Camping
The itinerary includes organized campsites where you can stay during your trip. Almost all campsites have a reservation system, so we recommend that you take care in advance to take a place (especially if you are traveling during the season).
Also, if you wish, you can stay for a day in absolutely any place where you can stop (except private property and places with forbidding signs). Therefore, this can also be practiced. Here we will indicate the recommended options for paid campsites. There is also an application for finding free places to spend the night - park4night.
Dirty and clean water
To drain dirty water and refuel a new one, it is not necessary to stop at an organized campsite – such (free) places are available at every second gas station, and sometimes they are found along the curb in rest stops. You can fill the water tank at any gas station, there is a faucet almost everywhere.
Weather in Florida and the best time for a trip
The best time to visit Florida is during the spring and autumn months when the weather is at its most pleasant. From March to May and from September to November, temperatures are warm but not overly hot, making outdoor activities and sightseeing more enjoyable. During these months, the average temperature ranges from +20 to +28 degrees Celsius, perfect for beach days, exploring parks, and city strolls without the intense summer heat or high humidity (but still we suggest buying sunscreen with the highest spf and taking water everywhere with you).

Winter in Florida is mild, with temperatures averaging from +15 to +20 degrees, making it a popular escape from colder northern climates. Summers, however, can be hot and humid, with temperatures often reaching +30 degrees or more, accompanied by frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Also Florida has its own rainy season, which lasts from June to September. At this time, the weather can be extremely unstable due to cyclones and a special geographical location.

Visiting during spring or autumn allows you to enjoy Florida’s beautiful weather with fewer crowds and more comfortable conditions.
