Don't miss New Orleans! It can be as "touristy" or not as you make it. We loved the jazz, the people watching and the jambalaya - and we're usually not foodies. We stayed at the French Quarter RV Resort convenient because it's right off I-10 on your drive east. Loved that we could just park our TV and walk everywhere. NOTE: For us, just like Las Vegas, a couple of nights is sufficient. :) Here's the link:
French Quarter RV Resort
New Orleans Frame of Mind
From New Orleans east, the Gulf Coast State Parks will be chilly, but still nice. We're in Gulf State Park right now (mid-December). Here are some Gulf Coast state parks, you might consider:
Gulf State Park, Gulf Shores, AL
St George Island State Park Campground, near Apalachicola FL
We've heard great things about other state parks along the panhandle coastline - especially Top Sail State Park, but we've never camped there ... yet.
Farther down in the state - just south of Tampa is another park (county this time) that we REALLY want to visit, but everytime we try there are no reservations. If you decide to visit here, get reservations early! Or every Friday morning at 7 AM, they open 10% of the sites online for first come/first serve. You may be able to get a site that way (read on the website for details), but we weren't lucky this year. Next year, we'll make reservations 11 months in advance!

Enjoy your trip!
