  Southwest Florida sits between Tampa Bay and the Everglades. Some of the area's most notable winter residents, including Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, put the beauty of Southwest Florida into the spotlight as early as the 1920s. Today, the region offers RVing tourists and winter snowbirds many diverse attractions and experiences, ranging from luxury RV parks near Naples, to rustic campsites in marshy fishing villages near the Everglades.
