Quick Overview

Florida, New York sits in the heart of Orange County, where rolling hills meet the Appalachian foothills just an hour northwest of Manhattan. This small town of around 3,000 residents offers RV campers a peaceful escape from the metropolitan chaos while keeping city attractions within striking distance. The area's rich history dates back to colonial times, with several historic sites and antique shops scattered throughout the countryside.

RV camping options here include several campgrounds and parks, all of which are privately operated facilities with varying amenities. You won't find any free camping options among the some available spots, but the paid parks typically offer full hookups and modern conveniences. Most facilities cater to both short-term travelers and seasonal guests, with several parks offering monthly rates for snowbirds and extended-stay visitors.

From your campsite in Florida, you're perfectly positioned to explore the Hudson Valley's attractions without the premium prices of closer-to-NYC locations. The nearby Warwick Drive-In Theatre, one of the few remaining drive-ins in the region, makes for a classic evening out. Historic Warwick sits just 10 minutes south, offering antique shopping, farm-to-table restaurants, and the popular Warwick Valley Winery. Apple picking season brings crowds to nearby orchards like Pennings Farm Market, while winter offers access to Mountain Creek Resort for skiing and snowboarding.

The camping scene here suits RVers who want full amenities without resort-style pricing. Most parks offer 30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer hookups, along with WiFi and cable TV connections. Several facilities welcome big rigs with pull-through sites accommodating coaches up to 45 feet. The area doesn't cater much to boondockers or primitive camping enthusiasts, as the focus remains on convenience and comfort for travelers exploring the greater Hudson Valley region.

Summer and early fall represent peak season, with leaf-peeping crowds arriving in late September through mid-October. Spring offers mild weather and fewer tourists, making it ideal for exploring local attractions without the summer rush. Winter camping is possible but limited, as some seasonal parks close from November through March.

Our directory below covers all available RV parks and campgrounds in the Florida area, helping you find the perfect base camp for your Hudson Valley adventure.

Traveling to Florida by RV

Interstate 84 provides the main access route to Florida, New York, with Exit 5 (Route 17A) putting you right into town. The drive along I-84 through Orange County offers scenic views of the Shawangunk Mountains to the north, especially beautiful during fall foliage season. Route 17A itself is RV-friendly with wide lanes and gentle curves, though watch for increased traffic during apple season weekends.

From the west, Route 6 offers a more scenic alternative through Sterling Forest State Park, but this route includes some steep grades and tight curves that might challenge larger rigs. Stick to I-84 if you're pulling a big trailer or driving a Class A over 35 feet. The New York State Thruway (I-87) connects easily to I-84 for those coming from Albany or New York City.

Fuel up before reaching the immediate Florida area, as gas stations are limited in this rural section. The Love's Travel Stop at Exit 4 on I-84 offers RV-friendly diesel pumps and a large parking area for maneuvering bigger rigs. For supplies, the ShopRite in nearby Middletown provides full grocery services with an RV-accessible parking lot.

RV travelers should note that many local roads in Orange County feature low-hanging tree branches and narrow shoulders. State Route 94 north toward Warwick is generally fine for RVs, but avoid shortcuts through residential areas or unmarked country roads. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, though some valleys may have weak spots for Verizon customers.
