Snow bird RV parks ?

Google the Rockprt, TX and Port Aransas, TX areas. Lots of RV Parks, near bays and the beach. Great fishing. All costs (gas, food, site rental) are very reasonable. We winter in Rockport for 5 years and finally decided we loved so much we just moved there.

Yup Dick.

Pretty obvious that's where this should be...the Snowbird forum.

Mods??

Hello all,

My wife and I started our fulltime RV life April. We are coming up on our first winter and looking for advice for great RV parks to stay at that offer low long term rates.

I thank you for your advice.

If I was you, I wouldn't do anything long term your first year out. as you don't yet know what you want in a long term park. If in Arizona, you might look at doing some time around Phoenix using PPA in Cal-Am parks (or Coast-to-Coast if you are a member) - that way you can spend time in each park, get a feel for the general area. We spent about 3 years moving around Arizona until we figured out that we really liked the Mesa area the best, then spent time finding the park that we wanted to come back to time and again. We also spent a couple of winters in Florida and South Texas and figured out we didn't want to winter in either. But you have to try them out to understand what you want in a park

What state are you looking at? Snowbirders usually hang out in southern California, Arizona, Texas, Alabama and Florida. How far are you willing to drive? :)

You do like snow, don't you?

We are members of the Escapees RV Club, and we spend part of the winter at the club owned Sumter Oaks RV Park near Bushnell, FL at $340/mo plus electric. The club also owns parks in NM, AZ, and other locations with similar rates. There are also eleven member owned co-op parks locate in AZ(3), CA(2), and one each in FL, NM, NV, OR, TX, and WA. Co-op parks each set their own rates and rules, but the pricing is typically similar to the club owned parks. Club membership is a requirement, but at just $40/yr is well worth it for the variety of member benefits.

You didn't say what part of the country you planned to occupy. We stayed last year in Silver Springs, FL and paid $400 a month + electric/cable. There was a place just east of the that was farther from the city, nicer facilities that was $550 + utilities. We have friends that stayed in Key Largo and paid $4,200 a month for the winter so they could be right on the Gulf. It just all depends on what you want, the amenities you require, what hobbies you have, and how much you want to spend.

I will say that in high value locations, if you don't reserve early you will not have a space. YMMV

Hope you liked our part of the country!!:B
