Welcome and thanks for stopping by and visiting our Florida Good Sams Home page. Florida is the home of over 30 Good Sams chapters that invite you to seek them out and join a chapter where RV’ing in the sunshine state is always a warm welcome. Information on our Chapters can be found on our CHAPTER INFORMATION page.
Samboree is a statewide campout open to all. Florida currently has two Samborees a year; a Spring Samboree in April and a Fall Samboree in November. A camping adventure on a grand scale – all done by State Staff and volunteers. A multiple day event with an emphasis on fun and meeting with new and connecting with old friends!
Currently Florida State is in the process of changing over from Good Sams to a Statewide Camping Club. This is taking some time and legal coordination as we refresh our goals and commitment to our RVers in order to provide a safe and fun camping experience for all. While our goal is for two state Rallies, this year will be limited to only one Rally in the Fall. Check back from time to time for further details. Joe & Debbie Weston
WHAT IS A GOOD SAM “SAMBOREE” ALL ABOUT?
There are major events like opening and closing ceremonies, three nights of entertainment, and two nights of Sambo (Bingo). There are also all types of Indoor and outdoor game competitions. A varied Morning Hospitality menu with coffee and donuts, sausage biscuits, or biscuits and gravy, A Free hotdog lunch and an ice cream social. There are vendors of special interest to RVers, seminars, special products for the ladies and crafts.
The Florida Samborees are unique from many other states. We are known for our Golden Wedding Ceremony, with vow renewals, where we celebrate the 50th anniversaries of couples that are attending the Samboree.
We pride ourselves on being a friendly, outgoing group and encourage new campers to attend. You need not be a Good Sam member to attend but we challenge you to leave without wanting to become a member! We have local chapters from all across the state who camp together on a monthly basis and we are sure they would love to have you come to the Samboree and will invite you to camp with them when you get back home!
“THE CAMPING EXPERIENCE IS ONE OF A KIND! IT IS A SAFE HOSPITABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY”
