Heading south Florida for the month of Feburary

My husband and I are going to be spending the month of Feburary om Florida. This will be the first time we have done this. We are looking for warm weather and a nice place to stay. Doesn't have to be fancy just clean and friendly people. Don't really know how to choose a place to stay. Would like some information please to see if we need to choose a place for the whole month or just go down and see what we can come up with. Thanks for any help.

  • I suggest Miami Everglades which is in south Florida.
    It is close to the Keys and the Ev erglades for good day trips and it has all the amenities that you would want.

  • I second the looking at RVparkreviews. we went for the month of Feb last winter and were able to make a one month reservation in September because not all the sites were filled by then. If in Central FL then you might try Elite resorts in Clermont or where we go now for 3 months at the Old Mill Stream in Umatilla, both
    are very clean and friendly. We did travel around and look at lots of places but nothing we saw matched what we ended up with.
  • Believe it or not, you'll probably have a harder time finding a place for a full month than if you traveled around a bit. Most parks have their monthly and seasonal sites already reserved, but you won't have any trouble finding spots for anywhere from one day to a week. The further south in Florida you go, the warmer it will be. There's quite a difference between Tallahassee and Naples temps. However, "cooler" is a relative thing, and we actually preferred the northern temps (upper 60's and low 70's) more than the hotter southern temps (80's). Also, the farther south, and the closer to the coast, the more you will pay, and the more congested it will be. We found the Spring Hill area to our liking......somewhat cooler but still nice, and much less traffic than even 30 miles further south. If you try that area, check out Holiday Spring RV Park. Also, try to get into some of the state park campgrounds, and don't forget to check the county park campgrounds as well. Some of those are even nicer than a lot of state parks. If you have any more questions, just post them in this same thread, and I and others will respond.
