site/port or purchasing a site or home with RV parking. The Great Outdoors is unique in so many ways,
but mainly we attribute it to the people who have made
TGO their destination resort. It’s hard to imagine that
you could find friendlier or more caring people than
those who live at TGO.
Our residents have a very special relationship with the
diverse collection of wildlife that coexists in perfect
harmony with their human counterparts. Our residents
are actively involved in the resort operations. Our
residents are mostly empty nesters who want to know
that their home is being looked after while they are
traveling around the country. Our residents love to
walk our nature trail, visit our on-site restaurant,
exercise their pet at the dog-play area, play golf, swim,
play tennis, exercise or just simply relax and enjoy the
near perfect weather Central Florida has to offer.
Here are some of the most important facts you need to
remember about our resort:
Birding & Nature

SLOPE
ker
Probably the most exciting event to happen here at TGO
is the recent overwhelming vote by the owners to purchase
the golf course and restaurant/lounge. The course is an
18-hole par-71 championship course, designed by Ron
Garl, and was planned around the natural contour of the
land and offers plenty of water hazards and sand bunkers –
a challenge to all levels of golfers. USGA gives the course a
71.9 rating, with a USGA slope of 121 on Bermuda grass.

But that’s not all – we offer a unique “Aqua Range”, putting
greens and chipping area where you can sharpen your skills
or practice your swing! Stop by our fully outfitted Pro Shop

Throughout the resort you just might notice the “Love It
Here” stickers on golf carts and cars. It’s no secret that our
owners are our best public relations asset as they love to
share with other RV’ers what a great place TGO is! Some
of our residents have shared their stories below:
For John and Vicky Ferrari, it started in 2009 with a visit from Virginia
to look at a pad for their motorhome. They wanted to have a place to be
nearer John’s aging mother, and before that first visit was over, they had
contracted to build their first home in Hidden Lakes. Five years later,
John and Vicky have sold their house in Virginia,
are in their second custom-built home, and call
TGO home. As FMCA National Secretary from
2011 until 2015 and an attorney for Dell, TGO
provides Vicky with a great location to start both
motorhome and work trips, with good proximity
to Orlando International Airport. John, retired
after 42 years working for Ross Perot in the IT
industry, loves the maintenance-free lifestyle. And, their 6 children and
6 grandchildren have gotten over the loss of the Virginia lake house
because John and Vicky are always ready for a trip to Disney World and
a stay at Fort Wilderness, less than an hour away.
Liz and Butch Jones decided to leave the cold Virginia winters behind
and began searching throughout Florida for
the perfect spot. Upon their arrival at TGO,
they were very impressed with the resort and
began to explore the resort’s properties for
sale. In less than a week they settled on a port
with an Executive Suite and enjoyed the next
three years of warmer winters! It became
evident to both Liz and Butch that TGO was
where they wanted to settle down, and the
decision was made to look for a home and
turned to TGO Realty for help. One of their
specific needs was a big garage for Butch and
his “toys”, and with the help of TGO Realty,
we found just what we were looking for! No more cold winters for us – we
love it here, especially the winters!
Full time RV’rs since 2006, Tom and Pat Walker recently relocated
their home base from Sandbridge, VA. to TGO.
They really liked what the Community had
to offer: the home style choices; golf course;
restaurants; church, and all the active lifestyle
programs available year round. “We had come
to enjoy all of these amenities over the last 10
years, and found we stayed longer each time we
visited. We have made lasting friendships in
this gated community. It is different from any
place we have discovered in our travels. We also know when we decide
to settle down, we will have so many lifestyle choices to make and still
stay in TGO!” We Love it Here!
For Hidden Lakes homeowners Jim and Gayle Ann Noltner, TGO
has become a family affair. The Noltners first bought an RV site in 2004
after Gayle Ann’s dad purchased a site in the early days of 1998 and her
brothers bought an RV site in 2002. It wasn’t long before older brother
Robert discovered TGO, having taken advantage of the Hartung Brothers/
Noltner family compound of adjoining RV sites on Oak Cove Road. As
Jim is an integral part of the family business, Hartung Brothers, Inc. based
6 • The Great Outdoors
out of Madison, WI, and knowing the family’s motto
passed down from his father-in-law, “Hard work will
always pay off ”, they valued their time away from
work and appreciated all TGO had to offer. Hartung
Brothers, Inc. is involved in just about every aspect of
the agriculture business from farming to processing
in Texas, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Illinois and Canada. And Jim commented Gayle Ann
comes from a large family with 8 siblings total, and there is ample room
here at TGO for them all! “I love the fact that I can bring all my toys here
to play, especially during bike week when I can get together with family
and friends and ride up to Daytona” Just another reason we “Love It
Here”!
Our motto has been, “Not all who wander are lost” and has proven us
well for over 40 years.” For John Hendricks and Gregg Querry, selling
their business in Indiana provided them the resources and time to live
this motto by testing the waters in California, Pacific Northwest, Michigan
and South Florida. While in Michigan we met some TGO residents who
encouraged us to look at TGO. We visited last July, purchased a port with
an Executive Suite, and 7 months later we decided
to call TGO home! We just recently traded port
living for RV resort home living to accommodate
our most trusted ally in this, our bus!
Community is what drew us here, and will be what
keeps us here. Smiles, waves and hello’s along with
laughter are always seen and heard. Your neighbors
become your friends, while your other neighbors, the wild life, become
your enjoyment.
Thanks to TGO Realty for their dedication to preserving our way of life
with constant attention and donations to our community. We salute
them! We can now add another motto to ours, “We Love It Here”!
Melvyn and Ruth Drexler happened upon TGO while traveling back
from visiting their granddaughter, a student at Florida Tech in Melbourne.
Although their winter RV’ing had been in St. Augustine, they wanted to
be a little further south, both for the warmer climate and proximity
to F.I.T. “We decided to stop and take a look at this place called The Great
Outdoors and couldn’t believe what we were seeing!” said Melvyn. After
an informational tour of the resort, they inquired about renting a site for
the next winter and couldn’t wait to tell their RV’ing
friends back in St. Augustine about TGO. Today,
both the Drexlers and their good friends call TGO
their winter home after TGO Realty found both
couples “just the right place” to purchase. Melvyn
states, “The people who have been here all say the
same thing – WE LOVE IT HERE! – and we agree”!
In fact, Melvyn and Ruth extend an invitation to
all to stop by and see them. They will be happy to tell you why they also
Love It Here!
Stay a night or a lifetime!

