While they both have their merits, if you have kids along for the ride, a resort can be a great way to keep them occupied through the entire trip.

The resort is big rig-friendly, and there are electric, water, and sewer hookups. Pets are allowed, but not in most buildings or the water park, though there are some cottages that are pet-friendly. There is shade as well, which is important in a sunny state like Florida. If you want to go the glamping route, the resort also features eight Conestoga wagons that can sleep up to four guests. These can be booked for up to a week, and there is heating and AC, a TV, a sitting table, a fire pit, and even a common area. They&#8217;re\u00a0close to the bathhouse for convenience.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cottages are another option for guests and can sleep up to six. There is a full bathroom and kitchen, a living room, and two TVs, plus community fire pits\u00a0outside.\u00a0These accommodations are available daily, weekly, and even on a monthly basis\u00a0between September and February.\u00a0There is\u00a0also free high-speed Wi-Fi so you can post pics of your stay, along with a\u00a0new fitness center, a laundry room, and other facilities.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to leave the resort to dine, which makes things easy if you&#8217;re in an RV and not a car. There are\u00a0food trucks with items like burgers, hot dogs, wraps, and salads, as well as breakfast items, desserts, and a kids&#8217; menu, and you can get food delivered to your RV site.\u00a0Adults can get their drink on at the resort&#8217;s tiki bar and beer garden\u00a0as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Water park-style attractions at Splash RV Resort<img alt=\"Lazy River at Splash RV Resort in Milton, Florida\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img w-full w-full h-auto\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/aol_islands_628\/d8757a6231898ce37c0011e62ae7f0a3.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Lazy River at Splash RV Resort in Milton, Florida &#8211; johnjX550QP\/Tripadvisor<\/p>\n<p>The water park-style amenities are included in your stay, and there are a ton of them. There is a family pool with shallow water and an adults-only pool, and both are heated when it&#8217;s cooler out. (You&#8217;ll also find a seasonal hot tub.) Kids and adults alike can enjoy the water slides, splash pad, and lazy river, as well as the arcade, gaga ball court, and basketball and pickleball courts. As if that weren&#8217;t enough, there is a\u00a0cornhole lawn, a miniature golf course, a playground, and a camp store. The resort has two dog parks, a washing station, and walking trails.
