If you work at it there will be cancellations and you could luck into a site. Be prepared to pay if you want to get into a private park. The trouble with Florida is that people snag a spot for next year before they leave this year. The last time we were in there in the winter (2015-2016), we didn't make advanced reservations and couldn't find a spot south of Ft Myers unless we wanted to pay over $100 a night.
Relative to the questions; we have stayed here just north of Sarasota. They've doubled the size of the park since we were there. Nice people, big sites (for a private park in FL) and close to stuff.
On RV Park Reviews (now called campgroundreviews.com), use the rating for comparison. Our general rule is to skip any place rated below 7.5. Beware of parks with a low number of reviews because of the small sample. Also if you see a bad review, look at the other reviews from that person. If all his/her reviews are bad, they
are probably just unhappy people to begin with and no place is going to be good enough.
Edit: I just realized that this thread is 5 years old. DOH!
