Winter Quarters Manatee RV

We stayed here 4 months. The people that live here and stay here on a regular basis are Great! They help the staff run classes for nothing. The management gave us a hard time here and there. Seemed to favor one person over the other. Tell us one rule they had then change it (happened often). When there was a problem the staff in the office didn’t handle it well. The highway can be loud but you get use to it. The other side of park is much quieter. Yes there is a gator! The park is pretty kept up with. The dumpster does smell ripe by the office pool. They need to move that! Very busy park with traffic in and out. I need to tell you that there were cars broken into at night one time, someone stole the tv in the fitness room, and we found a person hanging out in the bathroom by office at night. It is by a park not a beach.

The park is pretty, but the people not so much. The office put us in a much to small space for our motor home, not very accommodating to Thousand Trails members. This is our second visit and we’re hoping the third is a charm. On a positive note, maintenance came and put my tow dolly on the hitch for me! It was greatly appreciated, thank you!

This RV Park is amazing! Great location near beaches, stores and more.
Beautiful facilities and a great lake (even has gators) Great RV sites — level and mine is paved. Great club house and pools and grounds.
This is a big park with over 300 sites.
The dog park is the best I’ve seen at an RV Park and Chop loved it.
They pick up your garbage at the front of your site every morning at 9 AM (except Sunday) — a big help.
I had cable at my site. No wifi at site — they have Wifi at the club house and main office area. Long term people get a service for wifi.
The staff was awesome and helpful.
This is the greatest large scale RV Park I’ve been to. It gets expensive after Dec 12 so I had to leave. I’d have spent the winter here if rates stayed at what my 2 weeks were.
Update — I’m now going to address recycling at the RV Parks I visit. This park has no bins to put recycle materials. (I think most RV’rs would like to be able to recycle and help the environment) There are some bins in a park about a mile away.
I’ve added pics from my stay here.
