South fort Myers Fla. Campings

[Bfleishell]

I am looking for a reasonable camp ground in the southern fort Myers and Napels area. For the months of January , February and March of 2019. Has to be pet friendly. This will be our first time out this long and this time of year. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

January thru march is the high season and rates go up, way up. You need to start researching and calling parks you think will suit your needs and ask questions. Use RVParkreviews.com and RVPARKY app to find parks in the areas you would like to go to. Good luck.

My cousin winters at Upriver (at Fort Myers), together with a group of other bikers who ride around from bar to bar and party a lot when they are together in the campground. The CG is pet friendly as well as biker friendly.

I assume your "reasonable" is about cost. South Florida costs what it costs, there is not a lot of variation except that it tends to cost more being farther south or closer to the beach. But whatever the cost, if you like to party with old bikers, Upriver is worth looking into.

We’re staying at Naples KOA but I had a hard time getting a week, 100 a night. There is a place south of Everglades City you could try.

Even the dumps down here are expensive in-season. And you are DEFINITELY in-season. $40 will get you sleeping under a bridge. Don't expect anything near civilization to be less than $50-$60 per night - providing they have any availability.

Here's a place that's not too bad, but out in the middle of the Everglades... the middle of nowhere. http://www.bigcypressrvresort.com/rates.php

and jplante4 is right: down here in-season you need to book almost a year in advance.

We were looking south of Sarasota in the winter of 15/16 and everything "reasonable" was booked. People find a place they like and booked it for this year when they left last year. You literally have to wait for someone to die.

Now, if you want to pay $125 a night...

You probably should define `reasonable' for Florida in the winter.
