finding the perfect RV resort

Good morning. Peggy and I are in NH and are planning to store our motor coach in The Great Outdoor Resort in Titusville, FL for the winter. I discovered it at the rally in Syracuse. It looks great (large for sure) but we are looking for similar resorts in the country, do any of you have recommendations about 4-5 star resorts in other parts of the country?

We go to Palm Desert every winter (not yet by RV) but plan to when I retire. I am currently in a campground for the weekend in NH and it is large, mostly tents and trailers (we could be the only Class-A) and while sounding like a snob, I feel compelled to ask, where are the folks like us?

Thanks, in advance for your suggestions.

  • Not snobbish to want an upscale experience. There are many upscale RV resorts that cater primarily to Class A's. They charge a premium price for a premium experience. Those who don't care to or can't afford these places don't have to have an inferiority complex about it, but neither do those who prefer this type of place.

    Some outstanding examples are:

    Hearthside Grove, Petoskey, MI
    Traverse Bay, Traverse City, MI
    River Bend, Alva, FL
    Pelican Lake, Naples, FL
    Outdoor Resorts, St. Lucie West, FL
    River Ranch, Frostproof, FL
    Lazy Days RV Park, Seffner, FL
    The Great Outdoors, Titusville, FL
    Motorcoach Country Club, Indio, CA
    Outdoor Resorts, Indio, CA

    I am sure there are many others and I look forward to reading here about them.
  • Oops....my apologies...just doing research.....have enjoyed 13 weekends n a row, grew up in Maine and am comfortable with my roots.
  • Don't think OP was being snobbish, just that there were no other class A's around in the camp he was staying at. He is probably like most of us and likes a mixture of rv units around. Sometimes you get some good information from those who have rv's similar to what you own and a campground is a good place to discuss those things. If he is looking for a "resort" with only Class A's, then I would tend to agree.
  • Willow Tree RV resort Myrtle Beach........and right next to you....
