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. On Florida’s Atlantic coast, you will have great fishing, boating, snorkeling, world class golf, romantic sunsets and more.

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. Bahia Honda is regarded as one of the best beach areas in the state. It is located in the Florida Keys so visitors benefit from both the Atlantic Ocean and the Florida Gulf. With over 80 sites, this resort offers, snorkeling, fishing, boating, picnics on the beach and some of the best sunsets in the country. Just 12 miles south of Marathon, FL, this most southern campsite is a favorite among visitors.

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. 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.

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.
