If you’re in the process of getting your spring and summer itineraries on the books, check out these RV- friendly destinations in Florida.

St. Augustine – As the oldest city in Florida and in the country, St. Augustine offers a host of incredible activities for RVers who want to explore things like history, Spanish colonial architecture, and gorgeous beaches. Be sure to check out St. Augustine Beach, Crescent Beach, Anastasia State Park’s wildlife preserve, and the historical Castillo de San Marcos 17th century fortress.

Florida Caverns State Park – For a truly unique experience and immersion in natural history, take your rig and explore Florida Caverns State Park in the Florida Panhandle near Marianna. Cave tours feature limestone stalactites, stalagmites, and other natural wonders. Nearby Chipola River and Blue Hole spring offer great fishing and boating. RVs are welcome in the park, but camping sites fill up fast so reserve early.

Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort – Whether you’re taking an RV trip with the entire family or it’s just you and a spouse, Orlando offers fun for all ages. A great place to camp is the Fort Wilderness Resort where you can take advantage of resort-style activities while still enjoying the great outdoors. Full hook-up campsites are available, as well as tent or pop-up campsites. Enjoy 750 acres of wildlife, pine forests, beautiful trails, pony rides, pools, fireworks, and boat rentals. This isn’t exactly dry camping, but there’s nothing wrong with a little luxury in the wild.

The Florida Keys – No RV trek through Florida would be complete without visiting the string of incredible tropical islands known as the Florida Keys. These islands stretch more than 100 miles off the coast and offer some prime camping spots for RV enthusiasts. Access the inhabited islands via the Overseas Highway and make your first stop Bahia Honda State Park at mile 37 along US-1.
