Looking for good location in central Florida
The wife & I are planning to become snowbirds, & are thinking about campgrounds in the central Florida area. However I have several medical conditions that are under care of my local Veterans Hospital...

We live in Tampa and use James A Haley facilities. We like Quail Run RV Resort in Wesley Chapel which is easy drive to the VA hospital in Tampa.
Another alternative is a new clinic at The Villages south of Ocala if you don't need the full hospital. If you do need the hospital, you can drive to Gainesville which is an hour north. Grand Oaks Resort in Lady Lake or Ocala Sun RV Resort are in the area. Also near there is Williston Crossings RV Resort in Williston FL. an hour from The Villages Clinic and half an hour to the hospital in Gainesville. One caution: Unless it's an emergency and you go to an ER, you will need to register in the Florida VA system before you are able to receive treatment there. The VA is regionalized and their computers are not linked. To register you will need to go to the large VA facility in Gainesville or Tampa.
