Florida Pop-Up Campers
Florida Pop-Up Campers is a statewide club that has been in action since 2001. This group shares a common goal of promoting the idea of camping as family entertainment. The club is also dedicated to revealing the wealth of camping potential offered by the state of Florida. Dues are not required for membership and that membership is termed as "at will" meaning that it can be terminated by the member at any time. Inappropriate action can also result in termination of a member by the club itself. It is assumed that all members who attend rallies or events sponsored by the Florida Pop-Up Campers will behave as unofficial ambassadors representing the goodwill of the state and the club. Requirements for club membership include the necessity of being a resident of the state of Florida, ownership of an active e-mail address and ownership of a qualified camper.

Roamin' Rigs
Roamin' Rigs is what the Tampa Bay chapter of the Family Motor Coach Association calls its RV club. Rallies are held on the fourth weekend of every month. The club takes June to August off from rallying because that is prime travel season for many members. Unofficial summer rallies are held by members known unofficially as the Fellowship Amongst Riggers Traveling or F.A.R.T.S. Events and activities at the Roamin' Rigs rallies vary considerably, but can include anything from card playing to bean bag baseball to bocce ball.
