The continental USA’s largest city, Jacksonville lies on the northeast corner of the state of Florida and is the most populous city in the state. It is filled with beautiful architecture, art galleries and historical areas and is a popular holiday destination.

Self-drive is a favoured way to explore Florida’s Atlantic coast beaches, historical districts and Panhandle region and hiring a fully equipped recreational vehicle is a great way to do this. The available choice of campervans is good and there are numerous camping sites where travellers can relax at the beach or in out-of-the-way towns.
