Camped in 45 foot motor home. Easy access off Interstate 75. Across the street from Wal-Mart. Paved interior roads and sites in older section. All the buildings including the club house were very neat and clean. Swimming pool, basketball, horseshoes, and shuffleboard are all available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for a month, hence the rate shown. Exceptionally clean campground, showers, and bathrooms. Great activities. Super clean pool. Walk less than a block to Super Walmart. Only 8 miles to Webster, FL, the site of a huge flea market on Mondays. Convenient to I-75 but far enough away so as not to hear it. Pull-thru spaces are relatively narrow, but angled so you won't feel packed in. Back-in spaces are very wide but require a 3 month minimum stay. Staff is very, very nice and clubhouse, billiard room, card room, and puzzle room are all immaculate. I would definitely return to this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park with paved roads and sites. Beautifully kept grounds and a sparkling pool. Staff always with a smile. The Walmart within walking distance was a help. Passport accepted. This would have been a 10 but the sites are a bit narrow, no tables and no cable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is very under-rated in Trailer Life. We booked for 2 weeks, and stayed 2 months. Immaculate grounds, excellent activities, best pool area we've seen, plus great entertainment. You can walk across road to Super-Walmart. Easy day-trips for sightseeing. Very easy on and off I-75. Kind of hate giving such a good review because it is a well-kept secret. Will definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have stayed at this park 3 years in a row for 2 to 3 months at a time. It's a very, very nice park, exceptionally clean, people are friendly. However, it is probably the last time we will stay as the rates are going up. Last we paid $350 per month and I believe next winter it will be $450. I think this is excessive, and also they want to have all the money in advance. One of the reasons you have a mobile unit is for flexibility and that's important to us. However, if you want a good park, next to Walmart it's a good spot to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice clean campground. Sites are a little close but OK. People in office were very nice. Close to interstate. Lots of permanent or seasonal type trailers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground is very nice and very well kept. The staff are very nice and have a lot of things to do. The sites are a little close but nice the area is not so nice but wall mart is next door. I saw a man picking up dog poop and I was not happy that some campers with dogs are so lazy that they can't pick up after there own dogs. This is why some parks do not allow any dogs. I have 2 dogs so don't think I am not a dog lover. We will be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
AWESOME...one of the nicest parks we've been in. WOW bathrooms, great activities, well maintained. Just learned (june2005) the park has been sold. I sure hope the new owners live up to the old owners standards because I'd sure like to go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great location, next to Wally World and one block from I-75. Newer park that is very well maintained. The overnight/short term spots are all pull throughs but a little close together IMHO. All RV spots are blacktoped. Long term spaces are huge but not paved. The roads are all wide, paved and gently lit. Dislikes: no picnic tables anywhere. One trash collection location in this big park. The area is a little bit boring. Bottom line: A very nice place. We'll come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have been to quite a few campgrounds but I must say none of them meet the standard of
this park. I would have to say it is the most pristine campground I have been to.This campground has been put together with a lot of thought and ingenuity.I can't wait to go back and they are still expanding. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice new park. On the surface it appears to be all right. However, the rules for children are not enforced and the kids "run wild". Rules of the park are strictly enforced for the snowbirds, but the overnighters can ignore them and the owners just ignore it, i.e., no washing of vehicles is very strictly enforced, but not for the overnighters. Some snowbirds try to intimidate others into their rules and the owners do not want any confrontation so ignore the complaints. Rates are to go up after this season, will not return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

New park, owners on site and doing it the "right" way! Park accepts children but puts limits on length of stay. Monthly rate is much cheaper than daily and six month rate is even better. Phones are not instant on but can be arranged through the telephone company. Many activities in the winter. Close to everything. New Super WalMart is across the street, walkable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a brand new park. All amenities are brand new. All sites are paved and pull thru. Staff/Owners are friendly and helpful. Easy access from I-75, near Dade Battlefield State Park and world famous Webster Flea Market (open every Monday & livestock auction on Tuesday). Only 45 minutes from Tampa, 60 minutes from Orlando, 30 minutes to Gulf of Mexico, 30 minutes to Ocala---great base camp New Walmart Supercenter under
constuction in area. Good fishing in Lake Panasoffkee. We stayed here in late 2000 when they first opened and again in 2001 We camped here in a camper.
