Sun Retreats Fort Myers Beach

237 RV Sites

Sun Retreats Fort Myers Beach in Florida offers 237 super full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet, open all year. A single super full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with a pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and beach in Lee County. Two hundred thirty-seven sites are super full hookup throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. One category and no guessing — a straightforward booking experience. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and personal mailboxes handle the practical side. Two things to know before you arrive: the resort is still undergoing reconstruction after Hurricane Ian, so ask about amenity availability when booking, and surge protectors are required because the resort may experience temporary utility outages. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, pavilion, playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard, billiards, biking, swimming, and a beach round it out. Pets are welcome. The address is 16175 John Morris Road. Southwest Florida's resort geography is unusually complete from here — Sanibel's shell-covered beaches, Captiva's fishing lodges, Estero Island at Fort Myers Beach, and Lovers Key State Park's barrier island kayaking are all within reach. Winter is decisively the season on Florida's Gulf Coast. January through March fills with snowbirds. Book well ahead, and confirm amenity status given the ongoing repairs.

Sun Retreats Estero Bay

16 RV Sites

On 30 acres along the South Tamiami Trail (US-41) in Fort Myers, Florida—in Lee County where the Gulf Coast's barrier island beaches, the Caloosahatchee River's inland waterway, and the subtropical Southwest Florida ecosystem create the outdoor and cultural environment that makes the Fort Myers and Estero Bay area one of the premier winter destination corridors on Florida's Gulf Coast—Sun Retreats Estero Bay, a Sun Outdoors property, provides 300 full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service on brick paver concrete pads accommodating rigs up to 45 feet with slide-outs, large 75-foot pull-thru options, a heated pool and hot tub, two stocked catch-and-release lakes, a boardwalk and nature trail, shuffleboard, horseshoes, park model rentals, and the organized social community that Sun Outdoors manages across its Gulf Coast properties in a resort whose Lee County position puts Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Bonita Beach, and the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve within day-trip distance of a professionally maintained full-hookup Gulf Coast address. The pads are concrete. The pool is heated. The Gulf is close. Three hundred full hookup sites on brick paver concrete pads with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer—the paver pads and the 45-foot accommodation capacity with full slide-out clearance establishing the premium infrastructure standard that a 300-site Sun Outdoors Gulf Coast resort maintains—alongside the 75-foot pull-thru options for the longest coaches provide the comprehensive hookup inventory for the winter snowbird population that occupies the Lee County Gulf Coast corridor from November through April. The heated pool and hot tub serve the year-round outdoor living that Southwest Florida's climate enables, and the two stocked catch-and-release lakes provide the on-property fishing that the Estero Bay and Caloosahatchee fishing culture extends in a managed, immediately accessible format. A boardwalk and nature trail through the 30-acre property's natural areas, shuffleboard courts, and horseshoes provide the active recreation complement to the pool and lake amenities, and WiFi throughout the property serves the remote work and streaming needs of the extended-stay winter guest. Fort Myers sits in Lee County on the Caloosahatchee River's southern bank, in the Southwest Florida coastal environment where the mangrove-fringed Estero Bay, the barrier island beaches of Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel, and the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge create the natural infrastructure that makes Lee County one of Florida's most ecologically rich winter corridors. The Edison and Ford Winter Estates on the Caloosahatchee—Thomas Edison's botanical garden laboratory and Henry Ford's adjacent winter home—provide the historic and horticultural draw that Lee County's most visited non-beach destination delivers. Sanibel Island, 15 miles west via the Sanibel Causeway, provides the shelling beaches and the "Sanibel Stoop" shell-hunting culture that has made the island's lighthouse-end beach one of the most celebrated shelling destinations in the world—the J.N. "Ding" Darling Wildlife Refuge's 5,200 acres of mangrove, wetland, and upland habitat on the island's north side is one of the most accessible and productive wildlife refuges on the Gulf Coast. Fort Myers Beach on Estero Island, directly accessible via San Carlos Boulevard, provides the Gulf swimming and the Times Square entertainment district. Sun Retreats Estero Bay operates year-round in Lee County's subtropical climate, with the November through April snowbird season the resort's peak occupancy period and the Gulf Coast summer from June through September the off-peak months when the hurricane season and the heat reduce the winter-population seasonal residents to the year-round subset. Reserve your concrete pad at Sun Retreats Estero Bay and let the heated pool, the catch-and-release lakes, and the 15-minute drive to Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach make the Southwest Florida Gulf Coast winter exactly as relaxed as a Sun Outdoors Lee County address suggests it should be.

