RV park near Lakeland, FL

We've been invited to a baseball game in Lakeland in February or March. We'd like to find a cg/rv park within 20 miles so we can stay overnight. Suggestions would be appreciated. Our only requirement is that pets be allowed (we have a small dog.) Thanks.
  • I'm from Lakeland now living in Winter Haven. Sanlan is in Lakeland and is fairly nice, I hear. I think they charge a pet fee. There is a park right off I-4 that would be pretty convenient to the ball stadium (assuming the game is at Joker Marchant) called LeLynn. We've driven through a couple of times. It looks okay for a few days stay.

    My two picks would be Baylake, which is also right off I-4 or Mt. Olive Shores North in Polk City, but near I-4. They might be a little pricier than the others.
  • Haven't camped at any but Sanlan looks good and is near main roads. Do not go to Saddle Creek, unless you want to see some real 2 legged wildlife.
  • Another park we have stayed at close to Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland is Lakeland RV Resort. Nice park but like most parks it gets busy in Feb/March.

  • I recommend Sanlan too, and it's very pet friendly. They do charge an extra $1 a day for pets, and they are already expensive. It's a very nice park, so the rates are competitive. It's a 15 min. drive to downtown for the games.
