Riverside RV Resort
Overview
Riverside RV Resort offers a tranquil escape tucked along the scenic Peace River in the heart of Florida’s cattle country. This resort provides a blend of natural beauty and modern comforts, making it a staple for travelers looking to experience the authentic charm of Old Florida. With its shaded sites and well-maintained grounds, the park serves as a gateway to the peaceful landscapes of DeSoto County while maintaining a high standard for seasonal residents and short-term visitors.
Location & Surroundings
The resort is perfectly positioned on the banks of the Peace River, a waterway famous for its slow-moving currents and unique fossil hunting opportunities. Arcadia is known for its historic downtown and quiet atmosphere, situated well away from the hustle of the coastal cities. Visitors are surrounded by ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss and a variety of local wildlife, creating an immersive environment where nature is the primary focus of the stay.
Amenities & Park Features
Guests have access to a robust list of facilities designed for both relaxation and socialization. The park features many highlights to improve the travel experience:
- A large heated swimming pool and sun deck for year-round enjoyment.
- Direct access to the water via a private boat ramp and fishing pier.
- A spacious clubhouse that acts as the hub for organized community events and games.
- Full hookup sites equipped with both 30 and 50 amp electrical service for big-rig compatibility.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The local area is rich with unique experiences, starting with the antique shops of downtown Arcadia, often called the antique capital of the state. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy canoeing or kayaking on the Peace River, searching for shark teeth and prehistoric fossils. For a change of pace, local guides offer airboat tours, and the region is home to world-class birdwatching and hiking trails in several nearby state parks and wildlife management areas.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for nature lovers and retirees who prefer a slower pace of life and a community-oriented atmosphere. It is particularly well-suited for those who enjoy water-based activities like kayaking or fishing right from their campsite. Because of the peaceful setting and seasonal social events, it is a favorite for winter snowbirds seeking a warm, friendly home where the focus is on relaxation and outdoor recreation in a scenic environment.

Also I have to say I've been camping since i was a little girl ...I have never seen a campground bathroom as clean as the ones here, They are spotless! Just had to share that... This time the kids got to see some gators swimming while we were fishing !

This RV park is top notched. The facility is very well maintained. The staff is very polite. The other guests were pleasant and seemed happy to be visiting the park. We have stayed there three times to date. We would not think twice about a return. The price was very fair. Recommend.

Great place. Nice amenities, super nice people. Everything is extremely well kept. They have a boat ramp and pier on the peace river. Very large lots and reliable utilities.

The majority of the campgrounds are long term campers. Very clean, bathrooms and laundry facilities are sparkling clean. Lots of amenities. Friendly staff. We were told our site was 30 amp but it was 50 and we didn't have an adapter. The maintenance man was quick to help and was very kind to offer us an adapter for our stay at no charge. Will definitely return!

Solid RV resort, good amenities staff professional and friendly. One fishing pier has been tagged out of service for quite a bit of time. I understand there was a jet ski accident and the pier has been out since with no visible defects. But overall a solid place to stay.

This was our first, ever stay in an RV Resort of this size. We were escaping extreme southern snow and ice the third week in January 2025 by traveling to Southern Florida. We usually boondock with little to nothing around, so this was different for us. The RV community was incredibly friendly. The check in process was simple even coming in shortly after hours. There was a lot of activities for everyone if they wanted. And there were a lot of amenities. We simply enjoyed the nice weather and peacefulness after visiting friends in the area.

This RV Resort has a very friendly staff. The grounds are kept very clean. There are two pools onsite and both were clean as was the pool deck. The hot tub wasn’t up to my standards of hotness, but the jets worked pretty good. There are freshwater lakes onsite and piers to access the Peace river for fishing. There is s boat launch. The cell service in the area is ok, but no free wi-fi. We visited in late September 2024.
