Customer Reviews

Finally, what I needed.

I had done a considerable amount of searching on the Internet and at some local outlets but could not seem to come up with a concise listing of RV parks that would serve our needs for long-term stays. I found this guide quite helpful in locating several areas and parks that precisely fit our agenda. The detail information proved to be accurate as I started making phone calls and visiting with some RV Park operators. We will be arriving in Florida in just a couple of months and will do a second write-up as we explore the southern part of the state.

Difference of opinion

The criticism of Florida RV Camping is off-base. I'm the author of both the RV book and also Florida Camping, and the RV book is targeted to a different reader. It focuses exclusively on the needs of the RV and trailer camper. It is RV-specific, listing such things as lot sizes, amperage of utilities, and whether interior roads are paved or easy to maneuver. It has a larger typeface and less compact design. Primitive campgrounds are excluded, and it is assumed the reader will not want to be placed near tenters. Florida Camping, by contrast, is the all-encompassing, comprehensive guide to all kinds of camping in Florida. It's been called the "Bible" for its breadth. It is also more nature-oriented than the RV book, and is targeted more to tent campers, backpackers, canoeists and kayakers. RV parks ARE included in Florida Camping, as are back-country sites. Things change quickly in Florida, as is noted, so all information is subject to change. Not just hurricane damage caused changes in 2004 and 2005. In 2006, the real estate boom took its toll on many RV parks and campgrounds; some owners were in the process of selling their land to developers when these books went to press. The ensuing real estate bust means that the market is still in flux. Marilyn Moore Author
