RV Parks Florida: 17+ That You Should Totally Visit

NO RV? NO PROBLEM

First thing’s first — you need an RV! If you’re dreaming of enjoying the beach from the comforts of your own RV…but you don’t own one…don’t fret. RV rental is now easier than ever.

You can rent an RV from Atlanta (or wherever you call home) and drive it to one of these locations like we did. Or, better yet — rent from an owner who will deliver it to your RV resort. It’s a great way to road-school or work remotely, while still enjoying the Sunshine State.

For example, this gorgeous Class A sleeps 7 and includes tons of upgrades including a huge shower, bunks with TVs, a separate master, RO water filtration system, full size fridge and freezer, washer and dryer, and more.

TORREYA STATE PARK

High bluffs overlook the Apalachicola River at Torreya State Park, and that’s just one of the things that make this Florida state park so beautiful.

Carrabelle Beach RV Resort is one of those places that truly has something for everyone – couples, kids, and even dogs will have a blast here!

Located across the Apalachicola Bay from St. George Island, and just steps away from the beach, Carrabelle Beach RV Resort offers modern RV sites on concrete pads.  The sites feature full hook-ups, water, electric, Wi-Fi, cable, and a picnic table.

Family and friends without an RV can join you here too!  The resort also offers resort cottages, cozy cabins, and stilted cottages and bungalows for rent here.

HIGH BLUFF CAMPGROUND

Located in Lake Talquin State Forest – this is one campground that will really help you escape from it all!

Just 20 minutes west of Tallahassee, High Bluff Campground doesn’t have electric or water hook-ups – which make it the perfect campground for boondocking!

You’ll find this campground located on the northern side of Lake Talquin, where you can enjoy canoeing, boating, fishing, and kayaking.  You’ll find a fishing pier, boat ramp, and restrooms on site.

Within the state forest there are hiking trails, biking trails, and equestrian trails too!

VORTEX SPRING

Vortex Spring is known as one of the best and largest diving resorts in the United States, and now you can take your RV and stay there!

Vortex Spring is the place to be for swimming and diving enthusiasts alike. They’ve got a massive diving facility, 10 slides, a spring, and nature trails.

The best part? They’ve got 40 water and electric spots right behind their dive shop, so after a day of diving you won’t have to go far to relax!  Each site has a picnic table and grill. And although they don’t have full hook-ups, they do have a dump station on site.

Camping with a side of learning to scuba dive?  Sounds perfect!

FLORIDA CAVERNS STATE PARK

Just over the Georgia border you will find a place where you will absolutely want to park your RV – Florida Caverns State Park!

This state park features extraordinary caves that you can explore.  Take in the beauty of all the stalactites and stalagmites in the large, underground rooms!

Once you see how amazing the caves are, you’re going to want to stay onsite. Enter: the campgrounds!  The park offers 35 campsites with electric and water hook-ups for RV camping, so you can explore to your heart’s content.

In addition to cave tours, there are trails to explore near the campground that follow the Chipola River.  There’s also a museum, a playground, kayaking, equestrian trails, and boating here.  You’ll never run out of things to do!

DR. JULIAN G. BRUCE ST. GEORGE ISLAND STATE PARK

Want to stay at a state park that’s just full of beautiful Gulf Coast beaches?  Then Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park is for you!

This 1,962-acre barrier island state park offers 60 campsites with electric and water hook-ups, and a dump station nearby.  The campsites are just a quarter mile from the beach and the Gulf – so you’ll be able to easily access all the sunset views you can handle!

Within the state park, in addition to the beach, you can also find fishing, hiking trails, boating, and birding.  And because this state park features miles of undeveloped beaches, you can experience some of the best stargazing around!

GRAYTON BEACH STATE PARK

Grayton Beach State Park has one of the most beautiful beaches, as the sand is as soft and white as snow. This campground has a mix of premium RV sites, tent sites, and even a couple of teepees.

The premium sites include full hookups and either a cement or gravel pad. The tent sites offer water and electric and are located in a more rustic part of the park. All sites include a fire ring for some marshmallow roasting over a campfire.

About a 10 minute walk from the campground you can get to the beach. Being a state park, there isn’t as much of a crowd as at other resort beaches — plus, the sunset is amazing.

Also from Grayton Beach, just a short bike ride away is the town of Seaside, where The Truman Show was filmed. This quaint little town has a really cool row of Airstream trailers that are outfitted as food trucks. It’s definitely worth a stop.

No RV? Don’t let this stop you from exploring these great options! We love Outdoorsy for RV rental…click here to check out our rental story and the best options from Atlanta.

THOUSAND TRAILS ORLANDO

Heading now to central Florida, Orlando is home to some of the best theme parks in the world, but it also has some great RV parks too.

Thousand Trails Orlando is one of the most family-friendly parks we have been to. This is a popular destination for families who travel full-time in their RVs because it is part of the Thousand Trails network.

This RV park is about 20 minutes from Disney World, so it’s also a great place to stay without paying the big Disney prices.

With amenities like a swimming pool, hot tub, playground, tennis and pickle ball courts, mini golf, and a lake to fish in, you’ll always have something to do at Thousand Trails Orlando.

DISNEY’S FORT WILDERNESS

While staying at a less expensive RV park is a thrifty way to save money, staying on Disney property is a whole different experience. If Magic Kingdom is the happiest place on Earth, then Fort Wilderness must be the happiest campground on Earth.

