We thought this was a decent place to stay...until we explored surrounding areas and found Spanish Main. It made this place pale in comparison! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park management very rude and unfriendly. We were accosted at the gate and told that our dogs were to big. 20 lb limit. Nothing was mentioned at reservation time. Not adequate space to walk pets. We left after one night after being verbally abused by the manager several times. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Next to a cement block factory and the dust is unberable. Was dumb and paid 6months in advance, and could'nt get money back. Was a long dusty winter. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Undoubtedly one of the finest resorts in West Central Florida, this campground is unfortunately located next to several Concrete Plants. The wind blows concrete dust all over the park, making residents sick. Also, the number of sites has greatly outgrown the size of the facility - not all residents can get into the clubhouse at once for weekly meeting; pool only holds 35, etc. Manager has a mercurial personality - makes your stay less than it could be.

We stayed starting on Jan 1 for a month and paid 467.00 plus electricity which was 48.00. I don't know what it is per night. The 17.00 is approximately what it cost us per night. Wifi was not available at our RV site as we expected. We were told it was available at office, but had not been available at the sites for a long time. 1/2 of the dryers were not working and I was told by residents they had not worked for at least a year. I made 2 calls to Wilder owners and the week before we left all dryers were working. The roads need paving, trees and limbs need cutting. We could not get in to first site due to low hanging limbs. The park model owners do not own the lots and many of the park models are old and an eyesore and for sale. There are some very nice well kept park models. Cats were a problem in the park and one owner had more than we could count and it smelled when we walked past her park model. Cats sprayed our tires, got on vehicles and a newspaper article reported rabid cats found in the county. The cats screamed at night under our RV. It is not a gated secure park and they don't have security. The people are friendly and it is about 30 minutes to Brandon and Tampa. They do have a heated out door pool. We would not go back.

We stay here often, in the winter, as my wifes father lives near by. It is older, but well laid out. Our only concern, now that we have a 42' diesel pusher, is that the extra weight, may prove a problem, as it's sometimes very wet there, and there is a good possibility that we will get stuck with our bigger rig. The office folks are friendly, and there are many extras to do. Would recommend this park to anyone, especially at this price. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very active park. Entry is very short with nowhere to park for check in. Well groomed park. Management seemed very friendly. A lot of fire ants!!!!!!!!! Stayed there 5 nights visiting friends who have been there for 3 years now. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very friendly park. The sites are a good size and can accomodate the larger rigs. There are a few sites that have 50 amp but most are 30. When we arrived we were escorted to our site and assisted with parking. The campground is on the outskirts of town but everything is accessable. There is a fruit stand in the park and across the street a convience store/gas station. There were children in the park but it is basically the 50+ crowd and it is advertised as a Adult Travel Resort. The park also has a large pond, clubhouse, exercise room, shuffleboard, pool tables,horseshoe pits and scheduled activities We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is better than half permanent sites, but they are well cared for and everyone is friendly. We were given a site for a 40 foot motor home and told to go the wrong way on streets to get to the site. When we arrived there was not enough room to back into the site that was angled in the wrong direction. I tried to back in, but wasn't able to. I decided to drive down the street and come back up the right way so I could back in. When I got to the end of the street I wasn't able to make either turn and that's why it was suggested that I go the wrong way. I ended up backing to a place where I could turn around and then backed all the way into the site. This is not to condemn the campground, but to forewarn visitors. There are no tables or grills. It is a nice clean place with reasonable prices to explore the area and we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is lovely. Winter residents are very nice and friendly - made us feel very welcome. New pool - great! Will not return, however, because of the current management team. they are two very nasty people. He will yell and scream even while he is parking you in your site. This park is owned by a corporation and we couldn't understand why they keep this management team here. Talk to the winter residents and none likes them. Careful if you reserve here. If you do, avoid the managers at all costs!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
