Campgrounds near Alturas, Florida
Alturas is a small rural community in southeastern Polk County, Florida, sitting between Bartow and Lake Wales in the Lakeland-Winter Haven metro area. The surrounding landscape is defined by citrus groves, ranch land, and a chain of freshwater lakes, which makes it a practical central-Florida base for RV travelers who want lake access without the crowds of Orlando or Tampa.
RV parks close to Alturas include Good Life RV Resort, Lake Wales Campground, Camp Central RV Park South, Camp Central RV Park North, and Camp Inn RV Resort. These are private, full-hookup properties oriented toward RV renters, snowbirds, and families. State Road 60 runs along the north side of the community, connecting quickly to Bartow, Lake Wales, and, further east, the Lake Kissimmee area.
Day-trip options from an Alturas basecamp are strong. LEGOLAND Florida in Winter Haven, Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, and the historic downtown of Bartow are all within a short drive, and Orlando theme parks and Gulf Coast beaches are reachable as longer day trips.
Things to do near Alturas
Lake Kissimmee State Park sits east of Alturas and is a natural anchor for outdoor days. The park has more than 13 miles of hiking trails through pine flatwoods and marsh, an observation tower with a view of Lake Kissimmee, a boat ramp and marina, and a living-history cow camp that interprets Florida's 1876-era cow-hunter heritage. Note that the state park campground has been closed for a renovation project, so verify status with Florida State Parks before planning a stay.
On the water, boaters can access Lake Kissimmee and the wider Kissimmee Chain of Lakes for bass fishing and wildlife viewing. Paddlers have the 10-mile Buster Island Paddling Trail, a state-designated route that encircles Buster Island.
Family attractions nearby include LEGOLAND Florida Resort in Winter Haven and Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales. Bartow, just up State Road 60, has a historic downtown with local shops and restaurants.

Central Florida runs on a wet-season, dry-season pattern rather than four sharp seasons. The dry season, roughly late October through May, is the busiest RV window. Days are warm, humidity is lower, and mosquitoes are more manageable. At Lake Kissimmee State Park, the marina camp store that rents kayaks and canoes is open November through April, and cow-camp living history programs run on weekends in the cooler months.
June through September is the wet season. Summer afternoons bring heavy thunderstorms, high humidity, and the peak of Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through November 30. Storms can force short-notice closures at state parks and coastal parks, so watch NOAA and National Hurricane Center advisories when booking in this window.
Winter is the peak snowbird season across Polk County. Private RV resorts near Alturas fill with long-stay guests from December through March, so early reservations are important.

How to book near Alturas
Private RV parks near Alturas, including Good Life RV Resort, Lake Wales Campground, Camp Central RV Park South, Camp Central RV Park North, and Camp Inn RV Resort, book directly through each property's website or by phone. Winter sites go fast: for a January through March stay, reserve several months out, and expect minimum-stay requirements at the busiest resorts.
For Lake Kissimmee State Park, reservations run through the Florida State Parks reservation website or by calling 800-326-3521. Florida residents can book up to 11 months in advance and non-residents up to 10 months in advance. Primitive, equestrian, and youth group sites are reserved directly through the park ranger station at 863-696-1112. Maximum RV length at the main campground is 55 feet, and campers should confirm current campground status before booking due to an ongoing renovation project.
What to expect on the ground
Private RV resorts near Alturas typically offer paved or gravel pads with full hookups, laundry, pools, and organized activities aimed at snowbird guests. Sites tend to be closer together than at a state park, and many properties skew toward adult and 55-plus travelers in winter, so families booking during peak season should ask about site placement and amenities.
At Lake Kissimmee State Park, sites have water and 30-amp electric hookups but no sewer at the pad; a dump station is on-site. Cell service and internet inside the park are limited or unavailable, so download maps and reservations ahead of time.
Expect warm sun, afternoon thunderstorms in summer, and abundant wildlife: alligators live in area lakes and canals, so keep pets leashed and away from shorelines.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Alturas, FL
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Alturas, FL?
