Roll the RV through Punta Gorda’s mangrove forests and bountiful state parks.
Relax on the beach, spot bald eagles flying overhead, or try to reel in the biggest largemouth bass while camping in Punta Gorda. The area is well known for its marshes and mangrove forests (home to American alligators and manatees), which are best explored from a traveling home—RVs and campervans welcome. Visit in winter to spot flocks of migratory birds, including the majestic white pelican. Family-friendly RV resorts in the area offer convenient 50-amp electrical hookups, potable water, dump stations, hot showers, and even pools, clubhouses, and boat launches. (Look for availability of back-in and pull-through campsites for travel trailers and big rigs.) Hop in the motorhome to explore Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park’s terrific paddling, hiking, and bird opportunities, or hit other state parks, like Oscar Scherer and Myakka River, which also feature full-service RV sites with restrooms and hot showers.
