Unfortunately, the overall condition is deteriorating (we have stayed 3 times over 3 years). The restrooms and showers need some serious attention. On the plus side, the location is very good ... Walmart, Publix, and HomeDepot within 10 minutes ... excellent beaches within 45 minutes. - BruceVero

The people for nice and friendly...the boat ramp is bad - never maintained.... Probably won't go back there even for free.. - Camper goer

We were in a premium site but were still very close to I75. The noise from the highway is difficult for sleeping if you like it quiet. We left a day early because of that. You're also packed like sardines next to other RVs. You have to empty your own trash at the dumpsters by the exit of the facility. I would expect trash service at the rate they charge. Overall, the worst place we stayed at in our 3 month trek throughout Florida. - Lnskaye

Stayed here for two nights - back in site on the middle loop. Fast and friendly check-in. In middle loop. Had to bring our 45ft coach around the opposite way to be able to back in our site due to two large trees in front of our site. Luckily, it was raining and beginning of off season. FHU and easy to get around the campground. Easy to get on and off I-75. - RVThatFamily

The park has many things to do at nice facilties. But the sites are subpar. Nothing but dirt, soft sand and weeds. Part of the facility is for park models only. Park models and very long term campers and mixed with available sites. The staff picks up large items of trash, but do not get the little things left at the sites. Some of the activities are: a wonderful swimming pool, 4 tennis courts, miniature golf, putting green, free canoes, Internet in a clubhouse, horseshoes, and others. - Hhtjr

We have been coming to this park since 1976 and have watched it evolve from a great RV park to a permanent park mpdel community. There are not a lot of rv sites. Of those, most good sites are annuals. The remaining are grass and in times of heavy rains the outer loop road neat Shacket Creek will flood. Sites are slow to drain. Tall pines limit satellite reception. The staff is excellent as is the large pool. Recent develope of the area has brought major stores within 2 miles. We used RPI rate for $20. Seasonal rates are quite expensive, comparable the suster Encore park of Ramblers Rest at approx. $4800 + elec for 4 months. - venice

We had free nights from our RV Dealer, so we used 3 here for our first trip. Check-in was easy, very, very nice man assisted us. We were assigned to site N-21, a standard site with 50 amp service. All grass (grass a little long) and a picnic table. Seemed OK till we realized that were were surrounded by Park Models and no other Motorhomes. Some full time residents behind us walked through our site and had their dog off leash and didn't pick-up after it. They were partiers. The next day we were allowed to move to the W Section where there were a few motorhomes and TT's that seemed like they had been there for a long time. No real interaction with the campers, they seemd put off by a motorhome that was only going to be there a few nights. The campground was clean, but I would say 90% are Park Models, if this had been high season, the place would have been packed. - TBWard

Girl at desk on Feb 10 at 1pm was eating her lunch while we were waiting in line for another rep. When she was done eating she took care of us with an attitude like we were a bother to her. The other rep was being nice to the people. This place is gated so you have to enter code to enter. Laundry and restrooms are locked and you need code to enter (I don't know why those are locked when you have to know code to enter past gate at entrance.) You need to buy a card for $3.00 to do laundry. Then you have to pay $3.00 to put money on card to wash or dry clothes (1.50 each). About 85% permanents here. Most are nice. But several were junky. Many, many trees providing shade. Park is next to river. They have a nice picnic area there. No cable TV but got several TV channels over the air. They do a lot of activities here. I liked that this resort was away from city traffic but not too far away. - RonH999

The Rambler's Rest RV Resort is located about 4-miles south of I-75, at exit 191 (River Road) on I-75. The park entrance will be on the east side of River Road (left turn if coming from I-75). The entrance comes up on you fairly fast. Our GPS took us right to the gate. After turning into the entrance immediately veer to your right into a large parking lot used for registration. The office is located on the other side of the main road across from the registration lot. Rambler's Rest is part of the Encore/Thousand Trails chain. In general, the resort looks good and seems genuinely cared for but some of the seasonal sites look run-down. I didn't see any concrete pads and our site (W-138) was mostly grass over a small patch of old gravel with full hookups. The park does not offer cable TV but we were able to bring in some local over-the-air channels. If you want to use your satellite dish ask for a spot in the "newer" W-section. Most of those sites will have a clear view of the sky for either roof mounted or portable dishes. The trade off will be little shade. And it gets hot in September. The park is pet friendly and the roads are easily navigable even for big rigs like ours. I had to laugh when I tried the WiFi it offered us complimentary 10-minutes of use before asking us to pay. We opted to use our Verizon hotspot instead. River Road can be busy but we heard absolutely no road noise, just the occasional airplane going over. Site spacing is about average, maybe a bit above. But beware if it rains hard as the ground will become saturated fairly easily. Jack pads are a must. This was our first time at Rambler's Rest and as we were visiting family during the day we didn't have an opportunity to check out the amenities at the resort. We may stay here again. - rk911

