Tampa, FL: Lazy question

Question

We are planning to go to Tampa at Christmas. Our fantasy is to park the camper and spend a few days with family (and sleep at their place).

I’ve done some internet work, and haven’t found great answers.

Does anyone have relevant experience/suggestions?

What did you do?
Who/where?

Two footnotes:

1. Their driveway is not an option.
2. Getting a campsite and not sleeping there is an option, but the fantasy would be a campground with a “storage lot”.

Discussion welcome.

Can't locate a storage lot? Good luck finding a campground for that time period too. They are likely all booked by now. You have a dilemma on your hands with no good answer.

You should be able to find a storage lot that you can store your camper.  We've left our camper at Exit 29 Storage in Brunswick, GA (off I95) for a couple weeks while we stayed with my parents in a rental in Florida.  Cost was quite reasonable.

Ken56 is correct. If you did not make a reservation last year you will not find a spot that is any good. Florida winters are typically booked at least a year in advance and the campgrounds that do have openings may not be very nice. Snowbird country is not a place to wing it. Maybe it would work in July but not the winter. Arizona is pretty much the same.
