RV Campground Nature & Trails
The
Great Outdoors RV Resort was created by and for people who love
Florida's natural beauty. Watch native egret, deer and quail
wander undisturbed past your door. The park's 15-mph speed limit
is strictly enforced to give the right of way to a waddling
tortoise or one of our many families of sand hill cranes.
Enjoy the soaring flight of eagles above their nesting sites. These majestic residents are protected and monitored by the park and the Florida Department of Natural Resources. So, it's not uncommon to see one of our two royal residents swoop down and capture his lunch out of our lakes.
At
The Great Outdoors, bridges and walkways were built over existing marshes
and ponds. Spartina bakeri grasses were retained and added which encourages
deer to come in to feed and frolic among our moss-covered Spanish oaks
and clusters of Sabal palms and southern pines.
No hunting is allowed, but this resort has become a bird-watcher's
paradise, for which some 300 different species have been identified.
Alligators usually stay in the backcountry, but don't be surprised to
see them peeking out of one of the water hazards along the golf course.
If
you enjoy the peace and serenity of nature, The Great Outdoors
offers two miles of walking trails.
A portion of the nature trail is lit at night with low voltage lighting;
and owners and guests may walk, jog, bicycle or drive their golf cart
on the trails - however, pets are not permitted as their scent may ward
off the deer and other natural habitants.
