Wintering in Florida Recommendations?

[lloyd&pamela]

We are going to winter in Florida this year and would like to get any recommendations for places to stay.

We would like to do one month stays in three places: 1. near Seaside, 2, near Sarasota or Naples, and 3. near Key West.

We know the prices are high we just want to find nice places and get our reservations made a soon as possible since we have been told it is difficult to find places if you don't stay 5 months.

Any recommendations for campgrounds or owner sites we can rent for a month.

Thanks everyone.

Lloyd,

Try Pelican Lake RV Resort in Naples. Expensive but a great facility.

Lloyd,

We stayed at the Larry and Penny Thompson Campground in Miami for a month. The place was great, good layout, nice people, safe and it's unbelievably cheap (I think it was about $15.00 per day w/ 50 amp if you get the monthly rate).

We like Miami and liked being close to the keys.

Lloyd,
Pelican Lake used to be expensive but Johnnie and the Ohio team stayed too long and drove down all our property values. So its not as expensive as it once was.

Outdoor Resorts at Port St. Lucie is a great Resort. They have some 125+ lots for sale and with the market slow rented them for 1/2 price last year. You may want to check it out for this coming year. Rent was $900/ month last year.

Rick,

That may be true, but we had one helluva' time eating into your kids inheritance?

Thank you, we will look into each of these. Has anyone stayed in Key West we were told there were a couple of nice campground there?

We love Seaside on the panhandle and for years used to stay the month of December in one of the cottages, so we love the area. Since we have the bus we would like to find a campground in the area near Seaside or Grayton Beach, anyone have any experience there?

Are Bill and Jody still living in Florida, we wanted to see them while we were there and do not know there name on POG?

The closest you're going to find to Seaside will be in Panama City Beach or Destin. We're in the area so could do some checking around if you want. Do you want on the water or it doesn't matter?

[lloyd&pamela]

On or near the water if possible. Thanks
