I moved to SWFL from Chicago in 1983. The only thing I can tell you about the winter months is that the weather is beautiful. With that being said, the campgrounds get filled up quick and reservations at SP are made up to 11 months in advance and many people return to the same campground year after year. I-4 seems to be the magical median for snowbirds. To the south of it are warmer temps but larger crowds and higher prices. While north does get crowded but not as bad and usually is less expensive and cooler. In the winter months it is very hard for even locals to get sites but I do find that the northern part of the state is usually easier to find sites. One thought that I have mentioned on numerous occasions when people post is that a high of 65 degrees in the northern part of Florida is still better than the teens wherever it is your coming from. Don't get too caught up on the temps just try to find a place you like. Hope that helps.
