hey y'all we found a brand new campground in florida
where each campsite comes standard with one amenity that most rvers
dream about at other campgrounds stick around and we'll show you what that is
hey y'all today we're at a little town just an hour north of tampa about an hour west of orlando
we're at oak alley rv resort in webster florida
quick disclaimer the owners here did invite us to share with you a tour of their campground
but that's not going to stop us from telling you our honest opinion of this campground
as we pull in off the road you'll notice they have four
long staging sites for you to park while you go to the office and check in
directly beside the office is um a bath house with four stalls so each one is an independent bathroom
so it has a toilet sink and shower area then this is the area where the pull through sites are
so these are going to be the concrete pads full hookup they all have 50 30 and 20 amp service
water and sewer nice and level and a picnic table
and then this building off here directly behind the office is their kind of workshop
and then on the end there's a wood shop for i guess employees and visitors to use
then you get to this little cul-de-sac right here it looks like a neat little place
that you can get a bunch of people and have your own little get-together right here yeah it'd be a
fun little area if you had a group and you were bringing let's see there's one two three four
five six six sites in this little loop so if you had a group of six or a little fewer than that
this would be a cool little area because you could set up like your cornhole boards and stuff
out in the cul-de-sac and not have to worry about them being in your site so that's a neat little
area right in front of us they they do fill up your propane on site if you need propane too we'll
drive you through this site right here so you can see how nice clean and level these concrete pads
are so the minimum site size for any of the sites here is 36 by 70. um this is a nice sized site
yeah they're all really really nice it's very well laid out all of the perimeter
sites in this section and in the other sections we're going to drive you through
are the equivalent and equivalent in size to a site and a half so they're really wide
really long we got a site here in the back end of this loop and we are able to put the
patio down on the toy hauler and still park the truck in front of the rv that's how long it is
and it's wide enough that you literally could get another rv in between hours and the neighbors i'm
not complaining i'm just letting you know that's how wide the sights are and some things everybody
asks for they want to they want bigger sites they want level sites they want this they want that
looks like they've kind of put all that together for us right here they've given us everything that
an rver has been asking been asking us for yeah the owner here also owns another park in florida
so he said we talked to the manager here and she said that he really he decided when he built this
park that he didn't want to have to come back and and make upgrades in the very near future
so he really thought long and hard about how to do it how to lay it out and what would work
best and that really does show when you drive through and take a look at this place
the trees and the spanish malls here are
beautiful it just gives it that kind of homey down home feel i guess
but if you're allergic allergies are bad i don't know if you want to park underneath all of that
yeah i don't know i have allergies but apparently spanish moss isn't
something i'm allergic to i guess um this is the main drag
back into it as you can see they've landscaped it pretty nice through here with the curb and
the curbing up there and the nice limestone rocks they're pretty street lights it's really pretty
here in the evening when the sun's going down the lights are coming on it's it's just beautiful
back here between the lighting and the sunset and the spanish moss it's it's quite something
they currently have i think it's 311 sites um but they are going to they're they're still actively
building so they're still working on the back end and they're going to have i believe it's 571 sites
when it's all said and done here's a newer section they have not completed yet as you can see they've
just freshly laid some fresh sod down they're trying to water it now to get it in so yeah the
sod trucks have been here while we were here they've been unloading and rolling sod out all
week and then once that's done i guess these sites will all be done these are all back-end sites
and then again you've got the perimeter sites to your right the um oh it got wet sprinkler
and then the interior sites on your left but they're still huge sites
we'll take you down here as you can see these are these are ready to open now all they have
to do is call the the power company come out and put a put a meter on their box and they say that
usually takes about two two to three days to get them ready so if they over book real quick
they can get these these going so we're gonna take you through a couple of the stages here
um these don't have the sod on them yet i'm gonna take you to another section up here in
just a few minutes they're still grading it and still getting it it leveled out now so
you'll see the different the whole the whole the whole stage and so these on the left have
like the water and electro everything's run and ready prepped and then straight in front of us
is i guess in front of us and to the right is where they're going to continue development
but they haven't gotten there yet but all the streets are paved there's street lights throughout
so plenty of lighting um it's just really it's really nice here it's it's a pretty area
it isn't city life it is kind of like being in the country i'm pretty sure the surrounding
area the majority of its farmland and my guess would be this used to be farmland as well but
within five minutes you can be in the nearest little town we went in monday to the farmers
market slash flea market um there was a little bit of both i wish there had been more farmers market
and less flea market but anyway it was a neat experience and then within what did
you get at the farmer market oh my gosh i got the biggest head of cauliflower i've ever seen
it's quite tasty we got broccoli which was also very good i feel like i got something else
oh got some yellow squash haven't eaten them yet but anyway it was just a cool experience
and then within 10 minutes i'd say maybe 15 you can be in to a town where there's like a
walmart and fast food and that kind of thing so although you're not in a really commercial area
you're not far away so it kind of gives you that break from the hustle and bustle
far enough away but close enough in yeah here's some of the the view i guess this is where
they're going to be adding some more adding some more later but you can see kind of what we see
here's some of the fresh saw they laid yesterday they're watering it in right now to try to
get it to root before we start before summertime gets here start parking our heavy campers on it
they also put in limestone underneath all the sod they try to build the yeah
