A 534-space mobile home park in Sarasota, FL. It sits in FEMA flood zone AE, a special flood hazard area — worth factoring into insurance and financing. County records put it on 119.2 acres, built in 1981.
Grocery, pharmacy, and clinic access here is middling — not next door, not a long haul, about 1 mile. 534 spaces make this a mid-sized mobile home park as these things go, though the registry doesn't report current vacancies. Working from home is realistic nearby — roughly 100% of homes report broadband at 100/20 Mbps or better, gigabit reaching a real share of homes.

Distances are straight-line, so the drive is longer. Internet and neighborhood figures describe the surrounding town — and the rent benchmark, wildfire rank, and tornado count the wider county — not this park’s own lots. The fair market rent is apartment-style rent (HUD’s area benchmark), not this park’s lot rent. Rent limits are not legal advice.
Worth knowing
This park runs its own regulated public water system (EPA id FL6584439), drawing from its own groundwater well. The system reports serving about 1,700 residents through 988 service connections.
Sarasota is a small Florida city, home to about 58,000 people. 27 other registered parks lie within about 10 miles.
For residents
- Water billing: if your park submeters water, Florida bills it at the cost of service with the combined service charge capped at 9% (§367.022(9)) — there's no markup on the water itself. Check the math free with the water submeter calculator, or read the Florida water-billing guide.
- Paying rent: ask the park office how they take payment. Parks that run on Lot Sidekick hand residents clear, itemized rent and water bills.

5700 Camelot Lakes Parkway, Sarasota, Florida 34233, in Sarasota County.
How much is lot rent at Camelot Lakes?
Camelot Lakes doesn't publish its lot rent anywhere we could find, and we won't guess at a figure. Call the park office to ask. For scale: HUD's FY 2026 fair market rent for a 2-bedroom rental around Sarasota County is $1,958/mo — that's apartment-style rent for the area, and lot rent (the ground under a home you own) usually runs well below it. If you run this park, you can add your real lot rent to this page for free.
How much can lot rent go up at Camelot Lakes?
Florida has no statewide cap on lot rent, but Chapter 723 requires 90 days' written notice (Statute §723.037), and an increase justified by comparable parks must be disclosed — residents can request mediation.
Where does the water at Camelot Lakes come from?
Camelot Lakes operates its own public water system, registered with the EPA as FL6584439. That means the park — not a city utility — supplies and is accountable for the water at each lot. You can look up its monitoring and compliance record by that id in the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System.
