When the Snowbirds are Gone

I dunno. Just looks like a big "parking lot". Don't think I'd really like that. Some trees or bushes or something between lots would be nice. Is that the way most Florida CG's look?

Interesting because that is exactly where I go to get out of the heat and cool off

:B

I've spent years in extended travel, most often staying in government campgrounds enjoying the space and natural ambiance. However, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my, on again/off again, membership with Passport America for the occasional discount.

This year, I wintered in north Florida to be close to family. The park's monthly rate of $480 including electric was reasonable for all the amenities offered and it's close proximity to town. The plentiful live oak trees gave the impression of "old Florida", but the location on a 4 lane U.S. Highway contributed a lot of noise 24/7. Plus, I was a sardine in a can. There's not many commercial parks that have MY definition of the "it" factor. Spending the winter at a 6 screen drive-in, sans the big screens, is not my cup of tea. To each, their own.:D

It always amazes me how different the parks look without the snowbirds. I just commented to DH about a park we pass quite often how different it looks now. It started to thin out around end of March and now it's has very few RVs.