RV Sites (Rental & Sales)
verview
The
Great
Outdoors
Products
All sites have level concrete pads with underground
utilities. Rental site hookups include water, 30/50
amp service, cable TV* (see side bar) and sewer.
Standard sites are generally 40’x80’ and can be for
private use or added to the rental pool. Owners
have the option of adding a screen room, storage
shed, or an air-conditioned Executive Suite (see our
article on page 8) that boasts a combined living/
dining area, full kitchen, bathroom, plus laundry & storage. Sites were designed to back up
to nature, golf course, or lake views. (Note: Executive Suites are not included in site rental.)
RV Ports (Rental & Sales)
RV port sites include a custom-built shelter for your
RV on a concrete pad with underground utilities
and include electricity, cable TV* (see note above),
telephone and sewer. Most ports also have screened
rooms or Executive Suite and offer your RV protection from the elements. This allows you to use your
site during inclement or harsh weather conditions.
As with RV Sites, the RV Port can be placed into the
rental pool when owners are not using them.
*Due to nationwide conversion of
all cable providers from analog to
digital, reception may be limited to
local channels. If you do not have
a digital converter, cable card or
adapter, our local Bright House
cable provider may have equipment
available for you.
(Note: Executive Suites are not included in site rental.)

A
Park homes are another lifestyle available at The Great
Outdoors. Besides the park home itself, many have
site-built additions which may provide expanded living
space, large porches, or extended RV parking complete
with full hookups. Most park homes come completely
furnished in a “ready to move into” condition. Similar
in style to a “mobile” or “modular” home, park homes
are an affordable answer to resort living.
Resort Homes
Site-built custom resort homes include
an attached RV port or garage with full
hookups. Many also include covered
or enclosed car and golf cart parking.
A wide variety of floor plans offer 2 or
more bedrooms, many with cathedral
ceilings and lofts. These homes offer
you the lifestyle of resort home living
with the added bonus of having your RV parked under cover right outside your door.
nnouncing Our Last Phase of Development
Addison Preserve by Vintage Homes was recently unveiled with completion
of construction on the model home expected in the Fall of 2015. These 30
new 3 Bedroom/2 bath 3 car garage resort homes will feature concrete block
construction starting just under $300,000, which includes a standard size lot!
FHA, VA and Conventional financing will be available in this section of the
resort only! The Homeowners Association rules and regulations will allow
for motorcycles, but no RV garages! Addison Preserve fills that need for many
RV’ers who have opted out of the RV lifestyle, or for close friends or relatives of
active RV’ers who want to live in our community and take advantage of our low
maintenance fees, gated community and amazing amenities!

