    Excellent video! We used to stay here every February and November on water sites. The past 10 years we can’t get ANY site no matter how many times we sit there hitting “Return” from 7:45 to 8:10 am, 11 months out 😖. Can never get into Sunshine Key through TT either, even though standard sites are available if you want to pay $1000 a week. What a bummer!

    • @DownsizingMakesCents
      @DownsizingMakesCents  3 роки тому

      Debbie, it is so hard. We couldn’t get into Bahia or Curry. But we got Pennekamp. Same for us with the TTs. Encores only save so many spots.
      I’m hoping next year there will be less RVers.
      The trick is to keep checking close to date you want. Many people cancel last minute.

Florida State parks no longer use Reserve America. If you have any ideas on how to use this new system, it would be greatly appreciated! Again, thanks for the great videos.

      We don’t have much experience with the new system. We are in Maine right now.
      Really, it’s about cancellations. The closer the date to when you want to go, the more likely there are cancellations since people book 11 months in advance and plans change.
