I LOVE Peace River, it is so close to home. I just take Clark Road east all the way to the end and boom 30 mins we are there. We usually get a group of friends and family to come out 2 times a year. We have a few ATV's we bring out that make the trip amazing. Riding for hours, great trails, you could get lost in them! They are lenient when it comes to riding, 2 people on 1 bike, just obey the speed limit when on main roads. Some of the trails twist so much you cant go more than 10mph. Plus gotta watch for other riders on the tight trails. We also bring our kayaks, canoes and canopy! A ton of sites right on the waters edge! Beautiful everywhere you stay, we only do primitive camping to get away from all the people and technology, i mean that is what camping is all about right?! I rarely use the restrooms up at the front because they are so far but we created a designated spot and kept it clean with all essentials. Overall I would highly recommend this to all! Living in Sarasota, the short drive is convenient and perfect little get away from the City. If you want to get away to the woods and have a few outdoor toys to ride, this is the place! read more

I have never stayed in a campground where they nickel and dime you to death! They are very rude you can't drop anyone off and the lady in the office and the man at the ground need to go back north! Definitely not from around here will NEVER go back! I have traveled around the US and never have been treated like this! Would not even give this a 1 read more

While you would assume that the employees of this establishment would have patience and understanding towards children you will be surprisingly disappointed. The employee Don, was very disrespectful. He rolled his eyes and had no patience with the children. When the children were trying to explain something and had no knowledge of something he was making them feel idiotic and irresponsible and stupid. Putting the children down and making them feel incompetent. Putting children down shouldn't be a trait that the Owners of peace river look for in employees. After the fact he came to our site and told us,the parents, the situation with such disrespect. He was constantly rolling his eyes and belittling everyone. As we were still talking to him he almost ran me over, on his golf cart. We are supposed to having a vacation and having fun and he decides to be disrespectful, plain matter of the fact. I went to talk to the owners of the establishment and they told me that I was "overreacting". They didn't even take into consideration what I was saying. When all is fine they are happy to take the positive compliments but when there is a complaint they completely ignore it. Assuming that their establishment is perfect. When there is always room to grow. This is showing how little time they spend on costumer service. This is my last time here. We have been coming to this establishment for many many years, and after seeing this hideous display of character by more than one person me and my family and friends will not be returning. read more

My family and I have been going to Peace River Campgrounds for 15+ years. We just went again last weekend (3/20-22/15) and noticed the experience was no longer pleasurable. Firstly the amount of people w/ ATV's, 4 wheel vehicles, etc has increased exponentially to the point of being obnoxious and they are everywhere !! Most are speeding and reckless with no regard to fellow campers. They should remove the name 'Peace' from Peace river Campground. We generally stay on the 'primitive' side of the campground and will occasionally use the facilities (showers, toilets, etc) which are located on the RV side of the grounds. In the past these facilities were clean and well kept... This is no longer the case. The shower stalls were extremely dirty, the water pressure was minimal and the water was tepid at best. Same story for the bathrooms, very dirty and un kept, to the point of being disgusting. I lodged a complaint to management but fairly certain it fell on deaf ears. As mentioned before we have been going there for years, and have taken many friends and family, however now we will have to find a different place to camp. read more

We have been coming to Peace River Campground since I was a child, but after our last trip, we will NEVER return! We always come as a large group, are very respectful and courteous, help our fellow campers when they need it just as they do for us. However, not only were my fiancee and his cousin's wrist bands taken away for trying to race my son to the bathroom, overly harassed by 'security', kept up all night by a site close by screaming profanities all night long (yet THEY were not stopped by security) but to top it all off, we paid for the entire weekend arriving Friday, along with the $10 a day per person wrist band for anyone driving OR riding ATVs, and then were completely rained out by the middle of Saturday (no one's fault but Mother Nature)... but were not offered any money back for the time that we paid for that we COULDN'T and DIDN'T stay. The staff, except two of the ladies in the office are horrible and rude. The guys on the golf carts are the WORST!! And the man named George who thinks he is the King of Peace River is absolutely the meanest most horrible man that I have ever met. He has no compassion for children, illness, or accommodating his guests... only the money that he can force out of their pockets. If you want to enjoy your camping trip... DON'T COME TO PEACE RIVER CAMPGROUND, IT'S NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE!!!!!!! read more

This place is hilarious. The grounds are beautiful and I met a lot of super nice rednecks. There is a real live mini-horse. Not a pony, a mini-horse. The facilities were fine. During the day there are lots of ATVs zooming around but just don't camp in the open sandy areas by the river where it's fun to ride ATVs around. At night it's nice and quiet. read more

