Planned Activities

Meadowlark Shores RV Park

Meadowlark Shores RV Park in Moore Haven, Florida, offers full-hookup RV sites steps from Lake Okeechobee, with boat docks, a boat ramp, an outdoor pool, and a hot tub behind a gated entrance. A clubhouse, recreation center, and personal mailboxes serve both travelers and longer-stay residents on the Big Lake. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, personal mailboxes, and a pet washing station handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and a gated entrance controlling access. The mailboxes and washing station point clearly at the extended-stay guests the park serves alongside travelers. The lake carries the recreation. Boat docks and a boat ramp give direct access for fishing, boating, canoeing, and kayaking, with an outdoor pool and hot tub as the managed alternative. A clubhouse, recreation center, game room, arcade, pond, walking trails, playground, dog park, pavilion, horseshoes, shuffleboard, biking, and picnicking fill the grounds, with strong birding along the shoreline. Pets are welcome. Moore Haven sits in Glades County on US-27 and SR-78 on Lake Okeechobee's northern shore — the largest freshwater lake in Florida and the second-largest natural freshwater lake in the contiguous United States. Glades County is among Florida's most rural and lightly developed, and the Okeechobee bass fishery is the main draw. LaBelle River Rentals and Gatorama are nearby on the Caloosahatchee. Winter and spring bass season drive the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead.

This is a 55+ community, open all year, and guests who don't own an RV can book one of the apartments, cottages, or motel rooms instead. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and on-site dining cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The social calendar carries the community: a clubhouse, a recreation center, a game room, a fitness center, a library, a pavilion, sport courts, pickleball, bocce, shuffleboard, corn hole, and planned activities, with swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, and biking on and around the lake. Golf and wine tasting are nearby.

Fisheating Creek Outpost

44 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 69 Tent Sites

Fisheating Creek Outpost in Palmdale, FL, offers 44 full-hookup RV sites, 1 cabin, and 69 tent sites, with 30 and 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in three types — standard back-in, back-in 30-amp, and ADA back-in — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. With 69 tent sites against 44 RV sites, this is a paddling and camping outpost first. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, on-site dining, and a recreation center cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. One genuine safety note: this is alligator country, and Florida Fish and Wildlife asks visitors to stay alert near any fresh or brackish water. Kayak, boat, and bike rentals, a boat ramp, a beach, a pond, a pavilion, and walking trails support fishing, paddling, paddle boarding, paddle boats, swimming, hiking, biking, and birding. Palmdale sits in Glades County on Fisheating Creek — one of the last free-flowing undammed creek systems in South Florida, flowing northwest into Lake Okeechobee through cypress and supporting sandhill cranes, limpkins, bass, and catfish. Rates for every site type are on the booking page. Winter paddling season fills first.

Lake Okeechobee RV Park

36 RV Sites, 7 Cabins

Lake Okeechobee RV Park in Okeechobee, FL, offers 37 full-hookup RV sites and 7 cabins, with 50-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 45 feet. Sites are tiered as standard, standard plus, premium, and super premium, all back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. Note the electrical: this park runs 50-amp service throughout, so a rig wired for lighter service will need an adapter. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a clubhouse are on site, and pets are welcome. A boat ramp on the property puts guests onto the canal network and out to the lake for bass fishing and boating, with billiards and live music in the clubhouse, plus hiking, biking, swimming, and birding. A state park is nearby. Okeechobee sits on the canal network at the edge of Lake Okeechobee in south-central Florida — a 730-square-mile freshwater inland sea and one of the most celebrated bass fisheries in the country. Reservations are handled online, or by phone if you'd rather talk it through. Winter bass season fills the park, so book early for January through March.

Sanctuary RV Resort

156 RV Sites

Sanctuary RV Resort in Bonita Springs, Florida, offers 162 RV sites with rigs accepted up to 115 feet — among the most generous length allowances in Southwest Florida. Premiere super pull-through, super pull-through, and super back-in categories join a pool, clubhouse, marina, and library between Naples and Fort Myers. One hundred sixty-two sites run in super back-in, super pull-through, and premiere super pull-through categories, sized to 115 feet. The super designation is not marketing here — 115 feet accommodates the longest coaches on the road with a tow and room to spare, which is genuinely rare this far south. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, RV storage, and WiFi handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a clubhouse, library, sports courts, pickleball, and a playground filling the grounds. A marina sits on the property, and a dog park serves pets. Live music runs through the season, and the surrounding preserve makes for productive birding. Pets are welcome. Bonita Springs sits in Lee County between Naples and Fort Myers, which puts guests within easy reach of some of the Gulf Coast's best beaches, most productive fishing, and most carefully preserved natural areas. This is an all-ages resort rather than 55-plus, which broadens who it suits. Winter is decisively the season in Southwest Florida, when snowbird demand fills the Gulf corridor from January through March. Book well ahead for those months, and expect considerably easier availability through the summer.

