The State Parks will be filled up with Snowbirds, you'd be hard pressed to find a spot. IMHO, JMHO no great loss because I found the state parks a jungle, bug infested and VERY VERY small sites, and unlike most State Parks they are not cheap in Florida.
Take a look around the Dunnellon, Rainbow Lakes area. There are some IMHO GREAT CG's in this area. Took me 4 years to find this hidden gem of an area. Beautiful blue springs parks one does have a CG. Not right on the coast but a short drive to the Gulf. This area is the old Florida clean nice and a lot to do within a few minutes of driving.
Well, I'll have to defend the Florida State Park system which so far as I'm concerned is the best in the nation. Do some of them have small sites: yes, they were built for the units of yesterday before RV's went on a growing spurt. Are they likely to be filled around Christmas: yes but that's because they are so popular. Which is hard to understand if they fit the description above. We've camped in at least 30 or 40 of the Florida SP plus many from other states. I don't think any other state has as many parks as Florida does (it has well over a 100). Some of the other states have nice parks too.
There are SP that have bigger sites, the newer ones and Florida has been upgrading the CG to full utilities. But finding a site around Christmas will be tough. As the poster above points out there are a lot of Commercial CG, all of which will be more expensive than the SP by the way.
If you tell us what you want to do then you'll probably get more directed responses.
