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.

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.

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.

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.

from $23/night

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.

Rainbow Village Largo Sun RV Communities

10 RV Sites, 6 Cottages

In Largo, Florida—the fourth largest city in the Tampa Bay metropolitan area and one of Pinellas County's most established communities on the peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico—Rainbow Village Largo Sun RV Community delivers the active, amenity-rich 55-plus resort lifestyle in a peaceful gated enclave that provides the full recreational programming, social connection, and year-round Florida outdoor access that draws the active retirement community to Pinellas County's sun-drenched and endlessly accessible coastal environment. Full hookup sites with grassy or concrete pads and picnic tables provide comfortable, well-maintained accommodation in a community where the social infrastructure is as important as the physical amenities. The resort's recreational portfolio covers the complete active lifestyle spectrum: a swimming pool, hot tub and sauna, fitness center, dog park, and sports courts provide the physical infrastructure, while the shuffleboard courts, pickleball courts, tennis courts, horseshoes, billiards room, and bocce provide the organized competitive and social activities that fill the active 55-plus community calendar. A library, game room, recreation center, clubhouse, and pavilion create the indoor social spaces that the Florida rainy season makes necessary and the community's planned activities—bingo, potlucks, holiday parties, and the fitness and wellness programming—fill with consistent regularity. A playground serves the visiting grandchildren who extend the intergenerational dimension of the resort experience. Largo occupies the central Pinellas Peninsula between Clearwater to the north and St. Petersburg to the south, in the coastal urban fabric of the Tampa Bay area that provides one of the most complete resort infrastructure concentrations in the American South. The city's position in the peninsula's middle means that both the Gulf of Mexico beaches to the west and Tampa Bay's calmer waters to the east are accessible within minutes—a geographic advantage that gives Largo residents the best of both Florida coastal personalities. Pinellas Trail, the paved multi-use recreational trail running the length of the peninsula from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs, passes through Largo and provides 45 miles of car-free cycling and walking access to the entire Pinellas County coastal community. Clearwater Beach—consistently ranked among America's finest Gulf Coast beaches and one of Florida's most visited coastal destinations—is approximately 10 minutes west of Largo, providing the white sand, calm Gulf water, and the Pier 60 sunset celebration that makes Clearwater one of the Tampa Bay area's signature experiences. The John's Pass Village and Boardwalk in Madeira Beach adds the seafood dining, boutique shopping, and dolphin tour departure infrastructure of the Gulf beach community that Pinellas County has developed over a century of coastal resort culture. The Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg—the largest collection of Dalí works outside of Spain—and the Chihuly Collection at the Morean Arts Center make downtown St. Pete one of the most artistically compelling small city destinations in the American South. Rainbow Village operates year-round in Pinellas County's subtropical coastal climate, where even January highs typically reach the mid-60s and the Gulf water remains swimmable through most of the winter months for the cold-tolerant swimmer. The winter season from November through March is the community's peak period when the full snowbird population is in residence and the activities calendar operates at maximum intensity. Summer brings the resort's pool and indoor social facilities to the fore for year-round residents navigating Florida's humid summer season. Reserve your site at Rainbow Village Largo and let Pinellas County's extraordinary Gulf Coast amenity set and the community's active social culture make this Tampa Bay peninsula address your Florida home.

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.

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.

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.

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.