Moss Landing

63 RV Sites

Moss Landing in LaBelle, Florida, is a 55-plus community offering 63 full-hookup back-in RV sites on the Caloosahatchee River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Standard and super back-in categories join a fitness center, outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a library. Sixty-three back-in sites run in standard and super categories carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with WiFi. The super category gives larger rigs additional room. Laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The amenity set is built for an active resident community. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a fitness center, clubhouse, and library covering the rest. Pickleball, tennis, basketball, volleyball, billiards, shuffleboard, and sports courts fill the competitive calendar, with a beach, community fire pit, playground, and dog park besides. Pets are welcome. LaBelle sits in Hendry County on the Okeechobee Waterway, between Lake Okeechobee to the east and Fort Myers to the west — the crossroads of Florida's inland waterway system. The community has retained its agricultural and ranching character as the citrus groves and cattle operations of Hendry County continue to define it, which makes this one of Southwest Florida's most authentic and least tourist-developed river towns. Medical facilities, restaurants, schools, and a college are all in the immediate area. Winter is decisively the season for Florida's 55-plus communities. Book well ahead for January through March.

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. Live music runs through the season, and the surrounding preserve makes for productive birding. Pets are welcome. 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.

Meadowlark Shores RV Park

Meadowlark Shores RV Park in Moore Haven, Florida, offers full-hookup RV sites steps from Lake Okeechobee, with boat docks, a boat ramp, an outdoor pool, and a hot tub behind a gated entrance. A clubhouse, recreation center, and personal mailboxes serve both travelers and longer-stay residents on the Big Lake. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, personal mailboxes, and a pet washing station handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and a gated entrance controlling access. The mailboxes and washing station point clearly at the extended-stay guests the park serves alongside travelers. The lake carries the recreation. Boat docks and a boat ramp give direct access for fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking, with an outdoor pool and hot tub as the managed alternative. A clubhouse, recreation center, game room, arcade, pond, walking trails, playground, dog park, pavilion, horseshoes, shuffleboard, biking, and picnicking fill the grounds, with strong birding along the shoreline. Pets are welcome. Moore Haven sits in Glades County on US-27 and SR-78 on Lake Okeechobee's northern shore — the largest freshwater lake in Florida and the second-largest natural freshwater lake in the contiguous United States. Glades County is among Florida's most rural and lightly developed, and the Okeechobee bass fishery is the main draw. LaBelle River Rentals and Gatorama are nearby on the Caloosahatchee. Winter and spring bass season drive the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead.

Sun Retreats Naples East

12 RV Sites, 8 Cottages

At 3180 Beck Boulevard in Naples, Florida—on Florida's southwest Gulf Coast in Collier County where the city of Naples occupies the position that combines Fifth Avenue South's luxury retail and dining concentration, the Gordon River and Rookery Bay's wildlife-rich mangrove estuaries, and the Gulf of Mexico's clear water and white sand beaches in the combination that has made Naples the most expensive residential real estate market on Florida's west coast—Sun Retreats Naples East provides full hookup concrete-pad RV sites, vacation cottages, a heated pool with hot tub, pickleball, bocce ball, fitness center, and the planned activities calendar in the surrounded-by-nature-preserves setting that gives the resort its scenic and peaceful character within driving distance of the Gulf beaches and downtown Naples dining. The nature preserve surroundings, the heated pool, and the pickleball courts define the active resort character that the Sun Retreats brand maintains across its Florida Gulf Coast properties. Full hookup concrete-pad RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections in premium back-in and pull-through configurations accommodate RVs up to 45 feet. Patios and picnic tables at premium sites extend the outdoor living space that Naples' year-round outdoor climate makes functional across all months. Fully accessible vacation cottages with one bedroom, a queen bed, sleeper sofa sleeping up to four guests, air conditioning, stacked washer and dryer, flat-screen cable TV, fully equipped kitchen, accessible bathroom with grab bars, and a covered porch with patio furniture provide the cottage accommodation that guests without RVs or preferring private lodging specifically seek. A heated pool with a hot tub provides the aquatic amenity through Naples' mild winters and warm summers. A dog park, fitness center, game room, and on-site laundry complete the resort infrastructure. Planned activities coordinated by resort staff—bocce ball, horseshoes, pickleball tournaments, social hours—provide the organized programming calendar that extended-stay winter guests specifically value. The nature preserve acres surrounding the resort—part of the preserved natural lands that the Collier County conservation community has maintained at the urban-wildland interface—provide the birding, butterfly gardening, and native Florida habitat character that distinguishes the Beck Boulevard corridor from the developed commercial and residential land that Naples' growth has converted across most of Collier County. The preserve's proximity creates the sense of natural immersion that the resort's Beck Boulevard address within the Naples metro area doesn't automatically generate. Naples' Gulf beaches—accessible within minutes to miles depending on beach choice—provide the specific Gulf Coast beach experience that makes Naples' tourism economy function: the fine white quartz sand, the clear green-blue water, the Gulf's gentle surf, and the sunset-watching infrastructure on the western-facing beach that transforms a Naples afternoon beach visit into one of the most photogenic moments in Florida travel. The Naples Pier, the Tin City waterfront dining complex, Fifth Avenue South's restaurant row, and Bayfront Place's dining and watercraft rental concentration provide the dining and activity calendar within a short drive. Sun Retreats Naples East is open year-round in Naples' subtropical climate. The winter snowbird season from November through April fills the resort with northern guests seeking Gulf Coast warmth. Summer represents the shoulder season when Florida families and Gulf Coast visitors occupy the property at more accessible rates. Reserve early for January and February at peak snowbird density, plan the Gulf beach sunset for the first evening, and let Collier County's winter climate earn the Naples reputation that active retirees and winter travelers have been building across social networks for decades.

