Hi all,
What a great community!
I'm a Brit planning first RV holiday around Florida.
Looking at various websites there's some confusion about which State Parks I can camp at.
Specifically the Florida state parks website lists only a relatively small number of sites as bookable for RV camping.
But other websites listing RV camps in Florida will list a much larger number of state parks as open to RV camping. If you check sites at these parks on reserveamerica then the sites are described as 'standard family electric/water' (I realise there's rarely a sewage hook-up in a state park) with a trailer -type symbol.
For instance the John Pennekamp Coral Reef park at Key Largo is not listed under RVs on the state park website, but it is listed as an RV site on the more general RV websites.
The specific campite descriptions are almost identical at sites which are 'official' RV sites (eg Bahia Honda further down the Keys) and sites which are not on the 'official' list but nevertheless feature on many other RV site lists (like John Pennekamp).
It doesn't seem to depend on maximum vehicle length either, as some 'official' sites list the max length as 30ft. btw our RV will just be a modest C-25
Please can anyone resolve this confusion for me? I may be missing something very simple! If I can use the sites which are not on the 'official' very limited list then I'll have a wider choice of state parks to consider for our itinerary.
Thanks for any advice,
Adrian