RV rental in Alturas, FL is one of the best values in Central Florida. On RVezy, travel trailers typically average $90 to $150 per night and motorhomes range from $150 to $275 per night. Because Alturas sits in rural Polk County between Bartow and Lake Wales, you often find cheaper RV rental Alturas options than near Orlando or Tampa, even though theme parks are under an hour away. To save more, book Sunday through Thursday, look for weekly discounts that many hosts offer, and travel in late spring or early fall to avoid snowbird-season pricing. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book to lock in popular rigs before winter visitors arrive.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Alturas,FloridaDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Alturas, FL?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Alturas, FL. Florida law specifically exempts recreational vehicles used for personal travel from any Commercial Driver's License (CDL) requirement, no matter the size, so even a 35-foot Class A motorhome rental Alturas is fair game with your everyday license. On RVezy, the only other requirement is being 25 or older, and your ID is confirmed securely through the platform during booking. Visiting from outside the United States? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP), available from your local auto club for under $25. That's it, you're cleared to hit the road.
flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/What protection comes with my RV rental in Alturas, FL?
Every RVezy booking in Alturas, FL includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered from the moment you pull out of the driveway. The protection plan covers eligible damage to the RV and gives you real financial peace of mind, which matters when you are driving an unfamiliar rig down State Road 60 or through Bartow for the first time. During checkout you choose from multiple protection levels so you can pick the coverage that fits your comfort and budget. First time renting an RV in Alturas? Many guests choose a mid-tier plan for extra cushion. Either way, RVezy support is available around the clock during your trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Alturas RV trip?
Booking your Alturas RV trip is low-risk because RVezy, not the individual host, sets the cancellation policy. Your refund depends on how far out you are from your trip start date at the time of cancellation. Hurricane season in Central Florida runs June through November, and RVezy support reviews weather-related and emergency cancellations on a case-by-case basis. You will see the exact cancellation terms that apply to your booking during checkout before you confirm, so you know what to expect. Book with confidence and finalize your dates with peace of mind.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Alturas, FL?
Yes, pet-friendly RV rental Alturas options are easy to find on RVezy. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter to see rigs whose hosts welcome four-legged passengers. Polk County is a great dog destination too: Loyce E. Harpe Park in Mulberry has shaded trails, Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland allows leashed dogs on its trails, and Lake Kissimmee State Park welcomes leashed pets in the campground and on most trails. Pack a long leash, plenty of fresh water (Central Florida heat is no joke), and a towel for sandy paws after lake swims. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any size notes.
floridastateparks.org/learn/pets-state-parksCan the RV be delivered to my campground or rental property in Alturas?
Yes, RV delivery Alturas is one of the smartest ways to start your trip, especially if you're new to towing or driving a big rig. Many RVezy hosts in the Bartow, Lake Wales, and Winter Haven area will deliver the RV right to your campsite at places like Camp Mack on Lake Kissimmee or Bartow Good Life RV Resort, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see hosts who offer this, then message them with your campground address to get an exact quote. It's the easiest way to skip the learning curve and go straight to s'mores.
visitcentralflorida.org/How far can I drive on my Alturas RV trip, and is unlimited mileage available?
You have plenty of road to roam on your Alturas RV trip. Many RVezy hosts offer 100 to 150 free miles per night, and some list RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is perfect for longer Florida loops. From Alturas you are about 25 miles to Lakeland, 55 miles to Tampa, 60 miles to Orlando's theme parks, 90 miles to Gulf Coast beaches at Clearwater, and roughly 200 miles to the Florida Keys gateway in Homestead. Extra miles, when needed, typically run $0.30 to $0.50 each. Pro tip: filter by Unlimited Mileage on RVezy if you are planning a multi-stop trip from Alturas through Sanibel or down to the Everglades.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Alturas,FloridaWhere are the best campgrounds near Alturas, FL?
