It may be too early now to book for winter 2018 full season, but it's a good time to gather info.
Satisfied people often come back year after year and have friendships at the snowbird parks. One thing I noticed is that often the very popular parks (like in the Keys) will start next season's bookings at the end of the current season (around April) by offering next year's sites to returning full-season snowbirds, with a deadline to book. Then they contact the full season new people/returning partial-season, and so on. By the end of summer, they might take shorter overnight bookings.
As sort of a rule of thumb, the further south you get and the nearer the coasts, the higher the price.
We just got into a park in the keys after waiting 9 months to book for 2018. We were first on the wait list when we call Jan 1 trying to book for 2018. We got in as one person is not returning. We wanted to be on the water/beach. I'm sure the larger inland parks are easier to get into but it's all about location and temperature.
Good luck and decide early if you can would be my advice.