Fort Myers sits on the South Tamiami Trail in Lee County, where the Gulf's barrier island beaches and the Caloosahatchee River's inland waterway meet subtropical southwest Florida. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Sixteen sites in Fort Myers means the winter season books out well ahead.

Timberline Glamping at Naples

Timberline Glamping at Naples in Collier County, Florida, delivers safari-style tent accommodations with air conditioning, heating, comfortable beds, and a coffee maker in the natural setting southwest of Naples — a glamping property that gives guests the outdoor camping connection with the southwest Florida landscape without the infrastructure gap between deluxe hotel accommodation and primitive camping that the Naples area's visitor market has consistently shown it is not interested in bridging on its own. The safari tent format, combining canvas tent enclosure with genuine modern comfort systems, creates the specific outdoor-indoor hybrid experience that the glamping category delivers at its most satisfying when the natural setting outside the tent justifies the accommodation format itself. Air-conditioned and heated safari-style tent accommodations give guests the complete modern comfort systems for year-round Florida outdoor stays — the air conditioning specifically addresses the reality that southwest Florida's summer humidity and heat make unaided outdoor sleeping uncomfortable in a way that reduces camping's appeal to the substantial non-camping fraction of the Naples visitor demographic. The coffee maker and comfortable bed infrastructure give the tents the turnkey morning experience that glamping guests specifically cite as the category's primary experiential advantage over conventional tent camping. The property's natural setting provides the outdoor connection — birds, warm nights, and southwest Florida's distinctive subtropical vegetation — that the indoor amenity infrastructure supports rather than replaces. Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, 30 miles northeast of Naples in Collier County, preserves the largest remaining old-growth bald cypress forest in North America — a 13,000-acre Audubon Society sanctuary whose 2.5-mile boardwalk trail through ancient cypress trees, some over 500 years old and 130 feet tall, with knees rising from the dark swamp water below, delivers a natural landscape experience of genuine profundity that has no equivalent elsewhere in the continental United States. The sanctuary's winter wading bird nesting colony, concentrating wood storks, great blue herons, anhingas, and roseate spoonbills in the cypress canopy, is one of the most spectacular wildlife aggregations in Florida. Big Cypress National Preserve, northeast of Naples, protects 720,000 acres of the South Florida freshwater watershed that sustains Everglades National Park's flow regime and the Florida panther population that the preserve's vast, undeveloped landscape supports in the largest concentration remaining in the eastern United States. Airboat and swamp buggy tours through the Big Cypress cypress strand and wet prairie habitat give visitors the immersive Southwest Florida wetland experience that the Everglades' more managed visitor infrastructure channels more rigidly. Timberline Glamping at Naples operates year-round in Collier County's subtropical climate, with the winter dry season from December through April representing the most comfortable outdoor recreation conditions and the primary snowbird season that sustains Southwest Florida's hospitality economy through the cooler months. The summer wet season from June through September delivers daily afternoon thunderstorms and higher temperatures but also the lushest tropical vegetation and the active birdlife that follows South Florida's summer monsoon rains through the freshwater wetland systems. Reserve safari tent accommodations ahead for the winter peak season from January through March, when Naples's accommodation market is at its most competitive and the outdoor glamping experience is most comfortable in the subtropical outdoors.