You are surrounded by terrific RV camping Alturas options within a 30-minute drive. Bartow RV Resort on State Road 60 is one of the closest full-hookup parks, with a pool and shaded sites. Camp Mack, A Guy Harvey Lodge near Lake Wales (about 20 minutes east) gives you direct Kissimmee Chain of Lakes access for world-class bass fishing. Lake Kissimmee State Park offers full-facility sites with water and electric, plus access to scenic hiking trails. Cypress Campground and RV Park in Winter Haven puts you minutes from LEGOLAND. Reserve state park sites through floridastateparks.org up to 11 months ahead.
floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/lake-kissimmee-state-parkWhen is the best time to rent an RV in Alturas, FL?
The sweet spot for an Alturas RV trip is mid-October through late April, when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 70 to 80 degree Fahrenheit range and humidity drops dramatically. This is also snowbird season, so book your motorhome rental Alturas at least 2 to 3 months ahead for January and February. Summer (June to September) brings 90-plus degree days, high humidity, and near-daily afternoon thunderstorms, but you'll find the lowest rates and last-minute availability. Spring (March to early May) is the local insider's pick: warm lake water, blooming citrus groves around Alturas, and far thinner crowds than the winter peak. Pack rain gear and you're set year-round.
weather.gov/tbw/I've never rented an RV before. How does it work in Alturas?
First time renting an RV in Alturas? You're going to love how supported the process is. After you book on RVezy, your host messages you to coordinate pickup or delivery, then gives you a full walkthrough at the start of your trip, covering propane, water, slide-outs, the generator, and dump procedures. You're never handed keys and left to figure it out alone. Polk County's flat terrain and wide rural roads (Highway 17 and State Road 60) make Alturas one of the gentler places in Florida to learn. Pro tip: book a smaller Class C motorhome or campervan rental Alturas for your first trip, they drive much like a large van and park easily at most campgrounds.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/rv-safetyWhat happens if something breaks down during my RV trip from Alturas?
Take a breath, you are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance, so if you get a flat on State Road 60, lose power at your campsite at Lake Kissimmee, or have a mechanical issue between Alturas and your destination, one phone call gets help dispatched. Your host is also typically just a text away for quick fixes, like resetting the inverter or relighting the water heater. For non-emergency questions, RVezy support is available around the clock through the app. Pro tip: snap photos of the RV exterior and key gauges during your walkthrough so any issue is documented from the start.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityCan I take my Alturas RV rental out of state or into Canada?
In most cases, yes. Many RVezy hosts in Alturas allow interstate travel for an RV road trip from Alturas to Georgia's Okefenokee, South Carolina's Hilton Head, or even up the Blue Ridge Parkway. Cross-border trips into Canada are sometimes allowed depending on the host and the insurance terms, so message the host directly before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because the protection plan does not extend south of the border. Popular multi-state loops from Alturas include the Gulf Coast run toward New Orleans and the Atlantic Coast drive up to Savannah. Confirm your route in writing through the RVezy messaging system.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat's the fuel budget for an RV trip from Alturas?
Florida gas prices in Polk County typically run a bit below the national average, hovering around $3.10 to $3.40 per gallon for regular at stations like the Wawa and RaceTrac along U.S. 17 and State Road 60. Most Class C motorhomes get 8 to 10 miles per gallon (MPG), travel trailers don't burn fuel themselves but drop your tow vehicle to 10 to 12 MPG, and campervans like Class B Sprinters can reach 16 to 18 MPG. For a week-long 600-mile loop from Alturas through Orlando, Tampa, and back, budget roughly $200 to $250 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: download GasBuddy to find the cheapest diesel along Interstate 4 before you fuel up.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Alturas?
For peak winter months (December through March), book Florida State Parks like Lake Kissimmee up to 11 months ahead through the floridastateparks.org reservation portal. Private parks like Camp Mack, Bartow RV Resort, and Cypress Campground often fill 2 to 3 months out for winter weekends but typically have midweek openings just days ahead. Summer and shoulder seasons are much easier, often bookable a week or two in advance. Pro tip: if your dream state park site shows sold out, check back frequently because cancellations near Alturas pop up daily, especially on weekdays.
floridastateparks.org/rv-campingWhat are local driving conditions like around Alturas?
