Very clean campground with very friendly and helpful staff. We have stayed here twice, once last year and we returned this year. We are staying for the season and our rate reflects a seasonal rate of $1800 for 6 months. There are many regular scheduled activities from morning to evening if you are looking for something to do. There are few trees in most of the campground, but many sites on the edges are nicely shaded. They are adding more sites to handle the busy winter season. Wal-Mart is only about 3 miles, Post Office is close by but this is Wauchula, there is not a Mall nearby, you are in the country. This is a VERY quiet campground, very relaxing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Note: We emailed this review on 2/10/07 but it hasn't shown up yet. In case it never made it to you, here it is again: This campground is quite pleasant. About half the sites have 50 amp service and sewer service. The remaining sites have 30 amp service but no sewer service. There is a "honey wagon" service available for a fee. When you come into the park, you may not be able to get a sewer site right away. The rangers will have you pick a non-sewered site and they will place your name on a waiting list for a sewer site to become vacated. The system has some glitches but eventually works out. There are some fun events/activities scheduled if you wish to participate. One of the best assets of this park is the manager, Debbie. She is fun, friendly, and helpful. She truly seems to enjoy her job and believes her job is to make the campers happy. Her weekly Saturday "meet the manager" meetings are a hoot! Another tremendous asset to the park is that the Peace River is accessible from the park. If you wish to fish, gather fossils, canoe or kayak, you can. Just watch out for alligators. On two kayak trips we saw a 6 foot alligator and a much-larger three-legged gator they call "Stumpy" on the banks. Both gators splashed into the water as they noticed us. The bathrooms are spotless. Employees seem to be happy and pleasant to the guests. There are some huge potholes within the park that need to be addressed. We have been full timing for almost 7 years and enjoy using our Thousand Trails membership and visiting the TT parks. This park and its manager are gems! We camped here in a Motorhome.

About 1/2 of the sites are full hookup, but there is honey-dipper service available if needed. This preserve is great - personel, sites, amenities, trails. Upon arrival (Sunday), I chose an available site (W/E), but signed up for a sewer site as I don't have greywater holding tank. Next morning one was available and I moved with no problems. A very busy preserve during the 'season' of Jan-March with all kinds of activities daily, food service on weekends, ice cream socials, caravans to local attractions, and canoe trips (sign up). What started out as a one-week stay got extended due to pleasure!!! Laundry room has 5 washers and 6 dryers ($1.25/each), clean and well maintained. Bathhouses (2) were clean and well maintained. Pool was enjoyed by all as was the spa. We had daytime highs in the low 80's, and nights varied from 50's and 60's. While located just off US 17, traffic noise wasn't too bad. A Wal-mart Supercenter is located about 4 miles north of Peace River Preserve on US 17 in Wauchula, and a newly opened Sweetbay Grocery Store is about 3 miles north of the preserve in Wauchula. Eateries galore in Wauchula. Great stay at a great preserve with fantastic, friendly helpful folks. Lots of full-timers visiting while we were there. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is now a thousand trails membership park. One of the lowest rated of any we have been to. Old and no updates yet. Nice community rooms. Dirty old hot tub. Nice attendants. More than half the sites do not have sewer connections. Some have phone. Road noise a problem here. Staying 9 days. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Went to this campground on 5/14/04 , taking advantage of KOA's promotion of "One night of free camping ". The pool facilities were very nice ( incl. a hot tub ). We were alittle disapointed in not being able to take the canoe trip they advertise. They said they didn't have enough people . I would have given this campground a 9 , but they offer no cable tv , and they need to invest in a privacy fence along the front by the highway We camped here in a Motorhome.