compaction to it to the left where it looks like sand it's really not sand it's it's limestone that
he had brought in to go underneath the sod so that when you park your camper it won't sink which is
pretty cool we had a pretty good rain day the other day and ours is still pretty level
yeah we didn't have any puddling or anything like that yeah it was nice
as you can see a lot of this stuff is still under construction so we won't get to show you the
finished product of it but you'll you'll get the idea of what's going on here it's definitely far
enough along that you can tell what it's going to be and the parts that are finished you can
see how nice it is so you can just anticipate what the finished product will look like on
the parts that aren't quite finished yet the trash compactor is located directly behind the clubhouse
i'm guessing probably later there's going to be more than one but for now one's doing the job
so on your right here are some more sites that are finished and ready for people to come stay on
uh they have the meters and everything in place picnic tables on site
so as you can see here's a big site so plenty big enough for you your rv
the family nice space beside you and the guy next to you
so here's the clubhouse that they're building right now it's still under construction i feel
like the building itself is complete they're still working on the sidewalks and landscaping
outside they were putting in the cameras in the surround sound speakers just the other day and
i think they finished those which sound pretty good in my opinion as we walked up on them and
then we'll just take you on a tour around the clubhouse now this seems to be where most of the
outdoor activity areas are located you look right to the right right there they have a nice pavilion
looks like they have some ceiling fans underneath it or i'm above it i guess
for you underneath it and then to the left of the building is going to be the pickleball courts
they have 12 pickleball courts six on one side six on the other with a large tiki hut in the
middle with picnic tables and chairs so i guess if it's not your turn to play or you're between
games you have a place to sit down and enjoy a snack or just a drink while you wait your turn
it is my understanding that they will participate in pickleball tournaments and stuff like that
in this area i don't think i won't be doing any tournaments anytime soon
yeah no i'm i mean i can play a good pickle kind of but i'm definitely not worth
playing on a team or if you're counting on me to help you out it's not going to happen
but 12 pickleball courts which is pretty impressive and then also behind the clubhouse
but just past the um pickleball courts is going to be the shuffleboard courts so they have
and i don't know courts might not be the term but they have four shuffleboard courts
of course the ends where you keep score where you stand are under cover which is nice especially
in florida where the sun shines in makes you hot keep you from getting sunburned i'm gonna take up
here to the pole even though it's not completed yet this is where the pool is going to go right
behind the clubhouse is a swimming pool and hot tub i believe the pool is heated too they've been
working all week on the pool and they're coming along like they're getting the tile and the um
top edge of the pool in and i believe they're gonna lay the pavers around the pool this
week and then directly behind the pool i'm pretty sure these are gonna be the bocce ball
hope i didn't botch the name of that no you didn't um i think that's what those are
and then somewhere i'm guessing inside the clubhouse is going to be ping pong so i haven't
seen a place for that out here so i'm guessing that's going to be something that's located inside
then between kind of the pool and the volleyball courts which are sand which i
like a sand volleyball court so between the pool and the volleyball courts is the laundry facility
as well as a second bath bath house bathroom facility of course since it's brand new all
the laundry machines are brand new the washers and dryers they have standard top load washers
and then they have a couple of front load washers and i'll put the pricing for those
somewhere in this video because i don't recall what it was and as you can see their landscaping
pretty nice with the palm trees of course the palm trees are still new right now so it's going
to be really pretty here it's already really pretty so i can only imagine when they're done
and the trees are starting to mature and that kind of thing here comes the owner of the place
right here sneaking up on us so kind of between the volleyball court and the clubhouse is their
mini post office if you will so if you're going to be here for six months or a year if you're a
seasonal and you of course you need to have your mail sent they have little po boxes here for you
and i'm assuming eventually they will have like maybe you could buy postage that kind of thing so
just a neat little thing that you know one of the amenities that the owner clearly thought of when
he built this place again i know i keep saying it just seems like he thought of everything the top
load washers are two dollars a load and the front load washers are three dollars a load and the
dryers are all two dollars and then of course they have folding tables and a sink in here as well
everything's so pretty and new and a change machine
so it didn't take long for this park to become one of our hands down favorite parks
we've ever been to it truly seems like in the development the owner thought of everything here
all the details are in place and it's a great place in our opinion but the real question is
will we come back absolutely as she said this is one of our favorite campgrounds so
far that we've been to and we're so excited when he finally finishes all this we want to come back
and we'd like to do another video for you guys so you can see the end
the end result of this thing so he's put a lot of time and money and energy into this so
we want to make sure that we do another video so you guys can see what it looked like when it
was finished oh and we almost forgot to share with you that one amenity coming standard at
every campsite at oak alley what could it be i don't know let me look down here
so every campsite comes with its own modem it's wired and wi-fi so your whole camper has internet
here that is a huge thing for us especially with us working on a road i think i feel like with so
many families on the road now full timing and with virtual school people having to work on the road
this could be a game changer for so many rvers there's so many parks we've been to
that the internet is just terrible bad and if if you have to work on the road and then you have to
leave the campground to go to panera or somewhere and use their wi-fi that's a huge inconvenience
so in our opinion this is a fabulous amenity we hope you've enjoyed this tour that we've
shared with you and we hope you will take the time to come check out oak alley rv resort in
webster florida for yourself and until the next time you find us camping safe travels everyone
you
