RV Rental for Palm Beach International Boat Show in West Palm Beach, FL
The Palm Beach International Boat Show takes over the West Palm Beach waterfront along Flagler Drive every March, lining the Intracoastal with hundreds of yachts and drawing buyers, brokers, and crews from around the world. If you need lodging close to the docks, an RV rental for Palm Beach International Boat Show gives you a private home base near downtown West Palm Beach instead of fighting for a hotel room near Clematis Street or CityPlace. Fireside RV Rental delivers motorhomes and travel trailers to campgrounds and approved sites around Palm Beach County so you can stay close to the show floor without committing to a marina hotel rate.
Why an RV Makes Sense for the Boat Show Crowd
The show runs four days along Flagler Drive, and the waterfront itself has no overnight RV parking — the event footprint sits on city streets and floating docks in the heart of downtown. That means boat show camping happens at established campgrounds in the surrounding Palm Beaches, and an RV becomes your air-conditioned retreat between long days walking the in-water displays. Brokers working the show, families coming in for the boating lifestyle, and crews staging for sea trials all benefit from a kitchen, a bed, and a quiet space that a downtown hotel near Worth Avenue can’t match during peak March demand. With RV delivery in West Palm Beach, you skip the towing and the campground check-in scramble entirely.
Where to Camp Near the West Palm Beach Waterfront
Because the venue runs along the Intracoastal in downtown, the practical move is to set up at a county or state campground a short drive away and commute in. Options worth calling early for March dates include:
- John Prince Park Campground (Lake Worth) — the closest full-service county campground, roughly 20–25 minutes south of Flagler Drive via I-95 or US-1.
- Lion Country Safari KOA (Loxahatchee) — out west off Southern Boulevard, about 30 minutes from downtown and handy if you want room to spread out.
- John D. MacArthur Beach State Park area (North Palm Beach) — ocean access north of the city for day-use; check current overnight availability when you call.
- Jonathan Dickinson State Park (Hobe Sound) — north up US-1 in Martin County, a quieter option about 40 minutes out if closer parks are booked.
Campground availability and RV size limits vary by park, so confirm your spot before you book delivery. We can deliver to most established campgrounds in Palm Beach and Martin counties — tell us your reservation and we’ll coordinate the setup.
Getting to Flagler Drive
Downtown West Palm Beach sits right off I-95 at exits feeding into Okeechobee Boulevard, which runs straight to the waterfront. From the southern campgrounds near Lake Worth Beach, US-1 and I-95 both deliver you to the show in well under half an hour outside rush periods. Flying in? Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is only a few miles from the venue, while Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) and Miami International (MIA) sit an hour or more south via I-95 or Florida’s Turnpike. Parking near Flagler Drive is limited during the show, so most attendees rideshare or use show shuttles from their RV base.
Camper and Motorhome Options for the Show
Whether you want a compact travel trailer parked at John Prince Park or a larger motorhome for a brokerage team staying through all four days, we match the unit to your group and your campground’s hookup setup. A camper rental for the boat show works well for couples and small families, while a motorhome rental near the Flagler Drive area gives crews and clients more living space between show sessions.
Equipment, appliances, and included packages vary by location and by the specific RV you reserve. We don’t list fixed amenities here because what comes with each unit differs — contact our West Palm Beach team for the full equipment list, current pricing, and what’s available for your March dates.

March Weather on the Waterfront
March is one of the best stretches of the year to be outdoors in West Palm Beach. Daytime highs typically land in the upper 70s to low 80s with low humidity and plenty of sunshine — ideal for walking the docks along the Intracoastal. Evenings cool into the 60s, so the air conditioning gets a break and the campground nights are comfortable. Rain is generally light this time of year, well before the summer wet season, though an afternoon sea breeze off the Atlantic is common. Pack sun protection for long days on the open waterfront.
When to Book
March is peak season across the Palm Beaches — snowbirds, equestrian crowds in Wellington, and the boat show all compete for the same campground sites and RV inventory. Reserve your unit and your campground spot as early as you can, ideally a few months out, since the closest parks like John Prince fill quickly for show weekend. The earlier you lock in delivery, the better your choice of equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I camp in an RV right at the Palm Beach International Boat Show?
No — the show occupies city streets and floating docks along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach, and there’s no overnight RV parking on the event grounds. Plan to camp at a nearby park like John Prince Park Campground in Lake Worth or Lion Country Safari KOA in Loxahatchee and commute in via I-95 or US-1.
Can you deliver the RV to a campground near the venue?
Yes. We deliver to most established campgrounds in Palm Beach and Martin counties, including John Prince Park and the Loxahatchee KOA. Make your campground reservation first, then share the details with us so we can schedule delivery, leveling, and hookup setup before you arrive.
What’s included with the RV rental?
Inclusions, appliances, and packages vary by location and by the specific unit you reserve. Rather than list a fixed set of amenities, we ask that you contact our West Palm Beach team directly for the full equipment list and current pricing for your March boat show dates.
How early should I book for the March boat show?
March is the busiest month of the year in the Palm Beaches, with the boat show, Wellington’s equestrian season, and snowbird traffic all overlapping. Book your RV and campground site several weeks to a few months ahead — the closest parks sell out quickly for show weekend.
What’s the weather like during the show?
Expect pleasant March conditions in West Palm Beach: daytime highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, cooler 60s evenings, low humidity, and mostly dry weather ahead of the summer rainy season. It’s comfortable for full days on the waterfront and easy nights at the campground.
