Ellen - I live in Tampa approximately 40 miles away, and I RV camped there in May 2004.
Campground Review
Our visit to Southern Gates was like visiting family. The grounds were well kept, and the bathrooms were spotless. The owners treated us as if we were their long lost relatives. We were welcomed with friendly smiles and the many conveniences of their store. The in-ground pool gave my children a chance to swim and have fun (very much needed after a long drive from Michigan). I highly recommend Southern Gates. It was a friendly and convenient stop. Stop in and experience it for yourself. We are heading back to Florida in the fall and plan to visit our new friends.
