Horseshoe Cove RV Park, Bradenton, Florida

PFR ***
Campground ****

We were at this park for a month.  We arrived 10/2 and departed 11/1.  We were there for the Living the RV Dream rally.  We got a good deal on the monthly rental for $199 for the entire month.  Our site was not the best in the park.  It was the 2nd from the end, near a high traffic area, & had no shade, but was just across from the dog walk area.  The parking pad was narrow and high in the middle (pull-thru), with a fair amount of "grassy" (weeds) area between our site and the one next to us.

Their web site talks about how dog friendly they are, but they actually had a 2 dog limit.  They did allow us to put up our xpens, and never even actually mentioned the pet limit, so we risked letting 4 out at a time. But the vegetation on the ground, (not grass), started dying, after just a few days.  We tried expanding the xpens, but the vegetation in the new area started dying after a few days too.  So, we leash walked 10, and just put Joey and Gabby in a single xpen.  We walked 4 at a time, up & down the dog walk area.  The dogs loved it.

The weather was mostly very nice all the time we were there, but starting at dusk, the mosquitoes were TERRIBLE!!!!

Tifton KOA, Tifton, Georgia

PFR *****
Campground ***

This was a decent campground, that we stopped at on our way to FL.  The site was spacious.  Large enough to put out all of our xpens.  But, there were a LOT of gnats!!!  It was so bad, that when a dog would poop, the gnats covered it almost before it hit the ground!

This was the one where we watched some people across from our site, chopping up a tree and bushes, to make room for a small TT.  The maintenance building was also just across from our site.  And, there were pecan trees.

Site #38

Length of stay, 1 night
