Florida Dry Camping Locations | An Overview

Here I provide an overview of Florida dry camping locations. I take you to 12 separate dry camping locations, all located in Florida. Dry camping is simply camping without hookups. Why would you want to dry camp? 1) It is less expensive. 2) You can land a campsite much easier, even in the winter in Florida. 3) The dry camping locations I show in this video are located outside of congested areas, so you'll be experiencing natural Florida.
There is a separate video for each camping location shown in this video. Each respective video provides important additional information not provided within this overview. You may access all these videos by subscribing to our KZbin channel, navigating to the playlist tab, and opening our Florida Playlist.

[@annhysell6064]

Lou, So much thanks to you and Melody (and Milo)for scoping out these camp areas. I have several of your videos saved for our travels south. Unfortunately we are stuck in NE Ohio after a lake effect snow with more to come. Shoot. I really appreciate your reviews .Be well & Happy Holidays.

[@jeffhambric9045]

Great overview are there more places in south Florida?

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

Lots of affordable RV camping in south Florida. Check out this overview video for an exceptional experience: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2HIkGSObbOIkLMsi=9VBwky6-PAAl2sn6

[@davelamb5895]

Well, I know where I'm heading in November of 24----FLORIDA!! And lots of free dry camping! Thanks so much for this video! Retired in 16 and have spent last 7 winters in deserts of Arizona, but decided to stay put in central Illinois this winter...God only knows WHY!!! LOL...this video gives me plenty of time to plan for next winter where to go!!

[@Jeffbob442]

I know! Wonder why we are here as well? Going to Florida in 24 as well! How was AZ? Jeff/Urbana

[@davelamb5895]

Arizona is ok, lots of BLM lands to choose from, some free and never see a Ranger,,,others you pay and Rangers will keep track of your in/out date and enforce!@@Jeffbob442

[@thewanderingshores]

Lou yet another great video. We have been to a couple of those locations but many of them we had not yet so they are now on our map. Thanks for all the hard work- Kyle and Michelle

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

This means a lot coming from our fiends the Wandering Shores. Sometimes diving into your hobby full tilt shows - and this video appears to be well received. Thanks Kyle. Lou

[@Thesaltymedic36]

Great places to camp. I did find them in I-overlander but your reviews are great. I bet I could hop around Florida between them and TT all winter long. For cheap too 👍🏼

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

Always useful having the ability to dry camp, especially in Florida during the winter. Thanks for watching! Lou

[@vroe9107]

Great information and reviews. Thanks! A composite list at the end would be helpful to get all 10 locations on one list.

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

I prefer to have our viewers visit our Florida playlist. There are a lot of good videos there both on camping locations and cool things to see and do while in Florida. Thanks for watching! Lou

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

You guys know more about Florida than we do...lol. These campsites are awesome. Lou🤓

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

But I'm not as cute as the EatSleepRVRepeat duo. Hey -- I really like your logo :) Lou

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

@@LivingOurDreamNow hehehehehe, I like your logo too. Lou🤓

Thank you so much for this valuable video!

Appreciate the insight; rarely I hear someone use the wording Dry Camping which actuality that’s what it is; are you allowed to use a Generator; I could only see myself when the weather at nights is cool enough to sleep comfortably and not have to use a Generator. How about Dump stations? Thankfully North FLA is cooler then here in South FLA

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

Thank you for this feedback. This is a dry camping overview video providing highlights. We've done individual videos that go into more detail on each camping location covered in the video. As for the art of dry camping, we cover some essentials in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJnYiWxrj7WZfs0si=W77Pt3yUUrI3Ulhl Common sense dictates that you time your visit so that the climate is pleasant for your intended dry camping location. Something as simple as a USB powered personal fan can make sleeping a lot better if you get caught in a hot snap. Lou

[@AmericanWanderers]

Interesting. You missed a whole class of cheap/free (for over 65 Fl residents) dry CG. That is the doezen or so Florida State Forests. There is a nice, equestrian CG with ten pull thru sites just outside Newberry FL, 10 bucks a night. They have a water spigot in the CG but otherwise dry. Fire rings and Picnic tables. Called Watermelon pond. Lots of hiking trails and access to the pond. I have rarely seen anyone there. Other State Forests are scattered around the state with CG. Online reservations.

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

Great point! These campsites are planned for a future video project. Lou

[@wyoprospector]

Is there a lake at Lake Panasofkee campground? All I saw was a big open field where you bake in the sun. Looked like the worst one you showed. No sites on the lake?

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

No lake at the campground proper.

[@oldindiansreflections]

It's called boondocking; no hookups.😊

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

Actually, boondocking would not be the correct term for camping in a campground without hookups. Boondocking is defined as: "the activity of camping (= sleeping outside in a tent or special vehicle) on land that does not have any services and is not part of an official campground". Lou

[@ItzCitrus.]

Is there any spots to dry camp in or near new port richey or Clearwater?

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

I checked one out years ago and decided not to do a video. Check Campendium for nearby free camping. Lou

[@ItzCitrus.]

Thank you

[@markparsons9066]

I really wish that Fl. residents such as myself were not prevented by snow birds from camping during the best part of the year at the better areas, which our taxes fund, without a 1 year reservation. We should make 10% of every state park non reservable and for florida residents only.

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

West Virginia has no restrictions for non-residents in reserving campsites in our state parks and forests. I do believe that any state that imposes restrictions on non-residents should have an automatic restriction imposed on that state's residents in every other state. Now that would level the playing field. I suppose Florida residents won't mind, as long as they never camp outside of the Sunshine State. Oh yea -- West Virginia doesn't charge an entry fee for most of our parks (and our tax dollars pay for that). Lou

[@orbyjett2864]

Have to worry about gators?

[@LivingOurDreamNow]

Just don't step on one . . . If you go to Florida gators are part of the package. Lou

[@orbyjett2864]

@@LivingOurDreamNow you are funny 😄. Guess it's like scorpions in the desert. Moving into converted minivan to crisscross country. Should be interesting for life long city dweller
