Osceola National Forest– No reservations needed. ( Porter Lake Campground and Pope Still Hunt Camp) North Florida – Escribano Point Wildlife Management Area (Bayside Campground)Īpalachicola National Forest – No reservations needed. Each listing contains a direct link to book the camping reservation, or a link to see more information if no reservation is required. Not all locations can accommodate RVs, some are suitable only for camper vans or small travel trailers, please do your research to see what boondocking locations will fit your set up. The areas with a * below are verified (by us or other RVers) as big rig friendly areas. Some of these boondocking locations that have bathrooms, showers, water spigots, and dump stations…which are great resources to have while dry camping! (Our RV is 43’ and a little over 13’ tall) Reviews can also let you know about road conditions leading up to the campground, low tree branches, etc that would be hard to navigate with a larger rig. Reviews are important to find out whether a location can handle large rigs like ours. I use Campendium to cross reference the areas for location, amenities, view user photos and to read reviews.
Boondocking in florida free#
Look specifically for camping options in Wildlife or Water Management areas, as well National Forests, as they are usually the free boondocking locations. We generally have an idea of what area we are traveling to, so I’ll use this resource to look and see what free camping options are around the area we want to stay. My favorite way to find boondocking locations in a specific area of Florida is by using Campendium. I hope this helps you explore the free, dry-camping options in Florida that will allow you to enjoy the beauty of Florida while camping on a budget!

I couldn’t find much information about dry camping sites in Florida at all! We actually considered doing a camping membership just so we could travel around Florida in a budget friendly way.īut then I dug a little deeper, did a lot of research and planning, and figured out that boondocking in Florida is actually fairly easy and accessible! Yes, even with our 43’ “Big Rig.” Not easily accessible like it is out west on BLM lands. When we considered heading to Florida for the winter, I was a little disheartened because I was under the impression that finding boondocking locations in Florida were scarce. We had our 3000w solar setup installed in November, and planned to boondock as much as possible after that. In most cases, boondocking is FREE! That certainly beats any price you would pay at an RV park, right? It’s just you, your RV or camper, and whatever land you’re parked on. First, what is boondocking?īoondocking, or dry camping, is where you are not connected to power, water, or sewer. Free, dry-camping, otherwise known as boondocking, does actually exist in Florida.
