The best vintage trailers in Gulf Coast

·

Stretching for around 670 miles, from the border with Alabama all the way down to the tropical Florida Keys, Florida's Gulf Coast is well-known for its cities and vacation areas, but it's also a great spot to get out into nature. Here you'll find white-sand beaches, wildlife-rich bayous, and mile upon mile of protected lands that provide sanctuary to a host of avian species. Camping opportunities in the region are endless, from state-run campgrounds to private RV to intimate Hipcamps, all just a short jaunt from many of the state’s most impressive beaches.

Tres Lagos Camping is part of the Florida agritourism initiative. Where travelers from all over the world come to experience and enjoy a different kind of florida. We’re a small 5 acre family farm involved in the cultivation and preservation of rare and endangered palms with many other edible tropical plants for our visitors to enjoy. You can view our palms at all stages of growth from seed to maturity. Enjoy our U-pick varieties of mangos, Caribbean cherries, sugar cane, bananas, coconuts and we’re adding more all the time. There is even a sugarcane maze and bamboo gardens in progress for the kids and adults to enjoy. But don’t forget your veggies! Get up close and personal with where some of your medicines and vegetables come from. We have some small areas for education about different medicinal plants like Turmeric, ginger, saw palmetto and a few others. Take the tours or classes or just sit back and enjoy the view! Hope to see you soon.

🏕️ Sip & Sage Co. – The Bougie Backyard Getaway Not your typical Hipcamp. Not off-grid. Not remote. And not gonna lie—we don’t have goats or a mountain view... BUT we do have privacy screens wrapped around the whole space, a tree-covered backyard oasis, and one heck of a setup that’ll make you forget you're camping in a residential neighborhood. (Bonus: you can actually sleep at night without wondering if that noise was a raccoon or a serial killer.) This vintage camper may be small, but she’s mighty. Outfitted with a futon bed + a thick 6" foam mattress, she’s cozy enough for two—but let’s be real, you’re probably coming here to escape your kids, your job, or your loud in-laws. It’s giving "she shed meets sassy staycation." Inside: ❄️ Brand new 10,000 BTU A/C – You will get cold. You’ve been warned. 🧊 Small fridge for your bubbly or snacks (no cooking inside the camper though—this isn’t Top Chef). Outside: 🚽 A real camping toilet with a tank (none of that bag-it-and-hope-for-the-best stuff). 🚿 Cold-water outdoor shower + a vintage clawfoot soaking tub (hello boho luxury). 🌬️ Mister fans & shaded sails – keeping it cool, literally. 🍹 A full outdoor kitchen & tiki bar for mixing drinks or just feeling like you're on vacation. 🛋️ Outdoor couch/daybed for sun naps, deep thoughts, or binge-watching if you add the optional outdoor TV setup (extra fee applies—TVs don’t like dew). This space was designed by a mom who just needed a dang break. So Sip & Sage was born: part retreat, part glampfest, part wild idea turned into a whole vibe. There’s no bears, no bugs in your sleeping bag, and definitely no judgment if you show up with a bottle of wine and a face mask or bong and shots. (No parties though keep it low key) 📍Located on a quiet street in a safe residential area—you might hear a lawn mower or a giggling neighbor, but you won’t hear police sirens or wild party animals (unless it's you). So if you’re a camping newbie, a glamping goddess, or just someone who needs a little joy sprinkled on their week—this one’s for you. 💫

The best vintage trailers in Gulf Coast guide

Where to go

The Florida Panhandle

The northwesternmost section of the Gulf Coast, this region offers a great mix of sandy beaches, marshes, and cultural attractions. Spots worth checking out include Big Lagoon State Park in Pensacola and Grayton Beach State Park in Santa Rosa, which offers easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and to a massive lake. Other popular spots in this region include St. Andrews State Park, where you can camp near the beach, and St. George Island, a sandy isle just off the coast of historic Carrabelle.

North Florida

Many of the less-developed beaches on the Gulf Coast can be found along its northern reaches, and much of this part of the state is preserved and protected by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's wildlife management area program. The area is also a great place to spot manatees, especially in spots such as the aptly named Manatee Springs State Park.

Central Florida

The central part of the Gulf Coast gets plenty of tourists, particularly in popular cities such as Tampa and Sarasota. Fort Myers is another hot spot, providing easy access to beautiful natural areas such as the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve and the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

South Florida and the Keys

You'll find some of the prettiest natural areas in the state at the southern end of Florida’s Gulf Coast, from the Cape Romano - Ten Thousand Islands Aquatic Preserve near Naples to the massive Everglades National Park. At the far end of the state, the Florida Keys feature a mix of developed areas and protected natural spots, including the Great Heron National Wildlife Reserve, where sea birds and turtles flock en masse, to the National Key Deer Refuge which, as the name suggests, protects endemic Key deer.
