This is How You Camp for Free in Florida (ULTIMATE GUIDE)

Florida might be famous for its beaches and theme parks—but hidden behind all that is a surprising secret: FREE CAMPING.

The catch? It’s not your typical “pull up and park” setup.

We spent the winter boondocking across the Sunshine State, and after a lot of trial and error, we cracked the code. In this video, we’re breaking down what to expect, how to book, and how to make free camping in Florida work for you.

Hey there! We're Joe + Kalyn!

As online entrepreneurs, we thought, "why not work from home... on the road"? So in 2019, we bought and renovated a 2005 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel, which took us to every state in the lower 48. But the economy hit our business especially hard after the 'vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs!

We recently funded the biggest RV trip of our lifetime—Alaska. Subscribe to our RV living channel to find out what's next! We love boondocking in remote locations, adventuring through the national parks, and uncovering hidden gems, all while sharing the reality of full-time RV Life and making you laugh along the way.

I can certainly tell Joseph is the editor when the video fast forwards through Kalyn's speech and math symbols are popping up on the screen. That was pretty funny. Love to you both. I am still in Virginia for the next 4 weeks.

10/10 on the quality of production\editing in this video. I honestly don't know of better at your channel size, in any genre.

[BoukenisAdventure]

Great video and content! As a native Floridian, the idea of staying in FL for $21/day during what we call tourist season is fantastic! Travel safe.

[Choooncey]

as a mobile rv technician(with a home location), i appreciate the videos of these kinds of lifestyles succeeding at delivering a quality of life that is enjoyable to experience. It makes my work much more meaningful

[carmancloud]

That is a crazy amount of work gathering all that information and what an awesome resource that is going to be! 👏👍👏

[MilesGo]

Saved!!!! We were just talking about FL and y’all’s winter. I told Greg I need to save all the FL videos for reference.

[cparker]

I'm right there with your wife crunching the numbers!! I loved this video!! You guys did do it for relatively cheap!!! Congrats on the new truck!! that's always one less worry when you're on the road in your own home!!

[shawnbeerens]

That was a great series!! Good job staying in Florida for 4 months for the dollar value that most people spend in a week!! I know you are thinking of a different RV but I'm surprised at how much you boondock with so little solar! The extra batteries will help for sure, have a great next adventure!

[MyBackyardScience]

That was a nice, complete summary of the free camping! If we ever hit the road in an RV, we will definitely reference this video and the future website. That's an excellent idea and a great service! 👍 😀 🌴

[CathyPinAZ]

I was never very interested in camping around Florida until you showed me how! 😂❤ I know the east coast is a hard sell when it comes to inexpensive RVing, but the hard work you both put into all of this is amazing! Great job and thank you for more wonderful content! 😊 I will sign up on your list too. ❤

[richardbas]

It's an absolute pleasure to watch your reports! Always positive and you can't go wrong with me, because you're taking the woofer everywhere! ❤😊

[jodyreavis]

Thanks for sharing Florida and your adventures. Looking forward to the reviews of the boondocking website!

[TrimansWife]

Yep, Florida can be an awesome vacation, even on a budget!! It’s amazing how many people think we are just beaches and alligators.
We leave July 1 and are heading for the mountains of Colorado and Montana for the summer. Cannot wait for cool nights, even in July and August. It will be our first RV trip there!

[cynthiamyers]

A new sponsor! And a great addition to your toolkit. Yay! I never knew Florida had so much free camping.

[theresatyree]

If you are coming through Florence South Carolina. You can Boon dock here, electric, and water in the parking area dry camping in the field. Look for frog town Farms.

Back in the day, camping with my family, going to Florida for a 3-week trip. I was 10, and we would arrive a day early. We would stay at Kmart. Lol, we called it "arrive early, stay over." So I have boondock in the 1970s, cool. Love watching your videos. ❤

[JourneyWithTheKleys]

Yall should really add other states to that list as you travel! Id definitely pay for a that kind of subscription. We are remodeling a new to us rig and hitting the road full time, inspired by you guys and Wild RV
