East Toho RV Resort & Marina — Hotel in Saint Cloud

Not a happy camper!! So let me start on January 15 th, which was a Saturday, when we first pulled in....at the time there was no one in the office on weekends, therefore if you didn't know where your spot was, you searched for it. When we found the spot, there was no way at all a 36' motorhome with two slide outs was fitting in the spot. Just getting to the spot was difficult for us...it was way in back. So now we can't fit in spot and there was no one to contact to find out what to do. No one answered the phone either. So we drive back towards front of grounds and pull into a spot (80). Now this spot was nice and large, but this area was also where all the improvement work was coming out of and being done. Anyway on Monday my husband goes to office and explains what happened. They quickly fixed the situation and allowed us to stay in spot 80 for the next two months @ $700 a month. During the week, up to about 5pm, it was noisy as work was being done. We chose the spot, so we dealt with it. There were evenings here and there that people, workers? came and dumped things in the big dumpster and woke us up. Again we didn't complain, etc. Now when we booked, it stated on the website the pool would be open in February...as of today, no pool. So now there really isn't much to do...around the lake entrance was being worked on. But again, we were ok, we were comfortable in our spot. So we decided to stay another two weeks from 3/15 to 4/1...now we had been there two months and paid $700 a month & 💡 c on time....on the 15th I noticed over $800 taken out of my bank account, so my husband goes to check it out...they told us it was for the next two weeks....are you kidding me?? Most campgrounds give you a break if you want to extend your time a week or two. But this place with nothing to do, no pool, no activities, the worse mail service ever is going to charge us $800 for two weeks. So now two handicapped people had to get everything closed up and put away so that we could pull out because they would not budge on offering the two weeks at a reduced price. We sat in a Walmart parking lot last night, during tornados to find another place to go. I had planned to return to this campgrounds once they completed renovations...

We originally reserved about 6 months out; I called and spoke to someone and we did everything over the phone. Then I called back a month before we were headed that way and found that our spot had been given to a long-term resident. So I explained we were in a 25ft hybrid travel trailer with dual slides; so they arranged for us to be in another spot. Now, this whole time I'm asking them to make sure there is a picnic table at the spot. We checked in on Jan 17 2017 and i asked about the picnic table; then we drove around to site 141. It was an extremely tight spot to get into, but once there we fit fine with a 25ft hybrid travel trailer and our 2500 Truck. No picnic table. So at 230pm we rode our bikes up to the office and inquired about the picnic table. I was told we would have one brought over or if another site close to us was vacant, we could swipe their table. Well, every site around us was booked solid with residentials. So at 330pm I went back up the office, new girls there, and inquired once again about the picnic table; this was the first time they had heard about it; so they wrote up a work order and said that the maintenance people leave at 4pm but we'd have one tomorrow. On the 18th we headed to Kennedy Space Center and we we got back around 3pm, there was our picnic table. New, clean, painted one. So communication is not their strong point. We checked out on Jan 21 2017 and came back home. Yes this is a fish camp that they are trying to convert to more of an RV park type atmosphere; but all-in-all, we like the place. The regulars stopped by and chatted with us and every time we rode our bikes around, everyone waved and said "hi". My husband's only disappointment was they had a sign for soft-serve ice cream and we found out the machine was broke. Would we stay there again? Probably so. Close to Gatorland, Kennedy Space Center, and we found the Walmart only 2.5 mi away. The electric connection was good and we had great water pressure (smelled like chlorine though, they treat their own water). Airboats ran up until 10pm and the park is in the flight path of the airport; so we heard planes overhead constantly, but was easy to get use to the noise. Very wooded, we saw ducks, gators,...

2/10/2022 update. Park looks way cleaner, trees have been trimmed, some of the available sites have new concrete slabs, because they were a tripping hazard. A few of the cabins have been remodeled. Better garbage dumpster and a cardboard recycling bin. They are still working on the pool and nearby eating/drinking area and paving a lot of sites by the pool area. They have cleaned all 3 lakes inside the park and now it is joyful to watch the ducks, turtles, alligators, and birds. As stated before, this park is beautiful. On the negative side: water outages, whether for scheduled work or not, continue to happen without any notice, not allowing people to prepare, fill up the tank and make any other preparations needed. Even if it is due to an accidental strike on the pipes, pipes burst, an email to everyone should be sent immediately informing the reason there is no water, along with an estimated time of repair. For scheduled maintenance, emails should be sent as well. So if you don't mind staying in a place that would cut your water without notice, hopefully not when you are in the shower, this is the place to come.

9/29/2021 update. Park was officially sold a week ago and there is a lot of reno going on. Pool, cabins, water lines, roads, etc, etc, etc. Place is flooded w workers. This is awesome!!

Aug. 2021. I am a resident now... there is zero amenities. This park is "nature wise amazing"... have not seen any other park w the possibilities to become "the RV park" in the area. Has a little marina, boat ramp, little souvenir store.... but if someone w a set brain and money out there would see this park, would turn it into anything they wanted. This park is unique, has a natural canopy to envy. With historical oak trees and wild life .... i walk it every day and it doesn't get old. If someone would give it the attention it needs, it is limitless.... Even having NO amenities, i love it.... The 3 star rating is because i am paying for a resort (which includes amenities) but in reality...
