We are newly retired and would like to find the name of some good clean and reasonable places to spend the winter months in Central Flordia from either coast:)

Recreation Plantation near The Villages. 55+

We'll be heading down for the first time in a few weeks. I've checked out some reasonably priced, but well rated campgrounds throughout Florida. Here are a couple of ones in the central portion of the state.Wekiva Falls Resort (KOA) -Sorrento, FL - $240/week & $449-$549/month, 800 sites, free cable, north of Orlando.http://www.wekivafallsresort.com/Old Mill Stream - Umatilla, FL - $225-$280/week & $625-$775/month, cable TV, 427 sites, 55+ resort - north of Mt. Dorahttp://oldemillstreamrvresort.com/Traveler's Rest Resort - Dade City, FL - $220/week & $853/month, 672 sites, 25 channel cable TV, many activities, northeast of Tampa.http://www.travelersrestresort.com/Blueberry Hill RV Resort - Bushnell, FL - 404 FHU sites - $210/week & $650/month, cable?, about 60 minues northeast of Tampa.http://www.sunrvresorts.com/blueberryhill.htmlHope this helps.

Go to Campground reviews and most Campgrounds are on there and folks that have stayed at them post there comments on them also the Campgrounds web site and what town they are located at,

There is some good value in CGs in the northern part of the state. Look along Hwy 17, south of Palatka, Fl along the St. Johns river in little towns like Satsuma, Fl re: Half Shell Resort or Welaka. Or maybe along Hwy 40 in the Ocala National Forest around Silver Springs, Fl. And of course Hwy 98 in the panhandle along the gulf coast you'll find favorite wintering spots. RV Park Reviews would be a good source.Weather won't be much worse than central Fl. Prices will be a little cheaper and traffic will be more manageable. Either way, good luck and enjoy.

Be sure to consider Rock Crusher Canyon RV Park in Crystal River. Great state park type atmosphere with all the amenities in great area. Note rates INCLUDE electricity!

Some places in Central Flordia for Snowbird to stay?

We are staying at Ocala Sun RV Resort just south of Ocala. Nice, clean park,reasonable rates, owned by a young family who seem intent on really improving the place. Kinda full right now though.

We stay in a mixed RV/cabin resort about 8 miles from The Villages. It's like country yet there's shopping and some restaurants only 2 miles away. And there's The Villages with great shopping in the other direction. Ocala is 15 minutes away.

I second Rock Crusher. Beautifully landscaped, quiet, nice vegetation "fences" between most sites, great pool and hot tubs.
Another one you might check out is Holiday Springs in Spring Hill, just south of Crystal River. They have a lot of year-round and seasonal residents, but lots of short term sites as well. They have a really unique swimming pool which is actually a natural spring. They build a patio around it. Click here.

We are in Forest Lake RV Park in Zephyrhills. A very nice park and centrally located. There are probably in the neighbourhood of 20 RV parks in and around Zephyrhills. Between Tampa (45 mins.) and Orlanda (about 60 to 75 mins.). And, there are still sites available here to-day!!
