Some Highlights Of RV Camping In Florida

With hotel costs skyrocketing and less money for vacationing, RV camping is becoming a huge choice. In Florida, where the sun shines and warmer temperatures abound, RV camping in Florida is a new hot trend. You have the convenience of over 150 locations offering you all of the choices to make this a great vacation.

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.

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. 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. With bookings coming in over a year in advance, Curry Hammock Park is a true favorite and a delight. However, from October to April spots are very limited so book early or get on the waiting list and hope for a cancellation. Beach activities define this beautiful spot. With grills on the beach, millions of shell to sort through and fine white sands, this is the place to just crash and relax. When you depart, your tan will be the talk of the town and your attitude will be the calmest it has been in years.

C. Up near Jacksonville, you will find one of the more famous parks, Gamble Rogers State Park. This resort is located in the middle of the Intercoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy this spot for some great snorkeling, boating, deep sea fishing and having a picnic on the beach. Take a late afternoon/early evening walk on the beach and watch as mother sea turtles lay and hide their eggs and do not forget to pick up some of millions of sea shells waiting as a reminder of your wonderful 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.

This is just a sampling of the many choices you have when you head to Florida in your RV. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection manages over 150 parks and each one will offer you a great location to do whatever you have chosen to do for your RV vacation. The many other locations are located all over the state, so chooses carefully and assure yourself and your family a wonderful time getting to know Florida, up close and personal.
