Emerald Coast resort adds new features, RV sites

Live Oak Landing, an RVC Outdoor Destination vacation property is geared up in time for the summer travel season as it rolls out numerous improvements to the resort. Look to see over three dozen modern additional RV sites and several other new amenities.

What's included in the new build? A screen-enclosed saline swimming pool with connected observation deck and lounge area, large playground area and air conditioning in the resort's pavilion for starters. Handicap-accessible boat tours are another new feature highlighted at the outdoor destination.  "Pondtoon" boat charters allow individuals with disabilities to navigate the water on vessels specially manufactured to accommodate wheelchairs. Additionally, RVC increased the number of RV sites on the property, nearly tripling the number of space available for RV travelers.

"When we opened the property in November 2010, it was important to us to first define our core audience and add amenities as our guests requested them," said Neil Sorrell, general manager at Live Oak Landing. "So, after talking to our guests, we pinpointed additions that will give them exactly what they're looking for in a memorable outdoor travel experience."

At Live Oak Landing, guests have access to Florida's Emerald Coast beaches and a wide range of onsite activities, including fishing charters, scooter, bicycle and boat rentals, and activities pavilion with a flat screen TV. Like other RVC Outdoor Destination properties you'll find concierge service, coffee, beer and wine bars, a dog park and a variety of lodging options from RV sites to cottages.

"What we're providing at RVC Outdoor Destinations is an upgraded version of what generally comes to mind when people think of camping," said Andy Cates, president of RVC Outdoor Destinations. "We're redefining the outdoor vacation experience by combining guests' favorite hotel amenities with their favorite outdoor activities, and it's really gaining popularity with both avid and novice campers alike."
