Privately owned, close to nature, far from town, no amenities like LP(that stopped in 06 and trucks not allowed in except for park models)...they okay pets, but keep changing minds about how many (only two allowed maybe, maybe not depends on owner's mood)...they keep waffling about everything, sheds, hookups, lots, you name it...electric on, off, in summer mostly off...no concrete pads to speak of so it floods a lot, mega-flooding. No wifi, store at front has 2-year-old cans of soup...just not my idea of customer care. Prices up, amenities down. Sad. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice campground not too crowded during the winter rush. We were able to get last-minute reservations despite the late-February booking. The front half of the park appears to be permanent snow-birds; the back half for nightly and weekly travelers. The sites are very large, all grass with significant distance between neighboring sites. TV, even without cable, and cell reception were both excellent. There are lots of birds and plenty of opportunities to be up-close. It's close to Tampa (~30 minutes w/o traffic) and close to freeways but not so close that there's any noise. The only complaint was that access to the dumpsters was inconvenient. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

No concrete pads. Pray for no rain, as this park floods bad! Too many dirty trees. Very old time camping experience. Too far from shopping, doctors, etc. - in the middle of nowhere. Surrounding area seedy. Old park, mostly old park models which have not been kept up. Nice pool. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is more slanted to adults. The many long term campers that are here are all older people and the activities were slanted toward them. The campground is quiet, and generally well maintained. We didn't use the restrooms or shower, but many others did every day. The pool was not open while we were there. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were there for a week. The close proximity to Tampa allowed for easy visits to town. When we were there the state fair was at the fairgrounds just at the intersection of I-75 and I-4. The sites were fairly large,however the many large trees made them seem smaller and in some cases, hard to get into. WiFi service was available at an extra price. In the site where I was, it was easily accessed, available and fast. Not a site that I would use again, except as a last resort. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Mainly for people who stay there for permanent. However, very nice staff. We were parked way out in back. Back in stares right into the other back in rear windows. Really close. Lots of Club activities. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for a couple of months. This park is very accessible to shopping, restaurants and the I -75. Our campsite was a little tight with our neighbor being very close on our patio side, it was also in 100% shade. I would say that the only downside about this campground is that they don't have very many large campsites in the open, most of their campsites are in the shade. The management, workers and other campers were extremely friendly and helpful. They have a good swimming pool and planned activities during the season. We would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We really love this park. The towering live oaks and palmetto make you feel that you have gone back in time to old Florida! Floating down the river in a kayak or canoe is one of the most peaceful experiences you can find a few minutes away from Tampa and Orlando. The campsites vary a lot in size and accessibility - so read the driveway length notations carefully. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent State Park. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great pool. Many walking trails along river. Sites are varied in size and will handle most any size rig. We love this park and have stayed here several times. Will definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A lot of permanent/seasonal sites, but they were in good repair, and the people were very friendly. During a “fun shuffle” period, they taught us how to play shuffleboard. A lot of events. We had some low-lying branches and Spanish moss that hit the top of the MH when the wind blew; we stopped by the office to ask to have them trimmed…by the time we returned to our site, the staff was already trimming away. This is the first Wilder park we stayed at and look forward to staying at others. I would have preferred 50 amp. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here during the AKC Tampa dog show. There were plenty of people with pets - all under control. People with pets are required to keep their pets confined to the pets section. This is a quite retirement community park - it is not advertised as a park for children. Lots of permanent and semi-permanent residents. All we encountered were friendly - but not to the point we considerd as being busy bodies. Satellite TV access is difficult due to trees. Cable TV not available but you can receive four local stations using antenna. Sites are adequate size and mostly level with small concrete pad. Park was designed before "big rigs" were common and site access and roads are snug and could use repaving and widening. Trees were trimmed back, none dragged on top of motorhome. Office staff was friendly. The park is now under Wilder Corp. We saw maintenance staff working deligently to correct problems. There was an issue with our water hook up and the maintenance staff was there within two minutes of being called. We would stay here again as an overnight or short stop over. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here to access Busch Gardens. Wished we stayed at the SP nearby instead. We had to pay $2.50 a night for our 6 yo to stay with us, but there is nothing at all for children here. No BBall court, not allowed in pool or hot tub (total people allowed in pool is 18?!) No playground,not allowed in clubhouse, etc. Not family friendly at all. Spaces were extremely tight, trees were in the way, all spaces that I could see were back-ins. The concrete pads were in the center of all the sites and the electric, water hookups were too close to the rigs. We were meeting a rally group that attended the RV Supershow in TPA. One of the members had to find someone to cut tree limbs out of the way so he could park. The couple that was supposed to be next to us could not fit in the space they were given and had to be moved. The park does not allow semi-pulled coaches. The roads are extremely narrow and trees hang low over many sites and some are very unlevel. We did not see any bathrooms/shower area. They could have them but we could not find them. Everyone that helped us seemed nice, but most poeople had only started working at the RV park that week. Our group had chosen this park for the last 4 years because of their pet rules-some members have large, but friendly dogs. Park is under new ownership and they were told only dogs under 25 lbs. from now on. Another couple were not able to get into the pet section and were told to carry their dog the 2 spaces that they had to go to be in the pet section. An older couple behind us had a propane campfire and were turned in to management. They came out to look at it to make sure it was not emitting smoke. Park seems full of busybodies and too many rules. We will NOT be back, could not wait to leave. This by far was the one park we have found that we would not recommend to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Under new management that appears nice enough at first - fellow has a rather hot and quick temper - many, many trees which is nice until storm season, but shade is good - can get LP, ponds have dried up in summer heat, but all in all not a bad park. Close to shopping. They want Class A coach owners to put white siding around coach and set up permanent sewer attachment...Silly to do that if you roll! Pet policy changed to only 2 pets, I have two tiny dogs and a small cat (all inside pets) will not get rid of one, period. They don't push the point yet. Yet, no one seems to worry about all the feral cats roaming about. Are all parks like this? Owned by others, managed by irritable people? Amazing journey for a full-timer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We LOVE this place..So much that we bought one of the mobile homes that were for sale in the park. Now we can go there whenever we want! Loved the shade and the lush greenery. LOVED THE POOL! Pretty ponds with lighted fountains. Friendly community! Close to shopping...take a left out of the park for nearby City Shopping...or a right for down-the-road Small Town shopping. I hope to eventually move here full time!!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

One word of caution: BEWARE OF CROCODILE IN POND. We camped here in a Motorhome.
