dawndowd Report post Posted October 25, 2018 I need to find a location within an hour of an airport from 2/27 through 3/14/19. My husband will be away for much of the time in the Bahamas fishing. We tow so I can get around and see things. I was aiming toward Sarasota but am open to anywhere, really. I'd deeply appreciate any recommendations -- and I know it's late in the game to be finding a really great place in the south for March... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rayin Report post Posted October 26, 2018 That is not impossible, however it is improbable. IMO the best bet is to look for vacancies in the interior of FL, about half way between the East and West coasts. The vast majority of RV parks have a 3-month minimum reservation for the winter season(peak). That is also the beginning of spring-break, which lasts until the end of March. At any given week in March there are at least 6 colleges on spring-break at the same time. This website lists virtually all RV parks in Florida: https://www.campflorida.com/ Spend some time on the phone calling RV parks where you desire to stay is your best bet at this late date. There is another option if you are willing to stay in a state park, most do not have on-site sewer hookup though. https://www.reserveamerica.com/outdoors/florida-camping.htm ReserveAmerica offers the unique ability for you to look up available campsites on the web and view a calendar showing booked and available dates. Exactly how current their information is I can't say. EDIT: This is an afterthought, I suggest beginning your search with: https://www.campflorida.com/Campground/331/Larry-amp-Penny-Thompson-Park-amp-Campground,Miami,FL/ as it is near major airports, shopping, activities, etc. Every RV park you contact, if they are full for those dates, ask to be put on their cancellation list, you may get lucky at the last minute; just remember to call them back if/when you do find a spot, to be courteous.

manholt Report post Posted October 26, 2018 Due to the CAT 5 Hurricane, a lot of RV's that had their season parks destroyed, are now doing, what your doing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaypsmith Report post Posted October 26, 2018 Take a look at this park, 8 miles east or I-75 on I-10 in lake city Florida, 60 miles west of Jacksonville Fl., airport which is a full service airport, 45 miles north of Gainesville Fl., a secondary airport. The park is a very nice park and the owners are fantastic towards their guests. http://lakecityrvresort.com/ The probability of getting a site there is usually very good, especially since you have a good lead time for making reservations.

ispjs Report post Posted November 3, 2018 Try Creekside RV Resort, Punta Gorda FL. They were adding a section last fall when we left Florida and there could be a possibility they are not completely booked. It is a couple miles from Punta Gorda airport and about 20 miles from Ft Myers airport. Probably anything else in SW Florida will be booked and want to put you on a waiting list.
