We recently had the pleasure of staying at Santa Fe Palms RV Resort, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the very first day, we felt right at home. Jonathan and Prince greeted us and got us settled in, and Jonathan was so incredibly helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. The staff's dedication to making guests' lives easier is remarkable. Jenny and her team at the office were fantastic. They flawlessly managed all of our deliveries?from Amazon, Instacart, and Sams Club to UPS, FedEx, and our regular mail?and had them brought directly to our campsite at our convenience. It was a huge help while our new house was being finished. The resort's amenities are top-notch. The comfort stations were always spotless and well-stocked, and the pool and clubhouse were a great, clean retreat. We also loved the little extras, like the Krispy Kreme donuts on the weekends and the fun clubhouse BBQs. It's clear that the entire team takes great pride in maintaining a clean, friendly, and welcoming environment. If you're looking for an RV resort that combines excellent facilities with outstanding customer service, Santa Fe Palms is the place to be. We're so grateful for the wonderful stay they provided during a transitional time for our family.

Really enjoyed this RV park. Good space in sites and very clean. The maintenance gentleman, Jonathan and Prince were very helpful as well as hard workers and nice people. The office people were great as well. The only issue we had was the lack of enough washer and dryers for the size of the resort. Always seemed as if at least one wasn?t working. Shouldn?t have to go to a laundromat in Gainesville for the price paid for a monthly stay. Despite that we really enjoyed our stay!

Santa Fe Palms RV Resort has quickly become one of our favorite campgrounds and is such a fantastic addition to Gainesville! As FL Gator alumni, we love visiting frequently, and this is now our go-to spot. Bonus: we even had our RV washed, waxed, and detailed right on-site. The resort is just a short distance from campus and the customer service is exceptional. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to stay while in Gainesville!
