We were in the southeast from Nov to May and made reservations 2-3 weeks in advance. We didn't get further south than Sarasota, although if we wanted to spend $100 a night for a site at a "resort" we could have gone to Naples area. No thanx.
Snowman9000 and I may have crossed paths. We did Southern Oaks in Summerfield near the Villages and Jetty Park as well.
We ended up in the panhandle in late Jan and Feb. Temps were in the 50s and 60s. We followed the gulf coast around to Galveston, then headed north to LA/TX/OK the beginning of Mar. Never had a problem booking a site.
Now, we moved around a lot and we weren't too particular about where we were. We had a couple of stops planned to visit relatives and friends, but we stayed fairly loose. If you have to be south of I-4 for 70° plus temps, you want to stay in the same spot for the entire month, and you don't want to pay $100 a night, then you are probably too late. Most snowbirds book the next year when they leave in the spring.
