About RV trips out of Naples, Florida
Naples is southwest Florida's Paradise Coast basecamp — over 10 miles of white-sand Gulf beach, the Naples Botanical Garden, and a walkable downtown along Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South. It sits between Fort Myers (45min N) and Miami on US-41 (Tamiami Trail), the gateway east to Big Cypress National Preserve and the Everglades. Marco Island is 30min S, the Ten Thousand Islands and Everglades City ~45min SE, and Sanibel/Captiva ~45min N. Note: the historic Naples Pier is closed for hurricane-damage repairs, though the beachfront, restrooms and showers nearby remain open. PickRV pickup here is via a local vendor partner; Fort Myers is the alternative hub 45min north.
