Two things are a must for my wife and myself.
1. Must not be too far from water, since we are canoers and kayakers
2. Must be in a climate that we know is going to stay warm.
That is why we pick Key Largo.
Any place above south Florida is liable to have frost now and then, even though the snow birds that stay up around Ocala won't admit it
Key Largo gives us access to the Everglades National Park (one hour away) and all of the Keys (the Atlantic side and the Florida Bay side)

If this is your first time going for 'months at a time', I wouldn't go to one specific park. I'd try different parks, different areas, different states.
The best places in Florida are booked a year ahead for long term. You would very likely be moving around a lot in the transient sections..week here week there.

We are good on the hunting for CG thing, just interested in what others value.
Our problem is we like it all, social activities, beach, fishing, shopping, boating, sports bars nearby, and local attractions for something to do.
The bottom line for us is cost, if not for limited funds I'm thinking we would be in the Keys for the duration.
If your bottom line is "cost", you might as well forget the Keys and most of south Florida

I have spent the last two winters within an hour of Ocala. I would be happy to admit that on at least two, maybe three occasions, I have seen a very thin sheet of ice on puddle
