While the previous negative reviews has some truth in them it boils down to what you really want/need from a RV park. It's a lovely area and the staff were mostly friendly. The sewer smell someone mentioned is acutally from the sulfur springs and is totally natural. The electric and water hook ups were not the same distance from each pad making long extensions necessary is some cases. The shaded lots are mostly taken and are populated pretty much by yearly residents and many are run down. RV's that are covered in mildew and lots of junk strewn around. However much of the park is nice and very peaceful. There are no outside lights and one has to be careful at night because of bears checking out the dumpsters. The monthly rent is $205.00 plus whatever your electricity usage is. I haven't got an electric bill yet but I expect it to be around $35 to $40. I have Verizon and cell phone sevice is good. I also have Verizon Broadband Wireless internet and that service is good here too. When you first move in you get a complimentary river cruise and the canoes are free during the week. People staying here range from a guy living in his van to big four slide out motorhomes. The residents here seem very friendly. If you are not expecting a gated community and love the state park environment, then this park is a real bargin. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The writeups on this "resort" may have some basis in fact - years ago. The park itself is a nice piece of property. However, the "office" is non-existant, there is a sort of window-service snack bar. The advertised log flume rides have been replaced by a hand written sign on a torn piece of cardboard nailed to the back side of the guard shack saying "flume rides have been permenantly removed". In our 5 days there we never saw anyone move the 2 old boats that are nailed to the dock (they are advertised as running evry hour 9-4) . Pets are not allowed - after our first night there, I was awakened by a barking dog. It seems that the many permanant residents have them. Additional $2.00 per day elec charge (not listed anywhere), many old rigs on seasonal sites with their tires sunk to the axles and covered with mildew. They stick an Avery stick on label onto an outdated brochure as a gate pass. Too bad, in the right hands this could be a nice park. Story is the current owners are waiting for the State of Florida to come up with the right price so they can add it to the rest of the wildlife preserve that surrounds it. That would explain why they do not put any money into it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It's a cheap place to spend the winter, but you would not want to use their restrooms as they are very poor. The lots are large, 50% of them have shade. The power is fair during the winter months, but poor during the hotter months. This is my 3rd winter here and my rent avg $290 per month which includes electric and taxes. As other post have said, they nickle and dime you to death. There is a natural spring which has a sulfur odor. This spring feeds into the Wekiva River. It's ok but not great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