RV Living Featuring the
E
xecutive suite
Many of our RV site and RV port owners found themselves enjoying The
Great Outdoors so much, they were spending more and more time here.
Because it is difficult to entertain any number of friends – or if the weather
had them going stir crazy inside their RV – the need for additional “living
space” outside the RV became a great solution to an age-old problem.
What started out as a simple screened room or gazebo has now become
state-of-the-art efficiency apartments. Owners can now have full kitchens,
full bathrooms, living/dining areas, plus laundry facilities – and may even
add on a large screened room. If
company drops in, many of these suites
can accommodate them with sofa beds,
futons, or airbeds. Plus the guests have
their own private suite while you sleep
comfortably in your RV!
E
Because of the resort’s rules and regulations, you must have an RV on site if you
utilize your Executive Suite. This was
meant to prevent the use of these buildings as an efficiency apartment, as RV
sites were not designed for full-time occupancy without an RV on site.

24-Hour Gated Community
The Great Outdoors is proud of its state-of-the art automated
visitor management system. Residents now install a barcode on
their vehicles which allows them to bypass the visitor’s lane and have
instant access
to the comCourtesy Patrol
munity. The
barcode system
is maintained
by the CSA
(Community
Services
Association)
and permits
them to activate/deactivate barcodes as needed and allows them to verify who
enters the resident’s gate. CSA offers a voice and email automated
system for residents to call in infrequent visitors who have not been
put on their permanent guest (usually family members) list.
CSA also provides Courtesy Patrol officers who assist in making
sure all vehicular traffic is confined to the designated area – nonowners are not allowed to ride through the resort without being
M
accompanied by an owner or is being escorted by a member of The
Welcome Center staff. Courtesy Patrol officers are capable of enforcing speed limits throughout the park through radar and electronic
signage, but also to aid and assist registered guests and renters
with information regarding the resort’s amenities and rules and
regulations.
ass Notification System
Along with the front gate system, CSA offers a Mass Notification
System which can alert residents, employees and businesses of critical
events and useful information. It can distribute voice and text
messages by phone, SMS, email and fax. This system facilitates
immediate notice of such events as hurricane updates, fire threats,
criminal activity, water main breaks, and can also convey information
regarding association meetings, closures of amenities, policy changes
and community events.

Our rental program has been operating successfully for
over 20 years. Many owners of RV sites do not continuously occupy their site year round. During such periods
of owner vacancy, the RV and Port sites can be put in the
rental pool. Our rental pool is unique because all owners
who have their sites in the pool share in the daily proceeds. Whether their site is rented or not, everybody gets
a piece of the action!
*If renting your RV site outside of the rental pool, you
must first register your rental unit for collecting sales tax
(Form DR-1), and then remit the 11 percent (6% state,
5% county) tax EACH MONTH. Penalty is 10% per
month for late payments. Failure to register is a misdemeanor in the first degree, plus 100% penalty fee for
the taxes due and late charges.

Let us help you with the perfect
combination of Design & Comfort
Donnetta & Linda, Owners
HOME DÉCOR
& FINE FURNITURE
Have you heard the girls at
Accents Furniture are at it again…
Accents is now offering quality consignment furniture
and home decor at affordable prices. If you are
looking to purchase something new or find that unique
consignment piece…come see Linda and Donnetta.
Those seeking design services can schedule a onehour, in-home consultation with Donnetta for $75. She
will find out what you like about your home, what you
want to change, and your budget. Then you will visit
the store to look at items Donnetta has in mind. An
estimate is determined for approval. With a deposit for
furnishings plus an additional hourly fee from $100 to
$125 for decoration services, Donnetta and her team will
refurnish and redecorate your home. Then comes
the big reveal.
2712 N. Hwy. 1, Cocoa
(just south of 528)
“When we are finished decorating, the client goes
around and says, ‘I love that picture. I love that lamp,’
or maybe ‘I’m not crazy about those vases.’ So those go
back on the truck,” Donnetta explained. “If they don’t
like it, they don’t have to keep it. There’s no hassle. They’re
not obligated to keep anything as long as it’s the same day.
Despite the strict same-day return policy, few
customers have a hard time making a decision about
what to keep. Normally, they love it all. “I have a 95%
success rate,’ the decorator said.
Visit the showroom for a full line of upholstery, leather,
bedrooms, dining rooms, art work, florals, & home decor
in a friendly easy going atmosphere. Showroom changes
weekly as customers may purchase floor pieces for same
day delivery or special order from catalogs.

