I would say we are close to 50% filled but this is an ownership park and lot owners tend to arrive earlier and stay later.
If you're a mobile RV'er it costs lets say $30/night or $200/week for limited hookups. Makes a lot of financial sense to rush down to a lot that is owned where you don't incur that expense. Guessing that's why people buy lots in the first place is to conserve money, and hopefully make some Ka'ching when they sell them (or at least recover their investment.)
If you don't own a lot, then you have the freedom to spend that money in various places along the route south. The rub comes in when the monthly rate becomes roughly the cost of 2.5 weeks on the road. Then a person has to settle down for the winter if they have a budget to watch.
Even then, the month of November is beautiful in many places south of I10. The Emerald Coast is one of them, as is central Texas. Both places you can get monthly rates easily and have a slow enjoyable trip to the deep south for the coldest part of the winter.
YMMV
