The woman who answers phones is unnecessarily rude. Her name is Denise. I simply asked her if there was a way for them to let me know if any of the reservations didn’t get filled. She told me the wait was a year. She wouldn’t let me do that and said the only way for me to know would be to come in. I can’t possibly walk into the park every day to see if there’s reservations available. Terrible way to do business. I’ve lived in this town for twenty years and her being rude was unnecessary. She needs to be fired. ASAP.

Conveniently located near The Villages, Florida in Central Florida. Many amenities and opportunities to stay busy and to socialize are provided if one desires. My wife and I came to visit 3 years ago in a Class A Motor Home. We enjoyed the Resort and decided to make this our permanent residence. Bev, the Activities Director, and her Staff do an in excellent job of keeping people informed. Suzy is in charge of the 8:45 AM Sunday Morning Church in the Park Services and provides attendees the opportunity to worship the LORD in Song and hear different Speakers. Nolan works very hard along with his Crew at resolving maintenance issues. Tracey is a Champion at answering Internet questions Whether you are looking for an overnight camp site or a full time stay you should take the time to check out Recreational Plantation RV Resort. Note; The only rooms provided are the ones in your camper. This is not a hotel, though some campers are available for rent Oct-March.

The night manager was a bit rude at first because I didn't leave my truck and camper in the front parking lot and walk to his place. But he quickly warmed up and was pretty cool and very accommodating. Decent place. Clean restrooms, and grounds.

Transient travelers avoid if you can. The office is only open Monday-Friday till 4. Other times you have to find the night manager and hope he is willing to assist you. The residents at the park are not friendly and they let you know you are not welcome. It is too crowded to navigate and they are adding more sites without widening the roads or making some one way. Heads up Management you guys need help in running this facility.