Within 10 minutes of arriving at our campsite, we noticed an infestation of black ants. They were everywhere and both my boyfriend and I were bit. We called the office and they came right away to spray which took care of them for the night. They were right back the next day. We spent 90% of our time in our camper due to the ants. The wood we bought collected thousand of ants. gross, we just left the bundles there. We had to call to request a picnic table and fire ring and again they brought is right away. The site was way overpriced. We paid $66 per night plus an additional $2. per night for AC. AC? this is southern Florida, I would imagine nearly everyone uses AC as it was 80+ degrees. There were older, rusty rigs everywhere and those giant ATV thingys which we are not into. The site across from us had 3! Plus a boat! The Peace River itself was amazing as was the Canoe Outpost company next door. So for that reason, we enjoyed our time. It's just the accommodations that disappointed us. The folks in the office were very kind and friendly though. read more

Came here as a little girl all the time (I'm 19 now) I have the best memories here!! I loved going to the ice cream socials on Saturdays and riding on four wheelers in the woods. My family also loved playing paintball. I miss this place so much! We stopped going after hurricane Charlie. read more

Don't waste your time or money! This place is a joke! They nickel and dime you for everything. My brother went up to help my parents setup their camper for the week and they made him pay $7 for 2 hours. He told them he was just helping and wouldn't be using any of the amenities. They had no remorse and did not care. Either you pay or leave! We were having a family get together and they charged each person $18 just to walk into the campground. And to make it worse the $18 did not include all amenities. If you wanted to enjoy the Peace River (which is public) and ride the four wheeler you had to pay an additional $10. So you technically have to pay $28 a day to "enjoy" all amenities the campground has to offer. We informed them that it was a little ridiculous they charge so much for a visitor... they did not care! Their customer service skills are horrible. The women who run the office are extremely rude and disrespectful. Had we of known about all the crazy charges and rude staff members, we would have never went. However, they lost a lot of good customers whom were going to stay over and over again as well as keep their camper storage there yearly. But the truth is, they really don't care! Again, don't waste your time, especially if your on a budget. read more

Zack was very fun and professional . More like a real airboat ride unlike the one I took in Everglade City that was boring. Very good value. Would recommend this to everone read more

We stayed on a shared paver site with our friends which is the main reason I gave two stars instead on one. The shared paver sites are their only redeeming aspect. If your planned RV trip is mainly to ride ATV's this campground is your place. If your plan is to enjoy the peaceful clean open air of the outdoors and amenities of RV resorts, don't bother! This campground is COMPLETELY run-down, unmaintained and DIRTY! The worst part to their lack of maintenance is that they five and ten dollar you to bankruptcy for any enjoyment you want to have.(ie additional guest, car parking, operating your own off-road vehicle) without using the money to clean or update the place. It's a shame because the park has great appeal if proper infrastructure was completed and maintained. There seems to be a high percentage of year around residents living there and the sites show it if you now what I mean. The part-time staff want to help out when there is an issue but are instructed to be mindless and must call an owner to get instruction, which 9 out of 10 times results in the owner NOT be cooperative. Example, a person in our party wanted to operate a golf cart that we brought to the park, they paid the $10 fee but when the clerk attempted to place the paper bracelet, the payee informed them they were allergic to the adhesive that held the band on. The payee asked if they were other bracelets available without adhesive, the clerk wanted to help but needed the owners approval, owner would did not give it so payee attempted to wear it but the next morning had blisters around the wrist and had to remove it. The payee went to the office to show what happened and ask again for other options and was told there were none. They never got to operate the golf cart after check-in the previous day so they asked if they could get the $10 fee refunded and the owner said "absolutely NOT, they do not refund those fees!" Needless to say, if maintenance and cleanliness are an overall issue you can assume the restroom and shower facilities will be a mess and they were! We spoke to a "primitive" tent camper that thought the actual Peace River next to their tent site was a cleaner place to bathe then the showers and used it instead of the campground facilities. read more

I've been coming here for years I heard from other people and even seen on how rude and nasty the the staff can be. They approach you in a rude and combative manner. It's never happened to me until today. I went out looking for my friends young daughter who was lost on the trails. I got to an open riding area and one of the staffers pulled out in front of me and immediately says in an aggressive manner "give me your riding band". There was no nice approach. He wouldn't even let me speak. I may have gone over the speed limit but the approach and aggressive manner in which this staffer came to me was inexcusable. He followed me to my campsite and when my wife tried to speak w him he also wouldn't let her speak and she said to call the owner George who never came. We later decided to go to the office and speak w management to make things right only to be verbally attacked the moment we walked in. George the owner was there and verbally attacked my wife and basically said he didn't care if anyone came to the campsite and if they lost us as customers. We've been coming here for over 10 years and only in the last 2 years have they treated us so bad. We are family people. We bring our children. But this is the last time peace river campground will ever get our money again. read more
