We stayed here for 2 months and enjoyed it. They had different activities for campers and everyone got along great. Nice hot tub and pool area. Showers rooms were private and spacious. They offer both paved spots and grassy spots and there is good room between RV's. Grounds and pet area have a lot of ants though. They offer spray to campers but scheduled spraying would be great as well if not alre... We stayed here for 2 months and enjoyed it.

Very nice clean place to stay. The park is well manucured with full bathrooms, a pool, and hot tub. The folks we met there were helpful. The whole park and buildings are well kept. All seems safe and clean.

This park is mostly quiet, peaceful. Clean, well maintained. Paved sites mostly. Some full-timers. Offers a nice maintained swimming pool for renters, laundry, pickleball courts, mail service, monthly, weekly, nightly rates. We love this area. Small town feel. Beach and parks within driving distance. Nice paved Bicycle trailheads, going for miles & miles.

Everything is well maintained. Bathrooms and shower rooms are clean and in good shape. Site was very well setup. There is about 400 sites. This is a big campground. They have 200 full time RVers. If I remember correctly that is what the lady said that check us in.

We enjoy biking on rail trails in Florida and having our campsite the hub for our biking. The trail head for Nature Coast State Trail is a one mile ride from Strawberry Fields For RV'ers. Strawberry Fields For RV'ers is centrally located to many Central Florida rail trails. All sites are Full Hookup 50/30/20 amp. Pull through sites (198) are paved and grass sites (238) are back in.

Reservations one month or less can be made in October. We will make our 2026 reversation before we leave this spring. Owners and associates are friendly and helpful.

We highly recommend Bare RV Resort! Jessica and Bill are both amazing hosts from the time we checked in through the stay providing great service, local recommendations and introductions to regular guests. We stayed early Jan for 9 nights attending nightly activities like Karaoke and a morning brunch for all, hosted by another guest couple. The resort location was a great home base for multiple day trips of the greater Tampa area as well as the local community. The amenities and grounds are very well maintained and especially enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Our reservation for next year is already booked for a much longer stay. Can’t wait to see some of the upgrades they are currently working on.

Jess & Bill are terrific hosts, they work their tales off to ensure everyone feels welcome and are enjoying their experience. Pool volleyball is always a social event along with karaoke and pot luck dinners. If you truly want a fun welcoming experience please reach out to Bare and leave tan lines at home! Looking forward to my next visit.

Even though it was a 2.5 hr drive for me the cost of the day pass and the relaxing environment was worth the drive. I would highly recommend it for anyone especially first time nudist

I had a magical day here last month as my first venture to a clothing optional place. Spent the whole day and evening in my birthday suit!! It was SO peaceful and serene! Very casual and laid back atmosphere. I attended the karaoke and had a blast!! Staff and other guests were very friendly. I would totally go here again!!
