Planning a Florida RV trip? You’ll definitely want to check the weather! While the Sunshine State stays warm year-round, each season brings its own mix of temperatures, rain patterns, and travel perks—especially in Fort Lauderdale.

In this blog, we’ll break down what you need to know and pack for each season.

 

Spring: Best Florida Camping Weather

Spring is one of the best times to RV in Florida. From March through May, the weather is warm and breezy, with low humidity and plenty of sunshine. Daytime temperatures usually sit in the 70s and 80s. The evenings are cooler—perfect for sitting outside under the stars.

Spring also brings less rainfall compared to the wet summer months, which makes it ideal for outdoor adventures. Whether you’re planning to cruise along the coast or relax by the pool, it’s easy to enjoy everything Florida has to offer this time of year.

 

What to Pack for Spring Weather

Packing for spring in Florida is pretty simple—just think light, breezy, and sun-ready. Here’s what we recommend:

• Lightweight clothing like shorts, t-shirts, sundresses, and breathable fabrics
• A few layers for chilly early mornings or cooler evenings
• Swimsuits and cover-ups for pool days or beach outings
• Comfortable shoes or sandals for walking around town or the resort
• Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat to help you stay protected during long days in the sun

Summer: Fun in the Florida Sun

Summer in Florida—especially in Fort Lauderdale—means sunshine, heat, and a good chance of afternoon rain. From June through August, daily highs often reach the 90s, and humidity is at its peak. While the mornings can be bright and beautiful, it’s common to get brief thunderstorms in the late afternoon. 

While summer may not be the best option for a tent, it’s the perfect Florida RV weather. 

If you’re staying at Yacht Haven during the summer months, you’ll appreciate the resort’s shaded outdoor areas, refreshing pool, and hurricane-safe harbor. It’s a great time to cool off in the water, take early-morning walks or simply relax under the palms with a cold drink in hand.

 

What to Pack for Summer Weather

Summer travel in Florida is all about staying cool and comfortable. Here’s what to bring along:

• Breathable, moisture-wicking clothing like tank tops, shorts, and light dresses
• Sun protection like sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen
• Umbrella or poncho for those sudden afternoon showers
• Extra towels and swimwear for pool time or beach visits
• Cooling gear like portable fans, cooling towels, or neck wraps
• Bug spray and citronella candles to keep mosquitoes at bay in the evenings

Fall: Underrated Florida Camping Season

Fall in Florida stretches from September through November and offers a nice transition from the heat of summer to more comfortable conditions. Early fall can still be hot and humid with possible hurricanes, especially in September, but temperatures gradually cool down, and humidity levels start to drop by late October.

Rain is still common in September, but things dry out as the season goes on. Crowds also begin to thin out, making fall a peaceful and budget-friendly time to visit the state.

 

What to Pack for Fall Weather

Packing for fall in Florida means being ready for a little bit of everything—sun, occasional rain, and cool evenings. 

Here’s what to bring:

• Lightweight clothes like t-shirts, shorts, and casual dresses
• A few long sleeves or light layers for early mornings or evenings
• Rain gear like a packable jacket or umbrella
• A light jacket or hoodie if you’re visiting in late fall
• Sun protection and insect repellent—yes, you’ll still need both!

Winter: Peak Florida RV Season

Winter weather in Florida is why so many snowbird RVers make their way south. The climate is mild, dry, and sunny, with daytime highs in the 60s to 70s and very little rain. It’s the most comfortable time of year to be outside, whether you’re boating, sightseeing, or simply enjoying the fresh air.

Just keep in mind—this is peak season. Get ahead of the crowd by planning ahead and booking early.

 

What to Pack for Winter Weather

Even in winter, Florida feels like a mild spring day in many other parts of the country. Here’s what to bring:

• T-shirts, long sleeves, and a light sweater for layering
• Jeans or long pants for cooler mornings and evenings
• Swimsuits and sandals—you’ll still want to take a dip!
• A light jacket or windbreaker for breezy days or chilly nights
• Comfortable walking shoes for exploring around town or the resort

Your Year-Round Home Base

No matter when you hit the road, Florida has something special to offer in every season—and Yacht Haven Park & Marina makes it easy to enjoy it all. With waterfront views, resort-style amenities, and a location that shines year-round, it’s the perfect home base for your next RV adventure.
