Southern Gates RV Park & Campground

$25/day based on $175/week rate (website quotes $150/week). Another no-frills park that we really liked! Not many others here at this time of year, so it was very quiet. Sites are weirdly laid out but they will walk you to your site. Fairly level, shaded, dirt/grass site with good hookups (50amp). Note that there isn't a breaker on the 50 amp plug so be careful hooking to and unhooking from power. Beware if you have a macerator as the sewer can't handle quick draining. There are some run down mobile homes/cabins around the perimeter but don't let those dissuade you. The owners are working hard on upgrading everything here, literally saw them working every single day. Good Verizon and AT&T signal - important since there is basically no campground internet (that's why they get 9/10 instead of 10/10). There are two washers ($1.50) and one dryer ($1.00) as well as rest rooms/showers (didn't use). This is no resort, but a nice, quiet, relatively inexpensive place to use as a base camp to see the sites in the area. If we use the same route back north in the spring, we will definitely stay here again.

Stopped at Southern Gates when leaving Florida because of Hurricane Ian. Staff is the definition of southern hospitality. We came in very late at night from a long day driving. The owner met us at the gas station and drove us right into a site. He did this when other RV parks were closed, and we had nowhere to go. If you're looking to stay with great people, who take pride in their RV park, and care about you, this is the spot.

Very nice people but the campground needs work. No pads or gravel. You just park in the muddy grass.
