I read Park Reviews along with the comments. First thing I want to see is FHUs, Cable and WIFI. I stayed at a park in Sarasota for a couple of weeks a few years ago. Their site said yes to all. When I got there, cable only had about 4 channels besides ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. If you wanted more, you had to get your own cable box downtown, leave a deposit, and return it downtown when leaving. Not the CGs fault, nobody could get more than one box, including the CG. That changed quickly when the hospitals could only get one box. Patients had to get their own. WIFI was available from open connections from private users in the neighborhood that had unsecured connections. New technology for the CG as well. OTOH, they had all kinds of things for campers to do, but I was visiting friends and was only there at night. FHUs were available as advertised, just not the way I expected.
Sarasota wasn't prepared to offer what we have all come to expect from those three letters, even to their homeowners. All is well there now. I gave it a 5, mostly for effort, some gave it a 9 because they didn't care about the amenities, and some gave it a 1 because that's all they cared about. I like to read the reasons for both the low and high scores on RV Park Reviews.
