The 2027 Florida RV SuperShow fills five public days at the Florida State Fairgrounds after a trade-only Tuesday. The gates run January 13 through 17 and hold 43 hours.

Industry day, then five public days

Tuesday 12 January 2027 is Industry Day. The organiser admits RV industry personnel only and requires credentials and ID at the door.

Public gates open Wednesday 13 January and run 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Saturday 16 January. Sunday 17 January opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 4 p.m.

Four nine-hour days and one seven-hour day make 43 gate hours.

What one ticket buys

An adult ticket costs $15 and covers two days. Children under 16 enter free. The organiser sells at the entrance gate and opens pre-sale in mid December.

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday carry a $2 senior discount. First responders and military take $2 off every day. One discount applies at a time.

Parking belongs to the Fairgrounds. A car pays $12 on the day or $10 in an online pre-sale. An RV pays $20. The parking block reads cash and credit cards accepted, and the Fairgrounds answers on 813-621-7821. The online pre-sale reads coming soon.

The organiser reports 70,635 attendees at the 2026 edition.

Rentals at Gates 1 to 4

An electric scooter costs $80 and a wheelchair $30, at Gates 1, 2, 3 and 4.

HomeTown Mobility runs the desk. A reservation takes 24 hours of notice at htmia.com or on 1-712-938-2029, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. A phone booking carries a $10 processing fee. Every rental needs a driver's licence or a state ID. A cancellation 48 hours ahead returns the money less $5 per unit. Walk-up customers draw on a limited pool.

Expo Hall as an indoor base

The Fairgrounds publishes the Expo Hall features: 87,000+ square feet of exhibit space, 45-foot ceilings, drive-through doors for load-in and load-out, eight flexible meeting rooms, two show offices, utilities through the floor and wall, and complimentary wifi throughout the building. Expo Hall joins the Entertainment Hall for a 138,000-square-foot footprint.

A scooter collected at any gate covers the outdoor grounds and the halls in one visit. A day room adds a desk and a quiet line for the hours a hall floor cannot supply.

The organiser publishes no hotel block for 2027. The show page carries the word hotels above a line reading more information to come.

The property across the street

The Fairgrounds Trip Planning page lists the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tampa Fairgrounds Casino at 0.2 miles and describes the property as directly across the street. The entry names a business center, free wireless internet, a pool and a fitness center.

Day-use inventory for this market sits on Dayuse. The Tampa page carried 14 priced cards on 22 October 2026 and prints no city average. hotelSlots states on its home page that Florida restricts day-use bookings under state travel laws, and its directory carries no Florida page.

Two cards name the fairgrounds. Quality Inn & Suites Tampa near Fairgrounds and Casino lists $65 plus a $6 booking fee against an $88 nightly comparison, with windows of 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Clarion Pointe Tampa-Brandon Near Fairgrounds and Casino lists $65 plus $6 against $96, with windows of 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

An 8 a.m. start covers the 9 a.m. gate. The 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. window covers a 6 p.m. weekday close and the 4 p.m. Sunday close.

A ticket that spans two days

A $15 adult ticket admits the holder on two days of the run. A visitor who uses both pairs a 9 a.m. gate with a room booked from 10 a.m. on the first day and repeats the pattern on the second.

Parking is charged per entry, so a two-day visit carries two parking purchases on top of the ticket.

Figures for the diary: gates at 9 a.m. Wednesday 13 to Saturday 16 January and a 4 p.m. Sunday close, 43 gate hours, a $15 adult ticket good for two days, free entry under 16, $12 parking for a car, $80 for a scooter and $30 for a wheelchair at Gates 1 to 4, and a hotel the Fairgrounds places 0.2 miles from the gate.
