I would prefer the Sarasota area and up to about 50 miles north of there and maybe up to as far as 75 miles inland.

What is the best search site to find these, preferably a site where I can filter by wants?

There is a several mile row of RV dealers in Fort Myers on I-95. I'd start by talking to them.

Buy an RV lot? RV lots are commonly rented in a campground.

Mobile home lots can be bought in resident owned MH park. Not the same.

Nope.....you can buy a RV lot. Lots of places.

It is also very common to lease a RV lot for a lifetime. LOTS, LOTS of options out there.

I have a lifetime lease in an RV cooperative. Those are really good deals, particularly if you like living in a "socialistic" environment.

Many ROC (Resident owned communities) DO NOT sell individual lots, they sell "Shares" of the entire community (Sometimes based on your lot size, sometimes not).

Very tough to find zoning / planning to sell individual RV lots. Most often it is a 'lifetime' lease. (not title / deed held property). Good idea! would be next to impossible to manage shoebox sized 'lot' ownership issues!

rocusa.org is an example of 'cooperative' owned Mobile Home parks. (not individual lot ownership).

I owned an RV lot. We rented it out when we weren’t there.

I know this one. Might not be where you want but it’s not too much farther.

River Ranch RV Resort - Located near Westgate River Ranch

Saddlebag lake in Lake Wales is another.

Much of that is one dealer who is apparently the largest RV dealer in the world.

Curious what the downside of buying your own lot and using it for a few months out of the year ---usually there are HOA fees, taxes that you have to pay - most have utilities already set up. Was looking at some NC mountain sites to get out away from the FL heat every summer.

I have an acquaintance who owns something similar up in Michigan and can't get rid of it and it almost sounds like he's got a time-share problem.
