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 not sure where yet but the high 90s and low 100s doesn't appeal to us too much. what can you possibly do when it's so hot? I hope there are places who cater to the reverse-snow birds out there with affordable rates.Anyone else here a reverse-snowbird?

We like Maine or Atlantic Canada. Love Newfoundland especially. Headed for Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula this summer.Those areas are not low in cost, though. Maine campgrounds are pricey on the coast. The ferry to Newfoundland alone can easily exceed $1000 depending on your RV.

Last summer we did a week in Two Harbors, MN. Very nice area on Lake Superior.

We live in Coastal GA and summer in NJ. NJ can still get hot, but nothing like southeast GA. Plus our campsite is shady and across from a farm, so we always have a nice breeze blowing through.Reasonable? Nothing in NJ is reasonable. For us, it is more about being with family. Our kids are 14 and 12. Our campground is less than 2 miles from both sets of grandparents and most aunts and uncles. We pay $4,000 for a 5 month season.The nice thing about it too is kids are still in school for almost 2 months when we get to the campground. Then it is busy for 2 months and then quiet again for the last month. Our kids are homeschooled and finish up their "school year" while at the campground.-Michael
