🌴 Florida’s Finest: 10 Must-Visit RV Parks and Campgrounds
Let’s dive into the best of the best:
🥾 1. Florida Caverns State Park — Marianna
Where else can you golf, kayak, and explore underground cave systems all in one place? This panhandle gem offers equestrian camping, hiking, and a cave tour that feels more sci-fi than Florida.
🏖️ 2. Topsail Hill Preserve — Santa Rosa Beach
Camp among rare coastal dune lakes only found in a few places on Earth. This park features 156 RV-friendly sites, stunning beach access, and hiking trails worthy of a front-porch brag.
🐚 3. Anastasia State Park — St. Augustine
Ten minutes from downtown, yet worlds away in vibe. Hit the beach, wander the salt marshes, or find your chill next to a crackling campfire beneath the trees.
🏰 4. Fort Pickens Campground — Pensacola
History and ocean collide at this Gulf Islands National Seashore site, where 200 campsites sit between Pensacola Bay and the Gulf. Explore Fort Pickens, hunt shells at Langdon Beach, or hike through military ruins.
☀️ 5. St. George Island State Park — Forgotten Coast
Frequently ranked one of the best beaches in the U.S. by Dr. Beach, this park is ideal for swimming, boating, and forgetting what day it is.
💦 6. Juniper Springs — Ocala National Forest
Set up camp near natural springs and paddle the seven-mile Juniper Run—considered one of the most jaw-dropping aquatic adventures in the South.
🎆 7. Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort — Orlando
Theme park access, fireworks views, and shaded RV pads? Fort Wilderness combines family-friendly magic with camping comfort like nowhere else.
🐠 8. Bahia Honda State Park — Florida Keys
Paradise is located at Mile Marker 36.8. Book early and pack sunscreen—this is one of the most coveted camping spots in America.
🦁 9. Lion Country Safari KOA — Loxahatchee
Camp next to real-life lions (yes, roaring ones) at one of Florida’s most unique parks. Halfway between West Palm Beach and Lake Okeechobee, it’s big-rig friendly and totally unforgettable.
🎣 10. Fisherman's Cove RV Resort — Tampa Bay
Voted Small Park of the Year, this RV resort backs up to Terra Ceia Bay, offering kayaking, hiking, a pool, pickleball, and access to nearby cities like St. Petersburg and Sarasota.
🌦️ What If It Rains? Florida Weather Wisdom
Florida weather likes drama. Expect glorious sunshine... right up until a sudden thunderstorm rains on your hot dog. Afternoon downpours are as consistent as grandma’s cornbread, so plan your big hikes and swims early in the day.
Pack a rainfly, quick-dry clothes, and a good book—because there’s something cozy about a short-lived storm when you're tucked under your awning, sipping something cold.
💡 Camping Tips for the Curious & Committed
Book early—especially for Bahia Honda and Disney’s Fort Wilderness
Check rig length limits at each park before you go (seriously—don’t be “that guy” blocking the dump station)
Bring bug spray unless you’re into extreme mosquito sport
Consider off-season for better weather... and fewer neighbors who snore

🍤 What’s for Dinner? Local Bites Near the Sites
S’mores are sacred, but Florida’s local food scene is worth venturing from the firepit. Some ideas:
By Bahia Honda? Conch fritters and grilled mahi mahi from a roadside grill are required eating.
Camping near Fort Pickens? Grab fresh Gulf oysters or Pensacola’s legendary shrimp tacos.
Around Juniper Springs? Burn some calories paddling, then hit up Ocala’s BBQ joints for sweet tea and brisket heaven.
No energy to cook? You’re never more than 10 miles from a place slinging fried grouper sandwiches with a side of coleslaw and unapologetic pride.
