Sun Resorts & Residences Buttonwood Bay

48 RV Sites, 13 Cottages

On the shores of Lake Josephine and Jackson Creek in Sebring, Florida—in the heart of Highlands County's bass fishing country where 25 fishable lakes within 10 miles, the Sebring International Raceway's 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race, and Highlands Hammock State Park's ancient live oak hammock create the central Florida Highlands experience that the active adult 55-plus community and the bass fishing visitor have organized their Sebring identity around—Sun Resorts & Residences Buttonwood Bay provides over 485 full hookup sites with concrete patios and private picnic tables, two heated outdoor pools and a hot tub, a 210-foot fishing pier, a private boat ramp and boat storage, a 16,000-square-foot clubhouse complex, a fitness center, lighted tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, and bocce ball courts, billiards, a library and arts-and-crafts center, mini-golf, walking trails, a dog park, laundry, game room, and a full calendar of organized activities in a 55-plus age-restricted resort whose Lake Josephine location and 25-lake bass-fishing corridor deliver the active retirement Florida that the Highlands County lakeside setting provides. Two heated pools. A 210-foot fishing pier. Twenty-five lakes within ten miles. The 485-plus full hookup sites with concrete patios and private picnic tables create the extended-stay infrastructure for the 55-plus resident whose Sebring commitment ranges from the winter snowbird season to the permanent Florida address that the Buttonwood Bay community supports with its year-round activity and governance calendar. The 210-foot fishing pier on Lake Josephine provides the dock access that the bass fishing culture requires for the daily morning cast without a boat, and the private boat ramp—alongside the fenced boat storage—serves the resident whose vessel stays on property for the daily Lake Josephine launch. Two heated outdoor pools, the hot tub, and the aquatic exercise programming create the water fitness and recreation infrastructure for the active adult calendar, and the 16,000-square-foot clubhouse's lighted tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, bocce ball, billiards, library, and arts-and-crafts center fill the social and recreational programming that a community of this scale sustains through organized committees and planned activities. Sebring sits in Highlands County at 120 feet on the Lake Wales Ridge, in the central Florida upland community where the citrus and cattle agriculture of the Highlands plateau, the bass fishing lakes of the ridge's chain-of-lakes corridor, and the Sebring International Raceway's March 12 Hours of Sebring—the oldest sports car endurance race in the United States and the American round of the FIA World Endurance Championship—create the event and natural heritage that distinguishes the Highlands County inland experience from the coastal resort economy of the Gulf and Atlantic shores. Highlands Hammock State Park, 5 miles west of Sebring on SR-27, preserves one of the oldest and most pristine natural communities in Florida—the ancient live oak hammock's massive multi-century-old trees, the Civilian Conservation Corps' 1930s-era picnic shelters and ranger station, the tram tour through the cypress swamp, and the alligator observation that the park's managed wildlife habitat provides create the Highlands County natural experience most distinct from the bass fishing identity. Lake Istokpoga, 12 miles south, provides the 27,692-acre lake—one of Florida's largest—whose largemouth bass fishery sustains the tournament fishing circuit that Highlands County's bass fishing reputation is built around. Buttonwood Bay operates year-round in Highlands County's subtropical climate, with the peak season from November through April delivering the snowbird community's maximum social and activity calendar and the summer months maintaining the permanent resident population. Reserve your site at Buttonwood Bay and let the 210-foot fishing pier, the two heated pools, and the 25-lake bass-fishing corridor make the Highlands County 55-plus lakeside lifestyle the Sebring retirement address that Lake Josephine's shores provide.

