J Sims Buttonwood Inlet RV Park is a charming, quaint, and relaxing place to park your RV or motorhome. It offers a prime location in Cortez, Florida—just a stone’s throw from beautiful Anna Maria Island. Adam and his team do a superb job of maintaining the property and accommodating guests throughout the entire process, from booking to arrival and departure. I can’t say enough about the friendly staff and the warm welcome I’ve received every time I’ve visited. The online booking system is simple and efficient, making it easy to select and confirm vacation dates. Buttonwood’s pricing is very fair and competitive with other properties in the area, and the value you receive is outstanding. The park also offers plenty of extra parking for boats and trailers. Guests have access to a boat launch and a dock area where you can tie up your boat, with just a short drive out to the bay. If you’re looking for a convenient, well-managed, and welcoming spot for your stay near Anna Maria Island, Buttonwood Inlet RV Park is an excellent choice.

We’ve visited Buttonwood RV Resort twice now and already booked our stay for next year! Adam and Angie do an incredible job—keeping the grounds spotless and making every guest feel welcome. The resort offers easy access to the boat ramp, and every amenity, from the pool to the laundry facilities, is maintained to the highest standard. It’s a beautiful, relaxing place to stay, and we can’t wait to come back!

We have camped all over Florida for many years and this is, by far, our most favorite RV resort. We come back here year after year and end up staying longer each time. It is a quick bike ride to the beach and one of our favorite places, The Coconut Hut! One of the best things about Buttonwood inlet RV resort is the manager, Adam, he communicates consistently and professionally regarding all things going on within the resort and he helps to create a personal and “large family”- like atmosphere not found in any other resorts we have been. See you again next year, Buttonwood inlet, and all of our friends that we made this summer!

Buttonwood Inlet RV Resort keeps getting better and better. The grounds are immaculate, access to the water is a hidden gem, and their facilities are always kept in great condition. I have been camping here for 11+ years. Adam, Angie and Dale keep the place in top notch and their customer service is above and beyond. This is a great RV Resort. I will be coming back every year!

Small park, appeared to be a lot of long term residents. Lot of standing water with summer rains. Good location near beach, just across drawbridge. Tiny pool. Not big rig friendly. We were in a 45 Ft super C. All sites back in. Our Site was on the corner with dumpsters directly across. Difficulty backing in due to dumpsters and then we could not utilize our space because of people cutting the corner short. Also being summer, the dumpsters smelled horribly and we couldn't sit outside. After complaining, pressure washed the area a day later and helped somewhat. Very poor design to put dumpsters right at sites.

Location! Location! Location! Walkable RV park to Anna Maria Island. Friendly. Engaging staff. Adam, the manager, is the best. Angie and Groundskeepers really care like it's their home!

This is not a hotel/motel, it's a RV park. We've been coming here for at least 10 years. We love it and the present manager can't be any more helpful and accommodating
Jeff Cates
We loved this little place, nice and clean, friendly guests. We were only there for two nights so we didn’t really have any contact with management but I hear that Adam is a great manager. We will be back again soon as we live only about an hour away and we love Tide Tables and Cortez Cafe and of course the island. We also have friends that live in the neighborhood.

We stayed here for a month in January at Buttonwood RV resort and we had a great time. Adam and the crew were very welcoming and the park is amazingly maintained.Everyone is so friendly, just like family. We look forward to come back again. You pull out of the driveway over the bridge, nice restaurant on the left tide tables, with great food. And you continue over the bridge and you run right into the ocean. Great location can't wait to come back again next year.!!😎 Bill &Judy Carr

We have loved our stay at Buttonwood. The staff is sure to set the tone for a welcoming and hospitable environment. Adam and Angie are both readily available for any guest needs and are both incredibly kind and helpful people by nature. Buttonwood is a great blend of community and privacy. You can’t beat the location & value. Our space was located in the front of the park and it is still quiet and peaceful. Would recommend to others. If you aren’t sure about the RV life, they have the option to rent a small cottage/trailer as well. Truly a hidden gem that still has the old Florida charm.
