I stayed here as part of the Thousand Trails Trails Collection. Several stays over the summer and fall, the park was mostly empty in the summer, except for some permanent residents. It fills with Canadian snowbirds starting November. The main feature you have to know about is layout of most sites. It's so strange I can barely describe it. Sites are more or less in pairs and overlap, sort of... one site is set back from the road, and the adjacent site is next to it, right at the road's edge. Each site has a concrete patio, which is nice. If you're in one of the rear sites, you park your car in front of your rig. If you're in one of the front sites, you park next to your rig on the driver's side, in front of the patio for the rear site. You will be close to your neighbors, but If you do it right, you should have room to open your slides and awning. As a TT member, you don't get to choose your site, it's assigned before you arrive. Now... whoever designed the water and sewer system was drunk. Your sewer hole might be under the rig, it might be behind the rig, it might be on the passenger's side. They're all different. You may or not need a sewer extension. Water outlet location is similarly random, but easier to deal with. All the electric hookups I've seen were 50 amp, and voltage is 120 or slightly higher, at least when the park is empty. I'm not sure how it will be when it's full on a hot day with many AC's running, so keep an eye on it. Overall, it can be described as a big parking lot. I don't come here for the park, but for the South Florida location and the low cost, and I either stay in my rig or go elsewhere. There is a pool that I haven't used. I assume there are rest rooms, but they must be near the pool complex; they probably won't be close enough to your site to be convenient. The neighborhood is not especially bad but not great either. Nearby Dixie Highway has a few destitute people walking around, a pawn shop down the street. But inside the park it feels pretty safe. Well, there was a murder last month; the victim was a permanent resident and apparently the suspect knew him, so it wasn't a random thing. Going a mile east to US 1, or west to Military Trail, you'll find nicer businesses and restaurants. There are trains nearby but they no longer blow their horns, so you might not even hear them. Verizon and ATT both work well in the summer, see update below. Winter Update: During winter, the park was very full with Quebec snowbirds. Verizon slows way down. I had one site deep in the park where I could barely get usable signal during the daytime. The laundry uses a card system; slightly wasteful but washers and dryers were much cheaper than public laundromats. Rarely more than 1-2 people using it in the evening, and it's open to the air so it felt relatively safe during the pandemic shutdown. Summary... if you have the Trails Collection and you need a place to park with hookups in South Florida, it's the best bet. Highland Woods is adjacent and basically part of the same operation. I'm pretty sure it's much better than their Fort Lauderdale park, Sunshine Holiday.
