Looking for RV park in OK or TX for 6 weeks this winter

DW and I would like to spend 4-6 weeks somewhere south of IA this winter. Looking at southern OK to DFW area. We'd like to find a waterfront park that is up to date and will take our 30' 5er and our two dogs. Any suggestions from readers here would be appreciated.

  • I'd go a couple hours south of Dallas towards the coast if you want a little warmer weather. I consider 60's and 70's good. Of course it will depend on what 6 weeks you want to go. We spent a nice winter in Rockport TX but even San Antonio and Austin were cold. Check out winter forecast for 2019 in about a month when it comes out. Could help you decide how far to go.
  • Another 4-5 hours and you can be far enough south to at least be in the 50s or 60s. I'd shoot for somewhere along the I-10 corridor.

    I'll take a Dallas winter over an Iowa winter anytime.
    Not by much. North Texas and Oklahoma is very prone to either freezing rain or sleet. Getting an inch of ice is much worse than any blizzard Iowa will throw at you. Even if the temperatures cooperate and you avoid the ice, 40 degrees with wind and rain isn't a day at the beach. If the goal is to replace an Iowa winter with tropical heat, the OP's plan is likely to be a complete failure. Sorry.

    Well isn't that pleasant
  • Would suggest Texas hill country, nice area to winter without going all the way South.
