Florida Spring Training

[rvgreg]

Wife and I were planning a trip to the Orlando/Lakeland/Tampa area to see some spring training baseball games. We have a class A and one elderly Lab. Any suggestions on campgrounds in the area? Thanks for the help.

rvgreg,
Deer Creek RV & Golf is on Hwy 27, 1/2 mile off I-4 ext #55. THey offer a three day free stay if you ask and are willing to take the tour. Monthly is $650 with electic and cable included. You don't have to play golf. (the course is a mess)

These three near the junction of Rt 27 and Rt 192 in Clermont are approx 10 to 15 miles from the Braves and Astros, 30 miles from the Tigers and 70 miles from the Tampa area.

Elite Resorts at Citrus Valley
Thousand Trails-Orlando
Encore Lake Magic RV Resort

Thanks for the replies. I'll look at these resorts.

Thanks, bdaball. By the way, we are looking at a TOAD. How do you like the CRV? Does it tow easily?

We have been towing a 2003 AWD CRV manual transmission for over a year. Love it. Rarely remove fuses as we drive short distances each day.

If you go with a CRV - investigate your tail light options. I have been hard wiring for many years. On the CRV I added the extra bulbs and ran wire from the rear of the CRV - under - to the front. Plug in using a 4-way. Have a 4-way adapter in the RV plug. Simple and they work!

PS - If you are a member of the Moose Lodge. Winter Haven Moose Lodge has great sites for $10/night.

Have fun

Bill

There is a really nice KOA just off of 192 in Kissimmee. Kind of pricey but they told me last time that I stayed there they would be running spring training specials. Check them out.. Very nice long pull thru sites.
