Florida's Gulf Coast RV Adventure Guide

Regular price $9.00 USD
Regular price $17.00 USD Sale price $9.00 USD

We RVers may wander far and wide but it’s true for most of us that we end up with some favorite “Go-To” places – places that draw us back again and again.

Stretching from the Gulf Islands National Seashore near Pensacola to the west and going all the way up along to Clearwater, Naples, and beyond - this is an area of contrasts.

There are more upscale shopping centers, fine restaurants, and busy little chic boutiques along the Gulf Coast than you will find just about anywhere else.

But just off those main drags and highways are quiet, tranquil places and the most glorious sugar-sand beaches we’ve found anywhere in America.

And, of course, the ocean water. Crystal-clear, turquoise, and emerald-colored. In some places, it looks like you are in the Caribbean.

We’re certain you’ll find a little slice of paradise here to call your own.

This guide is a seven day guided exploration of Florida’s Gulf Coast!

We provide a suggested route and itinerary, links to multiple campgrounds and boondocking spots, and the best spots to see along the way. Don’t plan your trip to Florida without it! 

You can hit everything in seven days, do a whirlwind weekend tour, or you can take your time and explore the area over a few weeks.

Each stop is a curated view of the best things that we’ve enjoyed on this trip and want you to experience.
