It is quiet and was the perfect spot to be near family during the holiday. This is a simple, no bells and whistle campground. Spots were level and roomy. We did not know to request a fire pit but we were able to use one anyways- you can also bring your own. My boys loved the pond, and watching the small aircraft take off. We look forward to utilizing it more when we come down to visit family. My only suggestion would be hooks or a spare bench in bathhouse for belongings when showering etc.

Great little campground. No frills just the essentials you needed, water, sewer and electricity. Great 5G UW cell service. Only complaint is the idiot campers that have enough lights on outside to light up a half the campground all night long. Like trying to sleep under a street light. We do not not want to see your lights all night long. Other than that highly recommend the place.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It was quiet and picturesque. The only problem i had was the site sloped from the middle down making the step down out of my RV little high, but I will definitely be back. I just have to remember my step next time.

Lovely city park. Not an RV park or a campground but a nice stop over while visiting Fitzgerald friends. Great food at Coastal Plain BBQ!

It is a quiet little Park. I got there kind of late afternoon. Seems to be on an honor system. I just put my reservation on the windshield and nobody checked on it I guess.

We absolutely love camping at Tony's place, we stayed an extra day as well! A must visit location! This was our second time at The Fruit Factory and we loved it even more than the first time. Very tranquil environment, our 4 German Shepherds loved running through the orchards and playing in the pond. We loved sitting by the fire at night. We went to Thomasville at Tony's invitation for First Friday's... a local outdoor event with live music, restaurants, food trucks and a great time! So much fun had this past week! Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Bluewater Horse Ranch

Anna was very kind. The property was cute with several different animals to see. It was not a well groomed property like you see at the state and national parks, but that is part of the cozy ranch style camping. Hook ups were very easy to access.

Weekend Trip to Azul Paradise Resort Campsite 1

What a great place! It’s like a little paradise tucked away. Level parking space, access to the water, paddle boards, hangout spot, fire pit. Absolutely the description matched the spot 100%. Darrin was also quick to come get us when there was an amazing sunset happening over the lake!

Weekend Trip to The Fruit Factory RV Site

Happened to stumble upon this gem last minute while looking for a private location for our dogs on the last day of our trip back home. Was going to be a quick sleep and head out, in the morning before we left Tony offered that we could pick what was left of some of the fruit going out of season, we agreed and he ended up going above and beyond. Showed us his cars, took us around showing us the farms near the property, which I thought was SO COOL! Ended up being the highlight of our trip!

Although we didn’t see your email until after we had set up I thought I remembered that I was supposed to have site 2 or 3 on the west side of the lake. Being a holiday weekend and we didn’t get in until almost dark on Friday we set up at site E3 for our stay. I must say we throughly enjoyed our time at your facility. Most of the time was spent visiting family for a reunion. When we returned to our RV it was very quiet and we happened to catch a dry week with cooler weather. Your facility was clean and mostly well kept. I didn’t get the chance to use your bathroom or laundry facilities or fish this time but we will in the future. My only concern was that the areas around the utility connections had not been cut in awhile but it was a work around and never a deal breaker. We will be back to the park in the future. Thank you for keeping a nice place to camp. Bruce Mayes and Sue-Ellen Bagley Jacksonville, FL
