From jct I-75 (exit 352) & SR 40: Go 22 mi E on SR 40, then 2-1/2 mi S on SE 183rd Ave.
Quiet lake views everywhere... Well kept laundry room and shower house. Friendly
people. Reasonably priced. .
We were heading to Silver Springs, running away from Alexander Springs (site w no electricity n they told us not to use generator at night, being there w kids its a nightmare w/o generator). Anyways, we were looking for available RV park down the road. Most of them I called weren’t available as it was a short notice (around 1 hour ahead).
To my surprise this RV park was available with only 2 spots left. We decided to choose the one that was in the middle of a park.
Its a senior RV park community but people there were super nice. From the office lady (Im very sorry but Im not good with remembering names, but this sweet lady that answered my call and the one who introduced everything to us on June 5, 2021 - thank you a lot!).
I even let my 6 years old boy to ride his bike around because the community was not only super friendly, there were other kids his age and it felt so safe being there.
It was my husband birthday (June 5) and we went to local Tiki Hut bar and ppl there were so nice and friendly. They even gave our kids some piece of chalks to draw on their floor (we were sitting outside). Unfortunately this place doesn’t have much on their menu but we were thankful for what we had.
My husband had an idea if we could get a boat bc they have this nice looking lake - Lake Bryant. We checked Google maps n couldn’t find any boats for rent. Lastly, we called the lady at the office and explain the situation. She said she’ll try to help us but cant guarantee anything. After 20mins we got a call back from her, she said that a son of its residency has a pontoon boat and will be waiting for us at the lake. We agreed to pay him specific amount and he agreed on it saying we can ride a whole day until the boat will be out of gas. He was super nice, friendly, local to this area, we even rode to a quit river where we were expecting to see alligators. We didn’t see none but it was a great experience for kids. A guy also gave a wheel to ride a boat to my 6y.o. son by himself, OMG! How cool! It was such an amazing experience for him, he was very proud to do so. We fly over a drone, stand on a middle of a lake and had some dive into the water. A guy even took my guys back to our RV on his Golf cart, so cool. It took us about an hour but this was one of the coolest experience there at their RV park.
Next morning, on June 6, 2021 we opened our door from our RV and see a huge watermelon that was sitting inside on a beach chair. One of a neighbor heard about us and decided to surprise us. Kids were super excited, too. But I was about to cry how nice and sweet gesture it was. Later this neighbor showed up and told my husband that this watermelon is from local farms here. So caring!
We live in South Florida (Miami area) and as many ppl say its not USA, its a different country. Not many ppl are nice and friendly in general. So after spending some time here (Lake Bryant RV Park) we were so touched by its people there.
Thank you so much for such a welcoming and wonderful stay! Thank you for being such nice to us! We will never forget our stay there!
The only 2 negative things was: 1) I tried to wash some kids clothes and the washing machine wasn’t working (like none of them). I honestly dont remember the system on how it was working, either it was with coins (and they were not going down when I try to push them to close), or if it was with a card, it wasn’t working. I tried some of them, read instruction very careful but no luck. I got there very late, around 12AM and there was of course no one around to ask.
2) the outside public bathroom/shower were filled with some nightlight flying insects and it was impossible to shower there.
