Wimauma camping overview
Wimauma sits in southern Hillsborough County, about five miles inland from Tampa Bay and a short drive south of Sun City Center. The area gives RV travelers a quiet base between Tampa, Bradenton, and the Gulf beaches, with fast access to I-75 and U.S. 301.
The headline public option is Little Manatee River State Park, whose Little Manatee River is a designated Outstanding Florida Water winding through the park. It is the closest full-facility campground to town and books through the state system. Private RV parks in the immediate area include Sun Lake RV Resort, Lone Pine RV Park, River Oaks RV Resort, and Hidden River RV Resort along the Alafia River corridor to the north.
Most private parks in this corridor lean toward snowbird and 55-plus clientele with long-term sites, so families should confirm short-stay availability before booking. Little Manatee River State Park is the standard choice for shorter, nature-focused RV trips.
Things to do near Wimauma
Paddling and fishing dominate the outdoor calendar. The Little Manatee River, a designated Outstanding Florida Water, winds through the park offering excellent paddling and fishing opportunities, and canoes and kayaks can be rented from the ranger station for float trips down the gentle, shallow river.
On land, hikers can follow a stacked loop trail through the wilderness area of the north half of the park, with additional miles of equestrian and multi-use trails through the southern half. Cyclists and equestrians share those southern trails.
Day trips are easy from Wimauma. Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, Sarasota, and Anna Maria Island are all reachable in under an hour, and the Manatee Viewing Center at the TECO power plant in Apollo Beach is a reliable cold-weather stop for spotting manatees.

The Tampa Bay area has a clear two-season climate: a hot and wet season from May through October, and a mild and dry season from November through April, with nearly two-thirds of the annual precipitation falling from June through September. That pattern shapes every RV trip decision here.
Peak RV season runs late fall through early spring, when highs sit in the 70s and humidity drops. Snowbird traffic fills private parks in Wimauma, Ruskin, and Riverview from January through March, so short-stay sites can be scarce. Advance reservations at Little Manatee River State Park are strongly recommended during peak season since the campground is small, with roughly 30 sites that fill quickly on winter weekends.
Summer brings daily thunderstorms, high heat indices, and mosquitoes. Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November, with peak activity in August and September; check NOAA National Hurricane Center advisories before booking in that window.

Everything worked perfectly! Moises is a great host, he responded to all my questions and calls and even provided his personal camping app, which is a great find if you are into off grid cool safe camping spots to discover. It's not fancy on the outside, but the price is good and all the features are functional.

Excellent Campervan Experience We recently rented a campervan to travel to Savannah and Northern Georgia. We had a great time, thanks to the excellent orientation provided by Morgan. We truly had everything we needed, from a French Press to start our days out right to a comfy bed that accommodated two adults comfortably. It was an amazing experience, with all the comforts of home while still being able to connect with nature. Morgan was a phenomenal host and we can't recommend him highly enough!

How to book near Wimauma
For Little Manatee River State Park, reservations are accepted through the Florida State Parks reservation system. Florida residents may make campsite or cabin reservations up to 11 months in advance of their arrival date, while non-Florida residents may make reservations up to 10 months in advance. New sites become available for reservation daily at 8 a.m. Eastern time, and winter weekends at popular parks often sell out the day they open.
Each campsite is equipped with water and electric hookups featuring 20, 30, and 50 amp service, accommodating everything from tent campers to large RVs. A central bathhouse provides hot showers and flush toilets, with coin-operated laundry facilities adjacent. The campground includes an RV dump station and three ADA-accessible sites with sidewalk access to the bathhouse.
Private parks such as Sun Lake RV Resort, Lone Pine RV Park, River Oaks RV Resort, and Hidden River RV Resort take reservations directly through the operator. Confirm age restrictions, rig length limits, and minimum stays before booking, as several nearby resorts are 55-plus.
