Located on the Atlantic side of the state, between Miami and Cape Canaveral, Suncoast RV Resort offers a location that rarely dips below 50 degrees, even in the dead of winter, an appealing prospect for snowbirds. To directly reach this customer, Suncoast offers what they call a 6 + 6 Month Special. You pay the $150 deposit and $2,100 site rent up front ($350 monthly rate for six months), and you can store your RV unit on site for six months at the rate of $50 monthly. This option appeals to vehicle owners who would rather not move their rig back and forth every year. If traveling from far away, you'd likely spend the storage rate in gas alone.

Bay Bayou RV Resort park is located on Florida's Gulf side, in the city of Tampa, which means one can expect moderate year round temperatures here also. Perfect for snowbirds and others interested in reasonable rates for long term rentals. This RV park's rate sheet is a little more convoluted but generally it costs $800-$1000 monthly during the winter and a little over $500 monthly in the summer. Save some by paying several months in advance. The park itself was rated one of the to 100 trailer parks by the Good Sam Club. With amenities like fishing docks, Wi-Fi internet access everywhere, 6,000 square foot clubhouse, heated pool, kayaking, a fenced dog run, and plenty of organized activities, maybe the monthly rate, which sits on the high end of average, is worth it to you.

Just north of Tampa, on the banks of the Withlacoochee River, is the Riverside RV Resort, which used to be a fish camp but was turned into an RV park by a couple who came to Florida from Germany to escape the cold. For extended stays, you get a better rate the longer you're there. A single month costs $600 but a three month stay is only $1,200, so snowbirds looking to relocate for the winter season can save a significant amount. The Riverside Lodge's location away from major attractions and beaches might be just what you're looking for. At nearly half the price of some other options, Riverside is an excellent option for those on a fixed income.
