See Ya' Down The Road

 
Many RVers like to spend three months in one campground in Florida during the winter as a way of saving money, but we choose to move often and save on campground fees. In 2003 we spend 78 days in Florida in prime season and averaged $12 a day for camping. It included boondocking, using Coast to Coast and Good Neighbor Park Campgrounds and staying in some of the nicest resorts in Florida. Actually, the first two nights were on the road traveling from Kentucky to Florida.
