Best National Parks Near Perry, FL
While none of Florida's national parks are close enough to Perry for a day trip, they are worth visiting if you are exploring the state's southern half. Two of the three parks welcome RV campers.
Everglades National Park, 400 miles to the south, is a nature lover's paradise. Exotic birds, hiking trails, fishing, kayaking, unbelievably clear skies, and gorgeous sunsets highlight these 1.5 million areas of federally protected land. There are two campgrounds here. Long Pine Key, closed during the summer rainy season, is the more primitive site with no hookups. The Flamingo campsite is on the tip of the Florida peninsula and has a camp store, solar showers, and bay water views. The Guy Bradley Visitor Center in Flamingo rents bikes, kayaks, and boats. There are also a couple of excellent ranger-led boat tours. RVs with a maximum length of 35 feet are welcome to stay in the park. If you want to camp here in your RV rental, access the park through the main entrance in Homestead.
Biscayne National Park is primarily a saltwater park near Miami and 456 miles southeast of Perry. You may see manatees and dolphins here, and scuba divers and snorkelers can view shallow wrecks and crustaceans. There are no RV campsites in the park.
Dry Tortugas National Park is the least visited national park because of its location. It is not accessible by land, so visitors need to arrive by seaplane, boat, or ferry. It would make a great day trip if you were visiting Key West, 581 miles southwest of Perry, and would like to snorkel. There is a two-hour ferry, or you can rent a private boat. There is no RV camping at the site.
You'll find the beautiful Suwannee River State Park 42 miles northeast of Perry. The Suwanee and the Withlacoochee Rivers meet in this park, providing excellent fishing, canoeing, and picnic sites with a water view. Spend a few hours hiking along a riverbank or through a pine forest. The RV camp accommodates vehicles 45 feet or less; the 30 shady sites have full hookups and are near the river.
Manatee Springs State Park is about 72 miles south of Perry and, as the name implies, is home to a large population of manatees, particularly in the winter. The clear spring waters are a delight for swimmers and snorkelers. The Catfish Hotel cavern provides an exciting adventure for certified scuba divers. The Suwannee River passes through the park, which opens up more possibilities for aquatic activities. There are two RV campgrounds. The Magnolia 1 Campground has full hookups and is suitable for RVs with a maximum length of 40 feet, and the Magnolia Campground 2 has partial hookups and accommodates RVs up to 35 feet.
Lake Jackson Mounds Archeological State Park outside Tallahassee and about 64 miles northwest of Perry, is known for its Native American earthen temple mounds that were created more than 800 years ago. You can request a ranger-led tour. There is no campground at the park, but you'll find plenty of excellent options in the nearby areas.

Two rivers and more than 700 lakes and ponds provide plenty of different venues for water activities, including swimming, fishing, and boating. While hiking, you might spot a white-tailed deer or black bear. Make noise while hiking to keep the bears away, and don't ever come between a mother bear and her cub. Campgrounds permit RVs, but there are no hookups.
Big Cypress National Preserve is almost 400 miles south of Perry. That's quite a distance, but it's a convenient stopover if your itinerary also includes Orlando, Tampa, the Everglades, or Miami. With 729,000 acres of marsh, prairies, and hardwoods, it's a diverse environment to explore in an airboat, kayak, or RV. Call ahead to check the schedule for ranger-led tours.
