MARCH 2023 NEWSLETTER

SAFETY CORNER

For assistance with other guests not following rules, such as 10pm quiet time, barking or aggressive dog, please contact the office.  If you feel unsafe, whether there is someone standing outside your RV, banging on the door, or you feel in danger, please call 911. Remember your 911 address is the 5-digit number on your light pole plus the street name of your site. This can be found on the map or your address label from check-in.

Laundry Room Reminders

  • Canadian coins will lock up the machines
  • High efficiency (HE) machines need HE detergent to prevent excess bubbles and overflow
  • Detergent pods should be placed directly in the drum before adding clothes
  • Upper laundry room will be closed in the summer for drain repairs

Looking for a volunteer for next season – bingo caller!

Renewal Process

We will email & post signs throughout park when we get the new rates!

If you are here for 4 months or more this season and want to return for 4 months or more next season, you can renew your reservation!

Phase 1: Those who want to keep their same site for next season just fill out the renewal form!

Phase 2: Those who want to renew but want a different site would list their 3 preferences from the list of available sites we will send out by email (also a copy in the office). Your own site will also be on the list so you can still list that as one of your preferences. If 2 (or more) guests want the same site it will go to the one with the longest new reservation. If both (or all) guests are annuals then it will go to the one who has been here the most months total.

Once all renewals have been completed, we will send out a final list of sites available to see if anyone wants to change their site. At this time there will be a $10 site change fee.

We will then input the renewals into our CampLife system and collect deposits from all except for yearly guests renewing after their first year.

Serenity Garden

Please take a moment to stop by and relax while you enjoy the beautiful work that Monica and our volunteers have done behind the Welcome Center!

We also have some cabbage ready in the vegetable garden so help yourself to some leaves, but please don’t take a whole head so we can keep it growing.

Monica will also take any unwanted plants and plant them there or throughout the park. Please don’t throw them away! Drop them off in the Serenity Garden.

Thank you to the creative guests that have made our stays here more enjoyable.

We love seeing the beautiful rocks left around from the Rock Fairy, as well as the awesome wildlife pictures on our Facebook page.

We have even seen a flock of pink flamingos dancing in a few yards.

Wait….. you haven’t seen them dancing????

Mail Center

We received 2200 packages in January and 2000 in February!

The U.S. Post Office delivers 95% of Amazon packages now.

When you get a notification from Amazon that your package has been delivered, it typically is scanned that way when it is delivered to the closest U.S. Post Office. Please expect another day before it is actually delivered to our mail center.

Thank you for your patience!

As we near the departure season please remember garbage dumpsters are only for normal household trash.

Hernando County Solid Waste & Recycling has 3 locations to take larger items.

Convenience Center 33070 Cortez Blvd   

(352) 540-6205

Main Landfill 14450 Landfill Rd  

(352) 754-4112

Convenience Center 2525 Osowaw Blvd

(352) 754-4770

As a courtesy, please do not cut through other guests’ yard while walking. A rule of thumb would be to stay at least 5-6 feet from their RV so they can have their “personal” space! Do not allow pets to urinate on other guests’ yard items.

Maintenance has completed 696 work orders so far this season!

Thank you for letting us know when something is broken or not working as it should.

And thank you to all the staff who work hard each season!
