    Pool time!

    I'll start by saying we are from central Illinois. We have 4 children and two dogs. We do a lot of camping and are spoiled with wooded private spots that are almost always equipped with a fire pit/ grill back home. However, we have camped all over including; Indiana, Florida, Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, just to name a few states. With that being said, if a 3.5 star rating was available, this resort would be that. I will not "over star' though, so I gave this place a 3/5 star review. Also noted is that this was a last minute booking due to our original vacation plans being cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The resort seems to be catered to the 55+ community. Our older children are well behaved aside from normal sibling arguing. They are polite and considerate (most of the time-they are children though). They are used to riding their bikes around our camping area and checking in with us. At this resort, they have had several older residents stop them and tell them something about what they need/ should be doing. I should mention, this resort is mostly comprised of permanent homes and long term reserved spots. I did not expect to see so many prefabricated homes. Children are also not supposed to be in any of the recreational areas without someone 18+. This isn't a complaint, just want to make sure families know. We don't mind rules and understand this helps keep the park in good condition. The recreational building is really nice and includes a kitchen, pool tables, ping pong tables, and a large TV with a DVD player. We weren't able to use the kitchen during our trip due to Covid restrictions and the building had adjusted hours during this time. The shower rooms are nice/ clean. Laundry room also available for campers which is nice! The pool is only open until 5pm. I'm not sure if this was also a Covid restriction but was a bummer. It was a nice pool/ playground area though even though the playground was also closed. Volleyball and tennis courts were nice. Dog park and complimentary dog waste bags provided. Sites are not made for the Florida rain. For most of our trip, the camper was in ankle deep water. A little rock would have gone a long way. Maybe better drainage? We've stayed at other camp grounds in the area and have never had this amount of flooding at our site. Definitely put a damper on the trip. We made the best of it though and the kids/ dogs played in the puddles/ mud. The location is great and gives several beach options in close proximity to the camp ground. Everything seemed clean and well maintained. We made the best of the situation and still had a great time. Not sure we would camp here again unless it was a last resort. Reasonably priced for all the amenities!

    Amazing park for the value! The showers for the men had great water pressure and were very clean!!! I had a lot of fun. The staff are extremely friendly and made checking in very easy. The grounds were very well maintained. Lots of places to walk your dogs and open areas with picnic tables You can walk your dogs and then hang out in the park area. Fabulous place to go !

Once you're through the entrance, you can pretend Sarasota hasn't been invaded by cancerous northerners who have absolutely trashed the city and destroyed everything in their wake. You can appreciate what Sarasota once was, beautiful, natural, and covered in flora and fauna. God save Oscar Scherer!

    To get into the park with one person, it is $4; decent price. The woman at the entry was friendly,…read moregave me a map and a suggestion as where to start hiking since it was windy and cold when I arrived. I definitely got my money's worth, walking a little over 13 miles of trails. Most of the trails are well marked, but I did find it hard to navigate some of the trails resulting in me making a couple circles before I found the correct direction... but, extra steps aren't a bad thing, right?! There is a big lake along one of the trails. I was hoping to see a lot of wildlife here, but it wasn't super active. I did see about four different types of birds. There are a good amount of restrooms available as well as areas to have a picnic. I think most of the trails are doable for all levels of fitness as I saw several benches to rest along the way; they are also marked on the trail maps. I only went to explore for the day, but there are many campsites, a nature center, playgrounds and a beach area that I spotted in my park travels.

The RV sites are spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. Unlike many campgrounds where you're practically sharing coffee with your neighbors, Myakka provides plenty of room and natural vegetation between sites. It felt private, peaceful, and uncrowded. If you enjoy the outdoors, you'll never run out of things to do here. There are miles of hiking and biking trails, abundant wildlife, and excellent opportunities for photography and birdwatching. For those looking for a little adventure, the canoe rental outpost offers a chance to paddle the Myakka River and lake system while getting up close and personal with about 10 bazillion alligators. (The OG Floridian!) One attraction you absolutely shouldn't miss is the Trail and Observation Tower. The suspension bridge is a fun experience, and the views from the 72-foot tower are spectacular. Looking out across miles of untouched Florida wilderness really gives you an appreciation for how wild and beautiful this state still is. One word of caution: be mindful of the poison ivy. It's everywhere around campsites, trails, and wooded areas. As a native Floridian who should know better, I managed to find it the hard way and am still paying for that mistake. Learn from my suffering and keep an eye on where you're stepping, leaning, and reaching. Whether you're camping, hiking, biking, paddling, or just looking for a peaceful getaway, Myakka River State Park delivers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already "itching" to return. This time without the poison ivy. Pro Tip: Bring your camera, binoculars, comfortable walking shoes, and a healthy respect for Mother Nature. You'll be glad you did!

