Route ideas/ Campgrounds near Cape Coral, Fl, Tampa, St Pete

Planning a trip mid March from Myrtle Beach to Key West, then crossing Fl to west coast - plan to visit friends in Cape Coral, then North Point, Tampa/St Pete areas, then return back to MB.
Traveling in a Class A (2 slides) and pulling our toad. Have made plans where to stay for trip to Keys, but would like info on where to stay/not to stay on west coast visit and trip back home. Prefer FHU sites, but W/E OK. Generally prefer to limit driving to 6 hrs a day. Also prefer to stay in CG, not Walmarts. Would appreciate route suggestions (41 or I-75) - and any must see/don't bother along the way. We're both retired and not under any great time restrictions. Thanks in advance
  • We've stayed many times at Fort DeSoto, a Pinellas County park on the water at the base of the Tampa Bay Area. Beautiful beach, interesting Fort to tour. One section allows dogs. There are a lot of trees, though, but they do have some pull thru sites away from the water. Two dump stations.
