There’s nothing quite like football season in North Florida. Garnet and gold come back out, weekends start revolving around kickoff times, and Tallahassee fills with Seminole fans ready for game day. For RVers, FSU families, Seminole alumni, and football fans traveling into North Florida, the game itself can be just one part of the weekend.

Located in Madison, Florida, about an hour from Tallahassee and conveniently close to I-10, The Station RV Resort gives you a place to turn an FSU game into a full RV getaway. Arrive before game day, settle into your site, enjoy some time around the resort, then head into Tallahassee when it’s time to cheer on the Noles. After the final whistle, leave the game-day crowds behind and come back to your RV for the rest of the weekend.

With seven FSU home games on the 2026 schedule, there are plenty of opportunities to make it happen. 

The 2026 FSU Home Football Schedule 

Florida State has seven games at Doak Campbell Stadium this season, beginning in August and running through Thanksgiving weekend.

• August 29 – vs. New Mexico State
• September 7 – vs. SMU
• September 26 – vs. Central Arkansas
• October 3 – vs. Virginia
• October 31 – vs. Clemson
• November 21 – vs. NC State
• November 27 – vs. Florida
  
  

Several games bring something extra to the weekend, too. Central Arkansas falls during FSU Family Weekend and Hall of Fame Weekend, Clemson is the FSU Military Appreciation game, NC State comes to town for Homecoming and Seminole Heritage, and the regular season closes with the Florida vs. Florida State rivalry.

Whether you have one favorite matchup circled or you’re planning to make it to several games this season, bringing the RV gives you the chance to make more of the trip.

Turn Game Day Into a Weekend 

Anyone who has been to an FSU home game knows game day has an energy all its own, from the tailgates and crowds making their way toward Doak to the Marching Chiefs and thousands of Seminole fans doing the War Chant together. But when you’re traveling by RV, there’s no reason to limit the experience to those few hours.

Make The Station your place to land for the weekend. Pull into your site, get hooked up, and settle in before the game-day rush begins. Depending on kickoff, you might spend the morning by the resort-style pool, start your own friendly competition with a pickleball, bocce or cornhole game, or gather for something off the grill at The Filling Station, the resort’s covered outdoor gathering area. When it’s time for football, grab the garnet and gold and head toward Tallahassee.

After the game, your RV is waiting back in Madison, giving you somewhere to return to after the crowds, noise, and excitement of the day, and a reason to make the trip about more than getting in and out of Tallahassee.

For football fans, the weekend doesn’t have to end with the final whistle at Doak. With NFL Sunday Ticket at The Station, you can stick around Sunday, catch the day’s NFL games, and enjoy one more day of football before hitting the road. 

Why The Station Works for an FSU Weekend 

Part of what makes The Station a great fit for an FSU football trip is that you’re close enough to make the drive into Tallahassee for game day without your entire weekend having to revolve around the city. Located in Madison just a few miles from I-10, the resort is convenient for RVers traveling across North Florida, with spacious sites, full hookups, concrete pads, and pull-through options that make getting settled straightforward after a day on the road.

And once you’re parked, there’s plenty to enjoy between trips to Tallahassee. The pool, pickleball courts, bocce and cornhole give families and friends ways to spend a free afternoon, while The Filling Station offers a covered place to grill and gather. The resort also has a lounge and game room, free Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, modern bathhouses, a general store, and a fenced dog park for fans bringing their four-legged travelers along.

Those extras mean the hours outside of game day don’t feel like downtime you’re simply trying to fill. They’re part of the weekend, too.

A Labor Day Weekend Made for Football 

One of the season’s first big game weekends arrives September 7 when Florida State welcomes SMU to Doak Campbell Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Labor Day, giving fans a rare opportunity to build an entire three-day weekend around FSU football.

Bring the RV to The Station early in the weekend and give yourself Saturday and Sunday to enjoy the resort or explore some of the springs, rivers, small towns, and other easy day trips around Madison before Monday becomes all about garnet and gold. Head into Tallahassee for the pregame atmosphere and kickoff, then return to your site after the game instead of immediately starting a long drive home after a night game. Tuesday morning, you can hit the road when you’re ready.

Make FSU Family Weekend a Family Getaway 

For FSU families, September 26 offers another weekend worth extending. The Seminoles host Central Arkansas during FSU Family Weekend and Hall of Fame Weekend, bringing students, parents, siblings, and extended family together in Tallahassee.

Instead of making the trip all about getting in and out of town, bring the RV and give yourselves a little more time together. Spend part of the weekend on campus and take in the game, then come back to The Station for pool time, a few games of cornhole, dinner together at The Filling Station, or simply an evening at your site. It turns a busy campus visit into a family getaway everyone gets to enjoy.

Halloween, Clemson & an FSU Watch Party at The Station

October 31 brings another big matchup when Florida State hosts Clemson for the Seminoles’ Military Appreciation game. This time, though, you don’t necessarily have to head to Tallahassee to be part of game day.

The Station will be hosting an FSU Watch Party for the Clemson game, giving guests the chance to spend Halloween weekend at the resort and cheer on the Noles together. Bring the RV, wear the garnet and gold, and enjoy game day with fellow Seminole fans without having to leave The Station. More watch-party details will be announced as October 31 gets closer.

Homecoming & a Rivalry to Finish the Season

November brings two more FSU weekends worth putting on the calendar. The Seminoles host NC State on November 21 for Homecoming and Seminole Heritage, giving alumni and fans another reason to return to Tallahassee and make a weekend of it.

Then Thanksgiving weekend brings the grand finale: Florida State vs. Florida.

The Seminoles and Gators meet at Doak Campbell Stadium on Friday, November 27 at 3:30 p.m., adding one of college football’s classic rivalries to Thanksgiving weekend. For RV travelers, it’s a natural opportunity to combine holiday travel with one last FSU game weekend before the regular season comes to an end.

FSU Fans Save 20% at The Station

Whichever game you circle on the schedule, there’s another reason to bring the RV to Madison this season. FSU fans can save 20% on any stay at The Station through November 27 with promo code FSU20.

Use it for Labor Day weekend, Family Weekend, the Clemson watch party, Homecoming, rivalry weekend, or another stay during the season. Pick your game, pack the garnet and gold, and bring the RV.

Then stay, play, and cheer your way through the 2026 FSU football season at The Station.