What to expect on the ground
Little Manatee River State Park is the most natural setting near Wimauma. The campground's 30 sites are arranged in a loop with good spacing and vegetation providing privacy between neighbors. Most state parks are open 8 a.m. to sundown, 365 days a year, and the ranger station handles check-ins and sells ice and firewood.
Private parks in the corridor skew resort-style. Expect concrete pads, pools, clubhouses, and organized social activities aimed at long-stay residents. Sites can run small at some parks with tight internal roads that require careful maneuvering for larger rigs, though facilities tend to be quiet and staff receive positive marks for cleanliness and service.
Cell coverage on all major carriers is generally strong across the Wimauma area. Bring insect repellent year-round; even in the dry season, mosquitoes and no-see-ums appear near the river at dusk.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Wimauma, FL
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Wimauma, FL?
Renting an RV in Wimauma is affordable compared to traditional rental agencies. On RVezy, towable trailers around Wimauma typically average about $120 to $150 per night, while motorhomes generally run around $200 to $275 per night, and many hosts offer weekly and monthly discounts. For a cheap RV rental in Wimauma, look at pop-up campers and smaller travel trailers, and travel midweek or during the summer shoulder months when demand softens. Florida snowbird season runs January through March, so booking 60 to 90 days ahead helps lock in the best rates for your Wimauma RV trip. Use the Instant Book filter to speed up the process and message hosts directly about long-stay discounts.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wimauma,%20FloridaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Wimauma, FL?
A regular Class E Florida driver's license (or your home state or country equivalent) is all you need to rent an RV in Wimauma. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles does not require a CDL or special endorsement for personal RVs, including Class A motorhomes, Class C motorhomes, fifth wheels, and travel trailers booked through RVezy. To rent on RVezy you generally need to be 25 or older and complete the approved driver verification through the platform. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home license along with an International Driving Permit. Most first-time renters in Wimauma find the process straightforward.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs the RV rental protected if something happens during my trip?
Yes. Every RV rental in Wimauma booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit US-301 or I-75 with real peace of mind. During checkout you choose the protection level that fits your trip, and the plan covers most damage to the vehicle for significant financial protection. You select the coverage, not the host. Whether you're heading to Little Manatee River State Park or planning a longer Florida RV trip, you can focus on the adventure with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Wimauma RV rental?
Booking an RV rental in Wimauma is low-risk because RVezy sets the cancellation policy, not the individual host, and there is a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates with confidence. If life happens, such as hurricane evacuations, illness, or work emergencies, the policy accounts for factors like how far out your trip start is and qualifying natural disasters (especially relevant during Florida's June 1 to November 30 hurricane season). Full details are available in the RVezy Help Center, and customer support is available before, during, and after every trip. Book the RV you love today and finalize plans with breathing room.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Wimauma RV trip?
Yes, pet-friendly RV rental in Wimauma is easy to find. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see many dog-loving hosts in the Wimauma and greater Hillsborough County area. Many hosts ask only that you keep pets off furniture and clean up before drop-off. Once you're on the road, head to Little Manatee River State Park (leashed pets welcome in the campground) or E.G. Simmons Regional Park in nearby Ruskin, which has waterfront sites and pet-friendly trails. Message your host before booking to confirm any pet fees, and bring vaccination records since Florida state parks may ask to see them.
floridastateparks.org/learn/pets-florida-state-parksCan the RV be delivered to me in Wimauma?
Yes, RV delivery in Wimauma is one of the most popular options on RVezy and a great choice if you're new to RVing. Toggle the Delivery filter and you'll find local hosts willing to drop the RV at your campsite, vacation home, or driveway in Wimauma, Sun City Center, Ruskin, or nearby Hillsborough County addresses. They will set up slide-outs, level the rig, connect water, sewer, and electric hookups, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Many also deliver directly to Little Manatee River State Park or Hillsborough River State Park. Delivery fees are typically based on mileage from the host's home base, so booking a host near 33598 helps keep costs down.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wimauma,%20FloridaHow far can I travel from Wimauma in an RV?
