Each winter since we’ve been RVing we’ve had the goal of going to the Florida Keys. But between bad weather, full campgrounds, and family commitments, it’s taken us until this year to make it. And wow, was it worth the wait! There’s something magical as you leave the mainland, driving south on US 1. Island by island, bridge after bridge, the water seems to get bluer and the scenery more serene. Our goal was Big Pine Key, where we had reservations for ten nights at Sunshine Key RV Resort. Normally campsites at Sunshine Key can cost $110/night or more, but as members of Thousand TrailsRead More →

Some of the best, quirkiest, most interesting, and most beautiful things to see and do in Florida are miles and miles away from Orlando, Miami, and the Atlantic coast. This winter we decided to head west to “The Forgotten Coast,” otherwise known as the Florida Panhandle. While staying in Carrabelle, we discovered a house built of empty bottles, saw the world’s smallest police station, and visited the Crooked River Lighthouse. Then on to Apalachicola, Florida’s self-described “Oyster Capital of the World,” to enjoy the fruit of the sea at “Up the Creek Raw Bar.” Did we eat raw oysters?

As RVing becomes more and more popular, it’s getting harder and harder to find a nice campsite – or any campsite – during the high season in popular areas. And RV destinations don’t get much more popular than Florida in the winter. More and more RVers are making reservations at their favorite Florida campgrounds a full year in advance. Others find themselves constantly on the phone, spending three nights here, and two nights there, wherever they can find a vacancy. And did I mention that most Florida campgrounds are expensive? This year we made it our goal to spend as little as possible on campsites,Read More →
