If you want to head out on an RV trip during winter, avoid places where you might experience freezing temperatures and snowstorms. Here are 5 great winter RV destinations that offer mild weather and plenty of things to do.
Winter RV Destinations in the Florida Keys
The Florida Keys is a popular vacation destination, but hotels tend to be very expensive there. Luckily, you can turn this into an RV road trip by driving to this island chain from mainland Florida. There are RV parks all the way down the Florida Keys, from Key Largo to Key West. The Keys offer activities like snorkeling, fishing, historical tours in Key West, and birdwatching.
The Everglades
The Everglades National Park is a wilderness area of South Florida that is unlike anywhere else in the country. The campground at the Flamingo visitor center has RV hookups, making it a great base camp to set up your RV and explore the Everglades. The Everglades is a great place to hike and spot wildlife like alligators and birds.
Destin, Florida
The Destin area in the Florida panhandle is known for its white-sand beaches. There are plenty of great RV parks to choose from in and around Destin, some with ocean and bay views. Henderson Beach state park has a campground with sites right by the beach. There are often dolphin sightings in this area, making it a great place to go on a sunset dolphin cruise.
New Orleans
You don’t usually think about RVing in big cities, but New Orleans offers a lively music culture and culinary scene and plenty of places to park RVs. It can get brutally hot throughout most of the year, so winter is the perfect time to visit this amazing city.
Hilton Head Island
Hilton Head Island in South Carolina is a perfect place to visit during winter when the beaches, shops, and restaurants are less crowded. The temperatures are moderate and you’ll often see lower daily RV park rates in the off-season, which typically falls between December and February.
Winter RV Destinations in Orlando
If you have kids, Orlando is the perfect place to take an RV trip in the winter. With theme parks abounding, it is a great area to keep your kids entertained and having fun. You’ll have more money for tickets to Disney, Universal Studios, and Legoland if you stay in an RV park instead of an expensive hotel.
