No first hand experience, but we know four couples that own pads in FL at four different places. 3 around FT Myers, 1 in Davenport. They all love it. A couple of them are very involved in the Hoa’s and active in running activities and events. One just likes to chill and play golf. The other is more like us in that they like to travel around. They bought in Davenport because they have a daughter that works at Disney so they spend a lot of time there as their “home base” but go camping throughout the state to see and do different things. They feel they can afford to spend time away because their taxes and hoa fees are very affordable compared to many places. Be sure to read the fine print in the park rules, some parks are nothing like campgrounds, no fires, no pets, no motorcycles or scooters etc, etc if you care about those things.
We rented a condo for a couple of winters and found we became bored with being in one place too long. We bought the Montana so we could bring our house with us and we have picked out 3 locations, Ft Myers, Pinellas, St Augustine, to spend a month at each with a week or 2 on the front and back end at different places. This is our second year at the parks we are at. Next year we may drop one of the parks and add another month to another, or just move to another place and see something different. We spent a week over in the Port St Lucie area on our way down this year at a COE campground and liked the area, we may spend a little more time there next year. That’s just us, there are rv parks everywhere here to buy or rent, maybe renting in a couple different ones to try them out and then buy might be a good option, although nothing is getting any cheaper, renting or buying.
