For the past 3 winters we have headed West & South from Upstate NY visiting friends/family and parks mostly in TX and points around LA, MS, AL etc. For this next winter (2022/2023) we're planning on returning to visit friends/family in Florida. We've rented homes there in the past, mostly along the West coast but have never done any RVing thereabouts.
Input I get from friends who do take their RVs to FL suggests that it can be very difficult if not almost impossible to get prime campsites in FL during the winter given the great demand. In any event it seems one can't start too early to make reservations and to that end I have set up and account on the FL State Parks website and started poking around.
Perhaps folks with more experience in making reservations could offer some suggestions, tips and such? We stay pretty much exclusively in State, US, COE and other types of parks. Private parks are a last resort.
We typically travel for 3-4 months departing around mid-December. One thought was to perhaps start later, spend some time in FL then visit some sites coming back North along the East coast as the weather improves along toward Spring.
(PS: Our interest in FL next year has nothing at all to do with the fact that it was down to 15 degrees overnight here in Texas. Yeah, right... )
