Don’t be misled by the name. Polk City is only a small village in Florida. About a half hour away from Disney World in Orlando and a bit more than an hour from Tampa and St. Pete, it sits south of the Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve near Dade City and just north of a series of lakes that dot the landscape around central Florida. Picking an RV rental in Polk City, Florida, will also allow you to access the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, and Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area near Kissimmee is recommended for people who love the outdoors. When you search for an RV in Polk City, Florida, you’re not far from either the Gulf of Mexico to your west or the Atlantic Ocean. Not to mention Port Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, or even Palm Bay.

Discover Polk City


The Great Outdoors

Choosing a luxury RV rental in Polk City allows you to experience a variety of different adventures. Of course, kids (and plenty of adults) are going to be drawn to Disney World Resort, but there’s more to this part of Florida than the Magic Kingdom. There’s also the beaches, including the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, or the Atlantic side if you’re after more surf. The General James A. Van Fleet State Trail is relatively flat and safe, but you’ll be in the middle of the Green Swamp. That means there will be plenty of wildlife, including alligators, so use care and you’ll be fine. It’s important to take along water, sunscreen, and hats because, most of the year, it’s going to be quite hot.

While you’re in the area, why not try a hot air balloon flight? These rides make great gift ideas and give you a gorgeous view of the state of Florida. Depending on the weather, you could get up to 2,600 feet and travel over 4 miles.

Nearby Lakeland is also home to a safari park that’s a hit with families. You get to interact with the animals and learn a lot about about them, their natural habitat, what they eat, and how to best care for them. The proximity to the animals could have you thinking you’ve been transported to Africa.

With a camper rental in Polk City, you’ll be ideally placed to explore this region of Florida. And if you expand your search beyond the borders of Polk City itself, you should be able to find a good place to stay.
