The snowbird crowd is ageing

It is interesting to read about the new snowbirds that want to be spontaneous in their travel but don't like that they get put in the less desirable spots. Well guess what, those folks that stay there for two or three months or more over the winter season are the folks that enable the park owner to pay the bills. The overnighters, or weekly visitors are not a reliable source of income. The owner does not know if they will be there are not. Accordingly, those willing to make a longer term stay commitment are going to get the more desireable spots. This is nothing different than we have noticed in some parks during our summer travels. The seasonal sites have the better shade trees, wider spaces, etc. Do we feel slighted? No, we don't expect the park owner to save the prime spots for us when we will only be there a few nights. It is not all about us. We are just pleased there are parks out there in the areas we visit. If we are really unhappy about the accomodations, we just mark that park off the list of those we would return to.
