Planet fitness | Informal Campsite

Couple other vans in the parking lot. We parked right out in front amongst the other patrons. The tiki bar across the street had open mic night and it was noisy until midnight, but probably a cool place to grab a drink if you are so inclined. Otherwise, quiet night.

Several other rigs staying here and so we felt very comfortable. We parked off to the side to try and avoid unwanted noise and I think it worked for the most post. Not to bad and more of a sure thing than other places in Sarasota, which is a fun city to explore. Also right next to a Publix.

About 4 other campers in the planet fitness lot with me last night, the big lots parking lot next to it is huge and was completely empty of normal cars, and there were two vans over there. Really good shopping center about 100 feet away

I parked in a space over near big lots since planet fitness parking lot was pretty full and active. Stayed from about 630pm til 8am when I went into planet fitness to use the facilities and get on the road. Nice and quiet. Only signs I saw were no overnight tractor trailer parking and one no over night parking sign all the way behind big lots in the very back of the store past the dumpsters. I asked the lady at the register and she said it shouldn't be an issue since it is a public lot.

Last night I parked in the planet fitness in the back, no issues but there was road noise and lots of beeping from the cross walk. Tonight sleeping to the left side of big lots. I have seen school buses and multiple vans parked here. My van in a very bright color and is an obvious camper so no issues if you cannot stealth camp.

Sleeps here fine. we ask the front desk for staying the night and no problem with them. A lot of road noise and a lots of people walks by the parking lot all night long… some were a bit weird. Left early in the morning to eat somewhere

It closes early but I'll give it a go! I am a member and will be using this facility in the a.m.

Planet fitness, stayed here in a 22ft RV. Would be harder in anything much larger, the parking lot isn't huge. A lot of road noises, but one other vandweller took advantage by using their generator at night. Near a publix and other shops.
