Ramblers Rest RV Campground

Front desk staff is less than helpful. We had to figure everything out on our own. A little harder for first time RV’s which is why we picked this part. It «seemed» like a good entry spot for us newbies. NOT SO. They never mentioned the resort fee per day until we checked out. So over $ 425 for one week stay. Wasnt really worth it for no ocean /​no swimming in river nearby.
They put our 5^th wheel between a bunch of mobile homes so we felt a little awkward. The long term residents are clique-​ish so dont even expect a friendly wave from them. A few mornings into our 7 day stay we just quit bothering to say hi or wave as no one responded. Pretty much old people and average age for venice is 67!!! I kid you not. Too many golf carts buzzing around. and every one is very white. I am ½ mexican and got some looks … we just moved from Hawaii so I am not used to the 98% white in this area.
Yes bathrooms are nice. Probably the best part of this park. And pool is nice.
The guys delivering propane were pretty helpful. They actually gave us most of the info that you think the front desk would do. You can drop trash off in front at big containers. I dont know if they have individual trash pick up as no one said anything but did see trash cans at end of some sites on our last day.
Fire ants meant we had to be very careful with our little dog and walking him. Mosquitoes abound but it is Florida. No decent restaurants any where nearby — only chains.
Not staying here again.

The park is very nice and many upgrade have been done. The bath houses are extremely clean and nice. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool and hot tub are awesome along with the billard room. This is my fist time camping out here and it has been very enjoyable. They could use some trash cans by the bath house for normal trash, cans, bottles and paper.

Awesome campground since Encore took over. My only complaint is they allow folks to pay 5.00 and use facilities without knowing a camper. Therefore, we were invaded by bunches of disrespectful teens whipping balls in the pool towards our head etc. When we asked them to move it elsewhere they came back with more smart butt remarks. Maybe they should watch the pool area. There are families with young children etc. Not me however no one wants balls to be thrown at their head or smart punks being disrespectful. Fish by the river. Bath house are all newly remodeled and very clean. Highly recommended.