You can cover a lot of ground from Wimauma in a motorhome rental thanks to its central Florida location. The Gulf beaches at Anna Maria Island are about 30 miles southwest, Sarasota and Siesta Key sit roughly 45 miles south on I-75, Tampa is about 30 miles north, and Orlando's theme parks are about 75 miles northeast via I-4. For a bigger adventure, the Florida Keys are around 300 miles south and St. Augustine is about 200 miles north. Most RVezy hosts include a daily mileage allowance (often 100 to 150 miles) with extra miles at a small per-mile fee, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage. Confirm the mileage policy on the listing before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wimauma,%20FloridaWhere are the best campgrounds near Wimauma, FL?
There are great options for RV camping near Wimauma. The closest is Little Manatee River State Park in Wimauma itself, with shaded sites offering water and 30-amp electric hookups, perfect for kayaking the blackwater river. Hillsborough River State Park (about 40 minutes north) offers water and electric sites and Florida's only Class II rapids. E.G. Simmons Regional Park in Ruskin (about 10 minutes away) gives you waterfront sites on Tampa Bay. Lake Manatee State Park (about 25 minutes south) has spacious pads with electric hookups. Book Florida state parks up to 11 months ahead through the Florida State Parks reservation system, as they fill fast during snowbird season.
floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/little-manatee-river-state-parkWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip from Wimauma?
The sweet spot for a Wimauma RV trip is late October through April, when daytime highs typically range from the upper 60s to low 80s and humidity drops to comfortable levels. January and February average highs in the low 70s with cool, mosquito-friendlier nights in the low 50s, ideal RV weather. March and April bring warm days in the upper 70s to low 80s that are perfect for Gulf beach trips. Summer (June through September) sees highs near 90 with high heat indexes and daily afternoon thunderstorms, but campgrounds are typically cheaper and quieter. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, so check forecasts and plan flexible dates. For the best weather-to-crowd ratio, book mid-week in February.
weather.gov/tbw/I've never rented an RV before. Will I know what to do?
You'll be in good hands. Every RVezy host in Wimauma provides a hands-on orientation at pickup or delivery, walking you through how to operate the slide-outs, AC, generator, water pump, propane, holding tanks, and dump valves. They will answer questions, share local tips, and many provide a printed cheat sheet or video link to reference later. First time renting an RV? Choose a Class C motorhome or small travel trailer, as they are easier to drive than they look, and book a host who offers delivery so your first time behind the wheel can wait until you're confident. RVezy customer support is available if you need help during your trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360002253133-Renting-an-RVWhat if something breaks down on the road?
You're covered. Every RV rental in Wimauma booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on I-75, a dead battery at Lake Manatee State Park, or a stubborn slide-out near Anna Maria Island is just a phone call away. Roadside help dispatches local pros for towing, tire changes, jump starts, lockouts, and fuel delivery throughout Florida. Your host is also a great first call for quick fixes, as most owners know their RV inside out and can troubleshoot common issues over the phone. Save the RVezy support number to your phone before you leave, then relax and enjoy the drive.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take an RV rented in Wimauma into other states or Canada?
Yes, US interstate trips are fair game with most Wimauma hosts. Popular road trip from Wimauma options include heading north on I-95 toward the Smoky Mountains, west on I-10 to New Orleans (about 685 miles), or south to the Florida Keys (around 300 miles). Travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host and the protection plan you select, so message the host before booking to confirm. One firm rule: travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because the protection plan does not extend across that border. Always confirm your route with the host, and look for listings that include unlimited mileage for longer hauls.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Wimauma RV trip?
Fuel is one of the biggest variables, but it's predictable once you know the numbers. Class C motorhomes around Wimauma typically average 8 to 10 MPG on gas, Class A motorhomes get 6 to 8 MPG, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle (often 10 to 14 MPG). Florida gas prices generally hover around $3.00 to $3.50 per gallon, with Wawa, Buc-ee's, and RaceTrac stations along I-75 and US-301 often the cheapest. For a 5-day, 400-mile loop to Anna Maria Island and back in a Class C, budget roughly $140 to $180 in fuel. Use GasBuddy to find the best prices and fill up before entering toll roads where station prices can be higher.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Wimauma?
