Family traveling by motor home
 

Family members are coming through for a couple of days. They are traveling by motorhome towing a car. They will stay in our home but wondered where we can park their rig. We’re in a courtyard villa neighborhood so streets are pretty tight. There is parking at the postal station. We have also seen campers in the extended lots behind the square. Is there someone we need to check with or have you any suggestions? Thanks.

You might try checking with Lazy Days RV dealership on 44 near 301. They have a campground (or did when it was Alliance RV).

If they will be staying with you, have them contact Baker Brothers Storage on 44Hwy near Brownwood. They can park their rig their for a one month fee of $55.

If it's only a couple days go to your regional rec. center and get a parking permit, otherwise you will have to go to one of the local RV storage facilities or Recreation Plantation.

Go park at the new ballpark, there’s one parked there all the time. It’s in the lot all day and night.

Villages RV Park on Rt 301 just north on the Turnpike in Wildwood. Cheap! My friend stayed there three nights. They have hook ups as well.

There's usually a good
 

reason why its CHEAP.

The only reply that makes sense to what the OP was asking.
Just a place to park……..nothing else. Geez!

Sorry, have to disagree with you. Using an RV campground (like at Lazy Days) allows you to keep the rig plugged into shore power. You don't have to sleep there.
Just parking at a rec center (I have not seen that in TV but assume it's allowed with a permit) likely would not include any sort of power hookup.

Anyway, there are lots of options for the OP.

Was a hookup asked for?

Maybe it is wanted if the visitors know what they’re in for weather wise. I wouldn’t park an expensive RV for a week or even three days around here without air conditioning. I suppose some do but I hate the smell of mildew/mold.

Reminds me of Christmas Vacation. Tell cousin Eddie I said hello:bigbow:
Randy Quaid is a great guy by the way!

The Everglades Softball complex usually has big RVs parked there.

All Regional Rec Centers are the only allowed parking for motor homes. Just go inside and ask permission.

For those who don't understand, getting a spot in an RV village can be 40 or $50 per day easily. Yes you can plug in and dump your waste. Getting a storage spot can be $50 a month in any one of the many storage places with units. These at least have a fence and cameras. getting a regular parking spot in The villages might be permittable and free but it would not necessarily have a fence nor a place to plug in or a place to dump your waste.

I’ve had friends store their RV at Blue Parrott in Lady Lake while they visited me. They found it in a campground guide. They did not want hook ups…the price was very reasonable.

Overnight parking at rec center
 

Years ago I p/u a overnight parking permit from Truman; filled it out and on turning it in, was informed no overnight parking was allowed. Never figured out why they have a permit form.

If only a couple of days.... PARK it in your driveway...

Google The Villages RV Club (I'm not allowed to include the URL here.) and check their website for the rules on parking RV's in The Villages. There are several RV storage facilities nearby they can check into, some have spots with electricity if they want that. There are also several nearby RV parks and rates are at their lowest right now.

Almost every RVer knows you can or used to be able to park in Walmart. Sam set this concept up for his daughter, so the story goes. Usually for a night but we had been to sone for several days. Park out of the way. Be courteous and talk to the manager. If he/she says no, go find another one or they may suggest one. Good place to stock up on food and clothing that suits that area. We have only been asked by one Walmart not to park there and that was because a bunch of ‘have not’ vandals thought it was entertainment to spray paint the rigs of the ‘haves. We have great respect for Walmart taking care of the people in this way.

3Flags park on 44 almost across from Russell Stover. If they can get in.

We learned that when visitors come, hand each one a roll of toilet paper as a welcoming gift. When they ask what that is for, you tell them “when that is gone…you’re gone” It brings a laugh but make a point.

Don’t do that without a parking pass. We had family with an RV. If it can fit in front of your house or in you drive way they can stay there for a couple on days. Unhook the car and don’t block anyone’s driveways.

Someone missed breakfast.......

RV Park
 

Does The Villages have their own RV Park?

Three Flags RV campground on Hwy 44 if they have a Thousand Trails membership. Full hookups, and the unit would be safe while they visit you.

No, but they do have a RV Storage area along El Camino. I believe this requires approval and/or authorization to park an RV here though.

Recreation Plantation 0n 466 near rolling acres road, call them. Best bet.

Read the post people! Party says family is staying with them in their home for a couple of days, just looking for a place to leave their rig for a bit. No need for electricity or a dump station and no need for a month or more to store it. 🙄

I see them parked in the street all the time for a few days. But since your in a Villa that is not a reasonable option. The closest RV park is probably your best option. If a special friend or relative, I would pickup the tab. But that’s just me. In any case, enjoy your visitors.

Recreation Plantation off 466 just past Rolling Acres if they need shore power. Or call the Villages business office. $45 a month in a secured gated and patrolled lot off Rolling Acres by the driving range.

Most folks traveling in an RV need shore power to keep the frig running. Even if a gas frig there is still a battery that runs the gas frig. Really.

The thing is, Pat, many people read this forum and many have RV’s or have friends/family with one and this info is helpful. This is Talk of The Villages at its best!

I think it rambling repetition.............
