Enjoying Your Florida RV Camping Experience

The nickname Sunshine State was given to Florida for a reason. Even with hot, steamy Summers, there are twelve months of terrific RV camping in Florida. With over 150 RV parks and many more spots that on the beach, Florida offers folks that like to be in the outdoors many things to do.

Regardless of what you like to do on vacation, Florida has it. Golf, beaches, parks, museums, water parks, amusement parks, fishing and more, the area offers daily, weekly and monthly hook ups for the RV fan. In the northern part of the state, the weather is a bit more unpredictable during the Fall and Winter months, but with balmy temperatures pretty much everywhere else, you can not really go wrong with your choices.

Many people are unaware that Florida offers 6 of the top 20 beaches in America. So, if golf, fishing, sightseeing or just basking in the sun is your choice, these parks would likely work great for you and your family.

A. Just 12 miles from Marathon, Florida, in the Florida Keys, you will find Bahia Honda. With access to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Florida Gulf, boating, fishing, snorkeling will give you some great fun. They have over 80 hook up sites and pets are welcome. Be sure to take a walk on the beach late in the day, to see some of the most romantic sunsets you will ever see. But book early as these spaces are locked up by returning guests.

B. Also in the Florida Keys is another terrific spot named: Curry Hammock State Park. This location is always sold out during the Winter months, but you can get on a cancellation list to get you into this site. This resort gets over a large percentage of reoccurring visitors. They offer fishing, cookouts, grills, snorkeling and with a protected environment, you will see Flora and Fauna that is only common in Florida.

C. Gamble Rogers State Park is located in Flagler County, in the mid northern part of the state. This resort is situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Waterway. With the beach being the most important feature of this resort, all beach activities are happening all day, every day. During low tide, make it a point to walk the beach to catch sea turtles laying their eggs and collect some beautiful shells to remind you of your trip.

D. If you enjoy fresh water, then you might consider Gold Head Branch. Located between Jacksonville and Gainsville, this spot has been a favorite for years. This 2300 acre park is the home of Bald Eagles, Gopher Tortoises, Fox Squirrels, Foxes, Snakes and other Florida furry animals. The fall is a wonderful time to visit this resort as wildflowers are in full bloom and the park feels, looks and smells wonderful.
