Winter on the Gulf Coast.

Being close to the ocean you will need to wash your rig with fresh water to reduce rust. I give mine a good under wash anytime I drive close to the ocean even if I do not camp on the beach.

My first beach camping (Point Mugu, CA) trip produced more rust on my rig in one week than I normally get here in NM in 5 years. BTW I was in Corpus Christi the year they had 4-5 inches of snow on Christmas :S, so watch the weather forecast as you go along.

I too will endorse the state parks from TX to FL. We did not have any trouble getting sites but we traveled in Nov not Dec-Jan.

Well CC's snow was a first for us after so many long years and we loved it. It was gone in no time, by the next day (dang it). We didn't break out any snow shovels for it, besides who has them here? We do have a wind problem here during that time of the year. Lots of wind. I didn't care for the CG's in Rockport, Aransas Pass or Fulton, since sites are too close together. I would go visit them (and I'm here from Corpus Christi - CC) with my MH and just didn't care for the close comfort. I BBQ with mesquite and worried about my smoke drifting into their site. Myself, being a fool, I want to travel up north where it is colder with more room between camp sites. If I could get away with the long drive out of Texas, I'd definitely hit LA, MI or AL. But alas I have a son in high school and I'm totally solo, a widow now. So that determines my driving distance and my stays.
