This is a very symmetrically laid out RV park. Golf course is not integrated into the layout to make it more interesting destination park. All nice units on clean sites. We did not see any run down RV. Lake is down at least five feet for the past five years, so there is no dock access. Public dock is apparently nearby with water access. Very satellite friendly especially in the grass area (site 208-381). Sites 1-207, pull thru with concrete pads, were not available for my one night stay. I got a grass site with full hookups including 50A. My disappointment was that I had to disconnect my toad and back in, yet there were many grass sites where I could have pulled thru an empty site to an assigned site -- it is all grass. So if you want a pull thru for a night, tell the office that you would like to pick a site where you can drive through an empty site and you will call them with the site number if you assigned site does not permit it. The staff cannot visualize which vacant sites would permit a pull thru with their reservation system. Management understood my suggestion. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful resort. Stayed there one night, site was clean and well kept. Registering staff was very friendly and efficient. Loverly area, would definitely recommend short term or long term.... We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very well laid out RV park. My expectation was very high and I was disappointed they did not have daily activities, besides golf. The office staff was very friendly. The Store was poorly stocked. I would not come back for another visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Grand Lake RV & Golf Resort is a beautiful resort, with many amenities. However, waking up our first morning there, all was not what it seemed. Even though there is a sign posted stating clearly that there is night time security, we soon learned from nearby RVers that during the night various vehicles had been broken into. Golf cart enclosures & motorcycle covers had been unzipped and several cargo trailers had been rifled through. Golf cart(s) were stolen, and even a car was stolen! They have a security gate at the entrance which is not being used for whatever reason. I also counted numerous golf carts parked at various sites with big signs that say 'Security' on them, but I haven't seen any of these security people riding around at night. I'm not sure if they are not doing their job, or if maybe the resort owners / managers don't pay them to patrol at night. I was also told that this is the third time in 12 months that this has happened, the last 2 times several RV's were broken into, some while the owners were inside, sleeping! As nice as Grand Lake is, I will not be staying here again unless I know that some security measures are being implemented. This is a very rural & somewhat isolated resort, and for it to have no security measures in force, as well as scarce street lighting is just asking for trouble. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good acess off I-75. Camped on one of their super sites, cement pad Pull-Thru. Plenty of walking area. Well cared for campground. This is our second time here. Good for Big Rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful place. Clean pool, golf course, staff very friendly. Limited cable. Not much shade. Jai Lai next door, but not very busy this time of year. The ants are FEROCIOUS-- could not stand for a minute, even on the concrete, without biting ants crawling up my legs. Even with the cords up off the ground and tires sprayed, the ants got in the camper. I would rate it much higher if not for the ants. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy access east of I-75. Attended RV club rally on grass unshaded sites. Park also offers concrete pads and shaded sites. Sites and park neatly maintained. Clubhouse was very new. Office staff very friendly. Wi-Fi signal was weak or non-existent. Signal was better on hard sites. Nice executive golf course. We camped here in a Motorhome.

In November 2006 with a site map in front of us, and with the assistance of the lady taking our reservation, we booked a deluxe campsite for a 1 week stay in March 2007. The total amount was charged to our credit card immediately. Three weeks before our arrival date we were phoned and our site was given to someone else and we were assigned to a standard site out in the field. My phone calls to request reconsideration were not responded to. We did receive a refund though when we called to cancel our reservation. Why put a site map on your web page if you do not honour fully paid reservations? Very disappointing treatment. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a beautiful destination type park with its own golf course. The sites are paved and very long. Streets are wide and access is extremely easy throughout. The location is between Ocala and Gainesville, so there isn't much to do in the area. We only stayed 2 nights so I can't comment on the activities here. I would have rated this park a 10 except the free WiFi signal at our site was weak and cut in and out. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was excellent! We stayed there for several months. Great management, friendly staff, CLEAN, the pool was wonderful, area was very scenic, plenty to do and planned activities as well. The karaoke with Roger was so much fun! The sites are roomy. WiFi worked great and was free - as it should be. The only time it got cramped was during rallies. Other than that no complaints. You should be aware though that we have friends who have gone there several times since then and they have stated that some things have changed. According to them, the management is not good anymore, they seem to not want children there, and the whole atmosphere has become very "uptight". If we get back that way I will post a new update about the conditions then. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is one of the best campgrounds in Florida! They have very large level campsites, beautiful views of the lake, and friendly people. The restrooms and showers are very modern and clean. My wife and I have made this campground one that we will visit frequently! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This place is great! After being disappointed by some of the so called resort campgrounds which are one step out of the getto, Grand Lake is a real resort. Pull thrus are paved, all utilities are provided including cable & free WiFi (which actually works). Pet friendly and can actually handel a big rig. We had no problem with our MH & trailer (70 ft). The staff was efficient and friendly. The rate is great and even better with Passport America. We will be stopping here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have stayed here in years past for the winter. I have previously rated it a 10. However, this short visit of 2 days was enough to lower the rating to a 7. It has deteriorated markedly from past in terms of general maintenance of sites, front entry, office and roadways. The so-called cafe is ludicrous. So, it still has a lot of of positives but it is no longer the gem it was just a couple of years ago. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall, this is a very nice resort-type destination. Although it's named Grand Lake, for the most part, you can't see the lake unless you go down by the cafe at the far end of the property. From there, you can walk out on the docks to the water. The entrance is quite Grand with a long, paved drive (all roads are paved) that passes through large iron gates and leads you into the property which eventually opens up as you enter. On the right, you'll encounter a large section of grassy sites, described as "Superior" sites which can be rented for a slight discount. They are also available for rallys, storage, etc. Once past this section, there are two other sections referred to as "Deluxe" sites. There is a large section on the right and a smaller section on the left. Also to the left is the golf course. These deluxe sites have paved entrance/exit sections with a concrete pad. Ours was very level. All the pads are sufficiently wide and quite long. The sites themselves have adequate, albeit, not overly generous side yards. Between some sites, there are small shrubs/trees and, on a few sites, there are some rather large, trees with dangling moss. Some of the sites need some manicuring as there are weeds growing up between the paved sections and the concrete pads, the shubbery/trees need trimming to allow for slideouts, etc. You'll also encounter an occasional pothole on the roadways. There is some evidence of ants with the typical hills that are indicative of red ants, but they will treat your site if you feel it's necessary and request it. There is a nice reception area with friendly, helpful staff. In that same area, is a mailroom where mail is sorted and placed in mailboxes each day. UPS and Fed-Ex is also sorted for guests. Also in the clubhouse is an exercise room and a large room with a fully equipped kitchen used for parties, social gatherings, daily activities, etc. Down by the water, is the store with limited stock and the cafe. The pool is heated and there are tennis courts, bocce ball, horse shoes and shuffleboard. Golf carts are also available to rent. The cable is rather limited with only 13 stations, but many were using their satellites. WiFi is available, but the reception can be limited and ours would occasionally disconnect. This is a family-friendly resort, but there is not an abundance of children. The new managers are friendly, eager to please and responsive to the needs of the guests. Despite some minor issues, this is definitely one of the better resorts that you'll encounter. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I can’t say enough good things about this park. The new management and office staff is customer friendly and definitely service oriented, much more so then the previous ones. The grounds keeping is meticulous and the front entry and gate area to the park has been manicured and looks amazing. The wireless internet service is free and fast. The golf course is in perfect condition. It’s a 9 hole executive course, but as an avid golfer it was still challenging enough for me, but not intimidating to my novice wife. The sites are enormous. I easily fit my 40 foot motor home and 20 foot tow trailer. The 88 degree pool was perfect for that late night swim. All in all I had one of my best RV experiences ever. A true 10/10/10 park if there ever was one! The only down side to the whole stay was the last day when I had to leave. I have stayed here several times but this last time was by far the best of all. I stayed here in May 2005 and already have made reservations for later this year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Grand is the word. We looked at many parks before choosing this one and this one is tops! We enjoyed the heated swimming pool, WiFi, and the quiet secluded area. The pier is repaired, the golf course is beautiful and the bath houses are were immaculate during our stay. We never had a problem with insects at all. The new management are very helpful for any needs you might have. They were also working hard to improve the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park had very large pull-thru sites. We pulled in and didn't even have to level. We used this park as a stop-over for 1 night. Easy access to I-75. The bathrooms were very clean and has marina and golf course. Very quiet cg at night and friendly office staff. