Busch Gardens, Tampa

Hi:
My wife and I are interested in visiting Busch Gardens at Tampa, FL. We live in St. Augustine. Are there any good nearby campgrounds? We have a Pleasure Way so we will probably not be towing but we can if suggested. We also want to see other interesting things in the area if we can get some advice. We visited Selby Gardens which is in the area in Oct. 2018 and found it to be fantastic. So, I'm looking for advice on:
campgrounds
attractions.
Thanks so much for any help you can give.
Bob
  • In Tampa just of I-75 at Fowler avenue is Happy Traveler. With Passport America is 22.50 a night. It has new owners and management and we are currently here until Thursday morning. Nice and convenient to Busch Gardens and other attractions.
  • While there, take a tour of the brewery. It was fun and informative. The beer cans went by so fast on the conveyors, the only way I could tell what kind was being brewed that day was the blurred color of the cans going by.

    The Tampa Busch Gardens Brewery was closed in 1995... it's now the site of one of the roller coasters.
