Camp Venice

We love the live oaks overhanging the road in. All the sites are fairly level and have oak trees everywhere. The pool is clean and warm. The laundry is an easy reach from most sites. The crew work hard at maintenance and it shows. It has an incredible old FL feel with shopping centers close by. The river is right out of a movie complete with tons of wildlife.

This Place Is Not Worth The Trouble We have stayed here for the past 5 years. It is a neat place and a great location, next to Snook Haven (which is going away unfortunately). The facilities have gone downhill each year. They have not made any attempts to improve anything and management ignores issues, especially electrical and flooding (non-river) just from a gentle rain. They don't have any qualified maintenance employees to correct any of these issues. But the real issue is a manager (Ann) that doesn't care about anything. She doesn't provide any customer service, if you question anything that she does, then you are alienated. She removed all of the pool chairs and tables from the pool area just because one customer disagreed with her. She denied a reservation to a customer because they questioned electrical status on a specific site and she didn't understand that it was not causing an issue. It was just an excuse to deny access to a customer that questioned a non-issue. We suggest you look elsewhere.

Oh boy! The people managing the campground are very rude and treat their customers with complete disrespect. During my stay from Dec 10 to Jan 2nd, more than 6 different people told me that the mgmt made them move campsites, even when nobody showed up to camp in their spot or there were numerous other spots the new people could have moved into. All spots were similar. Others told me that when they gave a bad review, the mgmt, especially ANN, would come and give them an additional bill. Which they will deny on their credit cards. Others said they would call them and ask them to slow down. Although they didn’t seem to be holding a radar detector so I am not sure they knew if they were going exactly 2 or 7 miles an/hour. I went to the office and told them that they had probably better let me out as I will start to stand up to the ugliness. I told them that I knew what they were doing to their customers and they were going to lose business. Anyways, I told them I would be leaving early after they charged my credit card for the amount for the end of the month and I would be disputing the charges.The next day, they called me into the office and said get out by 11. I said that I had an appointment at 10:30 but I would pay an extra day but pack up and leave after my appointment and they said, “No, you will be gone by 11”. I said, “fine but I want all my money back for the original month I had paid for. They said, “I think we can do that” and I said, “No, you WILL do that.”. They did not refund me for the original days so I will be filing a dispute with the attorney general. I then had mail delivered there and they said if I signed a form saying that ai wouldn’t give a bad review, they would give me my mail. I showed up and refused to sign the form. I walked out of the office and called the sheriffs department and a deputy came, we walked in and they kindly handed over my mail. THIS NEW MANAGEMENT and campground was reported to the Better Business Bureau as well. Please safe yourself lots of disrespect and try camping somewhere more peaceful. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

The staff was extremely rude and disrespectful. Don't talk too loud or you will get kicked out with no refund. Don't have too much fun, the older residents will get mad.

Bad bug infestation, bad attitudes in the front office, nosy people. Not private and you can get kicked out for playing music and they don't give you a refund.
