RV Holiday Camping In Florida
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.
When you come to Florida, whatever outdoor activity you wish to participate in, the suggestions for places to stay are only based on how much of a good thing you wish for you and your family. There is fishing, world class golf, boating on either the Atlantic Ocean or in the Florida Gulf. You will find some of the best snorkeling in the world, 6 of the top 20 beaches in the country and depending on your location, some of the best sunsets that you will ever experience.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection manages over 150 destinations and offer some of the best locations for you do all of your outdoor activities. Listed below are just a few:
A. The Florida Keys are only 90 miles from Cuba. This most southern tip of the United States has some of the best views available anywhere. Located just 12 miles from Marathon, FL, you will find Bahia Honda. This resort gives you access to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Florida Gulf. Fishing and boating are outstanding, as is the snorkeling throughout the Keys. Pets are welcome, but the spots sell out early, so book as soon as you know where you are headed.
B. Curry Hammock Park is also in the Keys, and is pretty much always sold out from October to April. A waiting list exists and although few, there are cancellations, so again book early. Here you will be basically beaching it. White sandy beaches and cookout grills on the beach make this a great spot if you are inclined to just sit there and bake yourself in a deep dark tan. Here you will also see some plant life and animals that are only common to this region, so have your camera ready.
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. About 50 miles west of Jacksonville, off of the water, you will find a true gem of a location. The Gold Head Branch Resort is situated on Little Lake Johnson. Here you will find Bald Eagles, Fox squirrels, the occasional Fox and more animals indigenous to Florida. If you like to golf, there are over 30 courses within a hour of this location and should offer you a nice day trip to the links. If you can plan a late fall visit, you will see the wildflowers in bloom and it will be a delight and highlight of your trip.
These resorts are but a few of the many beautiful places to stay while in Florida with your RV. If you have some flexibility, spend a few days in different resorts to accommodate your many options for outdoor activities. Don’t forget your camera and plan on leaving this beautiful place in a better frame of mind than when you arrived.
