Who doesn’t love a campsite right on the beach? Luckily for RV owners, there are RV parks on the beach! You can camp on the beach in Florida at one of these 12 RV parks.

Check out these 12 beautiful campgrounds and RV parks where you can camp right on the beach in Florida in your motorhome, fifth wheel, trailer, or even tent.

Beach Camping

Wake up to the sound and smell of the ocean every day right from your own beachfront campsite!

They exist all over the Florida coastline, but not everyone knows about them.

Using AllStays, I reviewed the RV campgrounds along the Florida coast to identify which ones will let you camp your camper right on the sand and let the lull of the waves put you to sleep.

Enjoy the fresh air and all that the beach has to offer.

These RV sites are not just waterfront, they are right on the sandy beach.

Florida has a ton of other, fabulous campgrounds that are bay front, marsh front, by the ocean, across the street, and other locations, but the ones selected here will let you build a sand castle right at your trailer’s door and then go surfing in the ocean waves within a few steps.

We also camped right on the beach in an RV on the Texas coast at Port Aransas. Camping on the beach at Port Aransas for SandFest was a blast!

If you know of others to add where you can camp on the beach in Florida, please add a comment and I’ll add it to the list.

Campsite Identification

I started with a large map of Florida RV campgrounds using AllStays:

From there, I reviewed all locations and added them to a Google map. 

This is a map of campgrounds in Florida that have RV campsites that are directly on the beach.

You can click to enlarge the map, navigate around it, and zoom in and out, just like as if you were using Google Maps.

You can click on the map to see the name of the location as well as the website for each campground.

If you don’t have your own RV, you can easily rent one from many private owners.

There are so many different options to choose from, including luxurious Class A motorhomes, smaller Class C motorhomes, and campervans that you can drive across Florida.

If you have a tow vehicle, you can also rent fifth wheel or travel trailers, or even cute little vintage campers that are small enough to be pulled by a regular sized passenger car.

Starting in the northeastern part of Florida and moving clockwise around the Florida state peninsula, the full list of campgrounds where you can camp on the beach in Florida are:
