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.

Default Overnight parking at rec center

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.
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.

Is there someone we need to check with or have you any suggestions? Thanks.
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.

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.

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.
