My family and two other great families had a great time at this place. The Westgate River Ranch is a great place for family camping. The kids had a blast riding their bikes in participating in a lot of the activities. Although it rained the rodeo still went on and was exciting. I can't wait to plan another trip out there!

CYPRESS TRAIL RV RESORT REVIEW-BREATHTAKING FIRST IMPRESSION-PARK DRIVE THROUGH-EP01
It was breathtaking pulling into the Cypress Trail RV Resort in Tice, Florida, which is in North Fort Myers. This was how we spent our first winter out of Wisconsin since we started to full time RV on June 3rd 2017.
We wanted our first winter as snowbirds to be special,.....in case the RV Life ends up being a bad choice! We stayed 12-27-2017 thru 5-1-2017. This place has an amazing pool/spa area, and has tons of activities to participate in. This was the most expensive monthly rates we ever paid in the prior 6 months of travel. We paid $1970/mo. (FHU with electric included) for the high season time we were there. We were on a premium lot, with a pond/fountain view.