Hidden River Sun RV Communities

29 RV Sites, 3 Cottages

At 12500 McMullen Loop Road in Riverview, Florida—in Hillsborough County along the Alafia River 20 minutes southeast of downtown Tampa where the Tampa Bay metropolitan area's cultural, professional sports, and entertainment infrastructure, the Gulf Coast beach communities of Clearwater and St. Pete Beach, and the Central Florida theme park corridor via Interstate 4 provide the day-trip calendar that a 55-plus active adult community in the Tampa suburb specifically uses to differentiate itself from the rural Florida retirement RV park that lacks the metropolitan access—Hidden River Sun RV Communities provides full hookup RV sites on concrete and gravel pads with 30 and 50-amp service accommodating rigs up to 75 feet, a swimming pool, fitness center, pickleball, a clubhouse, a boat ramp on the Alafia River, game room, fishing, planned social events, and premium Loft rental units in the year-round 55-plus Sun Outdoors-managed community that the Alafia River frontage and the Tampa metropolitan access make the most comprehensively positioned active-adult community in Hillsborough County. The Alafia River boat ramp, the 75-foot rig accommodation, and the 20-minute downtown Tampa access together define the three amenity facts that position Hidden River in the 55-plus market. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections on concrete patios and gravel pads in both back-in and pull-through configurations accommodate RVs from standard-length travel trailers up to 75 feet—the largest Class A motorhomes and extended fifth-wheel combinations—with room for slide-outs at the premium sites. A swimming pool serves the year-round Florida aquatic recreation. A fitness center provides the indoor cardiovascular and strength training equipment that the 55-plus active adult community's health-conscious demographic uses as a primary resort amenity. Pickleball—the fastest-growing sport among the 55-plus demographic in the United States—provides the organized paddle sport recreation. A clubhouse hosts the organized planned activities: bingo, card games, and the social events that the Sun Outdoors programming calendar generates for the seasonal and year-round resident community. A boat ramp on the Alafia River provides the direct water access for trailered fishing boats, kayaks, and canoes on the Alafia's tidal lower river corridor. Premium Loft rentals—furnished one-bedroom units with a kitchenette, queen bed, sleeper sofa, full appliances, linens, and WiFi—provide the enclosed accommodation for the guest evaluating the community before committing to an RV stay. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Tampa Bay Rays together constitute the professional sports calendar that Raymond James Stadium, Amalie Arena, and Tropicana Field maintain within 30 minutes of Riverview on Interstates 75 and 4. The Florida Aquarium on Tampa's downtown Channelside Drive and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay on Busch Boulevard provide the wildlife and theme park day-trip options that the Hillsborough County tourism infrastructure has sustained for decades. Clearwater Beach—accessible via Interstate 275 in approximately 45 minutes—consistently ranks among the top beaches in the United States in annual tourist surveys, with the Gulf of Mexico's warm shallow water, the white quartz sand, and the Pier 60 nightly sunset celebration providing the beach resort experience that the Tampa Bay metropolitan area's Gulf Coast position creates within practical day-trip range from Riverview. Hidden River Sun RV Communities is open year-round. The November-through-April snowbird season fills the community from peak occupancy. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' fall home schedule and the Lightning's winter NHL season provide the sports event demand that drives weekend visits. Reserve well in advance for winter season, get a Loft rental for the first visit, and let the Alafia River boat ramp and the 20-minute Tampa drive earn the Hillsborough County 55-plus community experience that the metropolitan access makes specifically rewarding.

Sun Retreats Lakeland

Midway between Tampa and Orlando in Polk County, Florida, Sun Retreats Lakeland occupies a prime position in the heart of Central Florida that makes it equally practical as a base for Gulf Coast beaches, theme park adventures, and the genuine natural beauty of the Florida interior. The resort offers 225 full hookup sites—including five equipped for super-sized big rigs—alongside three cabins and a cottage rental, creating a versatile destination that serves solo road trippers, winter snowbirds, and families with children all in the same well-managed park. At 900 Old Combee Road, Lakeland itself is a mid-sized Florida city with a distinct identity, anchored by its chain of lakes and its remarkable collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture at Florida Southern College. The resort's amenity lineup is substantial: a heated full-sized pool and hot tub, a kiddie pool, a fitness room, shuffleboard courts, horseshoes, volleyball, a game room, and a miniature golf course keep active guests occupied throughout their stay. A fully stocked fishing lake on the property, a dog washing station, and a fenced dog park serve the outdoor and pet-loving segments of the guest population. A restaurant, camp store, laundry facilities, LP gas, RV storage, and credit card acceptance round out the practical offerings, and the golf cart rental option makes navigating the resort's generous footprint effortless for longer-term residents. Planned activities and ice cream socials fill the social calendar. Lakeland's landscape reflects the classic Florida interior geography of interconnected lakes, sandy ridges, and scattered wetlands that break up the agricultural development of Polk County. The city sits on the Central Florida Ridge—the state's highest terrain, at a still-modest elevation of around 200 feet—giving it slightly better drainage and marginally cooler temperatures than the coastal flatlands. The resort's stocked fishing lake provides catfish, bass, and bream for anglers who want immediate water access, and the property's mature landscaping gives it a green, established feel that new-construction parks frequently lack. Walt Disney World lies approximately 30 minutes northeast, and Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and LEGOLAND Florida are all within 45 minutes—making Sun Retreats Lakeland a legitimate alternative base for theme park visits at rates well below Orlando's closer-in options. Florida Southern College's campus in downtown Lakeland contains the world's largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in a single location—12 structures built between 1938 and 1958 that represent some of the architect's most innovative educational designs. Bok Tower Gardens, 30 minutes south in Lake Wales, provides one of Florida's most serene natural destinations with its carillon tower, singing tower, and immaculate gardens. Winter season—November through April—fills Sun Retreats Lakeland with snowbirds who have made Central Florida's mild climate a seasonal tradition for decades. Summer visitors enjoy lower rates and access to the resort's pool and lake fishing during the off-peak months, and the thunderstorm season that defines Florida summers typically passes quickly, leaving long dry afternoons for recreation. Book your site at Sun Retreats Lakeland and use Polk County's central position to work through Central Florida's remarkable range of natural, cultural, and entertainment destinations at your own pace.

