Some Highlights Of RV 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. 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. 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. Named after famous folk singer Gamble Rogers, this northern Florida destinations offers an abundance of fun to do. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intercoastal Waterways, in Flagler County, you will find great snorkeling, deep sea fishing, boating and picnics on the beach, the most common activities. As the temperatures cool, you can watch mother sea turtles lay and hide her eggs for their long nurturing growth and hatch. A different site will offer you many more choices of shells as they lay there waiting for you to take home as a memory of your trip.
D. While still in the northern part of Florida, you may wish to check into the Gold Head Branch Resort. Centrally located between Jacksonville and Gainsville, this locale offers a fresh water lake, home of the Bald Eagle, other local animals and more. Take a drive and enjoy more than 25 golf courses within 50 miles of this resort. Plan a late fall trip to Gold Head and enjoy the wildflowers in bloom with color and scents to keep you calm and enjoy all that this area has to offer.
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.
