at least tour the RV Resort before committing to be there for several months. Best is to stay a couple of nights to get a true feel of the resort. Luckily, due to our travel route we were able to stay here a couple of nights. From the first smile and warm, friendly, & welcoming greeting at the office when we checked in for our first stay we were quite sure we had found the the correct resort for us. Being early November they were not completely full yet, although they were very busy, they allowed us to preview the RV sites available to choose from for our short stay. To be so accommodating usually requires a long stay for the staff to go out of their way, but we had yet to even discuss & confirm our return dates at this point. Another good sign! Usually you get a list of available spaces from the front desk with a comment check them out and let us know what you want. Not here, they gave us a "No Pressure" tour of the resort showing the spaces available to choose from and also outlining the improvements they had completed so far and their future aspirations for the resorts. I immediately loved their three hole fun golf course the RV'ers have created, PGA it is not, but it's there for the fun of the game. We decided on space #122 in a small circle group of 6 new spaces they had laid out. We chose #122 because of the clear shot for our satellite dish to tune in. Although they have cable TV available, there were specific shows that we knew were going to aired on our satellite system we wanted to be sure we'd be able to watch while there. These spaces would be great for a mini group rally or the headquarters of the rally masters of a larger gathering especially being these spaces are adjacent to their new huge beautiful Club House. I am a stickler for quality power as we have had to repair or replace electronic equipment due to poor power voltage. The power level consistently ranged between 117 to 123 volts! Excellent in my experience for RV resorts. Another priority is the bathrooms/showers, their's are top notch & very clean and would put to shame any we have seen so far in our travels. Their heated swimming pool had just been completely refurbished and was a pleasure to enjoy. We returned for our 3 month "Snowbird" winter stay and had a great time. This time we found the activities calendar chocked full of things to do. Everything from Classic RV Resort potlucks that always have too much delicious food, to golf, shuffleboard, photography classes with computer support help, movie nights, pool side hot dog cook outs, catch & release fishing in their pond, Monday library bookmobile w/ movies you could check out, adventure trails. The list seemed endless, I know I forgot many activities but the above were the things we had fun attending. Like magic if someone mentioned they were interested in a new activity it just seem to appear on the next calendar! There were also group outings going to local flea markets, horseback riding, air-boat rides, miles of hiking & biking trails, local state parks, Homosassa Springs to see the manatees, Russel Stover chocolate factory tours, breakfast outings to local restaurants all within minutes of the resort. Any of these can be enjoyed without joining the group if your schedule dictates so. The aspect we really enjoyed most about this resort was it's location, location & location to some of Florida's most popular must see & do attractions. Our touring of Florida from there was a big arch from the Panhandle in the north to the Atlantic coast in the east to the southern Gulf coast. We took day trips to Naples, Tampa/St Petersburg, Orlando, Ocala real equestrian country, Cedar Key, they call the area "The Nature Coast" for obvious reasons the Gulf Coast area there is as natural as the can possibly keep it, Cape Canaveral, WOW, there was a space shuttle launch while we were there and they said you could follow the launch rocket trail glowing in the sky from the resort. We were able to zip up to the beautiful pristine white sandy beaches of Panama City & Pensacola and decided to grab a inexpensive overnight hotel room. This may sound like I'm their Chamber of Commerce rep but I'm not, I just found a great resort at a great price and wanted to share it and get the word out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Difficult for us to rate this park, as it's really for fishermen, so for them it is great. The price is also very good, the buildings all very clean, heated pool and lots of activities. Guests do most of the arranging for the dinners and such. Not being fishermen, there's not a lot to do in the area. You must travel a bit to see movies, etc. They need to deal with the dogs barking and running around. The odor from the sewer plant can be overwhelming and some sites are extremely tight. Pick your site carefully. Some electrical problems and sewer line problems need to be dealt with. I understand this place has risen from the dead, so more time will produce more necessary improvements...People very friendly and extremely helpful. If you fish, this is heaven! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We found this campground on the RV Review and glad we did. Upon checking in, the lady who works the office was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. The folks who are here for the winter were so nice and friendly that we didn't want to leave. We were in site 96, down towards the river, where they have boat rentals if you choose. The restrooms and laundry were very clean. We certainly would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of the best RV Parks in the Lake Panasoffkee area. The Manager, is just wonderful and the full-time campers are very friendly. The bathrooms are very clean and the pool is inviting. You have river access to the Lake and there are docks to park your boat. You can rent canoes, small fishing boats and a pontoon boat for very reasonable rates. They honor all the major club cards. I rented site #33 where I put my 38-foot fifth wheel with three slides and had plenty of room and full hookups with the exception of cable TV. Rate reflects Passport America discount. I will be back soon. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
