Comments Bob and Cheryl, We stayed August 15 and when we returned I am afraid I wrote a bad review which contains lies. I want to apologize. The review website lets people post lies and the campground has no way of defensing them self or any recourse so I am taking this opportunity to set things straight. I lied about what I paid so it wouldn't look like I paid half price. I lied about the bathroom. It was clean. I lied about the picnic table. It was very useable. I realize that leaving pet food out is an invitation to ants. You have a very nice campground and I was in a bad mood when I wrote the review. I didn't think you could tell who I was when I wrote those lies but I guess I was wrong. Once again, I am sorry.

Comments Thanks for your hospitality! Our grandkids had so much fun in the pool and playground. It has been a long time since I have seen a merry go round! Your stop was a definite favorite. We will be back in the spring when we head back to Disney.

Comments This is the easiest campsite we have ever pulled into! We always try to get a pull thru and every site here is a pull thru. We pulled around the office and right down the center into a wide and long level site. The cookie was a nice touch, too! We are planning to stop here every time we head up the interstate. Thank you so much!

Comments This was the favorite stop of a 3 week trip to Florida. The owners were so welcoming and the campground is quaint and peaceful. We paid a lot more at other campgrounds and Southerngates had the nicest bathrooms and prettiest grounds. We will definitely return.

Comments Thank you so much Bob and Cheryl! We loved our stay and will be back. It seems like there are fewere and fewer campgrounds along our route and yours is a true gem. What clean restrooms and nice grounds.

Comments We just stayed the night at Southern Gates and had a wonderful visit. We had a terrible day traveling and were so pleasantly surprised to be led to our site which was a straight drive down past the office. In the morning we simply circled around the bathhouse and drove out. No unhooking or backing to get to our level site. We will definitely return and tell all of our friends. Thank you so much for the easy stay!

Comments Thank you so much Bob and Cheryl! We had a great site down the middle. We pulled right in and pulled right out the next morning. You have one bad review that we found out in the internet world. It was obviously written by someone who has never stayed there. In our 23 years of camping we have learned to take review sites with a huge grain of salt. Especially sites where the "reviewer" is not obligated to prove they stayed or give the owners a chance to respond. I know most campers can recognize a fake review but I just wanted to bring it to your attention in case there is something you can do about it.Okay, I will get off my soap box to thank you again for the wonderful cookie and tell you we will be back every time we are headed south!We will definitely tell all of our friends about you.

Comments My family and I were driving through and needed to turn around and decided rather than use one of the many gas station driveways along the way, we would come down the road and drive through the campground. We didn't stay because we had other plans, but will definitely come in the future. It is so picturesque and relaxing! The lady in the office who spoke to us was so nice and even told us we would get cookies when we do return! This is really a hidden gem we are looking forward to discovering! I think it is so nice because they really seem to make sure only the best, most honest people stay there!

Comments Our friends found this spot and we are so glad they did. We were treated like long lost friends and will definitely come back up on our way home in March. The WiFi worked perfectly way out on "the North Lawn" as they call it. We will recommend this park to everyone we meet in Florida because it is the perfect distance for a one day drive headed north. I am already looking forward to the cookies! Try this park, you won't be disappointed!

Comments We stopped with our friends and couldn't have been happier that we did! Bob and Cheryl greeted us and made us feel like family. The park is just right for us. It is the perfect stopping point on our way to our FL home. The cookies were great and we will definitely be back in the spring!

Comments We saw the sign for Southern Gates RV Park on I-75 & decided to give it a try. We were glad we did. Cheryl & Bob were very accomodating & friendly. They gave out cookies when we checked in that were very tasty. The park was very clean & quiet. The surroundings were beautiful. We would recommend Southern Gates RV Park to others & will be returning to stay again when we are in the area.

Comments Found you on a sign on I75. Needed an overnight stop. We are between workamping sites and on our way to Dollywood to work. This is a GREAT PLACE clean and neat all pull thru sites. Lots to do here. We will be stopping back on our way home to FL. RVer's stop in and get free cookies and have a quite nights sleep, walk in the woods, swim in the pool, fish, playground for the kids. And it is only 2 blocks off I75. This is a great campground and very reasonable.

Comments We stayed at your park last night, December 9, 2010. Thank you for the cookies and guiding us to a suitable site be enough for our big rig and tow car. I left the water running a little as you instructed and it look fine this morning when we left. Be on the lookout for us again because it was a great place to stay and you folks are very nice as far as Betty and I are concerned. Thank you for that little extra. Bill and Betty Makowski
