Mike and Jennifer's Favorite Places in Florida – all 3 ebooks!

Campspot Announces the 5 Best RV Campgrounds & More! (2024) 2

We RVers may wander far and wide but it’s true for most of us that we end up with some favorite “Go-To” places – places that draw us back again and again.

Florida is one of those places for us. And we know it is for many RVers looking to get away and explore during the winter. 

That's why we've created three guides, covering Florida's Atlantic Coast, the Gulf Coast, and the Keys. 

Each of these guides is a seven-day guided exploration of one of the coasts. And each stop is a curated view of the best things that we’ve enjoyed on this trip and want you to experience.

Altogether these guides are over 300 pages of content!

The fastest way to get your e-mails tagged as spam and removed from my willingness to continue receiving your e-mails (and/or your website unbookmarked) is to use headlines that FALSLY claim to provide specific information. Campspot e-mails to me are now being tagged as suspicious spam because of a recent e-mail with the purported subject of “Best Toad for RV? RVers share what vehicles THEY tow”. Clicking on the link takes you to a webpage with one paragraph of cutesy comments about toad vehicles vs towed vehicles and, then, directs the reader to another link, which takes the reader to another webpage of many stories and commentaries, but not anything about towed vehicles. The internet is now the playground of deceivers, liars, and thieves. I hope that RV Lifestyle, Campspot, and “Mike” have not succumbed to the same mental illnesses.

Hi Donald, I am looking at our story “Best Toad for RV? RVers share what vehicles THEY tow” – and I see a list of 7 different vehicles. 1. is the Jeep Wrangler…. all the way thru to number 7. Ford Ranger. Respectfully, I don’t think you scrolled through the story (maybe just read the first couple paragraphs??) because it is all there with a list of 7 vehicles most commonly cited. Here is the story: https://rvlifestyle.com/best-toad-for-rv/ – Team RV Lifestyle

The same thing happened when I opened the TOAD email – absolutely nothing about towed vehicles, just other stories. Apparently this is an error in the links in the email.

Thank you for solving this mystery, Nancy! After reading your note we went back and looked, and it turns out we accidentally put the wrong link in that email – human error – please accept our apologizes. Unfortunately no way to undo the email. Thank you for sharing this – We were scratching our heads! Team RV Lifestyle

Thanks so much, Mike and Jen. I notice the parks listed are located heavily east-of-the-Rockies. What factors do you think contribute to that bias? Appreciate your thoughts.

That is a good point, Amy. Campspot uses its internal data to come up with this list – only thing we can think of here is their internal data must have that sort of geographic make up. Would be a good question for Campspot for sure! Team RV Lifestyle
