Alliance Hill 50 Plus RV Resort, Marianna, FL

Alliance Hill RV Resort is located in Marianna, FL 9 miles South of I10. There is some confusion as to the name as it is also listed as Alliance Hill 50 Plus RV Resort on their own webpage and by Yelp; nevertheless same great rv park. Returning home after 7 months on the road we stopped at Alliance Hill RV Resort as Highway 98 hugging the shoreline along Florida’s panhandle was closed.  Hurricane Michael had slammed the panhandle with 160 mph winds. Even North on I10 the devastation was visible as we approached Marianna, FL. Areas like Mexico Beach, Panama City, Port St. Joe, Blountstown and Marianna were especially hard hit. So we would have not found Alliance RV Resort since we usually travel Highway 98 East and West; what a great little rv park!
What a delightful surprise to find this relatively new rv park out in the backwater 58 miles west of Tallahassee, FL. This is not a resort, however it offers the basic amenities in a pastoral setting. But don’t misunderstand, there are things to do in this area; Blue Springs County Recreation Area & Park, Florida Caverns State Park, and Panhandle Pioneer Settlement  to name a few. The park had suffered from Michael’s winds knocking down and snapping large trees like matchsticks. However by the time we arrived November 5, 2018 the owner Glenn, a congenial fellow, had managed to clean up the debris and the resort was up and running.
This is a small rv park, very neat and clean and relatively new. The bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms are all very clean, neat and tidy. The clubhouse is well appointed with a pleasant in-ground pool behind it. At 45 feet with a tow vehicle we did not experience issues pulling into our site. I was apprehensive about the ground as the dirt and grass path to the cement pad was saturated from previous rains. However, the owner had taken care to prep the ground with good compacted gravel and at 27 tons we did not sink into the ground. Good FHU with stable 50 amp service, and the concrete pad is level and accommodated our 45 foot length. There is no cable tv at the sites, however there is cable tv in the clubhouse. WiFi is available in the clubhouse and not being available at the sites we consider a drawback as we deem this to be a requisite amenity. We used our phone as a hotspot to access the internet and stream movies. We did receive a number of local tv channels on our OTA (over-the-air tv antenna). Their website does include a reservation page however it is just a dated contact form to submit and we suggest calling.
This park demonstrates what thoughtful and proactive park owners can offer and we encourage this type of entrepreneurial spirit in the rv park industry. It need not be a resort, just basic amenities, well groomed grounds, clean facilities, clubhouse and a pool makes the stay enjoyable and relaxing. We would return again due to the level of service, amenities, and maintenance of this little gem of an rv park in Florida’s northern panhandle.
The Takeaway: a small well maintained and landscaped rv park, somewhat off the grid in a bucolic setting. The owner is an affable fellow and accommodating. The sites offer level concrete pads, FHU, and no cable tv. Cable tv and WiFi are accessible in the clubhouse. The park and buildings are only a few years old and provide clean, modern conveniences.We stayed here November 2018.