For Florida state parks like Little Manatee River, Hillsborough River, and Lake Manatee, you can book up to 11 months ahead through the Florida State Parks reservation system. Prime winter weekends can sell out quickly when the booking window opens. Private parks in and around Wimauma usually take reservations 6 to 12 months out, with snowbird season (January to March) being the tightest. For summer trips, you can often book 2 to 4 weeks ahead with plenty of choice. If your preferred park is full, keep checking, as Florida sites open up regularly due to cancellations, especially mid-week.
floridastateparks.org/learn/reservations-and-cancellation-policiesWhat's it like driving an RV around Wimauma and Tampa Bay?
Driving an RV around Wimauma is refreshingly mellow. US-301 and SR-674 are wide, flat, and rural, ideal for getting comfortable behind the wheel. I-75 and I-275 into Tampa get busier during weekday rush hours (roughly 7 to 9 AM and 4 to 6 PM), so plan to travel midday. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge on I-275 is stunning but exposed to crosswinds, so check the wind advisory before crossing in a tall Class A. Watch for sudden afternoon thunderstorms from June through September and slow down on wet pavement. Avoid low-clearance areas such as historic downtown Tampa parking garages and Ybor City side streets. Many Wimauma hosts deliver right to your campsite if city driving makes you nervous.
fdot.gov/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Wimauma?
Campgrounds around Wimauma are well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Most private parks offer 30/50-amp full hookups (water, sewer, electric), Wi-Fi, laundry, pools, and propane refills on-site. Florida state parks like Little Manatee River and Lake Manatee provide water and 30-amp electric at sites plus centralized dump stations, with no sewer hookups at individual sites. Need to dump or fill water between stops? Many Flying J and Pilot stations along I-75 have public RV dump stations (usually $10 to $20). Arrive before 4 PM at state parks to give yourself daylight to set up, and bring a 25-foot drinking-water-rated hose plus a sewer hose with at least two elbows.
floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/little-manatee-river-state-parkWhat's included inside a typical Wimauma RV rental?
Most RVs you'll rent in Wimauma come fully ready to roll. Expect a queen or king bed plus convertible dinette/sofa sleeping (rigs sleep 4 to 8 people), a kitchen with a fridge/freezer, three-burner propane stove, microwave, and sink, a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower, roof AC (essential in Florida), propane furnace, and often a TV. Many hosts include a generator for boondocking, outdoor camp chairs, leveling blocks, and a starter kit of dishes, linens, and toilet paper. Wi-Fi varies, as some hosts include a hotspot while others recommend you bring your own. Every seat used while driving has a seatbelt. Message the host to confirm linens, kitchen kit, and outdoor gear are included so you don't overpack.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wimauma,%20FloridaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Wimauma hosts offer add-ons that make your trip easier. Popular extras include delivery and setup (typically a few dollars per mile), generator use (often a few dollars per hour beyond included hours), camping kits (chairs, table, grill), bike racks, kayaks, linens and towels, and pet cleaning fees. Mileage policies vary: many Wimauma hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per day with extras at roughly $0.30 to $0.50 per mile, while some offer unlimited mileage packages, great for an RV road trip from Wimauma to the Keys. Pickup is usually at the host's home in 33598, Sun City Center, or Ruskin. Bundle add-ons when you book to keep things organized and confirm totals upfront.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wimauma,%20FloridaHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure: when you book your campervan rental in Wimauma or any RV on RVezy, you pay through the platform with a credit card, with no cash changing hands with the host. A pre-authorization hold for the security deposit is placed on your card before pickup and released after a clean drop-off, separate from your booking payment. To avoid issues, do a thorough walk-around video with the host at pickup and again at return, respect the mileage and generator caps in your listing, dump and refill the tanks if required, and return the RV at the agreed time. Keep all fuel receipts, as some hosts require the tank returned full.