This is not really an rv park. It is more of a park model community with a few rv spaces to rent. It is incredibly clean and has many amenities, such as a heated pool, shuffleboard, movie night, tennis, coffee & donuts, etc. It is right next to the airport and you do hear plenty of planes taking off and landing. The people who live here (mostly for the winter) love the place and are very friendly. We were here for a week to visit friends who live nearby and it was ideal. The cable hook-ups are weird but there are plenty of regular channels. - virginianola

This is a very clean community. I really wouldn't call it an RV park. They have 400 spaces, with 40 of them given to RV's as rentals. The rest are mobile homes. It's very quiet here, and very clean. The site is all concrete, and has a picnic table. The laundry was clean and cheap ($1.25 to wash and $.75 to dry) - but no change machine. No wifi at sites. Large pool. Very convenient location to Sarasota attractions. Because the price is good and the location is minutes away from Sarasota, I would definitely stay here again if in the area. - jillhodges
Jan 2016 - $53.00
A bit pricey, but very nice. This is a gated community, with access by card. Almost all are permanent mobile homes, with only a few spots for rv's. Very nice office staff and residences. The only noise was the planes taking off and landing at the very nearby airport. If I didn't know better, I would have thought they were landing on our RV. The spots are super narrow and so are the streets. All the streets are paved and the spots are cement. Many one way streets. Over all, very nice and we will be back again. - esta34950

We are full timers and stayed from July 2012 to June 2017. We left after they sold and were planning to upgrade the park. New owners found getting permits to build on Florida waterways is very strict and they are, after a year, still in limbo. They started allowing RVers back but only short-term and even though there have been NO improvements they are now charging $745 a month, we were paying $515 last year. We had enjoyed the place even though it was very rural and not kept up. Any storms caused blackouts and the water was always an issue.The best part was being able to park under the beautiful trees and not being on a slab which makes it even hotter inside your RV. The wildlife and fishing is great too. I have never understood how people can park in direct sun; it seriously wrecks and fades the finish on RVs and you will burn out an air conditioner if you run it for any period of time. - karen46

This is an "old Florida" type campground. Roads are dirt, sites are dirt. The picnic tables were beat up and need to be replaced. There is a nice restraunt on site that has karaoke and music on the weekends. They close at 10 pm and the park gets nice and quiet. There is a boat ramp for the river and all sites slope down that way. They are talking about a lot of improvements in the near future. - esta34950

Forget the campground! We paid $184 for 3 nights and they had the worst facilities of any of the 7 places we camped while in Florida.The showers look extremely old, not even a shower curtain. We talked to some campers who started camping there 7 years ago and were paying $350/mo. They said the rate next year was going over $1,000/mo and they are looking for a new campground. The roads in the campground are terrible, and the place looks junky! There was a small dock behind our site that was falling in the water. Their photo gallery does not show the campground just the restaurant. - c22jrc

I do not recommend this RV Park to anyone. Sadly our experience was guite horrible. No wifi and they were in no hurry to fix the situation. Customer service is rude all the way around. Walmart is near by and much shopping at mall. Sarasota is 9 miles away. - Stayaway

We spent a month at this park, to visit friends. We paid $770.00 for the month. When we checked in the manager was very condescending and talked down to you. The site we were given was in the overflow adjacent to a four lane highway. The surface was sea shells and sloping up to the fence. Due to the very busy highway, we had to wear ear plugs to get any sleep. The highway turns into a racetrack at night. We attempted to get another spot but were refused, even though there were empty spots available. These spots remained empty during our entire stay. The wifi is on and off, depending where you're parked. The up side of this park is it's location. The downside is the management. Rude would be an understatement. We will not return or recommend this park to anyone. - Bruce and Edith

When we first looked at the park we were impressed with the ability to maneuver your rig into your site because the roads were wide enough. The pool was crystal clear and there were an enormous amount of lounge chairs surrounding it, and they were in excellent condition. What really impressed me was all the connections were centrally located on the site unlike a lot of parks I have stayed. One month in park and am very satisfied management all very friendly. Would recommend this park to my friends. Maintenance very kept up, such as lawns etc. Water went out once but was back on in a jiffy. I plan on staying here for at least a year now because the first month went so well, the people who run the place are real and have welcoming personalities, thats important to me. - P D wontdoitagain

