We like Wilderness Lakes - and while we've not been back since the next door dairy farm closed (the smell is reportedly much different now), when we get back to the west coast we'll be spending more time there in the winter. We've never had a problem getting a spot, although we tend to reserve several weeks out. And once you make your reservation, you'll have your spot for the duration.
There are lots of kids in the park when school is closed - none of them ours (we're beyond that).
Consider the possibility of buying a full membership on the resale market - one that gets you longer stays than 14 days for zero dollars. Our annual dues are about what your zone pass would cost, and we get 21 day stays, no time out between stays (and usually just 7 days before returning to the same park). And no $3 a day ever. A resale membership can be had for around $2500 one-time. After that, pay your annual dues and stay as much as you want. For a fulltimer, it's the best deal there is.
There are several 1000 trails parks within an easy drive of Wilderness Lakes - Palm Springs is great in the winter, and Pio Pico near San Diego is also nice. We've spent several winters in Southern California, bouncing from park to park, with no daily charges at all.
