Looking for Recommendations

As a new retiree I'm looking to spend a couple of months in Florida from early to mid January to mid March. I don't want to stay in one place more than 2 weeks and would like to see different areas to see where I would like to stay longer term. Can someone recommend 4 or 5 RV parks that are decent to stay at and within a day or so drive from each other that would give me a flavor of whats available.

I'm not a big rig, or extravagant resort type of person, more of a state park kind of guy, but they all seem to be booked up. I really prefer the gulf coast part of the state as opposed to the Atlantic side and I really don't mind a little cooler weather, but the pan handle may be a little cooler at that time of year than I want.

    Many people book same site year to year. Most made reservations many months ago. You want to start making phone calls now. Cancellations happen.

    Many, if not all of the options that fall into your preferences are booked or almost booked.Suspect you will have more luck looking inland.

    Others here may have better advice. Wish you luck!


    I'm just looking for some recommendations of where to stay. I realize places get booked up, but people cancel everyday as well for a variety of reasons.
