LeLynn RV Resort

mostly 55+ but we were not asked our age.  We stayed for 2 months and didn’t see any children.  Sites closest to the lake are reserved for Class A rigs only.  The staff is helpful and gave us 5 back in sites to choose from out of about 20 sites that were available.  All sites are full hook up.  Our site is in between two park models.  We would have chosen a different one if we had known that one neighbor planned a huge construction project the day after we arrived that lasted for 2 weeks.  

The park is quiet at night but does have a lot of noise from the traffic on major roads that intersect close by.  There are quite a few corn hole tournaments that take place among the full time residents and they all seem to have golf carts.  There isn’t a bike path but the park is large enough to ride our bikes with the other golf carts.

There is a pool and laundry facilities but we didn’t use either because they were in use by so many.  There are a few scattered trees but we are in full sun and the field behind us is apparently the dog run for the park.  There are no picnic tables (unless you purchase one from one of the residents that make them) and no fires are allowed.  There are individual mail slots in the office for the residents and we were assigned one when we arrived.    

The price we paid is about $40 lower per month because we stayed for 2 months.  It does not include the charge for electric which ran about $50 for the month (we used our ac a lot with the 86 degree temps in Feb!) Our water shut off for about 2 hours one Sunday because of road construction nearby but the office didn't answer or return the phone call I made since it was after 2pm when the office closed.  We only had one brief outage of electric when the entire park lost power due to an accident on the road nearby.

We would stay again if we had few other choices but it is not a destination place.

The town of Polk City is very small (there is an Ace Hardware nearby) but I had to drive into Auburndale to get groceries or take out food. The park is located close to a prison, an Amazon distribution center and an airplane museum called “Fantasy of Flight” (open on weekends only) but we felt safe.
