Florida Rules for Truck Camping

I would think Hatty the "rules" would vary from park to park.

I can tell you it was allowed in the Florida State parks I hosted in

I'm not aware of any "state" that has such a restriction. There are some private campgrounds do require you to keep the camper on the truck.

Bah! Rules, all you have to do is tow an atv and there are no rules.

if you mean leave it on the "STREET"
i think the answer is NO

if you mean in a campground, .. you paid for the site
it doesn't make any difference if you leave your camper or a tent.. the site is paid for

The CA state parks we hosted would NOT allow a camper off the truck.

Paid for site or not...depends on the campground rules whether or not it is allowed.
State/National/COE campgrounds......haven't seen/heard of any rules saying NO.
Private campgrounds......yep seen a few of them with rules that state camper must stay on truck in several different states.

So it depends on the campground.

We have not seen any rule requiring camper to be left on the truck -- however, we have seen a rule that if the camper is taken off the truck and left on site and you go in and out with the truck, then you must pay for a vehicle pass for the truck. If you leave the camper on the truck and it sits on site, then they consider it an RV and there is no vehicle pass charge as the "RV" is included in your camping fee.

We've seen one at Topsail State Preserve in Florida. He had a boat also that he left on site. Don't really think there is much difference in leaving a truck camper, an unhooking a travel trailer or pop up camper. If the park allows them to be there, then they can be there. But it would be a private campground that would have any such restriction and if they did, they probably wouldn't allow you in, in the first place.

I've left mine at the campsite @ Topsail & Ft Wilderness. I haven't been to any other campgrounds in FL.

So what is the reason for not allowing it off the truck? it`s no different than leaving a tent, popup or TT.
