RV rental Wildwood, FL: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

True to its reputation as a city at the crossroads, Wildwood has several RV parks within its boundaries. Some of the local motorhome sites you might want to consider are Wildwood RV Village and Three Flags RV Campground. Adult-only groups of travelers may want to check Lake Deaton RV Park and Villager RV Park. All have full hookup sites, most have hot showers, and some have heated pools. For an overnight stay somewhere safe without the frills, get the store manager's approval at the Walmart stores in The Villages, the closest from Wildwood, for overnight parking in their lot. Look a bit farther from the city and plenty of choices open up in Lake Panasoffkee, Summerfield and Bushnell, all within half an hour's drive by travel trailer rental in Wildwood. You don’t have to leave town, however, to buy gas and groceries as numerous gas stations and several shops are available within Wildwood, with a few of them open 24/7. For a taste of state park camping, bring your Wildwood RV rental to Lake Griffin State Park where you’ll find water, electric, and sewer hookups in some sites. Discover Lake Griffin's marshes on a canoe or a kayak rental, or join one of the guided canoe, kayak, or pontoon boat tours. Keep your eyes peeled for bobcats, coyotes, and even bears.

A bit of old world Florida lingers in Wildwood. Let the Baker House and its wooden craftsmanship and stained glass windows transport you to simpler times. Baker House was the home of Senator David Hume Baker who also served in the Civil War. Little change has been made over the years so the house looks mostly the same as it was in the late 19th century. This being Florida, you’ll probably want to encounter alligators from the comfort of your Wildwood rental RV or up close. Wildwood has a special place for alligators rescued from being euthanized and from being made into leather goods. Step inside this place to take pictures with some of their largest reptiles, or if you’re cold-blooded enough, hold a small alligator under the watchful eye of a guide. Hop on the Wildwood Circulator to sample the city's culinary offerings. Expect to be served Southern eats, BBQ, and grill fare, and with both coasts not far away, seafood (including oysters and catfish). On top of American comfort food, there's also a smattering of Mexican, Italian, and Chinese staples. Or you can be adventurous and ask for gator meat. Some portions of Sumter County, to which Wildwood belongs, was once part of the original Seminole Indian reservation whose resistance led to the Second Seminole War beginning in 1835. Only two members of the US Army Infantry under the command of Maj. Francis Dade survived a pivotal battle near present-day Bushnell. The Dade Battlefield Park marks this historic event with a museum, monuments, and plaques that retell the story. A reenactment is staged on the battle's anniversary. Wildwood is more than just a place to pass through as you hurry on to other destinations. Dig deeper and you’ll be charmed by its unpretentious character. When you’ve had your fill, search for an RV rental in Wildwood and put it to good use. When you’re at major crossroads, you’d be missing out if you don’t.
