While there may be a debate as to whether one can just go to FL and find a campsite or not we did pretty much just that our first year in FL. We stayed at 8 different RV parks over a 6 week period from the northern third to the Keys. I would suggest, however, that while you can go without a formal reservation you should definitely plan ahead to where you might want to go and know where you might want to stay and then call 2-5 days ahead to make sure they have a site for you. Staying 2-4 days is much easier than making monthly reservations. You have to be flexible in your schedule and types of parks you might want to stay in.
We visited several parks so that we could check them out and visit the area. Once we determined where we preferred to stay we made a longer reservation for the next season. This will be our 5th snowbirding season and we have pretty much settled on a park having reserved for one month during our second season to 4 months this coming winter. We like the Crystal River area--not so crowded and less expensive than further south.
Good luck with your travels!