Central Park Sun RV Communities

On US Highway 27 in the central Florida Highlands of Polk County, Central Park Sun RV Community provides a 351-site resort campground in Haines City—a destination at the heart of Florida's lake country that puts guests equidistant between Orlando's theme park corridor and the Tampa Bay area's coastal attractions within a resort environment that makes staying put for the day just as attractive as driving to either metropolitan destination. The community's tree-shaded streets, full hookup sites, and resort amenity suite including a swimming pool, fitness center, shuffleboard, pickleball, and a fishing lake create the self-contained resort experience that the Sun Outdoors network delivers to long-term and seasonal guests across Florida. Three hundred fifty-one full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections include pull-through and waterfront configurations on wide, tree-shaded streets maintained to a high resort standard. A swimming pool, fitness center, shuffleboard courts, pickleball, horseshoe pits, a fishing lake with boating access, bocce ball, and a recreation hall with a pool table anchor the on-property leisure menu, and the jam-packed planned activities calendar of bingo, cards, crafts, theater nights, and pancake suppers creates the social community that distinguishes an active resort from a parking facility with utilities. A laundromat, dump station, LP gas, RV storage, and pet-friendly accommodations complete the practical service infrastructure. The fishing lake at the community's center provides a freshwater fishing activity in the central Florida lake tradition—a lake managed for bass, bream, and the panfish species that thrive in the warm, productive waters of the Polk County lake country, one of the most lake-dense counties in the United States. Canoeing and kayaking on the lake provide a paddle activity guests can access without leaving the property, and the lake's central position in the community's layout makes it a constant visual presence that elevates the residential-resort quality of the setting beyond what a standard campground can offer. LEGOLAND Florida Resort in Winter Haven, about 15 miles north, provides one of central Florida's most family-friendly theme park experiences built around the historic 1930s Cypress Gardens botanical attraction. Walt Disney World Resort, about 30 miles northeast in Bay Lake, represents the dominant theme park destination of the entire region—a 40-square-mile complex of four major theme parks, two water parks, and the full Disney entertainment ecosystem that Central Park Sun's Haines City location supports as a cost-effective base for Orlando area exploration. Bok Tower Gardens, about 12 miles south in Lake Wales, preserves one of Florida's most beautiful horticultural landmarks on the Lake Wales Ridge. Central Florida's year-round subtropical climate makes Central Park Sun RV Community a genuine twelve-month destination, with the winter and spring seasons drawing the largest concentration of snowbirds who fill the community's seasonal site inventory for weeks and months at a time. The Florida Highlands' slightly elevated terrain on the Lake Wales Ridge—Florida's highest topographic feature—gives the community marginally cooler temperatures and lower humidity than the coastal communities, advantages that the surrounding year-round resident population appreciates on the warmest summer days. Reserve seasonal sites well ahead for the November-through-March peak period when proximity to Orlando's theme parks and the community's resort amenities create demand that exceeds availability for the most desirable waterfront and pull-through configurations.

Tampa East Sun RV Communities

7 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 14 Cottages

Tampa East RV Community, a Sun Outdoors property, occupies a 800-plus site resort campus in Dover, Florida, in Hillsborough County's agricultural eastern corridor between Tampa and Plant City—a large-scale community-style RV resort built for the extended stay and seasonal lifestyle that Florida's year-round warm climate enables and that the Gulf Coast's combination of urban amenity and outdoor recreation supports as well as anywhere in the country. The resort's scale—over 800 sites with a comprehensive amenity package—gives it the community character that differentiates a true RV resort from a campground, and the proximity to Tampa's full urban offering makes it equally suitable for active winter residents and summer visitors exploring the central Florida theme park corridor. Full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer accommodate RVs up to 50 feet across an all-ages, pet-friendly property. Three heated swimming pools plus a heated spa, two recreation halls, a fitness center, pickleball courts, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a playground, game room, pond, library, and WiFi provide the recreational infrastructure. The resort's organized programming—weekly music jamborees, dance lessons, bingo, and community BBQ events—creates the social calendar that extended-stay resort residents build their seasonal life around, and the community atmosphere generated by like-minded guests on similar schedules makes Tampa East the kind of resort that repeat visitors return to season after season. Dover's position in eastern Hillsborough County puts the resort 20 minutes east of downtown Tampa in a landscape where the suburban development of the Tampa Bay metro gives way to the strawberry fields and citrus groves of the Plant City corridor—one of the most productive strawberry farming regions in North America and home to the Florida Strawberry Festival each March. The Florida State Fairgrounds and the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre, both between Dover and Tampa, provide the major event and concert venue infrastructure that gives the Tampa Bay area its depth of scheduled entertainment. Busch Gardens Tampa is 20 minutes from the resort—one of Florida's most comprehensive theme parks, combining significant zoological collection with thrill rides and shows in a format that distinguishes it from the Disney-Universal corridor to the east. The Gulf of Mexico's beaches—Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, Caladesi Island—are within 45 minutes west of the resort across the Tampa Bay bridge system, providing access to the white sand Gulf Coast beach experience that Florida's winter residents come south to find. Disney World, Universal Studios, and the full Orlando theme park corridor are under an hour northeast, accessible as full-day excursions from a Tampa base. Tampa East RV Community operates year-round with peak occupancy from November through April when the snowbird season fills the resort's extended-stay sites with residents escaping northern winters. Summer availability is typically better, though the central Florida heat makes the resort's three pools essential daily amenities from June through September. The Hillsborough River State Park, about 20 minutes north of Dover, provides canoe trips, nature trails, and overnight camping in a blackwater river landscape for guests who want wilder outdoor recreation between resort stays. Reserve well ahead for the November-through-April peak season when quality Tampa Bay area resort sites fill quickly.

