The very nice security guard guided us to our site and told us of the amenities then left us to set up. We pulled in at approximately 8:30 Friday night. It is a pretty campground, along the lake. This is our second visit to Flamingo Lake. We will definitely return to enjoy a nice, shady lakefront site in the future! It's very family and dog-friendly and they have Bingo and live music throughout the week. Overall, I would highly recommend this RV Resort. Try to avoid going when school lets out there are a couple of school zones to drive through. For groceries, there is a Publix within 4 miles. There is also a meat market with produce and a seafood vendor within a few miles. There is a Home Depot and Walmart within a mile or two. The store has some essential RV accessories, a pretty good selection of snacks and toiletries. There is a small dog park along the I295 side, but it's not shaded so in the summer time it may be too hot. Sites 40-49 are the best if you want a shady, lakefront site. I recommend staying away from sites 177-264 which are on the I295 side. Also, it's just off I295 so you will also hear some road noise. Tips: The resort is near the airport and close enough to the base that you will get some air traffic noise. The sites are level and nicely maintained. All the people we encountered were friendly. There are two swimming areas and a small cafe at one of them along with cute little thatch roof tables/chairs and nice, sandy beaches. We walked around the lake a couple of times each day, stopping at lakeside swings to enjoy the water and wildlife. This just gave us more time to walk, enjoy the outdoors and play cards. They also have cable, but you still don't get many channels. They offer upgraded wifi, but we opted to just stay as disconnected as possible, which allowed us to fully enjoy the outdoors. The staff was very accommodating with regard to relocating us and the cost of our stay. Site #34 was a bit cramped, it was very shady and close to the bath house and check-in. It was inconvenient, but we hadn't setup our patio or the inside of the TT. Had the weather been cooler, we could have survived with no AC and kept the fridge cold on propane and stayed put. After a couple of hours, they deemed it wasn't going to get fixed so they relocated us to site #34, several sites down from #43 and not lakefront. So we setup our rig, got it leveled out and waited. They had guys actively working the issue. When we arrived, they told us about the power outage but were pretty confident that it would be fixed within a few hours. The bad news: the power was out for all the sites along this stretch of lakefront. The good news: the site I booked was the site we got. We booked site #43, which is a nicely shaded, lakefront site. Management did not even respond to my e-mail reporting the situation. Spend your money elsewhere.not worth the harassment. Made me feel like an invader to their little RV party. Needless to say, the actions by these park Karen's was unnerving and unnecessary. Shortly thereafter, a staff golf cart followed. One of the park guests started taking my picture and followed me in their vehicle. I took a picture of the number to call in case the gate was locked when I returned. On Saturday (5/22), I was walking to the main street to catch an UBER ride to go out for the evening and noticed the security gate. Thank goodness I was able to empty the water from both tanks and not allow any of the flies into my rig. I left my tank values closed until I was ready to dump. When I went to do my onsite tank dump on Sunday (5/23) and open the site sewer cap to attach my hose, 1000's of sewer flies came out and swarmed me. I was disappointed when I went to pull in that is was an older, unpaved site. When I arrived at Flamingo Lake RV Resort on Friday (5/21), I was greeted by a staff person that had me sign paperwork and directed to me to Site 237.
