Reverse snow-birds.
Since we bought property here in FL and plan to move here in less than a year, we will be reverse-snowbirds. Come the summer heat and bugs here in FL, we will head north for the hottest months. I'm no...

Go north! Come to Canada where your dollar goes further :)
We can't cross the border because my husband carries a handgun (he has a permit) for protection when on the road.
We also heard that the Canadian CGs are very expensive there in the summer. We would need a place for at least 4 months, maybe longer.
I think you are going to have a problem finding many parks that will have reduced rates for monthly stays in those areas, since they do all of their business for the year during the summer. We head north to Seattle in the spring and have to juggle finding spots between membership parks and other parks because monthly rates are non-existent just for the summer. Now annual spots are available, but there is no way I could spend the winter in the PNW now - - can't take the months of rain.
Yes, the cost of Canadian CG seems higher, but with the exchange rate so favorable now, I don't think that would be a problem. Lots of people arrange to store their guns with gun dealers in border states (like Maine) and pick them up on their return to the states. We loved the Maritimes - especially Nova Scotia.
For a monthly stay, you might want to try Pumpkin Patch outside of Bangor, Maine. They did do monthlys when we were there, but that has been several years ago. But it was a great park and we used it as our base to see Bar Harbor, Arcadia National Park, etc.