Spanish Main Sun RV Communities

In Thonotosassa, Florida—in Hillsborough County 20 minutes northeast of downtown Tampa where Lake Thonotosassa's 903-acre natural freshwater lake, the Hillsborough River State Park's cypress swamp and spring-run hiking, and the Interstate 4 corridor's rapid access to both the Gulf Coast's Clearwater and St. Pete Beach communities and the Central Florida theme park concentration create the specific Tampa metropolitan gateway position that an all-age RV community on a natural Florida lake uses to differentiate its location from both the urban Tampa campground and the remote rural Florida campground—Spanish Main Sun RV Communities provides over 270 full hookup sites on grassy pads accommodating RVs up to 45 feet, a heated swimming pool with kiddie pool, shuffleboard and basketball courts, horseshoe pits, two scenic ponds for catch-and-release fishing, a dog park, a clubhouse, and the organized social programming calendar—potlucks, bingo, shows, and ice cream socials—that the Sun Outdoors-managed all-age community sustains for the diverse year-round and seasonal resident population. The heated pool operating through Florida's winter months, the two fishing ponds on the property, and the 20-minute Tampa drive define the residential RV community appeal that the Thonotosassa Lake address provides. Over 270 full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections on grassy pads—accommodating RVs up to 45 feet with slide-out room—provide the core accommodation infrastructure at the Sun Outdoors-managed community. A heated outdoor swimming pool operating through the full Florida year with a separate kiddie pool provides the all-age aquatic recreation that year-round Florida camping demands. Shuffleboard and basketball courts serve the organized sport recreation. Two scenic ponds with designated catch-and-release fishing provide the on-property fishing access to the native Florida freshwater species that the Hillsborough County wetland ecosystem naturally maintains in retention ponds of this size. A dog park provides the off-leash pet exercise space. The community clubhouse hosts the organized social programming—potluck dinners, bingo nights, variety shows, card game afternoons, and ice cream socials—that the active all-age resident community generates as its weekly social calendar. An open-air pet recreation area provides additional off-leash space for the family's traveling dogs and cats. Cabins provide the enclosed accommodation for guests without RV equipment. Lake Thonotosassa—adjacent to the community—is Hillsborough County's largest natural inland lake, providing the fishing and wildlife viewing access that the native Florida bass, bream, and migratory waterfowl populations maintain in the lake's aquatic vegetation and the cypress-edged shoreline. Lake Thonotosassa's boat ramp access provides the launching point for the fishing, kayaking, and boating that the lake's non-commercial natural character makes available to residents in the manner of a private lakefront community without the ownership costs. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay—20 minutes west—provides the Florida theme park experience that Hillsborough County's tourism infrastructure built its identity around, with roller coasters, African wildlife in zoological habitats, and the live entertainment that the park's combination of thrill rides and animal displays has sustained since 1959. The Florida Aquarium in downtown Tampa and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater extend the marine and aquatic nature programming that the Tampa Bay metropolitan area's coastal position naturally generates. Spanish Main Sun RV Communities is open year-round. The winter snowbird season from November through April fills the community with the northern seasonal residents who prioritize the heated pool, the organized social calendar, and the 20-minute Tampa access. Reserve well in advance for winter season, join the potluck rotation, fish the catch-and-release ponds, and let Thonotosassa Lake and the Tampa metropolitan corridor earn the all-age Florida RV community experience that Hillsborough County's gateway position makes naturally diverse.
