FLORIDA IS OPEN AND CONTINUES TO BE THE BEST PLACE TO CAMP.
Hurricane Ian was a devastating storm and caused major flooding and severe damage along the coastal
areas of Ft. Myers Beach, Captive and Sanibel Island and Estero Bay and Bonita Springs. Some RV parks
received extensive damage and will be closed for an extended period of time. Our thoughts and prayers
go out to these park owners, their staff, and their guests who’s lives and businesses have been
temporarily devastated by this storm. We wish them the best as they rebuild.
Fortunately most of the parks in the SW Florida have re-opened and have power. Florida is a very
large state with over 800 RV parks, and SW Florida has more RV parks than any other area of the
state. Rest assured Florida is open for visitors and welcoming all RVers and campers.
Please continue to travel and camp in Florida. Whether you are wanting to camp now, or are waiting
for the Snow Bird Season to start, you will be happy you picked Florida. You can find your perfect
RV site right here on www.campflorida.com. If you have any questions, or would like assistance,
you can call the Camp Florida office at 850-562-7151. Thank you, we appreciate you choosing Florida
as your vacation and RV park destination.
NOTE: If you are planning a trip to SW Florida is advisable to reach out to RV parks to check on
their status and site availability, and be sure to make reservations in advance.

Idlewild is located on the spring-fed waters of Lake Panasoffkee and built on 3 acres with 10 cabins and 10 RV pads. While small, it is not short on amenities. Positioned as a boutique lodge, groups may find it ideal to host private events and families will find the amenities to be entertaining while also serving as a unique, but truly “Floridian,” nature experience. Located on the western perimeter of Lake Panasoffkee, Idlewild sits across a 9,911 acre state park preserving Lake Panasoffkee's vast floodplain forest, natural springs, pine flat-woods, freshwater marshes and oak scrub forest. Recognizing the beauty Lake Pan has to offer, the current owners revitalized Idlewild in 2022 welcoming residents and tourists alike to enjoy the natural beauty and fishing opportunities. In addition to cabin renovations and pavered RV sites, Idlewild now features premium amenities including pontoon boat rentals, kayaks, bait & tackle, a boat launch, boat slips, vending, recreational area, laundry machines, an on-site café, pool-side cabanas, and the most spectacular views of Lake Pan while sitting around the gas-fired fire pit. Idlewild is also host to Swamp Fever Airboat Adventures. Swamp Fever guests can sign up for the interactive alligator experience and ride an airboat deep into the shallow waters of Lake Pan's forest where snakes, turtles, cranes, and gators are aplenty.