Timberline Glamping at Sarasota

4 Glamping Sites

Within Oscar Scherer State Park in Osprey, Florida—on the Sarasota County coast where the scrub-oak landscape, the South Creek paddling corridor, and Lake Osprey's warm-water swimming create the specific habitat mosaic that scrub-jays, gopher tortoises, and the bird diversity of a Florida state park's managed natural environment support in one of the most ecologically significant preserves on the Suncoast—Timberline Glamping at Sarasota provides four luxury safari tent accommodations on 10 acres at the edge of Oscar Scherer's trail network, combining the immersive park experience of a state park stay with the interior comfort of a 320-square-foot furnished tent that includes a king or queen bed configuration, air conditioning, a Keurig coffee maker, and a mini-refrigerator. Rates starting at $152 per night reflect the specific combination of park access and furnished comfort that the property provides in a market where Sarasota hotel rooms at comparable rates offer less natural experience and considerably less square footage of outdoor living. Four safari tents—available in Deluxe configuration (king bed and two sets of bunk beds) and Double configuration (two queen beds)—accommodate single couples, families, and the range of group compositions that a 320-square-foot luxury tent can serve across the Sarasota glamping market. Interior furnishings include floor rugs, multiple lamps, high-quality bed linens, comfortable seating, heating and air conditioning units, electrical outlets for device charging, and the Keurig coffee setup with Timberline-branded mugs that makes morning coffee in a tent genuinely pleasant rather than an expedition logistics problem. Each tent's gravel-base exterior features two hammocks for tree-hung lounging, a charcoal grill with cooking grate, a wood fire pit, a picnic table, and string lights that create the warm evening ambiance that fire pit camping and glamping guests specifically seek. The pet-friendly policy—with an additional fee for furry companions—extends the welcome to the dogs and cats that Sarasota area travelers bring. Oscar Scherer State Park's ecology provides the glamping experience's natural programming. Lake Osprey—warm enough for swimming through the Florida season—provides open-water swimming and fishing access from the park's beach area, with largemouth bass and panfish in the lake's vegetation-lined shallows. South Creek, winding through the park's interior, offers kayak and canoe access (rentals available through the park) through a paddling corridor that the park's scrub-oak forest and freshwater marsh flank with the specific ecological transition that makes Oscar Scherer's natural character distinctive among Sarasota County's preserved areas. Fifteen-plus miles of multi-use trails through the park's pine flatwoods, scrub habitat, and marsh edges provide the hiking and biking access to Oscar Scherer's wildlife—Florida scrub-jays (a threatened species whose oak scrub habitat Oscar Scherer specifically protects), gopher tortoises, sandhill cranes, and the year-round diversity of the Sarasota County bird community. The park's scrub-jay population is accessible for wildlife photography along the scrub-edge trails with a consistency that serious bird photographers travel specifically for. Timberline Glamping at Sarasota operates year-round in Florida's mild Suncoast climate. The park's spring wildflower season, summer lake swimming, and fall bird migration create distinct natural seasons within a year-round operating environment. The Sarasota cultural infrastructure—the Ringling Museum, Sarasota Opera, Siesta Key Beach (routinely ranked among the finest beaches in the United States)—provides the day-trip programming from a glamping base that the park's natural setting complements rather than competes with. Reserve your safari tent, pack a paddling outfit for South Creek, and let Oscar Scherer State Park's scrub and creek ecology deliver what Florida glamping looks like when the nature experience is the point.