You'll find driving around Alturas refreshingly easy. Polk County is flat, the rural roads (U.S. 17, State Road 60, and County Road 555) are wide with generous shoulders, and traffic is light outside of Bartow and Lakeland rush hours. Watch for sudden afternoon thunderstorms from June through September that can drop heavy rain in minutes, just pull off and wait 20 minutes for it to pass. Interstate 4 between Tampa and Orlando is the main hazard zone, especially weekday afternoons, so time your departures for mid-morning. Wildlife crossings (deer and the occasional sandhill crane) are most active at dawn and dusk on rural stretches. Local insider tip: use the Polk Parkway toll road to bypass Lakeland congestion.
fdot.gov/traffic/How do summer heat and hurricanes affect RV camping in Alturas?
Central Florida summers are warm and stormy, but absolutely doable in an RV. Daytime highs sit in the upper 80s to low 90s Fahrenheit June through September with heavy humidity, so confirm your RV has working air conditioning (almost all on RVezy do) and plan for 30-amp or 50-amp shore power at your campground to run it comfortably. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, with peak risk in August and September. Track the National Hurricane Center forecast and book trips with weather-aware flexibility in mind. Pro tip: drive in the cool morning hours, settle into your campsite by early afternoon, and spend afternoons swimming at Lake Kissimmee or floating the Peace River.
nhc.noaa.gov/What hookups and amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Alturas?
Most private RV parks within 30 minutes of Alturas, like Bartow Good Life, Camp Mack, and Cypress Campground, offer full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, and sewer) plus Wi-Fi, laundry, and a pool. Florida State Parks such as Lake Kissimmee provide water and electric at sites but use centralized dump stations rather than sewer hookups at each pad, with restrooms and hot showers nearby. Dump stations are easy to find: Bartow Good Life and the Pilot truck stop in Lake Wales both have public dump access. Pro tip: top off fresh water before you leave the campground because rural fill stations between Alturas and remote sites are sparse.
floridastateparks.org/rv-campingWhat's inside the RVs available for rent in Alturas?
RVezy listings in Alturas range from compact campervans to family-sized fifth wheels, and every rig is a real owner's personal vehicle, so it's stocked and trip-ready. Expect at minimum a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave), a bathroom with shower and toilet, sleeping for 2 to 8 depending on the size, roof-mounted air conditioning, a furnace, and a generator or shore power hookup. Many include a TV, Bluetooth speakers, and outdoor seating; some have Wi-Fi boosters, solar panels, or bike racks. Seatbelts are present for all designated travel passengers, important if you're planning a family RV trip Alturas style. Use the filters on RVezy to match sleeps count, slide-outs, and add-ons to your trip.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/rv-safetyWhat add-ons and options can I get with my Alturas RV rental?
RVezy hosts in Alturas frequently offer add-ons that take the work out of your trip: bedding and linen packages ($30 to $75), kitchen kits with pots and dishes ($25 to $50), outdoor camp chairs and tables, generators, bike racks, kayak racks, and propane refills. Delivery and setup at a Polk County campground typically runs $2 to $4 per mile each way. Pickup and dropoff windows are usually flexible (most hosts allow 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.), and many offer late returns for a small fee. Mileage policies vary by listing, so check the listing page or message the host. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a linen package on your first trip, it costs less than a hotel and saves hours.
visitcentralflorida.org/How does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment for your RV rental in Alturas, FL is handled entirely through the secure RVezy platform: no cash, no checks, and no money changes hands with the host directly. You pay the booking total (rental, fees, and your chosen protection plan) with a credit or debit card when you book. A refundable security deposit, typically a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the rig, is pre-authorized on your card before pickup and released after the trip once the RV is returned in the same condition. To avoid any deposit issues, do a thorough video walkthrough at pickup and again at dropoff with the host.
