California – The perfect weather and the option of luxurious amenities or bare-bones parking make Southeastern California one of the top five snowbird destinations.

7. Coachella Valley is a golfer’s paradise, offering beautifully maintained greens and world-class courses. Whether you stay in Palm Springs or any of the other 10 desert resort cities the snowbird will enjoy majestic landscapes, graceful palms and clear blue skies while surrounded by luxury and all the modern conveniences.

8. The Slabs – Located near Niland, this abandoned World War II military base offers totally free, no-service dry camping to thousands of snowbirds every winter. For a small fee water and dumping facilities are located in nearby Niland. For those on a budget, this is one way to escape the blizzards of the North without spending a whole lot of money.

Texas – This is where snowbirds are called "Winter Texans" and welcomed with open arms

9. Rio Grand Valley – From Brownsville to Mission along the southern border of Texas, thousands of Midwesterners and Canadians come to escape the frozen North. Although the Valley is at the same latitude as Key West, Florida, it’s definitely cooler and more wet. There are a great number of RV parks, with the largest parks offering a variety of activities. Dancing of all kinds (ballroom, round, western, square and line dancing) is the most popular activity in the Valley among winter Texans.

Gulf Coast – Ranging from the western edge of the Florida Panhandle to the eastern edge of Texas

10. Along the Gulf Coast from Alabama to Louisiana the snowbird will enjoy southern hospitality along with boating, beaches, golf and gambling. The weather is fairly mild, but can sink down to freezing with even occasional snowflakes being seen, before warming up enough for an excursion to a restored antebellum plantation house.

Each of the top ten snowbird destinations offers something for every RVer. Having spent time in many of these locations I can tell you that each one has something to recommend it. Before you set off into the unknown you might want to check with your snowbird friends and acquaintances to tell you about their favorite winter destination.
