I have rented here for last 2 Februarys. Enjoy the pool, walking the park.

Our experience here was absolutely dreadful, the RV sites are set up face to face so there is no privacy at all. We had to share space with our neighbor!!! It is more low income housing than a resort. The homeless wander thru at all hours of the night stealing anything they want. Management knows it and does nothing to stop it. DO NOT stay here.

The location is great and close to the beach, but there are some serious issues to be aware of. There is no security whatsoever — no gate, no parking passes, and no one monitoring who comes and goes. There is also no staff on the grounds or in the office on weekends, which makes the security problems even worse. Our electric bike was stolen off the back of our car in the middle of the night. After talking with the manager and several residents, we learned this is a very common problem here. If you stay, make sure absolutely everything is locked up, even items in the back of your truck. We also had one of the most unfriendly neighbors we’ve ever encountered. He came onto our site without permission and even touched our belongings. I believe he assumed no one was home because the car was gone — but I was inside while my husband was out. We’ve been coming here for at least 13+ years, and it’s sad to say, but this will be our last visit. The lack of security, lack of weekend staff, and uncomfortable interactions made this trip extremely disappointing. We’re happy to leave and won’t be returning.

There’s no one available on the weekends, we arrived at night for check-in with no assistance. The shared bathrooms were locked, and the courts were closed with no access. I do not recommend it

We are staying in a little trailer rental in this RV Park. Very nice pool and laundry facilities right by the entrance. Cute little park. It is a mix of RV's, park models and small trailer homes. It is close to Aldis and other grocery options. Lots of restaurants in the area. It is a 15-20 minute drive out to the beaches on Anna Maria Island.