    For just under 3 years, we were lucky enough to call Camp Venice home. Unfortunately, the owner…read moresold the campground to the County and we must now vacate. We are headed back to the original resort we lived in when we 1st moved to Florida. Several things to point out on the plus side of this move.... The pool is amazing, clear and always open. You can have any beverage you want without a nazi shaking her stupid finger at you and talking to everyone like a dog. They will even sell beer in the office :) The rent is cheaper for actual AMENITIES. Notice I spelled it correctly and I also pronounce it correctly. It is NOT amenTities. I don't know how many damn people here say it wrong, but it's so maddening. Several of our snowbird friends will be joining us there and I truly couldn't be happier for that fact alone!! Rambler's Rest is clean all around, I will not have to do my own landscaping, either. The water and/or electricity are stable and won't randomly shut off, forcing boil notices. We won't be ON the river, but maybe 200 yards from it. Maybe, just maybe the skeeters and damn no-see-ums will give my poor body a break . We finally get to live near Cindy and John again!!! All of my sweet friends in park models here, though.... They aren't going. They were forced to sell their homes for next to nothing and they are scattered around, with most being in the same area code. We will still have to get together for Happy Hours come Snowbird season. Can't miss out on those. The most glorious part of all is that there will be nobody named Ann Moreland there to make everyone's life a living Hell. If the current owner has any thoughts or brains at all as a business man, he would do a quick survey and an internet search for both of his parks and take those reviews quite literally. He should also reach out to the employees that he had around last Christmas and inquire as to why he didn't get "thank you" from them for their supposed Christmas Bonus. Maybe he'll find out that Ann Moreland didn't actually give the bonus to them. Well, she DID, but it was to strictly to purchase the materials to fix her home that was damaged by last year's hurricanes. FEMA didn't assist her, as her home isn't even in her name. I guess she had to get it fixed somehow. Maybe she'll finally get busted for her insurance fraud claims on both of her cars, as well. Oh, and let us not forget to tell the owner that the new deck that was supposed to be done on the blue house at CV 3 years ago was actually "accidentally" done on the deck of her own house, without his knowledge. Karma hopefully hits her quick and harsh. God don't like ugly, Ann Moreland. One way or another, hopefully one day soon, you'll get everything in life that you deserve!!

We travel often for competitions and this by far has been the best place we've stayed at in Southern Florida. The community is well maintained as were the amenities.

Arbor Terrace claims they can accommodate 45' RVs, but it is simply just TOO tight, with unlevel lots you'll sink in. Go elsewhere! Campground employees asked us to move TWICE during our six-day stay... It was hard enough getting into the one spot we were already in, but the space they wanted us to move to was even tighter! We had to refuse moving, because we just would not have fit & would've hung up our rig. Next door neighbor told us big RVs get stuck in the lots fairly often here. It's a really nice park, overall: clean, quiet, friendly... but the infrastructure fits smaller sized campers, best.

    I'm not saying Siesta Key Beach is the best beach in the United States... but I'm also not not…read moresaying that. This beach is easily in my personal Top 5. The sand was CLEAN, WHITE, and ridiculously soft, while the water was so clear and warm it felt like somebody set the Gulf to "luxury bathtub" mode. I could've stayed out there all day with absolutely ZERO plans beyond: Beach chair Umbrella Get in the water Nap Repeat And the breeze?! 10/10. No notes. It was giving "why do I have responsibilities?" We rented 2 beach chairs and an umbrella for the entire day for $70 including tip, which I honestly thought was pretty reasonable considering we basically secured ourselves a beachfront living room for the day. I went on a Friday around 2 PM, so I'm sure conditions and crowds can vary, but my experience was giving PERFECTION. And yes, I ate. I grabbed a hot dog with fries and a virgin piña colada. Everything was tasty, and I asked them to get my hot dog as well-done as humanly possible. They heard me loud and clear. At this point, I was basically living my best retired-person life: chair, umbrella, water, breeze, snack, nap. Please don't call me back to reality. I'll DEFINITELY be back to Siesta Key much sooner than later because apparently I've found my new emotional support beach.
