About us
Welcome to Raintree RV Resort, a 55+ community tucked beneath palm trees and warm Florida skies. Whether you're here for a season or settling into something a little more permanent, Raintree is the kind of place that feels familiar the moment you pull in.
Our mission
We exist to create a space where neighbors become lifelong friends, where mornings start with friendly waves, and where everyone feels welcome to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the simple moments that matter. Home isn't just a place - it's a feeling. And we take pride in offering that feeling to every guest who stays with us.
Our story
Raintree RV Resort is a family-owned and operated destination with a rich history and a personal touch. Founded in 1984 by Bill and Sandy Paddack, Raintree was built from the ground up with dedication, vision, and a passion for creating a welcoming community for RV enthusiasts.
Originally from Indiana, Bill and Sandy decided to trade cold winters for the sunny skies of Florida, turning their dream into reality by establishing Raintree. Before building the resort, Bill began his entrepreneurial journey with a trucking business alongside his brother, Jack, back in Indiana.
Today, Bill and Sandy continue to live at Raintree, offering hands-on management and friendly service to every guest. They operate the park with their son, Jim, and daughter, Jacque, ensuring that Raintree remains a family-driven venture where guests feel like part of the family too.
At Raintree RV Resort, you’re not just visiting an RV park—you’re joining a community built on warmth, hard work, and a commitment to exceptional experiences. We look forward to welcoming you!
What makes us different
You won't find perfection here - and we're proud of that. Think of us like a homemade meal: warm, comforting, and made with love. Maybe a chair squeaks or the shuffleboard court is busier than you expected, but you'll leave with a full heart, a few new friends, and memories you didn't know you needed. It's the tiny moments - the shared laughs, the borrowed sugar, the sunset chats - that truly fill this place with life.
