Zeman RV Resorts
An Infinity pool and spa plus a poolside bar are just a few of the luxury appointments.
Words by Steve Fennell
There’s just something special about Florida’s Gulf Coast that makes the area so appealing to northern snowbirds. It could be the fact that the region experiences average winter temps of approximately 26°C (78°F), providing a perfect climate to enjoy outdoor recreation or it may be the slower pace of living in a friendly and social environment.
Upscale RV resorts and property developers take into consideration every aspect to enhance a winter retreat for snowbirds. They are often located near dining options, nightly entertainment, shopping plazas, and essential services, while still providing comfortable grounds with a number of amenities and on-site activities.
With many popular destinations throughout the Gulf Coast, Palmetto, FL, is the newest location for Zeman Signature RV Resorts’ to expand its network of properties. A designated 55-plus retreat for snowbirds, The Surf RV Resort is scheduled to open this fall due to overwhelming demand and is currently accepting reservations for the 2022/2023 winter season. Sites are currently still available for all lengths of stay.
In simple terms, this first-class resort caters to RVers who prefer a relaxed, unpretentious environment with practical upscale services and a variety of amenities to accommodate their lifestyle.

Relax and recharge all day, every day at The Surf.
“The Surf is an easily accessible resort destination for Canadian snowbirds looking for a relaxing RV retreat on the Gulf Coast,” said Lisa Migliore, general manager of The Surf. “It has the benefits of being close to popular Florida attractions and areas including Orlando and the Disney Resorts, Tampa, St. Petersburg, as well as sporting events, concerts, golfing, dining and the best beaches on the Gulf Coast.”
But there are many appealing aspects of The Surf throughout its expansive grounds as well. Visitors are privy to oversized paved RV sites with full-hook-ups from where they can access an outdoor kitchen, Infinity pool and spa, poolside bar, and even a dog park and dog wash station (there’s even a laundry machine designated for pets). Lighted sports courts plus an upscale clubhouse that houses an exercise room, dance studio, games room, library, and a business centre with high-speed internet are other niceties.
In the event RVers want to try some of the local southern cuisine or seafood, Palmetto has several nearby dining options or they can take advantage of the Surf’s exclusive food and beverage service, providing easy, quick meals for added convenience.
Socializing at the Surf is also encouraged. Singles or couples can enjoy several events and activities all year including fitness classes, game nights, live music and even holiday-themed parties and socials.
“When a guest arrives and realizes that through proper planning and detailed execution of The Surf, they’ll understand that our team has taken into account their expectations and made them a reality. That’s our key goal at The Surf,” says Migliore.
