The Woods RV Park, Land O’ Lakes, FL
The thing about having a large RV is it’s sometimes hard to find places to park it. The Woods is perfect for that. It is actually a clothing optional RV Resort and it’s not to be confused with a campground. It’s a small community and you park on beautiful stone driveways. There are many options available including Tiki Huts behind your spot and a view of the lake.
The Resort has one pool and two spas. One of the spas has jets on a timer for a nice back massage. The resort is well kept and very clean. Standard nudist rules apply in all common areas.
There is also a clubhouse area with a bar and tables. It also has bathrooms and outdoor showers. This is a small but very nice resort.
Here is where it gets strange. You make your reservations on their website and you get a confirmation e-mail. Keep it! You’re going to need it before you get to the resort. The day before your arrival date, you’ll get an e-mail reminding you that your reservation is for the next day and instructing you to call them TODAY (that’s how they put it – in BIG LETTERS). They will give you a gate code and you’ll be able to get to your spot that way. Here’s the thing, I called all day and they never picked up the phone. I was a little worried about getting there and sitting outside the gate to get in and the same unanswered phone being my only way in. I left my cell phone number and asked them to call us back. It’s a 7-8 hour drive for us and while we were on our way (the following day), we got our call back. They told us to just go to our spot and set up. There was nothing else to do since we were prepaid via the card. There were maps/brochures in a mailbox next to the gate keypad. Other than the phone call, we had no interaction with the people there.
That leads us to another point, there were hardly any people there while we were there. We talked to one couple on our first day down by the pool but after that, we had the whole pool and spa area to ourselves. The clubhouse had NOTHING going on on a Saturday night – nobody was there. Next door to The Woods is the Caliente Resort and Spa and everyone must be there.
We were later informed that most people who live here usually migrate north for the summer because it’s so hot. The rates are lower in the summer. Crazy man!
