Possible???

How hard will it be to find a place to stay a week at a time in Georgia ,Alabama and Northern Florida in January and Febuary without reservations? Thanks Tara
  • The majority of the snow bird types are south of I-4. The panhandle should be fine except the popular state parks. Even at that, we went through there if Feb of 2016 and did reservations as little as 3 weeks in advance. Be flexible and forget southern Florida and it is possible.
  • Caysea7254.... knowing how you like to camp from your other posts I don't foresee a problem. You're not one to go to the most popular, expensive parks... or have you changed? :) There are always parks to stay if you're not particular. Moving around is a good idea as a new full-timer! Best of luck to you in your new lifestyle!!

    We've found it's best to pull in on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning to secure a site without reservations. That's how we traveled for 16 years of full-timing. This even worked for Yellowstone.
  • Try http://www.suwanneeriverrendezvous.com/ just outside Mayo, Fla. They had spaces available when we were there last January and February. We also enjoyed the ice storm.

    Nearest reasonable supplies are in Live Oak.

    Also try Kelly's in Callahan. http://kellyscountrysidervpark.com/

    I think it'll be real tough south of around Ocala.
  • Should not be a problem, most Snowbirds go further south.
  • Northern Florida should be alright but having said that the nice State Parks like Topsail and Grayton Beach could fill up so I would reserve them

    Recommend Coastal Georgia RV Resort,Brunswick,Georgia Its a very nice park in a great area
  • We live in Florida, Its the winter snow birds and retired folks....the best camp grounds are always booked

    Look in your Good Sam Camp Ground book and then just call them.
