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!!!!

Space #GG9
One time rate of $199/month

Tifton KOA, Tifton, Georgia

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

This is the first State Park we had encountered that had a pet limit.  As we were checking in, the lady asked if we were traveling with a pet.  I said "yes", and she wrote down 1 dog.  After we got to our site, I found on the list of rules we were given that they had a 2 pet limit, with NO exceptions.  They did allow pens, so we set one up and just let 2 dogs out at a time.  It was a nice wide, level site though. :)

Length of stay - 1 night

Harvest Moon Campground, Adairsville, Georgia

The web site and info given to us at check-in only listed general pet rules.  The lady that checked us in, also did not mention any additional rules.  After getting set up and putting dogs out, a man came up and told us we had too many dogs, and that they did not allow xpens.  Also, we were going to have to carry our dogs to the other side of the park to the pet walk area, as they were not to be allowed to potty on the grass at our site, which was very nice, wide, and ran the full length of our pull-thru site.  So, we left.  They did give us a refund.

Length of stay - 1 hour