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Sites very large, level concrete pads, and all roads paved. Laundry and bathrooms spotless. Nice dog run area. Store/golf shop only stocked with the most basic of supplies. 9 hole golf course short, but nice. Very reasonable rates to play -- $15.00 per 18 holes, cart included. The very large lake was nice to view, and we saw many fishing on it. There used to be a marina on site, but it is closed. This is a very well designed campground and is designed for the largest class A's. While it is out in the middle of "horse country", it is only a short ride to Ocala or Gainsville to eat or shop. It is one of the quietest parks I have ever stayed in. We will return in the fall to stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was one of the friendliest we have ever stayed at. There is an area by the office for approximately 15 campsites and there is where we stayed. This was the closest area to the boat docks and also was a beautiful oak and cedar hammock with plenty of shade and the sites easily accommodated our 34' travel trailer and tow vehicle. Sites were level. They offer boat dockage, golfing, golf carts, have activities, very nice swimming pool area, camp fires are allowed and there is even a cafe on site. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and cannot wait to go back. The fishing was also great--- catfish, bass and speck. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park is over run with red ants. No mail service at all. Park changed hands this year and new owners are ill advised on rv park management. Food in cafe is awlful and cafe is dirty. Dock is barricaded and unusable. County dock is beside camp and is much better, but not accessable through camp. No propane as no one there is qualified to pump. This was a beautiful RV resort, but no longer. Safety is a problem. Golf course is in need of repairs. Plenty of other parks in area which are nicer and closer to Ocala. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was my worst camping experience in over 50 years. We arrived on Sunday noon to learn that no one was really on duty and the office was closed. We had phoned for a reservation and were told it was not needed. We had plenty of open campsites to choose from since they are all in the open and you can see what is unoccupied. We attempted to hook up the TV but it wouldn't work. I went to the golf pro shop, which was open, and asked for help. The golf ranger/handiman was called and he arrived soon only to jump all over me since I had told the pro shop I was in site 136 when he said I was really in 135. (It was actually 136A and 135 was clear at the end of the row and 136 was also vacant.) He had a small TV that he attempted to use to check reception. He also told me that he had a lot of golf carts to look after and didn't have time to do this. Since he couldn't get any power from the box, he couldn't check the reception. The next morning, when we checked out, the manager/owner or whoever he was, reduced my wife to tears when he jumped all over her claiming I had "cussed out" the ranger. I did fuss for having no cable and the fact that they were closed tight on Sunday. The manager/owner told my wife that nothing was wrong with the TV and it was my rig that was wrong. She indicated we were hoping this would be a place where we could stay several months next year. He made some comment to the effect that we weren't the type of people he wanted there. My TV worked fine at the next campground. I'm uncertain how this park maintains its 10/10/10 and 55555 ratings. They obviously never visited with the manager/owner. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice resort out in the middle of nowhere. There isn't much to the lake, but the resort was very nice. Not far from Silver Springs, and it was a nice stopping point between Destin and Disney. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice RV park. More sites have been added and now you have cement and grass sites. Hole in lake has been repaired and lake is full of water again. Golf course has been reworked. No noise at this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Gorgeous,well maintained, #10 facility that needs to improve staff/customer relations. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is very quiet and clean. The leak in the lake has evidently not been fixed, but the golf course is fine. The place is big and sites are large and laid out nicely. We enjoyed our stay here and would go back. This is really a nice place, but they need to make sure to keep the prices from going up anymore. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice place - woodall's 5-5 and TL 10/10*/10 all sites have large pads and patios, pull thru, 20/30/50 amps. Last year lake was 10,000 acres, now dry due to small sink hole in lake floor. This is under repair now and water should return soon. Nice 9 hole golf course on site. Great place, no noise. More new sites will be added by end of 2002 year. We camped here in a camper.

A really Nice & Clean RV campground. Friendly folks and overall a quiet park. The only real drawback to Grand Lake is there is no longer a Grand Lake...not even a small lake. They lost their water to a sump hole and dry weather. The Gators are the only real animal to see (8 of them). The park is a ways from the closest big city Ocala but is a great spot to rest and relax. I think the golf is also bad...the fairways are so hard one of my normal 180 yard drives traveled over 290 yards. But I would go back for the peace and quiet. Stayed there April 2002 We camped here in a camper.

Their name says it all. This is truly a "GRAND" campground, located near I-75 at exit 72 between Gainesville and Ocala. The campground, clubhouse, showers, and all facilities are spotless. This is a 10-10-10 resort and well worth a stop. We camped here in a camper.
