Hotel at a Glance: Lake San Marino RV Resort

From the Panhandle to the Keys, Florida is dotted with more than 30,000 lakes. A stay at Lake San Marino RV Resort puts you mere steps from 1 of them. You can enjoy catch-and-release fishing right on the property, or simply relax on the shore and watch swans glide across the water.

• Barefoot Beach—named the country’s No. 2 beach by Dr. Beach in 2015—is less than 20 minutes away. Sunbathe on the powdery sand and swim in the blue-green Gulf of Mexico.
• Explore Naples: Head to Fifth Avenue South to shop at boutiques and art galleries and dine at one of the dozens of restaurants.
• Bask in the sun while you swim in the heated outdoor pool.
• One-bedroom cottage: Each features a full kitchen, air conditioning, linens, a covered porch, and a private bathroom.
• Standard RV site: Along with full hookups, they include concrete patios, grassy areas, and access to three bath houses.

Naples, Florida: Upscale Retreat on Pristine West Coast

Located along the southwest edge of Florida on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, Naples is a small city set among wandering waterways and scenic estuaries. Everything in Naples seems impeccably clean, from the bleached sand of its 10-mile-long pristine beaches to the bathwater-warm water that’s as clear as glass. One of the prettiest spots is Naples Pier. This dock extends 1,000 feet into the Gulf of Mexico, leaving plenty of room for a crowd of anglers to cast their lines for pompano, a plump silver fish that makes for good eating.

Inland from the pier you can find Old Naples, where luxury cars are parked outside art galleries, upscale restaurants, and bars with outdoor patios. Walk along the brick sidewalks of Third Street South and you’ll find open plazas with antique bronze fountains as well as turn-of-the-century cottages and striking Mediterranean Revival homes.

More than 80 championship golf courses are located throughout Naples, and the city bills itself as the Golf Capital of the World. It’s a lofty claim, to be sure, but Naples has warm, tropical weather year-round and the second-most golf holes per capita in the country, according to World Golf.