TGO’s Many Lakes
What do 4,000 bluegill and catfish, and
14 resident volunteers have in common?
They all took part in the recent stocking
of the lakes here at TGO. While we are
strictly a “catch & release” program, we
make sure our lakes are stocked and ready
for some fishing fun! To protect our lakes
and inhabitants, we have implemented the
following rules:
TGO Fishing rules
Only plastic worms with imbedded
hooks allowed. Double or treble
hooks prohibited in Lake Judy or
Bass Lake.
1.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.
2.
Fishing hours are from dawn until 10:00 PM.
8.Fishing is allowed only on the CSA side of the
ponds. No fishing on golf course.
3.Live bait (with the exception of worms) is prohibited. Use only imbedded hooks in plastic worms
– no double or treble hooks allowed in Lake Judy
or Bass Lake.
9.Feeding the alligators is subject to fines up to
$1,000 or 1 yr. in jail as per state laws S.775.082
and S.775.083.
4.
11.Help keep our lakes clean. Do not leave cans,
bottles, plastic bags, discarded fishing line, or
other trash in or around the lakes. Please pick up
any litter that others may have left!
All fish are “catch and release”.
5.All fish should be retrieved and released quickly.
6.Please consider using barb free hooks to prevent
internal injury to the fish. Only plastic worms
with imbedded hooks allowed. Double or treble
hooks prohibited in Lake Judy or Bass Lake.
7.The fish in our lakes are extraordinary and
should be handled gently – LESS IS BEST.
10. No seine or throw nets allowed.
12. State fishing license not required.
13.For further information and helpful fishing tips,
please contact the CSA office.
Titusville – A City of Change
Titusville was recently ranked the #13 Best
Town In Florida To Live by Niche, having scored
highest in “Things To Do, Easiest Commute,
Education, Health & Fitness and Weather”
grades. The City of Titusville has been enjoying a renaissance lately with the old Miracle
City Mall being transformed into a major new
Town Center open air mall, the opening of a
new Publix grocery store on S.R. 50 just a very
short distance from our resort, Food Truck
Fairs once a month in downtown Titusville,
and addition of a Farmers Market also in downtown Titusville. The space industry continues
to expand in our community even with the
governments shuttle program closure. Area
restaurants, housing and community events are
realizing a great increase in traffic.
Another major award is USA Today’s naming Playlinda Beach at the Canaveral National
Seashore as #4 on its list of Best Beaches in
Florida. The Canaveral Seashore offers miles of
natural, pristine beaches where the parking and
beach access contributes to its high ranking – a
beach where you will not find any tourist shops,
restaurants or surf shops, just sand and sea!

H
ow did you
spend last winter?
If
any of these photos are a shocking
reminder to you that you swore
you would never spend another winter
up north, now is the time to consider
owning your own piece of paradise in
Florida. RV site prices are at an all-time
low, but are just now showing signs of a
steady increase. Spend those harsh winter months in the comfort of your very
own RV at The Great Outdoors where
you can enjoy golf, tennis, swimming,
pickle ball, or any of our many planned
activities. Imagine not having to shovel
the driveway to get to your car to run
to the grocery store, or have to shovel
the snow off your roof? And remember, when not using your site, it can be
put in our rental pool to give you some
income to offset any expenses.
TGO Winter
Your Winter?
Lots of our owners decided they
were tired of not being able to use
their RV year round and opted to sell
the home up north and move into an
RV Resort Home here at TGO.
And with the assortment of homes
available here, there is so much to
choose from.
So
stop and ask yourself, “Do I Really Want
To Spend Another Winter Like I Did Last
Year?” The answer is simple…
Enjoy your RV
year round at
The Great Outdoors!