We had a premium site with a nice concrete pad. The staff and neighbors are friendly. I am not sure about the laundry hours they were not consistent. The only time they were open at 7 was when they were left open all night. Fortunately that was the day we did laundry. Also, the bathrooms require a code to open the lock. No one told us that until we were here for 5 days. - Beas

Booked 2 nights online through chat / phone. Stayed one. Site is billed as "Full Hook Up". Doesn't work for a late model RV with midship water and sewer hookup. Water and sewer connections end up under the coach. 30 amp power is a hot plug loosely attached to a pole with no identifiable circuit breaker. Looking in the open uncovered power box I surmise the wiring does not meet standard electrical code requirements. On arrival the agent asked if we were frightened by the neighborhoods we drove through to get to the resort. He couldn't check us in because he had already closed for the day, before 5:00 PM. He neglected to give us the sign on code so we were unable to use the Wi-Fi. Since we couldn't use the sewer hook up we had to move the RV to the dump station do dump tanks. The only thing that was really good was the cable TV reception which the agent on duty in the morning said we weren't supposed to have. Given that this is our first and only experience with Sun RV Resorts it will be a very long time if ever before we stay at another one. - Tuney-GA

Great staff, friendly people, lots of amenities and participation with RVers and full timers in Mobile park. Very nice pool, hot tub. Pool room, library, horseshoes, pickle ball, patanque, shuffleboard, bingo. RV portion of park was nice but a little tight to navigate and most sites were crowned asphalt with cement patios. Partially shaded by nice big leafy trees. Wood shop. On the river with an additional pavilion for outings and picnics. Tight parking for 45' MH and car, most people have to park side ways and on the grass just to stay on the site. - Jimbo1973

We stayed here one night while heading south to Fort Myers. The $19 rate was a Tampa RV Show special. The normal nightly winter rate is $38. There is an area in the back of the park where RV's are placed. You have to drive through all the park model areas to get to it. It is tight getting around. You have to be careful!! This appears to be a snowbird park with little coming and going of transient traffic.
We had a narrow pull through on an the end of a row by the maintenance shed.
The park was adequate for our needs for the night. - Howard Jaros

Majority of park is made up of park models and RV's mixed together. The RV sites in this section are on grass with a separate paved driveway; the patio in this area are of various sizes and locations and may or may not align with your steps and awnings. Getting into these spaces can be challenging for larger rigs and there are some size limitations. There is a pull through area with paved pads and more consistent patios, however more road noise in this section. Nice pool and plenty of activities. We stayed monthly and rate was $1190 jumping to $1250 for 2017. - Ohrver

This is a very clean manicured snow bird park. 90%+ of sites are the small snowbird homes. The lady in the office was very helpful. They have 16 pull thrus; but if you are a longer than a 30ft motor home pulling a towed you will need to unhook. Wife asked we would have to unhook; reservations are made by a central office off site not familiar with RV's. and they said we would not have to unhook. That said it is a nice overnight spot, if you do not mind unhooking. Wi Fi works great today. - rmartin

Office lady was very concerned when she saw our rig. Even looked to see if there was another spot to tuck us in. Had to keep original spot, but it was fine for our 42 ft rig. Could probably hold 45ft. We did back onto fence line and had road noise from Florida rd. 70. Location is not far from I75. But noise seemed to settle down after about 10 pm. Power pedestal was a bit worn, but good power. Good water pressure too. Early morning sunshine and shade would start about 3 pm. Used air for about 3 hrs as coach tends to warm up. Otherwise had windows open till AC kicked on at 79. Lots of permanent homes with RV spaces intermingled. There were some pull-throughs, but really glad we didn't get one. They were full sun. Large square lake in middle with fishing, birds and a gator in 2016. He was removed and none seen this year. Residents are very friendly. Marked gravel, but it was crushed shells. A bit soft, but rig is heavy. Had to be careful backing in due to large power box across street and street sign. Could have used 2 spotters, but made it without a problem. Was able to unhitch prior to site and will be able to hitch tow prior to leaving after pulling out. If in area again will gladly return. - Linda R

This is a very nice park that has a combination of park models and RV's (about 2/3 stationary park models). It has a pretty lake in the middle, is very well maintained and is in a great area. I needed a place to work from and this fit the bill. I haven't used the amenities other than their gym which surprisingly is well equipped for its size. It's near 75, lots of shopping, restaurants, etc. Our lot was a back in but had plenty of room for our car, picnic table, barbecue, etc. It's a 55+ park. I did a monthly rate and I believe it was +/- $1,200 a month. Very nice people, super quiet. Highly recommended (and I am kind of picky). - User529