This park was large and had a variety of sites, many of which were seasonal. There were a lot of activities available including day trips arranged through the office (extra $). There were also park hosted music events (scheduled and impromptu), exercise classes, bingo, cards, quilt shows, dancing, church services. The majority of the people who stay here are retired, so there were few children around. Those who were there were likely visitors for short stays. There are 2 parks side by side, The Oaks and Red Barn RV Resort which was recently acquired by the owners of The Oaks. The Red Barn is much closer to I75 and not as nice but is improving. The pools (3) are nice, heated, and there is a whirlpool at the one by the office. The jets were not working while we were there but the water was very warm and took the chill off. The down side to this park is that the wi-fi was horrible, not owned by the park, and not reliable. There was a $4 per day fee for little to no access. I guess you could go to the library at the park to get web access if you wanted to, we didn't. There is a super Walmart across from the park so you can get groceries and misc. other necessities without going far. Everything else is a drive to get to. We enjoyed ourselves here, would have liked a nicer site but it was OK. If I were going to stay longer than a few days I would have liked to have more options for what site I stayed on. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here a few times in the past 5 years. Always very clean and friendly. Lots of activities and they have a dinner at least once a month. Most of the campground is seasonal or long term rentals. Tends to be more retirees than younger families. Shopping is very close and there are a couple of local restaurants. Would definitely recommend a winter stay in this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Older park very well maintained. Nice park for a short stay. The park is clean, friendly
staff. The water is heavily chlorinated. The park is under powered, running electrical appliances was a challenge. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an old rundown campground. There is no 50 amps notwithstanding the writeup in Trailer Life--the 30 amps are very poor and you frequently get readings of 90-93. The toaster or coffee pot often blows a breaker. The water connections frequently leak and the Owner refuses to correct any problems with the electric, water or any other problem. In addition, the water supply is so bad that any time you use the laundromat it turns
all your clothes yellow. The office and grounds staff are rude and unfriendly as is the owner who is also very arrogant. This is an unfriendly park for kids and adults as well---Avoid this park We camped here in a camper.
Lovely setting with lots of oak trees and grass. Very quiet. Clubhouse great with lots of planned and informal activities. Great swapmeet nearby in Webster on Mondays. EVERYBODY friendly here. Called in a water leak and they fixed it immediately. Roads old, narrow and in need of repair. Propane very reasonable. Good launch place within an hour of lots of attractions. Lots of Geocaches around. Sprint aircard worked great here at full broadband speed for Internet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an older park with small sites and narrow roads. This is an Escapees campground so there are lots of activities. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Current Escapee rate is $14.50 plus electricity, a fair rate.But this is a pretty basic, rather rustic, quiet place in the country. Hard to believe I-75 is nearby. Front office guys were super nice, and friendly park residents & travelers were having food events. Grounds were lovely, with live oak, pine trees, palmetto, fruit trees, hibiscus. Too bad the mosquitoes and ants were plentiful, bad enough to make us glad to leave after 2 days. Nothing much to do here anyway, and the pool was pretty bad. No cable tv, no WiFi. Nice Library plus a modem connection. don't expect too much and you'll be okay! We camped here in a Motorhome.
An old campground with roads and sites in disrepair. Large sites with nice library ,computer area and rec room. The indoor pool was dreary and cold. Staff helpful. No tables or cable and you have to pay for your electric. For $18.00 I can stay at a first class local campground and I don't have to join escapees. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Escapee park, members get discount. Park very friendly. Park needs some work done to sites and roads. Indoor pool is great as is activity center. Quite a few sites are used as seasonal rentals. We stay here whenever in area for a few nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Spotlessly clean Escapee Park. Big sites, grassy and surprisingly level. Lots of trees. A beautiful, well maintained park that we thoroughly enjoyed! Will be back here for sure! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
No WIFI, TV reception poor and no cable. Lots of trees, tight entrance and interior roads, check out site first if you need satellite access. Very friendly staff. Lots of in park activities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Older park now owned by SKPs. Great staff! Used this park as an overnight before going WDW Ft. Wilderness. Wide grassy site - indoor pool - clubhouse w/evening activities. Many snowbirds; but, always space for SKP members. Even though this park caters to FT RVers, our family felt VERY welcome. Propane fill was quick and elec was fair metered price. Will use this CG for all future launches to WDW. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is an Escapee park with warm and friendly service. Sites are mostly gravel and a gravel road. Gets pretty dusty when it doesn't rain. It has a small indoor pool. Not much going on around Bushnell. Major city, Ocala, is one hour away. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
