Introduction

Big RVs need bigger sites — and Florida's older state parks weren't always built for 40-foot coaches.

Check site length

Always read the campground's site directory, not just the max length summary.

Turning radius and tree cover

Live oaks and low branches are common in Florida parks.

FAQ

Are private parks easier for big rigs? Usually yes.
