A lot of things have changed and I think it's for the worse and not for the good. I usually don't write a review but I'm inclined to. Back then there used to be a trail bridge and you spent six dollars per person no reservations. This time around I had to spend basically $50 to get in with me and my fiancé. You could literally just drive down the street and get in for free. I think there is a lot of potential, but things need to change take down them Stupid logs, blocking the spring and bring back the trail!!!!Make it affordable for locals. It was my fiancé's first time. She really enjoyed it and recommended it to others but at that price point it's not convincing and I don't know if I'll be able to return back again.

Most of the other guests are very friendly, and we always leave making new friends. This is an AANR resort, which we like. First-time guests must complete a background check, which adds a level of safety for all guests and residents. There is a discount day fee rate for all AANR members and our entry fee for us as a couple was only $34.08. Non-AANR visitors must complete a background check each time they visit. The grounds are well-kept and maintained, and all of the facilities are clean. A poolside bar serves full alcohol, or you can bring your own and keep your cooler at the pool if you have no glass. The drinks at the bar are decent and fairly priced. The bar has a kitchen, and you can order from a limited menu. The food is decent and priced well. The front gate is attended, but we usually have to call when we arrive, and the attendant will meet us to check us in, collect our fees, and then open the gate for us. Annual members can get a FOB to access the gate unattended. Service can be hit or miss in the bar/kitchen. Dee Anne (sp) does a wonderful job and is fast and friendly. Another bartender also does housekeeping and is incredibly slow, so we have learned to avoid the bar when she is working. We will continue to return to Sunny Sands and recommend it to all our naturalist friends.

After reading what has happened with the hot tub gone, restaurant gone it has been ruined. Maybe someone else will find an area to open another so the hundreds of folks liked it can visit. I have a home in palm coast with a private pool and may start seeking others from Sunny Sands to visit and enjoy the wind and sun as we did there, once. Sometimes new owners don't get it, they buy because it was successful and they mess it up by killing what made it to begin with, sad.

Lake in the Forest is a very attractive RV park with both RV parking and a bunch of cabins. The…read morecabins are rustic and comfortable in a really pretty way. They resemble the Tiny House trend you read so much about in Miami; they are tiny and they are houses, and they are super-cute. I really enjoyed staying in mine. If you are thinking about RV parks as disorganized, dirty and depressing places, Lake in the Forest will surprise you. It is immaculate, everything is well maintained and it feels consistently like a good part of town. There are a lot of nice places around the park where you can contemplate and enjoy nature. The place was almost empty when I visited so there was unlimited peace and quiet to enjoy. I would actually say it was a bit too peaceful and quiet. I didn't realize until almost time to leave that there was an active social center in the middle of the place that might have been interesting. Perhaps it was having just come from Disney, where it is impossible to get lost for more than five minutes without being legally blind, but it would have been nice to see a few signs pointing me towards favorite places within the property. There was a notebook in the house with lists of addresses of things to do, but it would have been nice overall to have more detailed descriptions of possible activities. As it turns out, the right thing to do is to ask the staff, who had an encyclopediac store of information when asked and could not have been more cordial. Some of the RVs are decorated with lights and effects in ways reminding me of Burning Man or Love Burn if it had been done on a really strict budget. The clientele are entirely pickup and RV folks. Hardly anyone had cars. I had my new-to-me pre-owned Mercedes and felt a touch out of place, the city slicker in the country, almost like I was invading a world I didn't quite understand. That was silly of me and amused me more than anything, but this is definitely not Miami. The few people I met were very nice, and the owner was exceptionally helpful, pointing out sights I would enjoy and showing me her own personal 80 acres of nature. I knock off a star for two things :The gate procedure and the checkout procedure. The office shuts down at 4:00pm and they close the gate allowing entry into the park. After that to enter or exit you need to get out of your car, release it, return to your car, drive through it and then close it again. So it feels like you are trapped in or shut out. The owner tells me that the gate serves its purpose of preventing pesky neighborhood kids and the like from coming in and annoying everyone, but there's no question it made me feel a bit alienated from the place. They intend to replace it with an electric gate eventually and that should solve the problem. Checkout requires that customers clean out the room, bring the sheets to the main cabin, take out the trash, wash dishes, empty and wipe out refrigerator, sweep the place clean and so on. This is a lot of physical labor for someone for whom that is, well, not his strong suit. They charge you a $60 fee if you don't comply. With my complete lack of domestic engineering talent this is not very hospitable. I wouldn't mind paying $30 but $60 just seems excessive. WiFi, while available, did not work well during my visit. I have Verizon's Unlimited cellphone plan and that worked fine for my stay. I simply tethered my computer and iPad with the phone and had fine functional access, despite the remote location. If you want to use the WiFi, they have several different networks with different passwords for each one. So you might want to program each one individually into your devices. A pain, but having all of them accessible would probably make it easier to find a functioning network. At $350 per week, I felt the value for money was outstanding. The place is pleasant, relaxing and very well kept up.

This campground is remote enough to drown out all the noise from the outside world but close enough that in only a few minutes you can enjoy a few small town restaurants and convenient stores and lots of outdoor adventures. The turn off Highway 40 is easy to navigate even with the largest MotorCoaches or fifth wheel trailers and although portions of the road is narrow it is a nice paved road all the way into the campground so if you get confused just remember stay on the pavement and avoid all side roads which are dirt and sand. The office is staffed by a wonderful and helpful group that makes the check-in process simple and really quick if you reserved your site online. The roads inside the campground are also paved and wide enough to navigate stress free. Our site was very level in both directions and all the utilities were in close proximity and well maintained. Although there are a number of full timers here everyone we met were so welcoming and friendly and all the sites were nice and neat, I can appreciate all the rules after staying here and that's definitely the reason this place is such a gem. There are plenty of amenities including a large pool, tennis courts and a basketball hoop, a laundry mat, camp store and lots of access to the water whether or not you have a boat or plan to rent one and although I didn't use many of the amenities it's oblivious they are well maintained like everything else on the property. This is definitely "Old Florida Charm" so don't expect a ritzy MotorCoach Resort experience which is exactly what is so attractive about this place, so if you're looking for a little R&R don't hesitate to book it and hopefully you can get in, it seems no one is in a hurry to leave here...

Google lists it as a "Camping farm." Their website states that they are an "Equestrian campground located adjacent to the Seminole State Forest." It can be a little tricky to find the entrance as it is a small sign off the south side of SR 44. Once you turn off the road it is pretty easy with the signage to figure out where it is. Our group went there to film a short video in the area near their common area. Most people we saw arriving drove with their Winnebagos and horse trailers and rented areas to let their horses have a rest and enjoy time out of the trailer with other like-minded people. There is a lake that we saw and their website touts trail rides on the property. It was a lovely place with lots of shady spots and a true rustic feel. The people who run the place were wonderfully helpful and friendly. If you want a nice place to stop and enjoy some time in a true Florida wilderness with your horse this is your place.

After greeting the Hostess, I got a comfy chaise in a shaded nook, took off the "shackles" of the every day, sprayed myself thickly with sun screen and joined the folks in the pool.
