We snowbirded for 15 years at the KOA in St Petersburg Fl, before buying a Florida home last fall. St Petersburg/Maderia Beach koa just 5 minutes from the beaches. However I am told there is over a hundred people on a waiting list for a seasonal site and they are already totally booked for next winter and the cost per month runs $1350 plus tax, water, and electricity. While waiting for the house to be completed, (we closed and moved in mid-October) we stayed at the Ocala Sun RV resort. No beach of course, but a nice park and the cost was $850 a month with the only additional cost being electricity. When we pulled out in October, seasonal/monthly sites were still available. Many parks are doing away with seasonal rates and going with strictly daily rates. Site availability is no longer what it used to be, between storms and parks that have sold out to developers.
