Shell Creek Sun RV Communities

154 RV Sites, 1 Cottage

Shell Creek in Punta Gorda, Florida, is a 55-plus community offering 154 full-hookup RV sites and a cottage with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet, open all year. A 24-slip marina, outdoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center sit on the banks of Shell Creek in Charlotte County. One hundred fifty-four standard full-hookup back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables. The sites are spacious, and the 30- and 50-amp service covers most rigs comfortably. A cottage rounds out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and recycling handle the practical side. The marina is the distinguishing amenity — 24 slips giving direct waterway access to the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor beyond. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor daily recreation, with a fitness center, recreation center, game room, and on-site dining besides. Pickleball, shuffleboard, billiards, horseshoes, a beach, and a dog park fill the grounds, with boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and water sports from the creek. Pets are welcome. Shell Creek's freshwater-to-brackish transition supports genuinely varied fishing, and Charlotte Harbor is among the most productive estuaries on the Gulf Coast. Winter is decisively the season for Florida's 55-plus communities. Book well ahead for January through March, when snowbird demand fills the Charlotte County corridor.

Cross Creek RV Resort

17 RV Sites

Cross Creek RV Resort in Arcadia, Florida, offers 17 RV sites on the Peace River, with cable TV and rigs accepted to 75 feet, open all year behind a gated entrance. An RV Super Site category joins a standard back-in tier, with an outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, clubhouse, craft room, library, and bar. Seventeen back-in sites run in RV Super Site and standard back-in categories, carrying cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 75 feet. Confirm hookups and amp service with the resort for your rig when you book. Seventy-five feet accommodates a long coach with a tow — generous for a property this size, and the Super Site category gives the longest rigs a proper home. A laundry handles the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor daily recreation, with a fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, craft room, library, and bar besides. Sports courts, tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard, billiards, horseshoes, a lake, pond, beach, dog park, and hiking fill the rest, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, fishing, live music, and planned activities through the season. A golf course is nearby. That amenity list at 17 sites is genuinely remarkable, and it shows in the resort's Good Sam 10/10/10 rating — a perfect score achieved by only six resorts in all of Florida. The property is owned by a small South Florida company rather than a national chain, and the attention shows. DeSoto County's ranch and citrus country puts the Peace River, Arcadia's antique district, and the Gulf beaches within reach. Winter is decisively the season. Book well ahead for January through March.
