RV Rental Bradenton, FL

Bordered by the Manatee River to the north, Bradenton is only 15 square miles in size. But what it lacks in land area it more than makes up for its proximity to beaches and barrier islands such as Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key. If you like broad white sand beaches and turquoise waters with a laid back vibe, Anna Maria Island makes a perfect escape from Bradenton--a mere 20 minutes away. Even better, you can pick up your motorhome rental in Bradenton and camp at Sarasota Bay RV Park just five miles down the road.

On the other hand, if you have golf on your mind, or simply access to elegant dining and shopping options, then Longboat Key would make a better destination. Even if sports, food and retail therapy are not what you came here for, you surely will love Longboat Key's 12 miles of white sand beaches. Several campsites for your Bradenton luxury RV rental are within 15 minutes' drive. Manatee County Area Transit (MCAT) buses easily link you to downtown Bradenton so wherever you choose to park your RV rental, the beach is always a stone's throw away.

For a fantastic day trip, you can leave your travel trailer rental in Bradenton and hop on a ferry to Egmont Key State Park not 15 miles offshore. The park is a wildlife refuge with pristine beaches where you can collect shells or simply reflect on the cultural and natural history of the island while visiting its historic sites such as the 1858 lighthouse and Fort Dade, or walking the nature trails where you may encounter gopher tortoises, Florida box turtles, hummingbirds and a host of seabirds that live at the south end of the island. Start your outdoor adventure in Florida with a search for an RV in Bradenton!

With your camper rental in Bradenton, you can venture farther south to one of the largest national parks in the United States, the Everglades. At 2,400 square miles, the park offers plenty of things to see and do. Go on a boat tour of the 10,000 islands, glide quietly on a canoe or kayak, or walk on one of the boardwalk trails to experience the park first-hand and encounter wading birds, deer, and its abundant residents, the alligators.

For a more challenging outdoor activity, take time to explore some longer hiking trails, or go off-trails (slogging) to see the park's elusive species. You can even stay right in the park for a few days to get a more immersive experience.
