While here in the Tampa Bay area we are staying at Yankee Traveler RV Park. You have to be over 55 to stay here so it consists mostly of retirees from up north, mostly from Canada, thus the flying of the Canadian flag. Nearly all of them head back north when it turns warmer. It's a nice park of mostly park model homes, very small and closely packed together. There are lots of activities planned for the residents including pool exercise, bible studies, shuffleboard, golf outings, pot luck dinners, card games, and tours of area attractions.

The pool area is quite nice with a large hot tub.

Here is a photo of the office building. It seems that everyone around here doing maintenance, janitorial, and office work are retirees that live in the park. They really are busy bodies that do excellent work. Everything is kept so clean and orderly. The owners live on the second floor. 

 

Our campsite can be seen in the background. The landscaping is well manicured with flowers everywhere.

 

Campsites are nice sized. Each has a concrete pad with a picnic table. A typical park model can be seen next to our RV. I believe we have more room than most of these homes.

 

There are 3 long rows of RV sites, mostly park models. There is another separate area for those who have dogs. 

 

 

Shuffleboard court area.

 

 

 

There are two separate laundry rooms. This one is conveniently across from our RV.

 



 

In summary, Yankee Traveler is an excellent place to stay. The amenities are top rate and it's location makes area attractions a short drive away.

About the only knock on the place is it's location on a busy road. It's in a very heavily populated area. Access into the park is difficult, particularly with road construction taking place up and down Ulmerton Road. From talking to local residents, construction has been going on for several years and completion not scheduled until 2015. Even so, we would stay here again in the future.
