We have been traveling in our RV since 2015. We have stayed at Belle Parc on several different occasions. We attempted to stay at Williston Crossings for the first time and after attempting to make a reservation we were told we were blocked. We were certainly surprised at this information. Apparently Belle Parc is the sister facility to Williston Crossings. After several phone calls trying to find out why we were blocked I was told it was because of a phone call with one of Belle Parc's staff members in September of 2020 (our last visit.) I certainly remember the conversation because the staff member was very condescending and my normal demeanor changed in response to hers. At the time of our last stay not one staff member at any time informed us that it would be our last stay. We left the facility as if we had never been there, nothing broken nothing left behind. The block was all because a phone conversation was not liked by a staff member who probably isn't even there anymore. To any potential visitors "buyer beware" the wielding of power by the staff is certainly tyrannical. Two years later the staff member is no longer employed at the park and current management will not lift the block. You could break a rule that you don't even know about and be banned for life. No worries, our "group" has found another location that welcomed us and we are happy to give...
Read moreThere is a lot to love about this park! Its a 55+ park so theres little worry about loud partying or concerns about little people zooming on their scooters or bikes. But thats not to say theres no fun here. They do a great job of offering regular get togethers and activities, from BYOB Meet & Greets to dinners, line dancing, crafting and exercise options. The grounds are very well laid out and beautifully maintained. Theres a very nice pool and hot tub, pickle ball courts, shuffleboard and corn hole and a wonderfully large dog park. Theres also an on-site cafe and food truck. During our stay, there was also a weekly produce tent offering fruits, veggies, jams and honey. Sites are all level concrete with some areas of the park offering generous site space. Staff was friendly and helpful and services all worked well, with the exception of the WiFi. In the 30+ parks weve stayed in over the last couple of years, though most parks say they have WiFi, only 2 or 3 offered enough bandwidth and consistency in connection to manage basic tasks. But, since that is a common failure, it certainly wouldnt keep me away from this park. Location wise, youre a bit removed but decent beaches are less than an hour away, plenty of parks are nearby for trail hikes and we found a few decent restaurants. This park would be at the top of my list if were back in this area...
Read moreMy wife and I had reservations at a Clover Leaf Resort, a Thousandtrails park down the street from this resort. On arriving we found it didn't look anything like the pictures on the website and the park was deplorable to say the least. There are many permanent units and the residents have built onto their units and the park looked trashy and unkept. We drove out of there as quick as we could and cancelled our reservations. As we drove north looking for somewhere else to stay, we came across the Belle Parc Resort. I went in the office and told Chris about our dilemma. She was so sweet got us booked up for the next four days. The lot we had was #99, right up front. It is a back-in lot with a concrete pad and a deck that over looks the lake. It was very peaceful and relaxing, even though this place is under construction. The owner is doing a wonderful job in creating what will certainly become the jewel resort of Brooksville. So far everything they are doing is first class, attention to detail and keeping the setting natural. We will certainly make this one of our the regular stops, can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished this summer. I recommend this place...
