Although many Florida campgrounds often fill up in the winter when the snowbirds' flock south, some campers prefer to stay year round. Many campgrounds are happy to lease a campsite for the year because it's guaranteed money during the off season. Most of these sites are for RVs, although some campgrounds also have park models that can be rented for a year. In some cases, operators will offer a significant discount for a year's contract, even if you don't live there year-round.
