Florida is set to welcome snowbirds this winter with a growing roster of new and expanding RV resorts across the state. Known for its year-round sunshine, pristine beaches, and diverse attractions, Florida continues to draw winter travelers seeking respite from colder climates.
Bobby Cornwell, president and CEO of the Florida RV Park and Campground Association, highlighted the growing appeal of these destinations, stating, “We continue to see both new and expanding RV resorts in Florida, many of which have exceptional amenities.”
The Florida RV Park and Campground Association, based in Tallahassee, offers resources through its website, CampFlorida.com, which features a searchable database of campgrounds, RV parks, and resorts statewide. This resource helps travelers plan their stays while showcasing the variety and quality of accommodations available to visitors.