While they do pack the campsites in pretty tight, big rigs are still welcome here, as they accommodate up to 45′ rigs.

Enjoy their pool with corkscrew waterslide, or check out some of the resort’s planned activities for the whole family. They also have unique experiences like horseback riding, canoeing, and archery. In the wintertime, enjoy a sleigh ride.

Make sure you reserve a golf cart here too — this resort is so big, that a golf cart will not only make getting around easier, but will also up the fun factor!

A Disney visit wouldn’t be complete without a character experience and  Fort Wilderness is no exception. They have Campfires with Chip and Dale as well as In-Room celebrations with the characters.

There are several dining options located in the campground, which are all Disney-themed and build upon the magic of the place.

Getting to the theme parks is very convenient from Fort Wilderness as they offer the water ferry to Magic Kingdom.

HIGHLANDS HAMMOCK STATE PARK

If you’re looking to get off the beaten path in the Sunshine State, plan a trip to Highlands Hammock State Park.

Highlands Hammock offers 118 camping sites that work for both tents or RVs.  They have electric and water hookups, and there are both pull-through and back-in sites available.

At Highlands Hammock, you’ll hike through swamps on a wood plank path. You’ll see a ton of wildlife, maybe even some alligators. This park is very rustic, but the hiking trails make it worth a stop.

At Highlands Hammock, you can visit a small museum in the park that tells the story about how and why the park was built. It was part of the Civilian Conservation Corps back in the 1930’s to put Americans back to work after the Great Depression.

JOHN PENNEKAMP CORAL REEF STATE PARK

If you’re on the southern end of the state, a trip down to the Florida Keys is a must. There are a ton of options of RV resorts and campgrounds in the Keys, but the state parks are your best bet when it comes to the cost.  Plus, the Keys are home to some of the best state parks in the country!

The first campground you’ll come across in the Keys is John Pennekamp State Park. John Pennekamp is located in Key Largo. This campground has a decent amount of RV sites, so we were lucky enough to find open spots several times throughout our trip.

Each of the 47 campsites at John Pennekamp are full hookup. There is also a boat launch at Pennekamp, which is great for the boating community. Also at this campground, there are 2 beach areas that are great for spending the afternoon.

One thing to know about Florida Keys beaches is that they aren’t made up of soft sand like in Destin. It’s pretty rocky and overall rough on the feet. This is because — as the name states — it’s a coral reef park. That’s great for snorkeling and scuba diving, but not for hanging at the beach. So be prepared with the proper footwear when going in the water and you’ll be just fine.

As we mentioned, the main attraction at John Pennekamp is the snorkeling and scuba diving. Just off the coast of Cannon Beach, there is a Spanish shipwreck that offers a great diving experience. They have tours that go out and they also rent all the equipment you’ll need if you don’t have your own.

Another great activity at Pennekamp is kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. These are available for rent for a reasonable price, and the 2.5 miles of mangrove trails offer a great spot to explore.

CURRY HAMMOCK STATE PARK

Heading further south in the Keys, another recommended campground is Curry Hammock State Park. Located just outside the town of Marathon, you’re close to a town with great restaurants and shops, but secluded enough to feel you’re on your own private island.

This state park is smaller and doesn’t have as many activities, but might have been my favorite. It was quiet and had a total tropical vibe. There’s a small playground for the kids to play at, and actually a small sandy beach to explore and swim.

Each campsite is lined with trees giving a lot of privacy.  The sites also have a picnic table, charcoal grill, and water and electric.

Curry Hammock is a great choice if you’re looking for a quiet tropical getaway.

BAHIA HONDA STATE PARK

Bahia Honda State Park is on the south end of the 7 Mile Bridge. This is another picturesque state park in the Florida Keys. You’ll find a great beach that has actual sand, so swimming is a great activity here.

There are kayak and SUP rentals offered here so you can explore more of the water, but be warned! Since you’re kayaking in more open water near the ocean, it is much harder than going through the serene mangrove trails at John Pennekamp. I learned that the hard way!

This state park is also close to Marathon, so you have all the amenities the town offers very close by.

FIESTA KEY

Fiesta Key, located at Mile Marker 70, offers scenic sunsets at Sunset Point, as well as a fantastic restaurant — Lobster Crawl Bar and Grill. Lobster Crawl’s outdoor seating area is right on the water, and honestly? The seating area alone is almost enough to book a stay.

Fiesta Key has plenty of RV sites, some even that back right up to the water.  They also have tent sites, cabins, and trailers for rent.

Since you’re in the Keys, and fishing is one of the most popular pastimes — Fiesta Key offers a marina, and other fishing spots on property.

You’ll also find a pool and hot tub here, making it a great place to stay.

SUNSHINE KEY

A little further south you’ll find Sunshine Key, located at Mile Marker 50. This resort has cabins, RV sites and tent sites. Sunshine Key has a fantastic pool that really gives it a resort-type feel.

There is a marina at Sunshine Key that is home to several manatees. These beautiful, peaceful creatures hang out in the marina and you can get an up-close view of them.

Sunshine Key is also closer to Key West, and you can easily do a day trip down to Key West to enjoy the fun and craziness, and then head back to Sunshine Key and the middle keys. What’s better than spending time in the Keys in an RV?

Florida is home to a ton of RV parks and offers lots of options — from very affordable state parks, to super luxurious resorts.  No matter what kind of RV resort you’re looking for, Florida is sure to have one that will fit the bill!
