You might find a better bargain by going by Air to Costa Rica, Bermuda etc.
for about ten days.
Key West is a tourist trap from way on back and nothing is cheap there.
My last trip to Miami area the overnight parking for out 32 foot RV was only
$26.00 but the park was not near anything but the mesquites.
Texas mornings are 22 to 33 degrees and about 40 to 45 Degrees in the
afternoons.
It might be some warmer in the Snow Bird Belt down near Brownsville TX and
the Mexican Border.
The area around Jacksonville FL is less expensive .......... check out the
weather information sites.
Possibly you can reach a nice 65-70 degree site for a reasonable figure.

Am freezing my butt up here, it's so grey, cold, humid, i miss the sun....

I got some free time in about 10 days..... wanna go south....

Hey guys, I wanna kill myself, I cannot stand that stupid grey and boring
weather..... I wanna die.. So due to a lack of time, the further I can go is
FL.

But after searching about FL
campgroungs.......(http://www.floridacamping.com/)
I was amaze to see how expensive were the camping fees! (50 to 100$$$$)
That's 65 to 135 a night for me, I better fly there and take a motel!!!

I also feel that FL is a crowded state with no square inches left on the
coast line, I mean I see 100000 RV park but no nice and affordable
campground near the ocean...

Am I wrong!!! I was thinking about the keys... it look nice down there...

Anyone with some good advice on affordable FL camping spot near the ocean,
anywhere in FL, I don't care.

I cannot stand another week here, am waiting for some tune-up parts from
CIP1 and am out of this stupid cold place.....

Cheers, Ben
