Cross Creek RV Resort

17 RV Sites

On the Peace River in Arcadia at the heart of DeSoto County's ranch and citrus country, Cross Creek RV Resort has earned one of the rarest distinctions in North American campground quality—a Good Sam 10/10/10 rating, one of only six resorts in all of Florida to achieve the scoring system's perfect marks for facilities, restrooms, and visual appeal. The resort's 50-amp full-hookup sites measuring at least 38 by 75 feet, two swimming pools, spa, boat launch, fishing docks, miniature golf, and the Peace River frontage that places guests on one of Florida's most famous fossil hunting rivers create a resort experience that the Peace River valley's unique prehistoric heritage makes genuinely irreplaceable in the broader Florida campground landscape. All full-hookup sites feature 50-amp electric, water, sewer, cable TV, and Wi-Fi on pads at least 38 by 75 feet—large enough to accommodate the widest and longest rigs on the road today with room for double slide-outs and full outdoor setup. Riverfront and waterfront site configurations give the most desirable locations direct Peace River access, and the boat launch and fishing docks provide the on-water infrastructure for guests who want to explore the river by canoe, kayak, or powerboat. Two pools, a spa, miniature golf, shuffleboard, bocce ball, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, a dog park, camp store, pavilion, recreation hall, and planned activities complete one of the most comprehensive resort amenity packages in southwest Florida. The Peace River, flowing past the resort's waterfront sites southward through DeSoto, Hardee, and Charlotte Counties to the tidal estuary at Charlotte Harbor, is one of Florida's most paleontologically significant river systems—a shallow, dark-water river whose acidic sediments have preserved Ice Age megafauna fossils in extraordinary condition for millions of years. Fossil hunters wade the Peace River's gravel bars and shallow bottom in search of mastodon teeth, giant ground sloth bones, megalodon shark teeth, and the remains of Pleistocene horses and camels that accumulated in the river's prehistoric shoreline environments when south Florida was dry savanna during the ice ages. Guided fossil hunting excursions from Arcadia give campground guests professional interpretation that transforms fossil hunting from a lucky find into an educational introduction to Florida's extraordinary prehistoric fauna. Arcadia, the DeSoto County seat, maintains the western flavor of Central Florida's ranch country in its historic downtown and the All-Florida Championship Rodeo—one of Florida's oldest and most authentic rodeos, held each spring and fall in a county that still runs cattle on the flatwoods and palmetto prairies covering DeSoto County's undeveloped interior. Myakka River State Park, about 30 miles northwest, provides one of Florida's premier wildlife watching destinations with resident alligators, Florida sandhill cranes, and the roseate spoonbill and wood stork nesting colonies that make the Myakka River marshes one of the state's most biologically productive wetland habitats. Sarasota, with world-class arts institutions and the Gulf beaches of Siesta Key and Lido Key, lies 50 miles northwest. The Peace River valley's subtropical climate supports year-round camping at Cross Creek, with the winter season from November through April drawing the largest concentration of snowbird guests who fill the resort's riverfront and waterfront sites for weeks and months at a time in south-central Florida's mild winter conditions. Fossil hunting is most productive after summer rains have washed new material from the river banks, making the late summer and early fall months—when the Peace River's thunderstorm season has freshly eroded the gravel bars—the most rewarding time for a fossil hunting visit. Reserve riverfront sites well ahead for the peak winter season when the resort's 10/10/10 reputation and Peace River location create demand that the limited number of prime waterfront sites cannot satisfy through the most popular weeks.

White Pines Campsites

143 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites, 1 Yurt

White Pines Campsites in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, offers 143 RV sites, three cabins, 11 tent sites, and a yurt in Litchfield County's northwest hill country, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 44 feet. Deluxe and standard categories join an outdoor pool, beach, recreation center, craft room, and arcade. One hundred forty-three sites run in standard and deluxe categories, carrying water and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 44 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station, and the 44-foot cap rules out larger rigs. RVs are also required to be in good condition, generally within a 10-year model range, so clear older coaches with the park first. Three cabins, 11 tent sites, and a yurt round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a pond supporting boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. A recreation center, craft room, arcade, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and snack bar fill the rest, with live music and picnicking through the season. The American Legion and Peoples State Forests surround the property, with Lake McDonough, the Saville Dam, and the Farmington River close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Seventy back-in sites run in standard, premium, and premium shaded categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. The premium shaded tier is worth requesting in central Florida. Forty-one cabins and motel rooms round out an unusually deep lodging inventory for a fishing property. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The marina is the anchor, with boat docks, boat rentals, and on-site fishing guides giving launch access to Lake Kissimmee, Lake Hatchineha, Lake Cypress, and Lake Tohopekaliga. An outdoor pool, clubhouse, playground, dog park, golf cart rentals, pond, on-site dining, pickleball, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming fill the rest, with live music through the season and exceptional birding across the marshes. A state park is nearby. Pets are welcome. The upper Kissimmee's shallow, vegetation-rich interconnected lakes are among the most consistently productive trophy largemouth bass fisheries in the world. Winter and spring are peak bass season and draw the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for January through April.

The dedicated motorhome pull-in category is a useful distinction for coaches that would rather not back or unhitch. Thirty-five apartments, cottages, hotel rooms, and bunkhouses round out an unusually broad lodging mix. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a clubhouse, beach, walking trails, golf cart rentals, a dog park, on-site dining, a bar, and a snack bar filling the rest. Fishing, boating, biking, swimming, picnicking, and live music round it out, with a state park nearby and productive birding across the island.

