Just 30 miles from beautiful Tampa, Florida, Wimauma is perfectly situated as a base to explore the popular Tamba Bay area, and everything this part of Florida has to offer. From the big city amenities of Tampa to quaint seaside towns like Tarpon Springs and a wide variety of outdoors activities, Wimauma is a perfect jumping off point to see it all.

Its unique name has an adorable origin, as he combined the first letters of the names of this three daughters, Wilma, Maude, and Mary. You can explore this beautiful area with the added flexibility of a mobile accommodation when you book an RV in Wimauma, Florida.

With water activities abounding, as well as marshlands, grasslands, and forests, there is a wide variety of outdoor activities available in the greater Wimauma area, and all easy drives in your Wimauma camper rental.

Make sure to visit the Little Manatee River State Park. This 2,400-acre reserve is located in the southwest corner of Wimauma and offers an amazing variety of activities including fishing, horseback riding, camping, hiking, wildlife viewing, kayaking, and canoeing. There are camping grounds and primitive facilities for rigs of most sizes, and small watercraft for rent. There are several trails, including some on floating boardwalks. Make sure to bring your bug repellant and sunblock, and enjoy this pretty little spot fully.

In nearby Apollo Beach, Florida, and a short 30-minute drive in your Wimauma RV rental, visit the protected marine reserve, Tampa Electric’s Manatee View Center. There are lovely trails, a butterfly garden, and a 50-foot observation tower. You will not believe what you see, as there are so many manatees in the water, it will amaze you. This endangered water mammal is protected, and interesting information is available about them at the visitors center. There is plenty of parking for your Wimauma rental RV.

The Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve is another great place to visit in your Wimauma motorhome rental. Just a 45-minute drive north via I-75, this nature preserve features picnic areas, more than 60 miles of forested trails, and a pretty river that’s ideal for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The pathways are very well maintained, and there’s plenty of shade, with a lot of wildlife viewing opportunities. The trails also connect to neighboring preserves and parks, expanding the trail system even more.
