Additional Information
Is Craig's RV Park a good base for exploring Central Florida?
Arcadia's central spot in DeSoto County puts you within easy striking distance of both coasts — Gulf beaches, Sarasota, and Port Charlotte are all comfortable day trips, and Orlando's attractions and international airports aren't far either. You get small-town pace and prices without giving up access to everything Florida has to offer.
What's nearby in DeSoto County and the surrounding area?
Downtown Arcadia is famous for its historic antique district, rebuilt in brick after a 1905 fire, with dozens of shops, cafes, and a monthly street vendor market on the fourth Saturday. Outdoors, the Peace River offers paddling and fossil hunting, and the Arcadia All-Florida Championship Rodeo — the oldest rodeo in Florida — along with the DeSoto County Fair each February, showcase the area's cowboy heritage.
