We just stayed at Mermaid Cove, and unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed. As some of the other reviews have pointed out, Mermaid Cove is more of a long-term RV resort. There are very few spots for weekend/traveling RV campers, and those spots seem to be at the very back of the resort away from the water. The new “pull-through” spots that we had (we're a family with multiple rigs) were horrible. The spots weren’t level whatsoever (front to back), the spots were so close together that I had to retract my awning so my brother could pull his rig next to my site, and the worst part is, the sites were right next to P Rd. When I say right next to P Rd, I mean the front of your rig will be within 20 feet of P Rd, which is a public road. There isn’t room to park your car behind the rig, so you had to either pull into your spot from P rd, or stop on the road and back into your spot…and P Rd is a fairly busy road. It really doesn’t feel like you’re a part of the resort at all in those sites.
My parents also stayed in the covered glamping wagon, and that wasn’t a great experience for them as well. No cell phone signal, Wi-Fi didn’t work most of the time, and no TV. The picture of the wagon on the Mermaid Cove website doesn't accurately depict how it's situated because the wagon is actually located right next to the pier/tiki bar/roads. With the walls/ceiling being made of cloth, there were nights they couldn’t get to sleep until well after midnight because all of the noise/music from the bar and boat/car traffic.
The resort has plenty of construction going on, and hopefully they’ll be more accommodating toward traveling RV campers in the future. Either way, unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be going back. Too expensive for the quality and size of sites, and we feel the website doesn’t accurately depict what you’re paying for.
