Our Stay
Recreation Plantation RV Resort in central Florida caters to long-term renters. With close proximity to The Villages, it was a perfect 3-night stay while visiting friends. For travelers who look for resort amenities, you’ll find lots of amenities: a large, heated pool, pickle ball courts, three club houses and clean bath/laundry facilities. Full hookups, cable TV and Internet are also available. Our site was located about a mile from the dog park, but it was a nice walk for the girls. There was plenty of shade in the RV park; transient sites were mostly gravel and grass. If we had known, we would have asked for a site in the transient area to the right of the entryway. Those sites were well shaded, level and easier to get in and out of and closer to the dog park. The office personnel were very friendly, and we found everyone in the park to be super nice and dog friendly too. Our complaint about this area was the traffic. By midday the surrounding roads were jammed with inattentive drivers. We loved being close to amenities, golf courses and shopping. Nice for a short stay, but we have crossed The Villages off our list as a potential retirement area due to traffic and overcrowding.
What to do:
Visit The Villages and golf, shop, enjoy the restaurants and many activities.
Red Dog Review:
4 PAWS! We liked this park! We especially liked the dog park, but it was a long walk to get there from our site. Lots of dogs and dog-friendly folks at the park. Mom made dog food while we were here and that is always one of our favorite activities, especially when she gets sloppy and drops a taste or two. We give it 4 paws because there was no access to a dog friendly walking trail.
