Sun Retreats Naples East

I’m still staying at Club Naples. I arrived at the end of March as states were closing due to COVID. So glad I made the decision to stay in Florida at CLub Naples during quarantine.

I also learned, when a wild fire in the vicinity sounded alarm, that they handle emergencies very well.

Everyone is so nice at this park. From the moment I arrived I was welcomed by staff and full time residents openly. While most of the amenities have been closed for most of my stay, things are beginning to open up and I can say the pool is well kept and very clean. It opened back up and all the right measures are in place to sun safely. Pickle bar courts and bocce ball courts are very nice.

The workout room isn’t open but from a peak in everything looks great!

Free WiFi to check email is amazing and cable too!

I’ve stayed in three rv parks in Naples and this is my favorite. It’s a cars drive away from the beaches and downtown but most of the ones closer are 55plus communities anyway (which is kinda bull but we won’t get into that today).

Club Naples is conveniently located just off I-75 on the east side of Naples. The Park itself is well-maintained and the staff was friendly and helpful. The residents were also friendly, though the plethora of custom-designed "no dogs" signs were off-putting. Apparently they have a bigger problem than other parks with people not taking their dogs to the appropriate spaces. A large fraction of the park appears to consist of long-term visitors judging by the outdoor decor. Unlike some parks, sites are clean and there is not a lot of random junk laying around. That is good because the sites are quite small and consist entirely of concrete. It can be a tight squeeze to get through and backed in, but the staff is happy to help (thanks CJ). The pool looks nice and there are several shuffleboard and bocce courts plus a small dog run. Overall I would say this is a fine place to park oneself for the winter months.

On a side note, while we only camped here for one night, we also spent five nights in one of their cottages. These would be a nice option if you are staying here and have family come to visit.

There are two extremes to this campground. First, the people who stay here tend to stay for long periods. The constant theme we heard and experienced ourselves is that people are incredibly friendly. Second, it is not a big campground, and its size is diminished even more by the tiny sites made smaller by the even narrower roads. If you're okay with negotiating your way to your site, you'll LOVE everything else about this campground.

It has everything your typical resort campground advertises: pool, hot tub, courts (basketball, pickle ball, bocce), shuffleboard, clubhouse, gym, etc. The grounds are meticulously maintained, and as I said, if you're there for more than an hour, you've probably already made a best friend.

The cell signal is very strong, with a cell tower literally across the street from the main entrance. The campground is convenient to all points in Naples, and is minutes away from grocery, Walmart, and other retail centers.

We were only there for two nights while positioning ourselves to go to Collier-Seminole State Park (30 minutes away). It was an enjoyable stay, but RVers with larger rigs might have some white-knuckle moments getting themselves wedged into their site. The campground is a Sun RV Resort facility.

This is a beautiful resort with super nice staff members. Ken escorted us to our site and helped us get situated. Jen in the office was very kind and accommodating. Internal roads close to the sites are perilously skinny. Site C-7 was a bit tight for our 28 foot RV but we enjoyed the concrete pad. Loved the free cable box with hundreds of channels. So awesome! Free wifi at the site worked during our first day but then it mysteriously disappeared. Kitchen staff offers inexpensive breakfast and lunch items for only $2.00 each. Wow what a steal! Clean bathrooms and showers. Pool looked great but we didn't try it.
