The peaceful, small city of Newberry, Florida sits in the middle of Alachua County, slightly west of Gainesville and a bit south of Lake City. Newberry is a place that resembled the Old West in its early days due to it being mainly a railway city. This peace vanished when soft-rock phosphorous was discovered in the area, leading to a boom in mining and cementing Newberry as a mining city.

If you're looking to book an RV in Newberry, you'll discover a classic, quiet American city nestled in nature which is also close enough to bigger cities, giving visitors plenty to enjoy. There are lots of state parks and wildlife refuges in the area, as well as opportunities to have a high-class meal or partake in some much-needed retail therapy.

Discover Newberry


The Great Outdoors

There's plenty of nature to explore when you consider a camper rental in Newberry. One of the gorgeous state parks in the area is Osceola National Forest. Activities like horseback riding, hunting, and fishing await tourists, meaning there's something for everyone. Visitors are welcome to go for a stroll through the longleaf pines and cypress trees while enjoying the famous Florida sunshine, spotting critters such as woodpeckers and deer. There are various trails lined with boardwalks so you can walk around the forest without getting lost or getting your shoes muddy.

Another good outdoor attraction close by when you rent an RV in Newberry is Watermelon Pond Wildlife and Environmental Area. This small park, located within Newberry city limits, was set up to protect gopher tortoises and is also home to species such as fox squirrels and eastern indigo snakes. Recreational activities include archery, small game hunting, and hiking. This area is perfect if you want to experience some nature unique to Alachua County when you have a campervan rental in Newberry.

If forests and ponds aren't for you, you can always try your luck at the marshy Mallory Swamp Wildlife Management Area. As you'd imagine, this park has swampy terrain, including peat bogs and cypress swamps which are home to wildlife such as storks, boars, and deer. Feel free to bring your four-legged friend along for a much-needed walk, or enjoy a spot of freshwater or saltwater fishing -- just mind the alligators if you do.

RV Parks

If you're looking to rent an RV in Newberry, then you might consider Travelers Campground in nearby Alachua. Close to the University of Florida, this campground gives you easy access to Gainesville. Travelers Campground is composed of roughly 60 grass sites. This campground is fairly small, so reservations are recommended. All sites have full hookups with 30 and 50 amp electric. There's WiFi for overnight stays as well as activities such as horseshoes and swimming.

If you're trying to find something a bit farther away from Gainesville when searching for a place to stay with the motorhome rental from Newberry, you might want to try Williston Crossings RV Resort in Williston. Williston Crossings is a 55+ resort, with hundreds of paved sites available. Every site has full hookups, supporting 30 and 50 amp electric. There are plenty of extras available at this park, including Wi-Fi and cable TV, and propane is available on site.

Exploring the City

One of the best attractions located within Newberry city limits is the historic Dudley Farm. A state park, museum, and working farm rolled into one, Dudley Farm is a perfect place to spend the day with the family. As a working farm, Dudley Farm operates as it would have during the turn of the 20th century, with staff dressing in period clothing and performing traditional chores. This gives visitors a rare insight into farming and life during this period. There's also a converted farmhouse turned visitor's center if you want to learn more about the Dudley family.

Newberry is a fairly small town that contains the essentials such as groceries and gas, so it may be worth branching out to nearby Gainesville when you rent an RV if you want to experience some fine dining or shopping. If you love history and enjoyed your visit to Dudley Farms, you might want to stop by the Florida Museum of Natural History. There are many interesting exhibitions on display here, including a vast collection of fossils discovered throughout Florida. One highly recommended exhibition is the Butterfly Rainforest. This exhibition contains hundreds of free-flying butterflies and birds within an indoor rainforest environment, which makes fascinating viewing and is a must-see when visiting the museum.

If you're traveling with youngsters, you might want to take a break from the historical stuff and take them to something they'll love -- like Depot Park. This park offers a huge kid's play area, as well as a splash zone called the Blue Grotto, perfect for adults and kids to relax and cool off. There's even a museum, the Cade Museum of Invention and Creativity, which boasts lots of interactive and wacky exhibits for all ages.
