  • For the warmer temps you have to be below Tampa/Orlando. Above that you can see temps in the upper 30's sometimes worse depending on how aggressive a cold front is. We have stayed at Rock Crusher Canyon and it's very nice with a nice pool and club house and it has spacious sites. Crystal River is a nice little town that basically revolves around fishing and the Manatees.
    I've also been in south Georgia when the temps have been mid 20's in January.

    I am not sure the Canadians will be coming down to FL this year so you might try calling a few resorts and inquire about openings. Be prepared to pay big bucks.
  • Do not delay in making reservations! The good parks will be booked.
  • Coastal Georgia RV resort in Brunswick is a nice place. Close to Jekyll Island, and small town activities etc.
  • If you mean soon then you probably will have problems going south of Orlando, most of those may already be booked. North of Orlamdo/I-4 is workable. There are many RV parks in the Ocala National Forest east of Ocala. That is close to some excellent springs: Alexander, Juniper and Salt Springs. Do a goofle search for "ocala national forest rv" and I think you'll find plenty.

    I've driven past this place but never have stayed there is Rock Crusher Canyon resort But there have been many positive comments on it here. There is a big resort RV camp in Williston.

    If you want actual beach access then forget the west coast of Florida north of Tampa until you get well into the panhandle.

    Now this is just based on passing thru the area but south GA is mainly taken up by the Okefenokee Swamp so RV camps may be limited or in swampy areas. Unless you get near the southeast corner near the ocean maybe.
  • Search for snowbird and read for days; months. In general to make use of the pool you need to be south of the Orlando latitude in the winter unless you like 60 degree weather.
  • Two winter months in either FL or south GA, rather than Cincinnati? My tongue-in-cheek recommendation would be ANYWHERE!

    Seriously, way too many places to even begin mentioning. I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses, however.

    Regardless, enjoy your non-Cincinnati winter!! :C
