We would like to drive down maybe in January without trailer to one of these areas. Looking for advice or recommendations firstly as newbies which state....secondly where can we find a rental for 30 days nearby. Thank you all in advance!
Florida would not be my choice because of the high rates of covid cases and deaths. I would choose Ariz. first and Calif. 2nd. In Ariz. there are many more RV parks that offer RV stays for months at a time. Calif. has fewer RV parks that offer long-term stays and are generally more expensive. Generally "snow Birders" make RV reservations for 3 to 4 months from Nov. to March which are the ideal weather conditions. Spring and summer is really hot weather. Generally the longer your stay in Ariz. the lower the rates. I would look for RV parks/resorts 15 to 20 miles west of downtown Phoenix
in towns like Surprise.
Generally, you have to make reservations a year in advance.
I would also consider Oregon for RV longer-term stays. But making reservations in advance is strongly suggested. The Oregon coast is beautiful but tends to be very busy in the summer months.
