How we source and verify Florida camping facts
Updated 2026-10-18
Where facts come from
Rules and limits — booking windows, stay limits, fees, RV lengths and seasons — come from the managing agency's own pages, starting with Florida State Parks (Florida Department of Environmental Protection). Recreation.gov facility pages are used for federal campgrounds.
Availability, prices, photos, site lists and guest ratings come from booking partners' listing feeds (Florida State Parks, Recreation.gov, Campspot, KOA, Hipcamp). Those facts are labelled as listing facts and name the provider.
Regions follow US Census county lines. Age-restricted (55+) communities are not listed. Distances are straight-line unless an official source gives a drive.
How we verify
Every official fact is read on the agency page and stored with that page's URL and the date we checked it. Pages show the source next to the fact, and the checked date in the source list.
If no source we use states a fact, the page says "Not listed" — we don't estimate it.
When sources disagree, the agency's own page wins over Recreation.gov site data, and both win over a booking listing. An official RV limit caps the longest site a listing shows.
Updates and corrections
Listing facts refresh automatically from partner feeds. Official facts are re-checked when we work on the pages that use them; there is no fixed review schedule, which is why every source carries its own checked date.
If an official page changes, it wins: confirm rules on the agency's site before you go, and confirm availability and price on the booking site.
Money and independence
Bookings are completed on each campground's or partner's own site. We may earn a commission from some partner links. Sponsored placements, if any are ever sold, are labelled; none are running on this site now. Payment never changes official facts, filters or the order of hub tables.
Photos come from listings or are credited where shown.
Open data
Every fact we publish carries a link to its source. When no source we use states something, we leave it out rather than guess. Live availability and prices come straight from the booking provider when you search dates.
