People who camp a lot are often described as "outdoorsy." We'd say this is a pretty accurate description. After all, camping is essentially sleeping outdoors. Sometimes, you might have a tent or even a cabin between you and the true wilderness, but that's still more outdoorsy than sleeping in a modern, well-equipped home.
If you're interested in camping or consider yourself outdoorsy, then you've come to the right place. This is a blog about camping, so you're bound to enjoy it. Of course, you're welcome if you're not too outdoorsy and are just curious about camping, too. This is a good place to start learning.
Packing up the RV and hitting the open road is an exhilarating experience. Especially knowing you will arrive somewhere to relax and explore. When it comes to many RV parks, oftentimes sites are stacked close together to cram as many campers in as possible. But if you are looking for something with a more laid-back feel, consider a waterfront RV park. Get back to the basics of natural camping. Check out these ways to do just that.
Be Close to The Water
The state of Florida is synonymous with water and beauty. That means many campers who want to take in just what the sunshine state has to offer choose to be near the water. Florida offers a plethora of water sources, including oceans as well as freshwater tributaries and lakes. Caves and springs are scattered throughout the entire state. This means wildlife is abundant in almost every coastal and inland area throughout the state.
Choosing to camp near a water source means you can explore the natural beauty and engage in recreational activities too. Kayaking, fishing, airboat riding, snorkeling, and sailing are fun activities to enjoy on the water. Heading to the beach for a swim or just to sunbathe are enjoyable things to do while camping at a waterfront RV resort. Don't forget to comb the beach for shells and sea glass if you visit the ocean.
Explore Nearby Natural Beauty
Having a campsite tucked away in a natural Florida setting is a thrilling experience. Whether you have a large family or you are a digital nomad traveling through, the goal is to engage in the natural backdrop a waterfront recreational vehicle resort has to offer.
Whether you have a vintage camper or a brand new Class A, you can still enthrall yourself in the greenspace surrounding your site. Don't forget to go beyond your site and really explore the area. Wildlife is in abundance in Florida. Depending on where you go, you can see birds, deer, and maybe even a manatee if you're lucky to catch a glimpse.
Connect With Locals
When it comes to Florida-style camping, cooking outside is a must! Not only does starting a small campfire or firing up the grill get you into the camping spirit, but it also invites neighbors and other campers to drop by and chat. It's a great way to learn about what the RV resort has to offer, including nearby quaint boutiques and secret hiking paths.
Gathering near the beach is a great place to get back to basics while making new RV friends too. A relaxing swim with a cool drink in hand is a welcoming way to mix and mingle with other water-loving campers.
It's time to step up your RV game. Look for that hidden Florida gem that is set in a peaceful waterfront setting. Your next adventure awaits!
