Florida's full

LOL, I think you can make reservations 7 months in advance, so a good time to make those reservations would have been last September or maybe October. FL State Parks are always full in the winter and are mostly full the rest of the year.

Plenty of room at the State parks here in Michigan. Beautiful this weekend, bright sun, bright snow, great ice if you like to fish.

Florida state parks are available for reservations eleven months to the day at Reserve America.
But be aware that the farther south you go the quicker they fill up, and the Keys are immediately gone at 8:00 AM and south Florida goes next.

FL SP reservations can be made 11 months in advance. For high traffic weeks such as Easter we book at 8AM exactly that far out.

Plenty of places to park in the FL Panhandle. Have you checked State Forests, National Forests, Wildlife Management Areas, Corp of Engineers, municipal parks? You may not get hookups or sexy amenities, but you can find a some beautiful spots. lizzie

We make our Florida state park reservations usually within the first 30 seconds or so of the 11 month reservation window opening at 8:00am for the dates we want. It's not unusual for the more popular parks to fill up within the first minute or two. For us, that means we're making next winters reservations while we're in Florida for the current winter.

Like others said... 11 months is usually the open period and they usually book up IMMEDIATELY!

We lost our February spot in 2016 when our boy was born and we didn't make the trek down south with a 2 month old. We haven't been able to get a spot back yet. Last year the waitlist was 100 names long in a campground with about 65 spots... and they stopped taking names long before we called in March!!!

Fuel prices seem to be creeping back up (or so it seems). That might tamper down some excitement from less "devoted" campers!

You might find this link helpful. It gives you vacancies at the Florida State Parks for the upcoming weekend. Cancellations, I guess.

Check the military famcamps. Destin, Mobile, and a few others down there. Good luck,

Thanks Speak Easy. That is an excellent site to use as it directs you to alternative parks.
