The Palms of Gainesville RV Resort

115 RV Sites

The Palms of Gainesville RV Resort in Florida offers 115 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance. Back-in categories at both amperages join a 30/50-amp pull-through tier, with an outdoor pool, fitness center, concierge, and pond. One hundred fifteen sites run in back-in 30-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. Three straightforward categories keep booking simple — pick your amp service and whether you want to back in. Accessible sites are available. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and a concierge handle the practical side. A concierge at an RV resort is unusual and tells you something about the service level. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a fitness center, pond, pickleball, ping pong, and swimming filling the grounds. Planned activities run through the season, and a golf course, a state park, and a national park area are nearby. Pets are welcome. The resort was formerly Santa Fe Palms RV Resort, under the same ownership and management with a new name and look. Gainesville blends small-town hospitality with the amenities of a university city — the University of Florida campus, Paynes Prairie Preserve's wild bison and horses, the Florida Museum of Natural History, and the north Florida springs corridor are all within easy reach. Fall football Saturdays and the winter snowbird months drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for home game weekends and for January through March.

Winter is decisively the season in central Florida. January through March fills with snowbirds. Book well ahead.

Sunset Point at Cedar Key

59 RV Sites

Sunset Point at Cedar Key, Florida, offers 60 full-hookup RV sites on the Gulf waterfront, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Categories are sized by rig length — 25 feet or less, 26 to 30, 31 to 35, and greater than 35 — with two waterfront tiers, a clubhouse, and a community fire pit. Sixty sites span back-in 25 feet or less, back-in 26 to 30 feet, back-in 31 to 35 feet, back-in greater than 35 feet, pull-through, waterfront 35 feet or less, and waterfront greater than 35 feet categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi. Pricing and sizing by rig length is genuinely fair — a small trailer does not pay for space it cannot use, and a 40-foot coach knows exactly where it fits. Specify your RV size when booking so the park can match you to the right spot; sites are designed for rigs up to 40 feet. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and a clubhouse handle the practical side. A community fire pit fills out the grounds, with canoeing, kayaking, pickleball, and boating nearby and a state park close. The dark Gulf sky makes for genuinely good stargazing. Pets are welcome. Cedar Key is one of the Gulf Coast's most authentic, least developed, and most stubbornly independent small towns, set on a cluster of low islands. The sunsets here are so reliably spectacular that watching them is the town's daily event. Winter and spring draw the heaviest demand on the Nature Coast. Reserve well ahead for January through April.
