Since this is your first extended stay as a snowbird, why would you want to stay in one park for 3 months? We were snowbirds for 10 years and we traveled from park to park. If we liked a place, we stayed longer...if we didn't, we moved on. Sure, you get lower rates for a 3 month stay, but one of the major advantages of RVing is having the freedom to travel and sightsee. Isn't that one of the main reasons you bought a RV? After you've roamed the West you'll know where you want to nest for the winter next year. Yes, some of the parks may be full, but we've noticed that the last several years, the RV parks have far more available spaces than in previous years. If they are full, just drive until you find an available park. Maybe some other RVer can comment on park reservations versus roaming. Whatever you decide, safe travel and best of luck.
