For Sumter Oaks RV Park: Escapees park in a good location (except for the donkeys toward the east and cattle on the west, depending on wind direction might be quite odiferous). Site 67 is a challenge, rough rocks guarding the sewer hookup across from leaning oak. Short terms sites are drive thru. Warm bath house, adequate laundry. We took advantage of Escapees Smart Weight evaluation, which assures each tire weight and distribution - good information for any RV.

For Sumter Oaks RV Park: I agree with the negatives in other reviews. Park is old. No wifi, no cable, limited over the air TV reception, no fire rings, no picnic tables. Most sites are not satellite friendly unless you have a tailgater antenna. Half the sites offer only 30 amp service. Traffic noise is nearly constant during the day with dump trucks running back and forth from about 4am through 8 or 9 at night. The managers are almost always grumpy - rarely smile.
The workkampers, on the other hand, are always cheerful and friendly. There is LP gas on site but no deliveries to individual sites. Shopping is good. A Walmart Supercenter is 7 miles north in Bushnell.
Tampa is 45 miles south. Ocala is about the same north. Disney World is about 65 miles east.
The MAJOR advantage at Sumter Oaks is the price. The monthly rate ($370 including taxes) is less than half the cost of all the other RV parks in the area, which is why I rate this park at 3 stars.
This is our second winter here. We would stay again.

For Sumter Oaks RV Park: This park is old. It needs a lot of TLC
Trees need trimmed
Storm debris everywhere
Our cement pad needed a good power wash to remove mold.
No wifi
Office staff not that friendly.
I suspect there are several cliques which isnt new but not so nice for newcomers.
We've stayed at Summerdale & Racoon Valley which are more well kept & much friendlier. We are Escapees members.
