We stayed on the lake and everything was excellent. The park was fairly empty since lots of folks had headed back up north. The park was clean and well maintained and pet friendly. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed in the Fort Myers area at different campgrounds but have enjoyed Cypress Woods more than any of them. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to buy a lot there. I realize there has been some complaints about the developer having control of things, but to me this is normal in a situation like this until a high percentage of the total lots are sold. As far as the developer controlling the board, remember it is the owners and the developer that vote the board members in. Also, the board members are volunteers. If there are complaints about board members then new people can step up to the plate, come the next annual vote, and try to get voted in. We have loved Cypress Woods and do appreciate how well it is looked after and appreciate the volunteers that help make this a wonderful place to stay. It is so peaceful and the different type of birds we see on the lake every day have been so enjoyable. They have wonderful dinners there and many other activities for you to take part in if you so choose. The lots are bigger than many resorts we have stayed at. Their wifi is a bit outdated, but we have been able to connect everyday with our external hawking high-gain adapter. We are very excited about owning a lot at Cypress Woods. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an RV condo-resort that is a good place to rent a site but a poor place to buy. Sites are large, 50 feet by 90 feet, and have large concrete pads and full hookups including phone and cable TV. We like the sites in the new D section the best, especially those on the lake. These sites are larger and have nicer views than the three older sections (A,B,C). In spite of what several previous reviewers have said, we found the park to be well located for shopping, spring training baseball, and the Florida Rep theater in downtown Fort Myers. The park is farther from Fort Myers Beach than other parks in the area, so if the beach is your primary interest I would go elsewhere. Ther best part of Cypress Woods are the people who own and rent there. We quickly made friends over the month we were there, and were treated as equals by lot owners and seasonal renters. The activities we went to, a Valentines dinner dance, steak fry, yoga classes, and so on were well run and lots of fun. The biggest downside of Cypress Woods is the developer and his office staff, and this is why I would recommend AGAINST buying here. We met many disgruntled lot owners who described some of the shenagians the developer has pulled. Two examples will suffice. (1) The park sprinkler system does not work, and yet the developer sent in a water tanker truck to take three 10,000 gallons loads of water to another property he owns. The water is paid for by lot owners. (2) The "homeowners association" board of directors are either employees of the developer, or hand picked by the developer to vote his way. As a result lot owners have no say in how the park is run, how money will be spent, or even what their monthly condo fee will be. There are countless other developer issues, which has caused a group of lot owners to hire a lawyer to fight the developer! As a renter you may not escape from the developer's clutches scot free: you may have to work with an individual we came to call Michelle the Minx, who is very unhelpful and obnoxious to renters, an opinion voiced by many other renters we met. Why the developer employs her I have no idea! You can rent directly from lot owners, which is far preferable. See notices posted in the laundry room or ask around if you visit the park. Overall, Cypress Woods is a very nice place to spend the winter with congenial people, spoiled only by a shyster developer and his employees. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park and friendly people. Sites are very small but manageable as long as you don't mind neighbors as all sites are face to face. Wi-Fi is available through a private company on a pay by time basis. Dog friendly yes but not much space for walking. Campground was clean and well maintained. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is advertised as a KOA, but lacks everything you come to expect from a KOA campground. The manager and employees were extremely rude. We had reservations for several days and ended up leaving the same day we arrived. We were put in a site that could not accommodate our RV and they tried to blame us for it even though we made our reservations over the phone! In the short amount of time we were there, several of their permanent tenants told us the park has gone down hill since the new manager was assigned to the park. Also, this campground advertises their property is on the water...the ocean is no where near them. Pass this place by. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good value for a Thousand Trails Member. We paid $120 for 7 nights. Beware, this is a very tight park to both enter and move around in. There are narrow 1 lane roads and narrow sites. The soil is sandy so "bogging" down into the site is an issue. 1 Motorhome was stuck all the way down the day we moved. The staff was helpful. The office is closed on Sunday which makes it hard to move into the correct site. We parked on a what turned out to be a leased site because no direction was given as to our correct site. We were told by Encore reservation to "pick any site". So we had to move on Monday. Lots of permanent sites and more are being added. No activities for children except pool. This is really an adult park. Every one we met was friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a bad place . The wifi did not work. Real bad mngt. Its a Wilder campground, and they don't spend a penny here. Will never return here again. Stinky pond on property. We've camped our whole life and never experienced anything like this place. Theres alot of run down permanents here from the 60's that need to be removed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

