We've spent some winters in south Texas and even in February or March the temps (for Michiganders) is warm enough for shirt sleeves and shorts with the occasional pull-over sweat shirt (more for the statement than for warmth) LOL

The area around Galveston has some "off water campgrounds" that are reasonably priced and there are some further west as well. Almost anywhere "on the Gulf" will be expensive and most "water front campgrounds" will rival Florida for fees...

South Louisiana and the Mississippi Gulf Coast are also good places to stay, but the closer you get to Alabama's "Gulf Shores" and Florida the more expensive it becomes.

The "problem" for us is not the "going south" but the "coming back north"... Logistically, towing the trailer back entails plowing to get it back into the pole barn, trying to unload things that would be damaged by cold and getting the salt off the chassis before storage.... It's easier said than done, at least in our experience, so if you're planning a 1 month trip, you may find it difficult to get your trailer stored upon returning to Michigan.

We've finally given up on returning until after the snow melts and I can park the trailer in the drive to get it cleaned and ready for summer in this area.
