St. Louis, MO heading south

Living in St. Louis we want to get away for a week of so to a warmer climate in say late Feb or early March. Beach would be nice, but not needed. Rather have nice warmer weather, pleasant campground near good food. Any suggestions? Have geezer pass and military access.
  • South Louisiana has some good food, and several good campgrounds although weather can be hit or miss. We spent the first weekend in Feb at Palmetto Island state park in south Louisiana last spring, temperatures were in the high 70's to low 80's in the daytime, and night time lows were in the 60's as I recall. Abouth once per month the local dutch oven cooking club does a demonstration with sampler lunch on Saturday's at this park. Of course we had another trip planned to east Texas a few weeks later that we cancelled as a cold front was coming through and the high's were going to be below freezing.
  • Maybe farther than you want to travel, but South Carolina has some pretty great state parks. Pick any of them, and you won't be disappointed.
