Riverside Rv Resort & Campground

We have driven past Riverside RV Resort for years and wondered what it was all about. Well, after recently retiring and purchasing a very large fifth wheel toy hauler we decided to check into Riverside. We contacted them by phone and made a reservation for a pull through slip as I am not very skilled yet at backing our behemoth trailer. The reservation process was very easy and the receptionist was very friendly. We set the reservation for a one night stay as sort of a shake down trip for the RV and a short stay, if the place was not what we expected. While driving to their location I got the idea, from looking at Riversides site map that I would bite the bullet and get a back in slip near one of the ponds or near the Peace River which runs along the east border of the resort. Upon our arrival I parked my rig in front of the office and went inside. After joking about our humongous trailer I broke the news that I wished to change my reservation. Without batting an eye the receptionist clicked her computer keys and said, «not a problem!» I explained that I was still nervous about backing in. She again clicked away at her computer and said I could have slip #222 and explains that it would be easy to back into because of the angle and that she would have one of the employees give me some «TLC» and help with backing. That was Awesome. I paid, then shortly the helper arrived on a golf cart and guided us right to our slip. He helped with backing (still need a lot of practice) and Voilà we were set. The site included a picnic table, concrete patio, 50 amp electric, water (with lots of pressure) and sewer (which was hidden under a bush and I almost couldn’t find it, but it was perfectly functional). Our neighbors were wonderful people and very patient with us neophytes. After settling in we explored the facilities and found the pool, bath and laundry houses and pavilion to be exceptional. The general store was very handy with some very reasonable prices. No gouging at all. There were lots of RV accessories for emergencies and forgetful noobs. Well, suffice it to say, we will be staying there again and again and for longer periods of time! I would definitely recommend this resort to everyone.

I cannot believe no one has written a review of this place. It must be the best kept seceret in Port Charlotte… actually its far enough east that it is in the next county but I’m sure everyone thinks in terms of Port Charlotte. Enough already. This is a very good campground and I wouldnot consider staying anywhere else when in the Port charlotte area. Great campsites very friendly staff pretty good internet but you have to pay extra for it. (I hate that). they are right in the river with a boat ramp. Only 5 minutes away from town and pretty quiet most of the time. They have a loyal group of campers tha tcvome out for most of the holidays. If you like a wholesome party on just about any holiday this is the place to go. I was there in May and people were booking for halloween. Great place for kids.
Great showers. I don’t say that very often.
I would recommend this place.
