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.

I went to rent a park model for my daughter and her family that’s coming down from North Carolina for a visit and when less than 24 hours later, they will not allow me to cancel, and they did not inform me of their policies at the time of purchase, nor will they give me a full refund, and my daughter and them are not gonna stay there because they didn’t even have the keys in the office before I made the purchase and after I made the purchase, I went to take a look at it and it was a dump. Their park models are horrible

I tried to add photos to this review, but they are not showing up….. but just drive around and see for yourself. We had multiple complaints from our guests that stayed in our Airbnb in the last 12 months about the look and lack rules of clutter and cleanliness. What is supposed to be an RV Resort, has turned into low income housing with disheveled campers and all of their junk to stored outside…. Trash bins overflowing with garbage,fences put up to keep animals in, old furniture left outside. All on deaf ears with hallow promises to address it. There are beautiful RV resorts all over the Tampa Bay Area, Arbor Terrace certainly isn’t one of them, look elsewhere

Our Premium Site was not so premium. We stayed on the back row Site 315, unfortunately it was extremely tight probably 2 feet from the next door camper. The little 3'x6' concrete pad that we had was cracked and sinking into the ground. The smell of sewer was awful. It was my in-laws first time camping with us, we would've loved to be outside a little bit more but the tight space and the smell did not let us. Wish i could've had a better experience. I suggest looking this campground up on google earth to see it from an aerial view.

I contacted the company regarding a friend's trailer, which is over 10 years old. They indicated they typically do not rent to owners of trailers older than 10 years, but requested photos, which were provided. Following confirmation of receipt, I was informed that they would respond shortly. However, five days later, there has been no response. While I understand their preference for newer units, the lack of a response, even a negative one, demonstrates a significant lack of professionalism and courtesy.

My sister lives here. It's a really great place. Lots of things to do. Not crazy about the neighborhood around it, but it's very nice if you have an RV and want to spend some long-term time here
