I came down for the winter to Florida for the past 6 years straight with OUT reservations and always found a nice place to stay.
I don't do State Parks so I can only speak of regular CG's not right on top of an attraction.
My strategy is find a nice CG alongside the interstate on my way down to the area you like to stay in and pull in for a night or two and next day make phone calls to surrounding CG's.
BTW: I found almost all CG's always leave several sites open for travelers so finding one to stay at for a few days is no problem to use as your base camp to find a CG to stay for the winter. And the CG owners and campers are a GREAT source for info on surrounding CG's.
Every CG I found had had a snowbird or full timer that had changed their plans due to unsuspected family issues and/or financial or plum just decided to quit coming down south. Which nets a late cancellation call to the CG.
Which leaves ME a long term CG site for the winter. :C
