Florida Seasonal Camping
Just bought a class A with intentions of driving it from Maine to Florida and leaving it down there for three or four months. Any advice on locations, pro and con? I will be flying down to Florida in ...

A seasonal camper in Florida needs to decide if they are going to take their RV back north with them or leave it here in Florida. When we were fulltiming in our Rig, we spent one winter season in the Homosassa/Krystal River area at Nature's Resort RV Park. Met at least a dozen couples, from eastern Tennessee, Crossville area that when they got ready to return home for the summer, called one of the local storage places that sent out a truck to haul their trailer to storage for them. In the fall, the storage place would bring it back to the campground and set it up. The couple setup next to us said he sold his truck as he no longer needed it to tow his large 5th wheel. Most of these Crossville couples just brought their cars/SUVs down to Florida.
Recently I got an email advertising from a campground in the Ft Meyers/Naples area offering a 7 and 5 plan. If I would pay for 7 months in advance, then I could leave our RV on the same site, unoccupied for the 5 months. We weren't interested as we went back to being extended travelers living in a stick and brick.
For us personally, I would try to stay south of the top of the Big Lake, Okeechobee. I would just have to factor in costs, any needed specialized medical care needed, family, hobbies, climate desired, etc. Florida has something for every taste or lack of taste. lOL
I tend to like the Crystal River area and both sides of it. This is Old Florida, the Non-tourist Florida, Third World Florida, laid back, backwater of the state, eat but it appeals to many. For short stays over there we like Rock Crusher RV, Wintered at Natures Resort and had friends that stated at the Encore Park and enjoyed their stay according to them.
