Reality Sets in as Ian Aftermath Becomes More Evident

While Hurricane Ian left severe damage to several RV Parks in a three-county area in its wake , the message from the Florida Association of RV Parks and Campground (FRVCA) is that the state is open for camping. “As much as we can, we’re trying to collect data and keep updated as much as we can every second of the day,” said Bobby Cornwell, FRVCA exectutive director. “But first of all we want the message to get out that the vast majority of parks in Florida are, of course, fine. Yes, it was very disastrous in Fort Myers and that area, and there are several of affected parks, but outside that three-county area down there, the rest of the state is wonderful. There are sites. There is availability. The worst thing anybody could do right now is not come to Florida.”