West Jupiter RV Resort

96 RV Sites

West Jupiter RV Resort in Jupiter, Florida, is a gated 55-plus community offering 96 RV sites in premier and super pull-through categories. A marina, outdoor pool, clubhouse, craft room, library, beach, and pond sit minutes from the northern edge of Palm Beach County's Gold Coast. Ninety-six sites run in premier and super pull-through categories, sized to 45 feet. The super pull-through designation means no backing and room to maneuver, which matters more than it sounds when you are settling in for a season rather than a night. Contact the resort directly to confirm electric service and hookups for your rig before booking. A marina is the standout amenity, giving direct water access from the property. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a clubhouse, craft room, library, and on-site dining besides. Shuffleboard, fishing, swimming, a beach, pond, playground, and dog park fill the grounds. The 55-plus designation and gated entrance set the tone — this is an active-adult community with a small-town atmosphere rather than a family campground. Pets are welcome. Jupiter sits at the northern end of the Gold Coast, where South Florida's beach culture and world-class offshore fishing meet a quieter residential character than Fort Lauderdale or Miami. The Loxahatchee River, Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, and Palm Beach's dining and shopping are all within easy reach. Winter is decisively the season in South Florida's 55-plus communities. January through March fills with snowbirds. Book well ahead for those months, with far easier availability through the summer.

from $66/night

Blueway RV Park

95 RV Sites

Blueway RV Park in Fort Myers, Florida, offers 94 full-hookup RV sites across more than 30 acres on South Tamiami Trail, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 47 feet. A lakeview back-in category joins standard back-in and pull-through tiers, with a pool, hot tub, fitness center, recreation center, and golf cart rentals. Ninety-four sites run in back-in, lakeview back-in, and pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 47 feet. The lakeview category is worth requesting for a seasonal stay. A general store, laundry, dump station, and RV storage handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor daily recreation, with a fitness center, recreation center, pavilion, sports courts, shuffleboard, horseshoes, corn hole, golf cart rentals, and a dog park filling the grounds. The social amenity package is built around keeping guests active and connected through long stays rather than entertaining overnight visitors — which tells you exactly who this park serves. Pets are welcome. More than 30 acres gives the property one of the larger footprints in Lee County, and the loyal seasonal following reflects it. Southwest Florida's winters are the draw: reliably warm, dry, and sunny from November through April, with Sanibel, Captiva, Fort Myers Beach, and the Caloosahatchee all within reach and Naples a short drive south. Winter is decisively the season on Florida's Gulf Coast. January through March fills with snowbirds. Book well ahead for those months, with far easier availability through the summer.

Sun Resorts & Residences Lake San Marino

86 RV Sites

Lake San Marino in North Naples, Florida, is a 55-plus community offering 86 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, open all year. Elite, standard, and cozy full-hookup categories join a pool, fitness center, recreation center, library, and pickleball courts minutes from the Gulf. Eighty-six back-in sites run in cozy, standard, and elite full-hookup categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. All sites are back-in with plenty of room for slide-outs, and you can choose a grassy pad or a full concrete pad. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and recycling handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, game room, and library besides. Pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard, billiards, corn hole, sports courts, a lake, pond, beach, dog park, and picnicking fill the grounds, with fishing and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. The 55-plus designation and long-established community are the character here — this is an active-adult resort where residents and seasonal visitors know each other, not a transient park. North Naples puts the sugar-white Gulf beaches and the upscale boutiques and restaurants of Fifth Avenue South within minutes. Winter is decisively the season in Southwest Florida's 55-plus communities. January through March fills with snowbirds and the Naples corridor tightens considerably. Book well ahead for those months, with far easier availability through the summer.

Endless Summer RV Resort

36 RV Sites

Endless Summer RV Resort in Naples, Florida, offers 42 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Super and standard back-in categories join an outdoor pool, clubhouse, recreation center, library, and dog park in an all-ages community. Forty-two back-in sites run in standard and super categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet. Two tiers keep booking simple — pick standard or step up for the extra room. A laundry and restrooms handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors daily recreation, with a clubhouse, recreation center, library, and dog park filling the rest. Live music runs through the season, and swimming rounds it out. Pets are welcome. The all-ages designation is worth noting. Many Collier County communities are 55-plus, and this one is not, which broadens who it suits — families and working travelers can stay here when much of the surrounding market is closed to them. The clubhouse-centered social environment is what regulars come back for. Naples is among Florida's most affluent and naturally spectacular Gulf Coast communities. The white sand beaches, the Naples Pier, Fifth Avenue South's restaurants and galleries, and the Naples Botanical Garden are all close, with the Everglades, Big Cypress, and Marco Island within easy reach for anyone wanting the wilder version of Southwest Florida. Winter is decisively the season on the Gulf Coast. January through March fills with snowbirds and Naples runs at capacity. Book well ahead for those months, with far easier availability through the humid summer.
