Sunshine Village

Webster, Florida

In the quiet Sumter County countryside near Webster in central Florida, midway between Tampa and Ocala in the lake-dotted landscape north of the Withlacoochee River, Sunshine Village provides a tranquil 55-and-older RV and mobile home resort with 131 sites and the full recreational infrastructure of planned activities, a swimming pool, bocce ball, shuffleboard, horseshoe pits, and bike trails that the active retiree community of central Florida demands. The park's fishing pond, dog park, and on-site RV storage options serve the extended-stay and snowbird guest who makes Sunshine Village a seasonal home base within an hour of Tampa, Orlando, and Ocala's horse country and Silver Springs State Park. One hundred thirty-one sites include 41 full-hookup positions and 4 pull-through configurations, with paved super sites measuring 83 by 43 feet with 72-by-20 concrete pads for the largest rigs and standard grass and paved sites throughout the property. Full hookups include 30-amp and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer service along with cable TV and Wi-Fi for connected campsite comfort. A swimming pool, recreation hall, laundromat, bocce ball courts, shuffleboard, horseshoe pits, pavilion, and planned activities create the community life calendar that distinguishes an active adult resort from a simple site-with-hookups arrangement, and the dog park and bike trails complete the outdoor recreation infrastructure. The on-site fishing pond and the lake-country terrain of Sumter County's interior provide the freshwater fishing character that central Florida's interconnected lake systems supply in abundance year-round. The Withlacoochee State Forest, northwest of Webster, encompasses more than 155,000 acres of the Florida Interior in one of the state's largest forest properties—providing hiking, mountain biking on the Croom trail system, and the natural pine flatwoods and cypress swamp landscape that characterizes central Florida's least-developed interior at its most ecologically intact. The Villages, the massive master-planned active adult community south of Webster in Sumter, Marion, and Lake Counties, represents one of the most significant demographic phenomena in contemporary American geography—a retirement community of more than 130,000 residents with its own commercial districts, entertainment venues, and the golf cart transportation network that has made it the subject of demographic and urban planning study worldwide. The proximity to The Villages creates an active adult amenity ecosystem—restaurants, entertainment, medical facilities, golf courses, and shopping—that Sunshine Village guests can access as readily as the campground's own amenities. Ocala, 30 miles northeast, provides the horse country of Marion County's thoroughbred farms and the Silver Springs glass-bottom boat tours that have operated since the 1870s. Central Florida's subtropical climate supports year-round camping at Sunshine Village, with the snowbird season from October through April representing the peak occupancy period when northern visitors escape to the mild Florida winter that makes Sumter County's sunshine genuinely therapeutic after a Great Lakes or New England November. Summer brings Florida's afternoon thunderstorm pattern and the highest humidity, but the pool, rec hall, and air-conditioned indoor amenities provide the practical relief that keeps the active adult community comfortable through the warm months. The I-75 corridor's proximity makes Sunshine Village a practical base for a regional travel itinerary that covers Sarasota's arts district, Tampa's Ybor City, and the Gulf Coast beaches within comfortable day-trip range.

Sunshine Village Resort’s 2020 Updated Pet/Wildlife Policies: In order to provide the best atmosphere, enjoyment, and safety for all our residents and guests, Sunshine Village has put in place the following new Pet and Property Policies. We LOVE Cats, Dogs, Squirrels, Birds, Rabbits, and all of God’s other creations, therefore we MUST ALL take responsibility for the policies set in place that protect them. Again, it is for the wellbeing of the animals and for the serenity of our Community. These policies will be strictly enforced by Sunshine Village, with no “special” exceptions. By feeding ANY “stray” animal, Domestic or Wildlife, you are hurting them, not helping them. If you wish to care for a Cat or Dog, PLEASE, take it INDOORS and care for it. If you do not wish to have a domestic animal live indoors with you, you MUST not care for them in any way. Do not feed, water, or provide for them in any way if you are not going to claim ownership of said animals. Due to an increased number of complaints and concerns regarding “stray” domestic and wildlife animals within our Community, it has become necessary for us to update our PET POLICIES. Unfortunately, along with the strict enforcement of our new Pet Policies, there will also be financial ramifications for anyone found not in non-compliance with the policies, as set forth in this notification. - ALL DOMESTIC ANIMALS (Dogs and Cats), SHALL be Leashed and/or Harnessed, and under the owner’s control at ALL times. - NO Animal is to be on a Tie Out/ Tethered or left outside unattended.

If animals are found loose outdoors, said animals will be trapped and removed permanently from the Community. - Wildlife Animals: Due to the fact that there has become a high population of wildlife, squirrels, peacocks, and other birds, there shall now be a NO-BIRD FEEDING (or Bird Feeders) policy strictly enforced throughout Sunshine Village Community. No feeding of any kind to any species of wildlife will be permitted on Sunshine Village Community.
