We had been there a few…read morehours, we were already set up at the site and were headed to the pool when Holiday Cove realized they double booked the site. We were told we had to leave even though we had a confirmation email from them for that site. We were still in the process of finding a new RV Resort (I was literally still on the phone calling around) when it hit 6:00 so they closed the office and left. They had no idea if we even found a place to go. They parked the new people right outside our site to get us to get out faster. They did not care that their error (system or not) displaced us. They did not even attempt to make it right.

I brought the house on wheels with me and now I gotta fork out a boat load of money to park it? Nawhhhh won't do it. While in Florida, I'll simply rent a hotel room and park the RV in their parking lot. Or simply Boondock in a parking lot or park.

Sarasota Bay RV Park is on Cortez Road close to the bridge that goes across to Anna Maria Island…read more Wonderful location that is close to the beaches and close to restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. We stayed here for a month in February 2021 when we moved down to Florida. The park is older so the roads are very narrow making it hard to back into sites. The sites are an ok width with room to put chairs and relax. The view at most of the sites is just the RVs at the other sites. The park had an outbreak of covid and during the time we got to the park. We really appreciated the park telling us. We had already been staying in a self-isolation of sorts which is easy in your own RV even in a park. This park staff is honest and will let you know what's going on-though, I'm sure some parks would not. We only had one issue during our stay-we had trouble getting our deposit back when we returned the fob for the restrooms and laundry. We did get it mailed to us but it took numerous phone calls and trips to the park. There are a number of amenities available such as pickleball courts, a heated pool, recreation hall, l shuffleboard court and others. There are also activities that you can enjoy. We were here during the Covid-19 pandemic so did not use or do any of these.

I just kept walking around this place thinking how cool would be that they maybe need to film a Michael Bay film here or even a zombie movie. I'm not sure if they're old prison cells or just storage but the doors are removed, but you can walk in. They've done a great job as far as keeping the structural integrity in place as well as preserving history. They have a gift shop with some snacks and ice cream in it and I also snagged a really cool hat and T-shirt combo for just 25 bucks. I took a lot of cool pictures and videos and was sending them to my elderly mother and she loved all of it. Great overall experience

Last year, when we were vacationing in Siesta Key, we rode our bikes all the way to the south end…read moreof the island and discovered Turtle Beach. It had a children's playground, parking, restroom, outdoor showers, some benches and of course the beach. We then were pleasantly surprised to find adjacent to Turtle Beach Park some outdoor picnic tables with the permanent large straw umbrellas in a designated area for the Turtle Beach Campground. As we walked through the "campground" we discovered that it really is more like a RV parking campground though there were a few tents. You must make reservation early to book a spot. This is an ideal location for those people who like to camp near the ocean. There isn't much space for the site you rent, however just go the beach OR the picnic table area. There are some restrictions for size and I believe the max quantity of people per site is six. This is truly more like a family campground and not a party place. At least one adult must be an overnight guest on each site and quiet time (aka no running RV/campers) from 11 pm - 7 am. One needs to be very careful when making your reservation as the "lot" is very small so the size you say you will have MUST be what it is as they can cancel it, even to when you pull up. Basically, go check the guidelines. What's really cool is that there is hot shower and laundry facilities, hookup for water, swer, electric ampage, and wifi as part of your rate. Depending on when you come, in our case, late Dec/Winter is ~$60/night with add-ons for weekends and holidays. BUT, if you stay for more than a week, or for over 28 night, different discounts. And you cannot beat the location! There is a trolley that comes down the the Park that you can take to the other side of the island. Keep your fingers crossed that the weather is nice, and the mosquitos/noseeum stay away, because it will be a lovely time!

Good email communication from Sarasota County. Gated. This is a very tiny campground so it's difficult to get a reservation unfortunately. There's a size limit on the campers as it is fairly tight getting into your site. You must pack your patience when coming in and going out due to there being only one single road with the sites situated on each side of the road. Your vehicle is a tight fit as well. Tents welcome. Safe for kids. Bathhouse used to be available and it was quite nice but they had to remove it after hurricane damage. Now there are bath/shower trailers. There's a very lovely park next door with a new playground, kayak rentals and a boat ramp.

But there are great stores and restaurants nearby for convenience. We stayed here 5 days September. We were in the pull-thrus right across from the lake. The lake is pretty with many water birds. They allow catch and release fishing and kayaking. There is a sign that there may be alligators but we didn't see any. The site was long enough for our 32 ft travel trailer and pickup to be in. We had full hookups that were in good condition. There was a picnic table and grass on the door side and a beautiful palm tree on the driver's side. It was a nice area to put chairs and enjoy the lake or there were benches to sit and relax. There was a pool and other amenities that we did not try but looked nice. It will be fun going back when I can use these things! Office staff was friendly and helpful. They take Passport America at least in summer. I definitely recommend Pleasant Lake RV Resort!!
