The music and magic of our small town is on display as hundred of townies and visitors line the streets and local shops and restaurants will be open. Parade information »

If you’re a current guest of Floridays’ we wish you a safe, joyful and happy Thanksgiving and Christmas season. If you are thinking of a place to spend the winter in our little piece of Paradise, there’s no better place to spend a good old-fashioned holiday season than south Florida.

How RVers Deal With Noisy Neighbors

If there is one single fear that all RVers have, it’s choosing or being assigned a pad or parking space next the RV with a barking dog or a family that keeps the TV volume to a pitch resembling that of a jet plane. While these annoyances are more prevalent at campgrounds than in RV parks, the problem of the consistently inconsiderate, whiner, shouter, curser or partier that cares less about being a good neighbor is real, and it’s annoying.

Confronting an excessively noisy neighbor is not the solution. Moving is an option, but not always possible, and it doesn’t solve the problem, it just hands it off the next RVer taking your vacated spot.

rules & regs 2018The communal aspect of RV camping and travel is usually one of respect. You want peace and quiet in the neighborhood, and so does everyone else. Most RV parks and campgrounds have basic quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Rules aren’t always knowingly broken. The guy with the noisy diesel truck may have no clue that neighbors are irritated with his comings and goings. The woman with the high-shrilling laugh may have never been told how annoying it is.

As our guest, you must also follow certain rules to protect the park and it’s natural environment and to assure everyone’s safety and security. As the times and the trends change, we update our rules. We strive to be fair—to see things from our guests’ perspective. When new RV products hit the market, like fresh ideas for screened rooms, we may amend our rules to accommodate.

We’re fortunate to be located in one of the last true Old Florida towns: small, friendly, and quiet. Our sensible park rules are us, doing our part.

Very Friendly!

My wife and I have stayed at the Floridays RV Park for the past 5 winters now and have found this park very friendly. It has only about 70 sites most of them with a cemented pad that is next to your RV and a large one in front that can accommodate two vehicles. The owner had a new bathroom with an attached laundry room built.

Although this park has no swimming pool, it is located only 2 miles from Jupiter Island Beach where runners, cyclists, boaters and sport fishermen can all enjoy. George, the park manager, will make everything so that your stay will be everything you hoped for. Shopping is only 20 minutes to Stuart or Jupiter.

I would highly recommend that you give this park a try.

We Love This Park!

My wife and I have been coming to Floridays for eight seasons. We love this Park. It is in the small town of Hobe Sound snuggled comfortably between Jupiter and Stuart on the east coast of south Florida.

Each RV site is quite large with a cement patio and driveway with 50/30 amp service. The Park has a beautiful brand new handicap-friendly bathhouse and laundry facilities. The manager George is very friendly and helpful. He also has a BYOB Tiki Bar at the back of his house/office and most afternoons Happy Hour is enjoyed there and on special event days there is usually a potluck-style dinner.

The world-famous Jupiter Island and its beach is just two miles away. There are excellent and safe trails and roads for running and biking enthusiasts. The local stores include grocery, banks, gas, hardware, many fine resturants and of course thrift stores. All the major shopping facilities are within twenty minutes. We would recommend Floridays RV Park to anyone that likes enjoyable camping without the hassle of big city life and traffic.

High Season At Floridays

Each December, the adventurous pack their bags, load up the RV, and wave goodbye to winter. The two most-visited destinations in the U.S. are Arizona and Florida. Snowbirds want two things: sunshine and budget-friendly winter RV parks. So it’s no surprise that Floridays RV Park fills up fast and has a long waiting list. For those that choose Floridays for their South Florida winter months, we have plenty of activities and amenities to make your stay enjoyable.

Amenities

laundryRoomEarly this year we held the Grand Opening of our brand spanking new washroom with separate air-conditioned men’s and women’s showers and bathrooms in the front of the building, and a generous number of new washers and dryers in the rear of the building. The laundry section is well-ventilated and has plenty of sorting and folding tables. To be sure that the washroom sparkles, a full-time resident, Patti Owen, keeps it spic ’n span daily.

old-new MailroomOther park improvements this summer included a new mailroom and lots of new plants and grass. The new stand-alone mailroom means that guests can collect their mail from a central point away from office traffic and out of the rain. New plantings add more green space, cool and clean the air, and help create a more park-like setting.

propane fenceWe’ve also brought back Propane Rentals for park guests. No more trips to the store when making last-minute BBQ plans! The tanks sit by our new boatyard fence that connects to the park office that is also going through renovations with a new roof and remodeled office.

Activities

This season our guests will enjoy “bring your own mug” Coffee Club from 7:00 – 9:00 a.m. Monday through Friday on the screened-in porch. Floridays’ event coordinator, Fran, is always dreaming up fun ways to make meet-ups in the Community Room a great way to spend time with old friends and make new ones here in Martin County.

Guests can look forward to a full schedule of activities from Bingo (90% of the proceeds go to prizes) to Open Mic Saturdays, and an occasional gig with a local band. Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties, NASCAR and Daytona 500 parties, and our annual St. Patrick’s Party will keep all our guests with full calendars for the season.

George, the resident park manager, will once again be making memories as he takes park guests on excursions up and down South Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway. And this season will be bigger and better than ever—George has a new 35-foot all aluminum beauty!

It may be too late to reserve a space for the 2017-18 winter season, but it’s not too late for next year—Reserve now! To stay updated on what’s new for Floridays and see more photos of our improvements for this season, please follow us on Facebook »
