Wauchula, Florida

We arrived at
this beautiful preserve
on 12.20.06. It was
cloudy and a little humid
when we arrived.
This 'Resort of Distinction',
preserve is called, "Peace River". Situated along a half mile of the Peace River, the property offers more than 400 RV and tent sites on 75 acres. The mild climate and comfortable amenities will enable this resort to remain open year-round. Among the resort's amenities are 50-amp electrical service at some sites, a heated swimming pool, a hot tub, and a sauna. There are also meeting pavilio0n facilities as well as food service facilities at the park. Nature trails on the resort will give hikers an advantage in viewing indigenous wildlife, such as deer, eagles and turkeys.
The local attractions are just 75 minutes south of to Orlando and Tampa metropolitan areas near the juncture of US Hwy. 17 South and State Road 64. The Peace River campground is ideally located to explore the surrounding loacal attractions. Big-city sports arenas, amusement parks and arts districts are a pleasant drive away as are day trips to the famed white powder beaches of the Bradenton/Sarasota areas to the west. Gulf Coast (50 mi). Orlando, Disney Wild (80 mi), Sebring Gran Prix (25 mi), wildlife and bird watching.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The people were nice and the weather was gorgeous most of our days there. We spent Christmas with my twin sister and her husband in St. Petersburg, FL. and it was nice. We also rode in the "Toys for Tots", marine ride while we were in St. Petersburg. There were about 300 bikers at this one. There were kids lined up on the streets waiting for a biker to toss them a toy. It was so cute. The ride finished up with a big hog roast and a raffle. I believe about $2000 ended up being donated to the "Toys of Tots" foundation. The weather for this event was awesome.
