Tampa South RV Resort is a 4.5-star resort hotel situated along the river in Ruskin, Florida. It offers well-maintained, shell-based RV sites that provide good drainage and decent spacing, making it suitable for guests who appreciate a quieter, more natural setting rather than a concrete-pad resort experience. The property features amenities such as free Wi-Fi, free parking, a heated outdoor pool, and facilities that cater to families, although pets are not allowed and there is no airport shuttle service available.
The resort’s location offers a peaceful retreat slightly removed from busier towns but still within easy reach for day trips to nearby attractions. Notable points of interest include The Dalí Museum, Manatee Viewing Center, and the St. Pete Pier, each highly rated by visitors. Guests have highlighted the convenience of proximity to Tampa International Airport and other regional airports, all reachable within about 40 to 45 minutes by car.
Guests often praise the cleanliness and upkeep of the resort, along with a hospitable staff that fosters a community atmosphere. The presence of amenities such as a clubhouse, laundry facilities, and dog-free grounds adds to the comfort of the stay. However, some feedback notes the occasional noise from nearby train tracks and traffic, and the RV site sizes may feel snug for larger vehicles.
This property is a good fit for travelers seeking a family-friendly environment with outdoor recreational opportunities along the river, combined with quiet riverside views and access to local wildlife. The resort appeals especially to those who value relaxation away from urban hustle, balanced with the convenience of exploring the broader Tampa Bay area during their visit.

Beautiful park with amazing river walk and seating along the river to watch dolphins The staff is amazing and the manager is the most hospitable. We met people that are friends now. The location is ideal for seeing so many beaches etc. Quiet friendly park and had so much fun. We are returning next year Will miss everyone
This is a hidden gem just south of Tampa in the little town of Ruskin FL. We had a month long stay here. Sites are decent sized and well spaced. Park is quiet except for the train that runs nearby. Nestled right along the river, it has great possibilities to see local wildlife. There is a park right next door to see tortoises in the wild, too! Mail was easy to get here. Bathroom & Laundry room are clean! Nearby skyway bridge makes only a 35 minute drive to head over to St Pete Beach or just south 40 minutes and arrive at Anna Maria Island. Only 40 minutes to the Tampa fairgrounds. Just an hour from Mote aquarium. Neighbors are quiet and pleasant. No drama. We will be back next winter.
Place is very clean. Staff is fabulous and accommodating. Sites are a little snug for our large class A. Loved the activities. This is not the resort life with concrete pads and casitas, but very nice shell base sites that drain well. Pool is heated in the winter. The location is a little noisy with traffic and train tracks. Otherwise would rate higher.
Wonderful and beautiful place just close enough to town but far enough to relax. Clubhouse, pool, laundry and an amazing dock to watch sunrise. Management is like no other go way beyond to make sure stay is memorable. Always clean and is up to date.
This place is basically perfect, clean & well maintained. It is central to everywhere you want to have access to in West Central Florida but still away from the craziness. Best place I've found to kick back and relax! I will be back, time and time again.
What a nice little RV park. This is a beautiful little park right along the river! Staff is friendly and easy to work with. Pool is nice. Clubhouse is well kept and laundry and showers are well maintained. Just 35 minutes using the skyway bridge to St Pete or head over to AnnaMaria beaches. Tampa is just 45 minutes north of here. You can't beat being right on the river. GORGEOUS views right at the campground. We look forward to coming back next winter. Thanks for a GREAT stay!
The management team and office staff are absolutely the best you could ask for. This is more like a family community than it is an rv park. They are great if you have kids. They have activities for all. I have lived here for over a year now and would not want to be anywhere else. I am thankful for all the staff at TSRV! If you ever need a great friendly place for just a night or longer please give them a try. Ask for Corky and Carmen you can’t go wrong with the community!
We have a little place in Ruskin at the Tampa South Rv Resort and we thoroughly enjoy ourselves when we are able to get away for a short stay! They have a wonderful setting that is kept very clean and organized and their pool is always sparkling clean, with the perfect temperature! We love that we can keep our boat there and dock it right where we can see it from our little river cottage. Ruskin is a sleeper town and in the middle of so many wonderful large surrounding towns but it’s always nice to go back home to the quaint quiet peaceful setting of this little place, after you’re done having fun in the big city.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
