River Vista RV Village

Dreaming of peaceful days and nights by the water, and letting your worries and troubles flow away? Park up for scenic stays at River Vista RV Village, a Florida park on the outskirts of Ruskin and roughly half an hour from Tampa, St Petersburg and Sarasota.

On the banks of the Little Manatee River – known as one of the most pristine blackwaters in southwest Florida – this is a prime spot for those seeking a mix of fun and adventure. Near to Little Manatee River State Park, the park is well set-up for fishing getaways, boating trips and hiking hols, with a boat ramp and fishing pier on site and hiking trails within 20 minutes.

Prefer to spend trips with feet up? Kicking back is a cinch hereabouts: there’s shuffleboard and horseshoes for slow-paced days at base camp, a heated pool when it’s time to float the stress away, and a communal firepit next to the river for cosy chats with fellow guests.

Entertainment is sorted too, as dances, bingo, karaoke and themed nights make regular appearances on the calendar, and there are barbecues and happy hours for evenings spent mingling. Need an hour or two to yourself? The centre of Ruskin is about five minutes away, and there are plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from if some quiet time is sought.