Timberline Glamping at Naples

Timberline Glamping at Naples in Collier County, Florida, delivers safari-style tent accommodations with air conditioning, heating, comfortable beds, and a coffee maker in the natural setting southwest of Naples — a glamping property that gives guests the outdoor camping connection with the southwest Florida landscape without the infrastructure gap between deluxe hotel accommodation and primitive camping that the Naples area's visitor market has consistently shown it is not interested in bridging on its own. The safari tent format, combining canvas tent enclosure with genuine modern comfort systems, creates the specific outdoor-indoor hybrid experience that the glamping category delivers at its most satisfying when the natural setting outside the tent justifies the accommodation format itself. Air-conditioned and heated safari-style tent accommodations give guests the complete modern comfort systems for year-round Florida outdoor stays — the air conditioning specifically addresses the reality that southwest Florida's summer humidity and heat make unaided outdoor sleeping uncomfortable in a way that reduces camping's appeal to the substantial non-camping fraction of the Naples visitor demographic. The coffee maker and comfortable bed infrastructure give the tents the turnkey morning experience that glamping guests specifically cite as the category's primary experiential advantage over conventional tent camping. The property's natural setting provides the outdoor connection — birds, warm nights, and southwest Florida's distinctive subtropical vegetation — that the indoor amenity infrastructure supports rather than replaces. Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, 30 miles northeast of Naples in Collier County, preserves the largest remaining old-growth bald cypress forest in North America — a 13,000-acre Audubon Society sanctuary whose 2.5-mile boardwalk trail through ancient cypress trees, some over 500 years old and 130 feet tall, with knees rising from the dark swamp water below, delivers a natural landscape experience of genuine profundity that has no equivalent elsewhere in the continental United States. The sanctuary's winter wading bird nesting colony, concentrating wood storks, great blue herons, anhingas, and roseate spoonbills in the cypress canopy, is one of the most spectacular wildlife aggregations in Florida. Big Cypress National Preserve, northeast of Naples, protects 720,000 acres of the South Florida freshwater watershed that sustains Everglades National Park's flow regime and the Florida panther population that the preserve's vast, undeveloped landscape supports in the largest concentration remaining in the eastern United States. Airboat and swamp buggy tours through the Big Cypress cypress strand and wet prairie habitat give visitors the immersive Southwest Florida wetland experience that the Everglades' more managed visitor infrastructure channels more rigidly. Timberline Glamping at Naples operates year-round in Collier County's subtropical climate, with the winter dry season from December through April representing the most comfortable outdoor recreation conditions and the primary snowbird season that sustains Southwest Florida's hospitality economy through the cooler months. The summer wet season from June through September delivers daily afternoon thunderstorms and higher temperatures but also the lushest tropical vegetation and the active birdlife that follows South Florida's summer monsoon rains through the freshwater wetland systems. Reserve safari tent accommodations ahead for the winter peak season from January through March, when Naples's accommodation market is at its most competitive and the outdoor glamping experience is most comfortable in the subtropical outdoors.

Cypress Campground & RV Park

Cypress Campground & RV Park in Winter Haven, Florida, offers 197 full-hookup RV sites 2.3 miles from Legoland Florida, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout.

A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. The position is the proposition. Legoland Florida is 2.3 miles away, with Peppa Pig Theme Park adjacent and the broader Polk County attraction landscape south of Orlando within easy reach — close enough that families can return to the campground midday rather than committing to a full park day. Directions from I-4 eastbound out of Tampa: take Exit 45B toward Orlando, then merge onto the Polk Parkway (SR-570 toll east) via Exit 27 toward Lakeland and Winter Haven. Theme park season and winter drive demand. Reserve well ahead for school holidays.

Camp Mack

70 RV Sites, 8 Cabins, 33 Motel Rooms

Camp Mack in Lake Wales, Florida, offers 70 full-hookup back-in RV sites and 41 cabin and motel room units directly on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Premium shaded, premium, and standard back-in categories join a marina, boat ramp, boat rentals, and on-site fishing guides. 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.

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.

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.
