I would appreciate any recommendations on an RV resort for Dec-Apr....This would be our year fleeing the Colorado winters !

Lot's of nice ones here in FL. Gulf Waters is very nice close the beaches and shopping. Welcome to Gulf Waters RV Resort It does fill up early for Jan - Mar.
Would enjoy have another mile high resident in our area for the winter.

If you have military base access, McDill and Patrick AFBs are (or at least were) nice. Haven't been to either in years.

Texas is cheaper and less crowded than Florida. You have to look a little harder to find a really nice place in Texas but it can be done. If you go far south in Florida the weather, on average, will be a little warmer and nicer but Texas is good and cheaper for the same quality. All JMHO 🚌🚓

We're in a really nice resort in Elberta Al. Lake Osprey RV Resort and Country Club. Lots for rent or sale.
About 6 or 7 miles from the Gulf. Been here since last Wednesday and moving on tomorrow.

Riverbend RV Resort in LaBelle Florida is an extremely nice park. The only problem is it fills up early for the time frame you requested.

Willow Lakes RV and Golf Resort At Cape Canaveral. Extremely reasonable, beautiful grounds, heated pool, on site golf course, live entertainment in a spacious club house. But most importantly very very nice folks. Book early, I mean like NOW. We stayed last year and have now moved hear as our home base. Very private, no heavy traffic. Check it out. I spoke to three IRV2 members last season two bought property hear. That's says good things.

For those considering either of these two....absolutely 1 year in advance, make the call. And if you want a spot at McDill, make that call 1 year i advance on 1 Oct, meaning you start in October because one year in advance in November puts you on a waiting list. It'll be full by 1 November (even if the people haven't arrived yet, they pay ahead for time until the plan to arrive). Now for Patrick, checked it out last year...not good (half doesn't have sewer hookups and the other half is full. I would not recommend this park as, except for location, was not impressed. JMHO

Les1951,

It might help get you more responses if you either narrow down the area of Florida or if you want to be inland vs near beach's or in other words some ideas of what you want.
The prices in Florida are most often determined by LOCATION or if you want a TRUE RESORT. As an example we just left the Port Charlotte area and stayed 4 months for about $1K a month at a very nice park with concrete site and 40+ feet between rigs while just down the street was a true resort with pavers, landscaping etc for $2K a month. There are inland parks that are very nice , affordable , but not really close to the hustle and bustle which may be or not be what you are looking for.

You have a lot of options in Florida. Just know that the rates increase as you get south of I-4. There are a few really nice parks in central Florida and their rates are far better than southern Florida. Just know that north of I-4 there may be a hand full of days that the temps get below freezing. I live on the Nature Coast (Crystal River area) if I can be of any help.

I used to recommend campgroundreviews.com but I'm not a big fan of the site since they revamped it. There's probably still good information in the reviews, but searching an area rather than city is almost impossible last time I went over there.