Cozy Hills Campground

42 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 9 Tent Sites, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer

Cozy Hills Campground sits in the Litchfield Hills of northwestern Connecticut, a region of rolling hardwood forests, colonial-era villages, and clear-water lakes that represents one of New England's most well-preserved rural landscapes. The cozy hills campground combines a comprehensive family activity roster with the natural setting of Connecticut's most scenic interior county, making it a year-round destination for campers from the New York metro area and the Connecticut River valley alike. The campground offers full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp service, water and sewer, and WiFi throughout the property, alongside RV rentals and cabin accommodations for guests who arrive without their own equipment. Recreation options are exceptional in breadth: a pool, fishing pond, three playgrounds, mini golf, a mega slide, jump pad, Gaga ball, BMX bike track, outdoor laser tag, and archery cover active entertainment across all age groups. Hay rides, campfire programs, and fishing round out the more traditional activities, while an on-site restaurant, arcade, and general store handle food and entertainment needs without requiring a trip off-property. Propane fill, firewood, and a dump station address RV logistics, and a dog park accommodates traveling pets. The Litchfield Hills landscape surrounding the campground is defined by second-growth forests of oak, maple, birch, and hickory, with the rolling terrain of the Berkshire foothills creating a scenic backdrop that peaks during October's foliage season. Bantam Lake—Connecticut's largest natural lake—is a short drive away, along with the White Memorial Conservation Center, which protects 4,000 acres of forest, wetlands, and Bantam River corridor as the largest nature center in Connecticut. The agricultural heritage of Litchfield County runs deep, and roadside farm stands, historic barns, and working orchards define the drives between campground and town. Litchfield's historic town green—one of the finest in New England—is surrounded by Federal-period architecture and anchors a village that has changed little in the past two centuries. The Haight-Brown Vineyard, Connecticut's oldest winery, produces estate wines from the Litchfield Hills terrain and offers tastings and tours. Lake Waramaug State Park to the west provides additional public swimming, kayaking, and lakeside picnicking in a setting often compared to the Swiss countryside. The covered bridges of Cornwall and West Cornwall cross the Housatonic River about 20 minutes west, providing a scenic detour that typifies the Litchfield Hills' preserved New England character. Cozy Hills operates through the New England camping season with peak demand in summer and fall foliage season—October weekends book up particularly fast as the Litchfield Hills deliver some of Connecticut's best leaf color. The combination of a full-activity campground, a genuinely beautiful rural setting, and proximity to the cultural pleasures of Litchfield County makes this a destination that rewards multi-night stays rather than quick overnights.

Wekiva Falls RV Resort

230 RV Sites

Wekiva Falls RV Resort in Sorrento, Florida, offers 230 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet — a generous allowance for central Florida. Premium, standard, and super back-in categories join an outdoor pool, fitness center, library, and kayak rentals near the Wekiva River, open all year.

This is an adult-oriented resort, and the amenity set reflects that. Pets are welcome. The Wekiva River system is the draw. Florida's most celebrated spring-run river emerges from the karst aquifer at a constant 68 degrees, and the Wekiwa Springs and Rock Springs corridor is among the state's premier natural springs destinations for paddlers, swimmers, and wildlife watchers. Sorrento sits in Lake County within easy reach of it. Winter and spring drive the heaviest demand in central Florida, with the springs staying comfortable year-round.

Sanctuary RV Resort

162 RV Sites

Sanctuary RV Resort in Bonita Springs, Florida, offers 162 RV sites with rigs accepted up to 115 feet — among the most generous length allowances in Southwest Florida. Premiere super pull-through, super pull-through, and super back-in categories join a pool, clubhouse, marina, and library between Naples and Fort Myers. One hundred sixty-two sites run in super back-in, super pull-through, and premiere super pull-through categories, sized to 115 feet. The super designation is not marketing here — 115 feet accommodates the longest coaches on the road with a tow and room to spare, which is genuinely rare this far south. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and WiFi handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a clubhouse, library, sports courts, pickleball, and a playground filling the grounds. A marina sits on the property, and a dog park serves pets.

Bonita Springs sits in Lee County between Naples and Fort Myers, which puts guests within easy reach of some of the Gulf Coast's best beaches, most productive fishing, and most carefully preserved natural areas. This is an all-ages resort rather than 55-plus, which broadens who it suits. Winter is decisively the season in Southwest Florida, when snowbird demand fills the Gulf corridor from January through March. Book well ahead for those months, and expect considerably easier availability through the summer.

Smiley Creek Lodge

6 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 2 Yurts

Smiley Creek Lodge in Blaine County, Idaho, offers six full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, alongside seven cabins and two yurts on the Sawtooth Scenic Byway. A lake, beach, and general store serve guests near Sun Valley and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Six back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp service, sized to 40 feet — note that all sites are 50-amp, and the 40-foot cap suits mid-size rigs rather than the largest coaches. Seven cabins and two yurts round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side. With six RV sites, reserve well ahead. Pets are welcome. A lake and creek run near the property with a beach for swimming, and canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, and fishing all available.

This is one of the most scenically extraordinary mountain routes in the American West, where the Wood River Valley's cottonwood corridors open into the granite peaks and alpine lakes of the Sawtooths. The lodge gives the most direct access to the Sawtooth Wilderness trail network and the Stanley Basin's fly fishing on the upper Salmon. Directions: from the north, drive 22 miles south from Stanley on Highway 75; from the south, 37 miles north from Ketchum. Summer is the season at this elevation. Reserve well ahead.
