Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
My wife , Patsy, and I have short time camped close to home for the last 30 yrs. no more than two weeks at a time. I went to work from the campground. I'm retiring next July and we are planning on spending our winters in Florida. Starting after Chrstmas untill mid March or so. We would appretiate any and all info or suggestions on favorite campground locations, rates or just your favorites in general. Please give us your ideas and hope to see you all there. Happy Holidays and Happy Camping.
Hi Jerry...we have a lot in Central Florida, Salt Springs Resort in the middle of Ocala National Forest...very nice and central place...we are on lot 293
We agree with the previous poster, in that we like the middle of the state. We are in Avon Park which is north of Sebring and about 100 miles to either coast. A lot less traffic and less crowed for shopping, also the rates for Resorts are a lot less. You need to come down for a season and than take trips to different areas and decide for yourselves where you would like to stay in the future. The further South you go the warmer the weather, as we are about 120 miles south of Ocala and usually run 5 to 8 degrees warmer. It's your choice, but come down and enjoy the weather.

Have you looked at www.rvreviews.com to find an area or park that meets your needs? I find the reviews helpful, if you take an average. Some people rate a park low if the wi-fi is weak, others if the grass is not green and manicured. Look at all the ratings, read the comments and make a decision based on YOUR wants and needs, then enjoy.
When you select a city and have looked at the reviews, notice in the upper right hand corner of the page a listing of nearby cities with RV parks. Helps to find an area you will be happy with.
On edit, I had posted essentially the same reply on your other query, thought my post had evaporated, so I re-answered the query here.

We are at Wilderness RV Estates right now in Silver Springs, Florida.It's close to shopping in Ocala but out of town a little on the edge of the Ocala National Forest.You can be at the Ocean in an hour if that's what you want.Weather has been a little chilly the last two weeks but is warming up again.

RVing probably not a reality any more.It was a good time while it lasted.
We are going to Sebring, Fla and will be there on 1 Jan 11 until Mar. We spent the last two winters in Gulf Shores and was there and left and returned to home base because of our furr kid. Montana seems to be better so we are going back South.

We are in Tampa, Fl and are here until mid-April. The big thing with wintering in Florida is the cost. RV parks and lots run the gamut .... do a lot of homework to find an affordable place that is convenient to the beaches, shopping, trails etc, etc. This is what our park give us. At $11.60 per day we can't complain... but to get this price you have to stay 6 months. Their structure is $550 for the first 3 months, $450 for the 4th month and FREE for the following 2 months. You can also extend your stay for a flat rate of $350 per month.

That is a good price for Florida..enjoy your winter.
My husband and I spend our winters in Florida.....We are over in Largo, FL on the West Coast just outside of Clearwater. We stay in a nice little park....if you want more info. send me a private message and I will send along more details. We have been here for 6 years. It is close to our kids and grandkids. We are close to lots of stores and about 4 miles from the beaches. Hope you find something you are looking for
