Regarding CG's. You can have 10 RV'ers pull into the same CG and you will have 10 different reviews of the CG.
With a motel all you want is a clean bed and bathroom for the night
CG's all vary with amenities, layout, ambiance, etc.
Each and every RV'er has their own needs and wants and what they like and what they don't like.
Here is what I do. Actually 'after' my first newbie trip as a Snowbird. I would never book extended stays at a CG I have never seen period.
Before you go back home or your extended stay time is up......
Allow an extra week before you head home.
Look up different CG's in the area you want to stay at next time and go and stay one night or two there and get the feel of the CG. Then find another one and stay a night to see what it's like till you find one you really like.
That way when you book your next trip south you won't be going in blind. There are SO many CG's down here I think the average RV'er misses out on a ton of great, spacious with trees, nice CG's
And honestly? I have never reserved a CG for the winter in Florida. Albeit I also refuse to stay at popular sardine packed parking CG's though, no matter where it is at or what it offers.
All CG's almost 'always' have a couple of spots saved for RV travelers to stop in for the night. Everyone I have pulled into for the night to see the CG has ultimately had a cancellation and since I am already in their CG I get the spot! I might stay one month or two and then move on to another one.
Great CG options in Florida are endless -- versus just looking up a popular site on line and booking it. And by God the state of Florida is huge! The sun doesn't only shine in the far south, expand your horizons!!:W:C
