After last month in Florida the only young families we saw were at Universal checking out the Harry Potter theme park section.
Don't forget St Petersburg is fondly called God's waiting room!

I'd take a look at Santee Lakes. The town of Santee is a suburb of San Diego, about 30 min East. The town itself is very nice, with a lovely town square that has all of the up-to-date major stores. You can pick up the trolley in the town square and easily visit most anywhere in San Diego.

Santee Lakes Park is actually a county park with 7 lakes and an RV park on one end. It's VERY family friendly. The Lakeshore Loop has smaller sites and a lot of families who come in for short vacations. It's pretty busy. The Willow Loops and Oak Loops are more spacious, quieter, and have the long-term sites.

Good luck with that. Know what you mean. Turned away by blue-shirts (Lake Havasu) because of 5 pedal bikes draped around the Pace Arrow...no parks accepted children in YUMA so we spent New Years in a field at Gila River campground instead of with the in laws.

Many good suggestions here since it sounds as if your fairly stationary. We found children in parks where park models were included in the scheme of things. A lot of parks back then did not allow children and when they did there was a daily extra charge each.

Alas when the darts stopped in mid air because it was 7pm we packed up all our nerve and headed SOB and never looked back.

Boy does *that* story ring a bell with us. Wife's parents were in a Yuma "adults only" park and we had to practically hock the house to get a spot for Christmas 15 years ago. Our 17-year-old daughter couldn't walk through the park alone... she had to be "escorted". We felt incredibly unwanted.

To this day we drive past Yuma. No chance we'll stay there... too hot in the summer and too COLD (in the way that counts the most) all the time.
