Assessable areas of the park are spred out but lots of wildlife and trails are generally good for hiking, but some have large areas of soft sand if biking.

RECOMMEND!!! This place truly is a little piece of heaven. The location is beautiful and peaceful - exactly what we were hoping for. You won’t find flashy, over-the-top amenities here, but you’ll have everything you actually need: a lovely clubhouse, great fishing, the sweetest little alligator to watch, a nearby boat ramp, and a nice park just across the street. The neighborhood is extremely friendly and welcoming, yet it’s not the kind of place where people intrude on your space. Everyone’s kind and respectful - you can enjoy a chat when you want to, but still have your quiet time when you’re outside relaxing or doing your own thing. Dogs are welcome, which we love! If you’re looking for a quiet, friendly, down-to-earth RV park that feels like home, this really is a beautiful piece of paradise.

Parakeet took over. The place is basically a slum landlord. 875.00 a month,,for nothing. They don't mow, one month they say they do,,than they say it's up to resident. The rv side,has electricity included, the park models have to pay electricity. The water is nasty,,always boil notice,,when they do have water. Mail room is a joke. It's little cubby spots with adress number on them. So mail can be stolen. If heavy rain, plan on roads to be washed out. For the price,,you can stay in a much better place. The corporate office has no concern for the people, only to get there money. Park needs lots of update repairs.

Went through application process, was approved, they sent me the approval letter said they would be in contact. After a few days I called and sent emails over the course of several weeks with no call back from management team. I’m now out the money I paid for their required background check that I passed and still haven’t heard back from them. I told them in the application 3-30-2025 was the move date I now had to find a pay for a different place to stay and they essentially stole the application fee from me. This is the worse customer service I’ve ever experienced. Can’t comment on the condition of the park as I’ve never been but I would guess it is just as miss managed

Feb 12 2022 - Paid ( 30.00 )for specific spot. Wasn't available . Had stayed last year for over a month. New management this year. Manager ? wasn't available most of the time. How about if they have to have a residence at the park ? Several days of our last week no hot water and the dryers didn't work. Forcing us along with others to use a laundromat several miles away. We left 2 weeks early knowing that there is no refunds. A month was enough . Will not be back and will not recommend this RV park to anyone.

I lived there for a few years before I moved back to Texas. Absolutely love the park. It’s beautiful and very peaceful. If you are looking to relax and have a good time, you should go check out the park. It’s right off Manatee River.
