In Florida you’re only allowed to stay for 2 weeks at a time. There are people out there that know how to play the system like making a reservation under the husband’s name leaving and coming right back with a reservation under the wife’s maiden name. In 25 yrs, I’ve never had to show an ID at any SP or COE CG. If people can only camp on a weekend so be it, I don’t see how making a weekend warrior make a week or two week reservation is going to help the problem. If you don’t work, camp during the week and leave the weekends for weekend warriors. By the way, in those 25 yrs I’ve camped in FL, everyone was allowed to make reservations 11 months out, I don’t remember any shorter time for FL residents to make reservations.
Right. And then you have the folks who camp at campground A for 2 weeks, then go to campground B for 2 weeks, then return to campground A, and do so the entire time the park is open.
Part of this problem is that traditional campgrounds aren't meant for fulltiming but people choose to fulltime there. So, you have a few people taking up sites for the entire season. And the folks just wanting to spend their vacation camping are out of luck.
So again, what works for one person makes it near impossible for another person.