One of the most popular hobbies among TGO residents is birding. The resort is located on the Eastern
Continental Flyway, a major bird migration corridor
where more than 330 species have been viewed,
including the beautiful and rare colored bunting.
Brevard County is also home to the Annual Space
Coast Birding & Wildlife Festival.

TGO also offers miles of nature trails, some of
which can be accessed by golf carts or bicycles.
Unfortunately, we do not allow pets on our nature
trails because of the wildlife. The Nature Center offers
more information on the different trails accessible
here for your enjoyment. So be sure to make plans to
stop by our Nature Center and take advantage all it
has to offer!

Nature was such a big part of The Great Outdoors
we had to make it part of our official resort title! The
TGO Nature Center is a Florida not for profit corporation, whose main purpose is to educate residents
and guests about the resort’s flora and fauna. The
TGO Nature Center houses a wonderful exhibition of
the nature that surrounds TGO, as well as a library
dedicated to articles about the plants, birds, reptiles,
mammal and fish that also call TGO home, and is complete with meeting rooms and a kitchen. Residents
and guests can relax, read a book, or bring a picnic
lunch to eat in the large screened porch alongside
the Addison Canal.

See What’s New
in the World of RVing Lakeland dealer offers large selection, low prices
If you have been thinking of replacing your old RV, or buying your first, this is a good time to take the plunge. After several
years of industry consolidation owing to the recession, a revitalized field of manufacturers are rolling out innovative new
models at attractive prices, and customers are returing to dealer’s
showrooms.
Whether you are a seasoned RVer or just starting out, there is
no better place to see what’s new than R.V. World of Lakeland.
R.V. World of Lakeland stocks more that 175 new and used
RVs, from the largest Class A luxury motorhomes to the most
economical van campers and travel trailers. You will find just
what you are looking for, in your price range, at R.V. World’s
full-service facility at 940 Lakeland Park Center Drive (formerly
Crevasse Street) just north of downtown Lakeland.
If you are in the market to purchase a new or used recreational
vehicle, or looking for parts, accessories or repairs for an RV you
already own, R.V. World of Lakeland is the only name you need
to remember. What distinguishes R.V. Work of Lakeland? It can be
summed up in three words: selection, service, and satisfaction.
SELECTION
R.V. World of Lakeland carries all types of recreational
vehicles. If you are looking for a full-size Class A or Class
C motorhome, you can select among models from Holiday
Rambler, Coachmen and Forest River. Class A motorhomes are
available up to 40 feet in length and Class Cs up to 32 feet. If you
are looking for something smaller, R.V. World has you covered
there, too, because it is one of the nation’s leading dealers of
small RVs. Class B van campers are available from Roadtrek,
Leisure Travel and Great West. Roomier, Class “B+” units are
available from Dynamax, Coach House, Coachmen, Forest River,
Leisure Travel, Holiday Rambler and Triple E. And there are travel
trailers, fifth wheels, park models and toy haulers from Forest
River, Coachmen, Riverside RV and Livin Lite.
SERVICE
At R.V. World of Lakeland, service starts before the sale, with
courteous salespeople who will take the time to get to know you
and your purchasing needs. It continues through the entire buying experience, with honest negotiations and no surprises. And
after the sale, R.V. World of Lakeland stands behind its products with skilled technicians who can keep your RV in tip-top
condition.
SATISFACTION
R.V. World promises it will not be undersold. “No-hassle”
prices are clearly posted on each new vehicle. And if you bring a
signed, valid order from another dealer, R.V. World of Lakeland
will meet or beat that price on an identical in-stock motorhome.
R.V. World offers top dollar for your trade-in – and it doesn’t
even need to be an RV. If it rolls, floats or flies, they will consider
it for a trade. R.V. World of Lakeland also takes consignments. If
you have a good, clean late-model motorhome that you would
like to sell, call and ask for Mark A. Santangelo, who can “turn
your RV into $$$.” Finally, R.V. World has an on-site financing
department, so they can have you driving off the lot today in a
new motorhome. And remember, low interest rates mean you
can afford more recreational vehicle!
To reach R.V. World of Lakeland, use exit 32 from Interstate
4, go north one-quarter mile on U.S. 98, and turn right on to
Lakeland Park Center Drive. The phone number is (863) 8539177 or call toll-free 1-877-663-7506.
