Best Florida Harvest Hosts Locations

Owning and renting RVs has stayed trending as one of the top ways to vacation in North America. There are new RVers hitting the road every single day to get a taste of the freedom and flexibility that these vehicles offer. Not only that, but these modes of transportation are a more comfortable and affordable way to travel, especially since the pandemic began nearly two years ago. Most of North America can be traveled by RV, but specific areas are more popular than others. Popularity in specific areas is for a variety of reasons, including temperature and weather, affordability, and how RV-friendly certain locations are. In order to be considered “RV-friendly,” an area must have nearby camping locations and resources such as water spigots available. One of the top locations is RV camping in Florida.

RVs and Florida go together like peanut butter and jelly. The weather is warm almost year round, there are RV campgrounds galore, and beautiful beaches line the coast. Best of all, since it mostly stays above freezing, RVers in Florida have access to water all year, unlike in some areas with four seasons. Traveling to Florida in your RV is so much more memorable with a Harvest Hosts membership. There are nearly one hundred Hosts just in this state alone. Get ready as we explore some of the top Harvest Host locations in Florida in hopes of helping to plan your next road trip.
