Traveling to Tierra Verde by RV

Reaching Tierra Verde requires crossing the Pinellas Bayway (State Road 679), a toll bridge system connecting the mainland to the barrier islands. RVs of all sizes can navigate this route, though you'll pay tolls at multiple points along the way. The bayway handles big rigs without issues - no height or weight restrictions that'll cause problems. From I-275, take Exit 17 (54th Avenue South) and follow the signs toward Fort De Soto Park. The entire route is well-marked and RV-friendly, with wide shoulders and gentle curves. No overnight parking is allowed on the bayway itself, and there aren't any rest areas between the mainland and the park. Plan your fuel stops before crossing - the nearest gas stations are back on the mainland in St. Petersburg. During peak season (winter months), traffic can back up at the toll plazas, especially on weekends. The final stretch into Fort De Soto Park features a straight, wide road that easily accommodates large motorhomes and travel trailers.