They are right on Highway 41 with a lot of traffic noise. They will tell you that it quiets down at night but they are not trying to sleep there. They are very strict on the dog rules, which are good, but if you do not know the rules you will be literally be ran down by the office manager and yelled at in front of anyone around. If there is anything that she doesn't agree with she will cuss and yell at anyone (her guests and the employees). The campground is well groomed and in pretty decent shape. If it is warm and people are running their air conditioners there will be a lot of power outages. Very few 50 AMP sites! They do not have enough picnic tables either. I would never stay at this campground again with what I experienced and seen from the manager. A lot of very nice people there that need to let the corporate office know how they are treated. I for one have. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV park has been here many years, so I am surprised it has not been reviewed. A few years ago it was bought by Wilder Corp.(they own resorts throughout Florida and Texas). I had a problem with this resort, and for that I rated them lower than I otherwise would have. I drive a big rig(45'), so do not like surprises, and always call ahead. In this case it was a month ahead of time. When I arrived I was assigned a site, but it did not have 50 amp. I require 50 amp, and in April in Florida would be needing the a/c which uses that amperage. When I contacted the front office I was told that there were no 50 amp sites available (my reservation was for two weeks), and that I was told when I made the reservation that 50 amp service may not be available. Since I would never had made the reservation under those circumstances, I protested, found another place to stay, and asked for a refund. If you go to their website you will see they have a very stringent refund policy. Well, they knew they were wrong, and two months later I got my refund. The park itself is fine. The entrance is cramped, but the roads and sites are fine. The pull-throughs have nothing but grass (i.e. no concrete, no gravel, no buffers). It is a well located park in South Fort Myers near WalMart. I would not return there, but others might find it to their liking. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is mostly manufactured park with semi/permanent residents. Not suitable for large RVs, lots are very close together with no turning room or parking for your tow vehicle. Never saw management. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Best staff ever. Polite, courteous, casual. Very clean park. Very nice people staying at park, including many French Canadians. Enjoyed the heated pool, the clean showers, the weekly movies, games and computer club. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is a beautiful park, Palm trees and I thought the sites were pretty roomy. The other guests were mostly seniors, we have 3 kids and for the most part they were extremely friendly. It is not child friendly. No things at all for kids except pool, which we got yelled at for splashing..There is a beach 1 mile down the road though which was decent. very close to fort Myers Beach, and Sanibel.. We took a cab into Sanibel beach, there is not much parking.. overall it was very nice, quiet , clean, and close to everything We camped here in a Motorhome.

When we talked on the phone, they made the place seem like a great RV Resort. Arriving on a Sunday, as per our reservation, the office was closed (2:30 PM) They had an emergency number listed, but it was answered by a fax machine. We picked out a site a proceeded to park & setup. When backing a water pipe, next to the road, was broken, but could not report it to the fax machine. Basically this a Trailer Park, with no amenities, that one would expect at an RV resort. I'm trying o be nice, but this place is a dump. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Had a terrific stay here. Far enough off the highway so you don't get any vehicle noise. Although there was a bit of confusion with my site, they situated us much closer to the pool and all amenities. Camping sites seemed a little tighter than normal. The pool is a good size and could be bigger given the activity, but very warm and very clean. Staff check it regularly to make sure it is up to standard. Washrooms are very clean and lots of laundry facilities. Staff are exceptionally helpful and plan lots of activities for their camping guests. We stayed there 5 days, weather was great and would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Shady Acres has some permanent mobile homes, many seasonal units as well as travelers such as ourselves. We enjoyed our 6 nites here and consider it a great value for Jan. in Ft. Myers. It's a very quiet location set back from the road and is very clean though not luxurious. Our seasonal neighbors and all those we met at the two (very well attended) community events were very friendly. Many have been returning to Shady Acres for decades. The pool aerobics looked fun but the class filled up before I got there. The pool is nice but small. The rate is with the Good Sam Discount. We would definitely camp here again in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The inside of shower in mens was dirty! The corners in the women's were dirty you could tell a man had cleaned because it wasn't done well, just a quick mop job. We were angry as we had used our CCUSA and were given the rate by phone we paid the amount for the stay as was expected by check. I called again on Dec 13th to verify the rate as noticed the dates had changed on the CCUSA internet site. They assured me that since it was taken as that time it would be honored. When we arrived they changed their mind, said new managers now and would not honor their previous quoted rate, but did give us a minor discount. Not Happy Campers! Our site was so small (we are 25 feet and no slides) that we could not even put up our awning. The pool is heated, but small, especially for the number of people trying to use it. It did have nice activities and a great duck/fish pond. I would never stay there again because I couldn't trust them. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overnight campground about 2 miles from the expressway. Basically open sites but many are too short for a big rig. We were able to squeeze our 40 footer into a site with some effort. Sites are wide with cement pads (no tables), and good 3 point connections. Most of the park is mobile homes and permanents but we were welcomed. Even in the high season, there were many sites available. A small pool is the extent of the recreational facilities, but the price was right. We stayed in a motor home. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Older park with many trees. Roads very narrow but able to navigate with our 40 ft. and tow. The office was very pleasant. We were pretty well checked in with the info. from my phone reservation. We had a paved long pull thru for just overnight. They have dog walks, but are in the darkest areas of the park around ponds and woods. Still very workable for the dogs. We stayed there on our way down to Key West and will stay on our return trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park with cement pull through sites. Accommodated my 45 foot Class A perfectly. Employees are extremely nice and helpful with practically anything you have questions about. We stayed here 3 weeks and enjoyed the peaceful park and the convenience of being close to endless shopping and restaurants! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a well-maintained older park with many park models; but lots of sites for RV's also. They have a nice pool and two clean, updated and reasonably priced laundry rooms. We were put in a site at the very back of the park between two Park Models, so it was very quiet. This is a nice park and convenient to shopping and only a few miles from I-75. We had many conversations with nice people who winter there. The only downside was no cable TV unless you are staying at least 30 days. We camped here in a Motorhome.
