RV Camping near Arcadia, Florida

Cross Creek RV Resort

17 RV Sites

Cross Creek RV Resort in Arcadia, Florida, offers 17 RV sites on the Peace River, with cable TV and rigs accepted to 75 feet, open all year behind a gated entrance. An RV Super Site category joins a standard back-in tier, with an outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, clubhouse, craft room, library, and bar. Seventeen back-in sites run in RV Super Site and standard back-in categories, carrying cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 75 feet. Confirm hookups and amp service with the resort for your rig when you book. Seventy-five feet accommodates a long coach with a tow — generous for a property this size, and the Super Site category gives the longest rigs a proper home. A laundry handles the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor daily recreation, with a fitness center, recreation center, clubhouse, craft room, library, and bar besides. Sports courts, tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard, billiards, horseshoes, a lake, pond, beach, dog park, and hiking fill the rest, with boating, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, fishing, live music, and planned activities through the season. A golf course is nearby. That amenity list at 17 sites is genuinely remarkable, and it shows in the resort's Good Sam 10/10/10 rating — a perfect score achieved by only six resorts in all of Florida. The property is owned by a small South Florida company rather than a national chain, and the attention shows. DeSoto County's ranch and citrus country puts the Peace River, Arcadia's antique district, and the Gulf beaches within reach. Winter is decisively the season. Book well ahead for January through March.

Joy Bamboo Forest Farm

Joy Bamboo Forest Farm in Sebring, Florida, is a distinctive camping experience in Highlands County surrounded by the lush tropical character of Asper bamboo — a unique Florida farm campground with full-hookup RV sites and the small, intimate atmosphere of a working farm in the Lake Placid and Sebring lake country where the bamboo grove's visual density and its tropical microclimate give the campground an aesthetic identity unlike any other Florida camping destination in the subtropical inland lake region. Sebring's Highlands County position on US-27 south of Lake Wales gives the farm its specific south-central Florida character of an agricultural county known for the Sebring International Raceway, the citrus groves, and the most intact subtropical hardwood hammock landscape in the Florida Highlands' lake district between the Kissimmee Prairie and the Lake Okeechobee watershed. Full-hookup RV sites and small-scale farm campground accommodations in the Asper bamboo grove give Joy Bamboo Forest Farm the distinctive tropical farm camping character of a Highlands County property whose bamboo canopy and the working farm setting give guests the specific natural immersion that the conventional Florida campground's developed landscape does not provide — the bamboo grove's density and the farm's intimate scale give the Sebring campground the curated natural atmosphere of a property that the owner's specific agricultural and horticultural investment in the Asper bamboo has created as a genuinely distinctive camping environment. Pets are welcome. Highlands Hammock State Park, five miles northwest of Sebring on CR-634 in Highlands County, is one of Florida's oldest and most biologically significant state parks — a 9,000-acre old-growth subtropical hardwood hammock, cypress swamp, and pine flatwoods complex that Governor Doyle Carlton dedicated in 1931 as one of Florida's original four state parks. The park's ancient cypress trees (estimated at 1,000 years in the oldest specimens), the 8-mile tram tour through the swamp, and the Spanish moss-draped live oak hammock canopy give Highlands Hammock the specific character of an old-growth Florida swamp forest that the 90 years of state protection have preserved in a landscape where most comparable old-growth hammock has been cleared. Sebring International Raceway, two miles east of downtown Sebring on US-98 in Highlands County, hosts the 12 Hours of Sebring — one of the world's oldest and most prestigious endurance automobile races, held annually in March as the first round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The 12 Hours' history since 1952, the challenging airfield course, and the international manufacturer entries from Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette, and Acura give Sebring the specific motorsports heritage of an endurance racing event that only Le Mans exceeds in age and prestige in the global sports car racing calendar. Joy Bamboo Forest Farm serves guests year-round in Highlands County's subtropical Florida climate, where the mild winters from November through March sustain the snowbird and Florida lake country visitor market and the spring and summer months give the bamboo grove's tropical character its most lush and visually dramatic seasonal presence. Lake Placid, 10 miles south of Sebring on US-27 in Highlands County, is the "Caladium Capital of the World" — the source of 95 percent of the caladium bulbs sold in the United States, giving the Peace River watershed's lake community its specific agricultural heritage and the Caladium Festival's late July celebration of the ornamental plant industry. Reserve sites ahead for the 12 Hours of Sebring race week and the winter snowbird season.

Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a clubhouse, a pavilion, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, and on-site recycling round it out. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. An outdoor pool, walking trails, horseshoes, live music, and boat rentals fill the calendar, with kayaking, fishing, biking, hiking, and birding along the river. Golf and the Gulf beaches are nearby.

A heated outdoor pool, two hot tubs, and a spa anchor daily recreation, with a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, library, craft room, and pavilion besides. Pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard, billiards, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, biking, a pond, dog park, and picnicking fill the grounds, with fishing, live music, and a well-organized social calendar through the season.

Polk County's citrus and lake country is a legitimate alternative to the more crowded coastal snowbird destinations — quieter, less expensive, and genuinely scenic, with Crooked Lake at the door. Winter is decisively the season in Florida's 55-plus communities. January through March fills with snowbirds. Book well ahead for those months, with far easier availability through the summer.
