Surviving the Recent Arctic Blast at Keystone Heights RV Resort

While Florida is known for its year-round sunshine, this year’s unprecedented arctic blast reminded us that even the Sunshine State experiences chilly surprises. Throughout January, the temperature dropped below 40 degrees on 21 out of 28 days, and seven days, it dipped below 30 degrees! What?!

A meme circulating on social media perfectly captured the sentiment: When you’ve gone south for the winter but so did winter. Despite the frigid conditions, Keystone Heights RV Resort ensured everyone stayed warm, safe, and comfortable throughout the cold snap.

Staying Cozy with On-Site Propane

Keeping warm was priority number one. Having propane readily available on-site at Keystone Heights RV Resort made it easy for guests to power their RV's heating systems without hassle. Whether topping off their tanks or using propane for cooking, this essential service ensured everyone stayed warm and comfortable no matter the temperature.

Groceries Delivered to Your Doorstep

Shopping in cold weather can be brutal, which is why Kroger’s online grocery delivery and Hitchcock’s local grocery delivery are welcome here at the resort. With just a few clicks, guests can order fresh produce, pantry staples, and even comfort food, which will be delivered right to their RV door. And when they want to go out to eat but won’t brave the elements, Domino’s Pizza also delivers. While these are great services anytime, they were invaluable during those rare frigid days.

Escaping Cabin Fever

Escaping cabin fever was key to enduring an arctic blast. Thankfully, Keystone Heights offers a variety of amenities and activities to keep guests entertained, warm, and active.

• The Fitness Center is equipped with cardio machines and weights, which provide the perfect escape from winter sluggishness.

• The Activity Center is a hub for friendly competition. Whether darts, 8-ball pool, or ping pong, guests find plenty of ways to have fun while staying out of the cold.

• The Community Center is the go-to spot for games. Card games are offered nearly every afternoon and evening: Pay Me, Pinochle, and Swoop are but a few of the favorites. Other games are offered, too, like Cribbage and Mahjong. And there is always a puzzle going in the back corner. It’s a wonderful place to meet new friends and share some laughs while staying warm indoors.

Staying Informed and Supported

Throughout the arctic blast, Keystone Heights RV Resort’s management went above the call of duty to keep residents updated on weather conditions. They provided helpful suggestions for staying warm and preventing frozen pipes. This proactive communication ensured everyone felt supported and prepared during the frigid weather.

A Community That Cared

While Florida’s winter surprise was an unwelcome guest, Keystone Heights RV Resort proved that unpleasant weather doesn’t have to ruin anyone’s plans. With on-site amenities, fun activities, and a supportive community, guests embraced the challenge to have fun despite outdoor conditions.

Of course, we are thrilled that the cold snap is now behind us, and we are ready to bask once again in that Florida sunshine beside the heated pool. Won't you join us?
