Discover Gibsonton RV rentals for memorable road trips
Gibsonton, Florida is a small town just south of East Tampa on Highway 41, on the coast of Tampa Bay. This little city has deep roots in the circus community; it’s been a popular winter home for many a carnival worker during the off-season. The Ringling Circus had various winter homes in the area over the years and this brought a variety of characters and creatures to this otherwise quiet Florida coastal town. This slightly circus-y city is a fun destination for both young and old Gibsonton RV rental travelers. Its close proximity to big city Tampa and some surrounding preserves and state parks make it a great destination for your next RV rental vacation. Book an RV rental in Gibsonton and see what “Gibtown” has to offer.

City Attractions
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a circus city, so a visit with the Gibsonton RV rental probably wouldn’t be complete without checking out the Gibtown International Independent Showmen’s Museum. This is a fancy name for a pretty neat carnival museum. There are antique equipment displays, exhibits with photos depicting carnivals over the decades, and one of the first Ferris wheels is on display here. Shifting gears in the camper rental by owner in Gibsonton, head a few miles North and experience the Wat Mongkolrata Buddhist Temple. Featuring Thai architecture, chanting monks and hundreds of orchids, a visit here will definitely be a memorable one. Get involved in a meditation workshop, or just wander the lush and intriguing grounds. Visit during the Sunday Market and enjoy authentic Thai food and produce. Dogs are even welcome at the market, just not in the eating area. The Manatee Viewing Center is located just nine miles South of Gibsonton. Check out the environmental education building and learn about manatees and their habitat. Then hike out to the 50-foot observation tower to take in some gorgeous bay views and possibly see some manatee shenanigans. Check with the Manatee Viewing Center for seasonal hours, as they vary depending on the time of year.</span></p>
What’s Unique
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gibsonton is a small town on the edge of action. Historically, this city was home to various carnival characters and their creatures; the city even passed laws allowing elephants and other circus critters to be housed in yards around town. The city is no stranger to snowbirds and those seeking sunshine and sand. The summer vibes are alive here all year long, so get out there in the Gibsonton RV rental and have some fair-style fun.</span></p>
Where to Park It
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The selection of private RV parks in the Gibsonton area is plentiful, especially considering the size of this small town. If state park camping with the Gibsonton RV rental is more your speed, Lithia Spring Park offers RV sites and plenty of recreation. Walmart is right in town, too, if you’d like to keep it close to the city action, but outside of an RV park.</span></p>
