Pioneer Creek RV Resort - Bowling Green, Florida

Shon H.

We stayed at Pioneer Creek RV Resort, with our Travel Trailer, for 4 seasons, starting in 2018. We loved it! The people is what made it so great! We met some lifelong friends there. It was an older park, with less amenities than other parks, but, it was the people that we returned for.

The manager we had at the time was fantastic! She would listen to people and work hard to implement concerns from the residents, whether full-time, or seasonal. Obviously, she was sooo good, they promoted her to another, larger park.

What’s happened to the park since, is just heartbreaking. The managers that were hired next were abysmal. Besides being completely incompetent, they ran off some of the longest residents that we knew about. One couple, in particular, were community favorites. They were the heart of the park. All because they had some dissenting voices (so much for living in America). Because of that, we have not returned. If they could do that to two of the sweetest people, imagine what they could do to anyone (I’m a nice guy, but, best not to push me with stupid stuff… ha!).

Well, that management couple was fired, for obvious reasons. So, they hired another couple, with high hopes of bringing the park back together. So high was the hope, that some of the long term residents, even though they were forced out before, returned and bought different Park Models to try again.

It didn’t take long for the new management to start failing completely. And, in the end, just forced out more long term residents, including the ones that, in good faith, came back to try it again. Nope. They’ve been told their agreements will not be renewed for the next season. For us, it’s mind boggling… these are some of the SWEETEST people you will ever meet!

This is NOT how you run a small, older park, without the competing amenities! You need that solid core of wonderful residents that consider that home, to welcome new people to the park, to overcome the lesser aspects!

We were going to go back the following season, in 2022, and buy a park model to create a permanent residence (we were in the process of selling our Travel Trailer). We heard about the horrible management, and hesitated (we don’t travel south until the first of January, to get through all the holidays). When that management couple was fired. We again, debated on giving it another shot the next year. Then, it just blows up again. That’s twice. For us, that’s two too many times for our comfort. Why would we buy a home there, only to have some horrible (transient, I might add!) managers “decide they don’t like you” for whatever reason. And, you’re out of your home!!

So, in the end, we settled in Arizona. In our opinion, the parks are much nicer, with full amenities. We fear that the quaint little Pioneer Creek RV Resort won’t survive all these horrible management couples who tear it, and its residents, apart, only to leave destruction in their wake.

We wish the current residents much luck in their plight. Unfortunately, because of all this, we have been brought here to leave this review.

The RV park had a great vibe! As soon as we arrived, many of the other RVs came over to greet us and introduced themselves. Lots of activities to stay busy.

We lived on the road for 3 years now and we stopped at this one in between a couple of thousand Trails campgrounds we were going to. What a pleasant surprise. It's $40 a night to stay and we were here for a week but between the pleasant conversations with so many people in the park and how well it was kept along with the fact it was even quiet in the evening being not too far from highway 27 made this well worth every penny. Definitely a place if you're looking to stop for a week or even 6 months as many do. Just so many nice people and will kept Park. All the amenities you need from a big laundry facility to shuffleboard and other normal activities. And of course a very nice, clean warm pool.

Curt and I can’t say enough good about this RV park. The grounds are well taken care of and there is plenty to do! We really appreciate the dog park that provides a place for our fur baby to run and play with his puppy friends.

Managers and staff are terrible to residents! Especially if you have a dog that is over 10 lb. I have a registered service dog that is a complete sweetheart. She is a Dutch Shepherd. The park just now told my wife and I right before the busy snowbird season that our dog is too big and said that she showed her teeth when she barked and now all of the residents are terrified. They insisted that we moved out immediately after staying there for almost 8 months. We have never had one problem in the park and the neighbors love our puppy along with anybody else that meets her. These people are very discriminatory against younger couples, and look down on us because we are not over 50 years old. Mind you we pay month to month which comes out to double the price that other residents are being charged. They would not allow us to sign a 6-month nor 12 month lease agreement to make our prices cheaper just like everyone else. They went out of their way multiple times trying to find ways to kick us out for absolutely no reason. My wife and I found a house to move into and told the park we were moving and they advised me that I still needed to pay for the whole month but it would be reimbursed if I left early. I paid $1,000 for the month and two days later on the weekend We were able to move out and have everything cleaned up for Monday. I called and asked them to reimburse the remainder of the stay that we are entitled to and now they said they do not do refunds!! Then they went ahead without permission and charged our credit card for the electric even though we are not there. This place is really nice but the people running it just completely ruined it and will for others. They're very selective about who they want in the park and it seems like they only want friends and family or people that they know. My neighbor was a cop that also has a large dog and her dog actually does snarl and bark uncontrollably at people but the park said that that is okay only because she is a police officer and that was the last straw for me that completely disgusted me that they would allow law enforcement to break their policy.

Very nice RV park. The people are the friendliest and willing to help if needed. The sites are quite nice and roomy. Lots of activities, and groceries are only 5 miles away. Also everything else you might need like Walmart, Harbor Freight, Home Depot, ect ect. We stayed a month and really enjoyed the park. The power was a little iffy at times when everyone was using there air conditioning or electric. I use an autoformer so I didn’t have a problem but you should keep an eye on low voltage. The lowest I saw was 109 volts. There are fire ants but the management helped out with them. Might want to bring along a can of ant spray.

Last year I gave this place only one star because of the management team. Thankfully wilder brought in a new team and they are super nice people. Todd and Kim will do anything to help you on your stay here and have made it once again a great place to be. Happy to be back and loving every minute of our stay here.

Quiet. The original lot we had was difficult to back in due to the size of our 5th wheel and uneven from weather. The manager was right there with us as we came in and helped us get into an easier accessible lot that was level. The children enjoyed the pool. Though we were placed as far away from It as possible. It was warm and clean. The bathrooms/shower houses were also clean.
