The Oasis At Zolfo Springs RV park was extremely family and pet oriented. We had such a wonderful time we extended our stay to two months. They clean the bathrooms with pressure washers. They have laundry facilities, an entire rec building that has a full kitchen, and TV, a library for guest to use. Can’t beat the price can’t be the service Karen and Jason are great. It is like staying in a tight net community neighborhood while you’re traveling we were able to walk our dogs go to the little island. See the ducks you can fish. It’s right near a nature preserve, and state park is also very close. We cannot recommend this campground enough.

This is a great RV spot! Karen and Jason are very hospitable and helped us get settled in. They hosted a Super Bowl cook out that was sociable and fun! The pond is beautiful and also stocked with fish. This place is definitely an oasis in Zolfo!

This was a great place for us. The geographical location was perfect. Great for day trips to lots of tourist attractions like beaches, hiking trails, gardens etc. The campground was a little tight for moving our 43 foot trailer around but the camp manager was AWESOME!! at helping me maneuver around. Park management was wonderful, professional, thoughtful and just generally lovely people. Other campers were great too. If your looking for a park with all the high end amenities then this place is not for you. If your looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful then this is a great spot.

My small family and I have been happier than ever here at this park! Jason and Karen are wonderful, kind people that have made our stay an absolutely wonderful experience! The Oasis Clubhouse is very spacious and offers a full kitchen, large screen TV, pool table, small library, laundry room accessibility, bingo, karaoke and darts! Walkways are always clear and landscaping is very well maintained. Duck pond converted into a Doggy Island Oasis, 2 islands connected by beautiful wooden bridges and fountain and a bonus fire pit! Very SERENE! Friendly, outgoing staff always on site and willing to help in any way! Our needs here have always been met in a timely manner and we are proud and happy to call Oasis our home!
