🌴 A Hidden Gem in Palmetto! 🌴 Our stay at Terra Ceia Village RV Resort was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how beautiful the area was—peaceful, and impeccably maintained. Every corner of the resort reflects care and pride, making it feel like a true home away from home. The amenities were spotless and thoughtfully designed to meet every need. Whether we were freshening up, relaxing, or exploring, everything was clean, convenient, and welcoming. What truly made our stay exceptional, though, was the staff. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel like family. Every interaction was met with a smile and genuine kindness. If you’re looking for a serene, well-kept retreat with top-notch service and a heartfelt atmosphere, Terra Ceia is the place to be. We’re already dreaming of our next visit! Thank you Terra Ceia Village for making our stay here amazing!! ❤️

Overall, we had a great time. It did take a little time to figure out the layout of the land but did throughly enjoy what the park had to offer. Not far from the ⛱️ and the salt life.

Overall, nice park. Giant concrete pads, plenty of space around your rig. No shade yet. Trees are still in the growing phase. Totally ok for winter months. They allow canopies and a lot of things that other parks don’t allow. My biggest gripe here is that they have rules about open trailers being prohibited. But that seems to be dependent on who you are. Plenty of people have open trailers here (one long term resident has a junkyard on theirs) and several other 10-12 foot open trailers on lots. I was told to remove mine within 12 hours of it being there and the rest of these people have had theirs sitting on their plots and their grass for weeks. Really hypocritical - besides that and the laundry facilities in the main building having issues, most is good here. I’ve been here for a month already and I’ve had issues with the laundry every time I’ve used it. I was going to stay 3.5 months next winter but because of the trailer issue, I am seeking another RV resort Forgot to mention that they don’t spray for mosquitoes and noseeums. They’re awful. They attack relentlessly and I have never experienced this at any other location in Florida (or anywhere else for that matter). I’ve been all over the country and I’ve never experienced this. They need to do something about it. This is my second year here and it was just as bad last year

Very disappointed we did not get to stay in the new section of the RV park. There we many open sites? When inquired at the welcoming desk the person stated that NONE of the sites in the new area are available to Thousand trails members. All Trails members would have to be placed in the old section where there are a lot of permanent residents. It was very difficult to get a 40 ft RV to the site. The neighbors were not very welcoming. :(

All office staff is very rude, especially an older male, If I were the owners of this RV resort I would be EMBARRASSED of who I have representing my company. RV resort is not kid friendly. The activities that the resort does have are just catered for the snow birds, the director is not shy on letting it be known either. The new side is connected to the old side so please beware.There are two pools, shuffle board, pickle ball courts and a gym, laundry rooms are hardly ever working plus they will burn your clothes or stain them. The club houses are reserved for just the elderly…. Horrible experience‼️
