Stayed there for four nights two weeks ago. Used the Passport for three nights and Good Sam for one. Main complaint was it being so close to I-10. Constant truck noise all day and night. The owner was nice enough and spent a lot of time instructing us about the WiFi and TV antenna.
Second complaint, but I understand why he did what he did, was the add for free cable TV. He had to drop his cable service, with Comcast, two months ago due to technology changes form the company. They are now encrypting the cable signal requiring a box to be installed on every TV. This prevents people from "stealing" cable signal according to the company. He only offers the cable service to his monthly customers and then the rent/ deposit on the box is $75. He further explained to me that he has been in contact with the Florida Attorney General and the State may be kicking Comcast completely out of the state because of the high rates and charges, plus lack of service. We had a similar problem with them last year in the park where we stay for two months.
As an overnight, this place is OK, convenient to Lake City and I-10 & I-75. Certainly not a destination park though.
