Oct/Nov Camping

Looking to travel south from Indiana during Oct/Nov, but how far south will keep temps in the 60s?

Tennessee? Georgia?

We spent last October and the first two weeks of November in Etheridge, TN. The daytime temps were in the mid 70's and the nights were in the high 40's/low 50's most nights. It was great motorcycle riding weather (when it wasn't raining). Depending on where you're considering, altitude will be a bigger factor than latitude.

That would be perfect. My wife suffers Reynauld's attacks in cold weather but we wanted to do a late camp this year since we just moved from a pop up to a used fifth wheel. I see David Crockett State Park is near there. Maybe we will try that!

David Crockett State Park is just west of Lawrenceburg, almost in town actually, and has some pretty good facilities. They do not have full hookups, only water/electric, so take a blue tank with you or you'll be moving the trailer every couple of days.

There is a campground in Ethridge, called Heritage Campground and RV Park. It's not "fancy" and some of the sites are fairly tight, but all "pull-through" in the rows. We stayed in the back-in site on the back row next to the fence on the far west side of the campground. There were open fields on the west (awning side of the trailer) and a horse barn behind the trailer. I'd imagine in the summer there would be a problem with flies from the horse barn, but when we were there, it wasn't bad at all, and the view of the sunset while sitting under the awning every evening was fantastic.

There are some "permanent residents" in seasonal sites, so expect a few "very old trailers without the "new look and appeal" throughout the campground. Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our talks with anyone we met in the campground. It's not expensive and you definitely get "value for dollars" with what you pay for a site. https://heritagecampgroundrv.com/

Anywhere around that area, be prepared for Amish "horse and buggy traffic" and every Friday/Saturday a ride through the back roads can produce some fantastic cinnamon rolls and home-made goodies.

If you're not in a hurry to get south you may try The Natchez Trace Parkway. Low speed limits. Some camping but with no utilities. Might be a boring drive to some, but sometimes boring is a good thing. Should be able to find full hook up campgrounds near the parkway.
You can find 60 degree weather about anywhere south, and anytime.
