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

Hickory Creek Campground is on Lewisville Lake just north of Ft Worth.You can only spend 2 weeks there, but it is a great campground with some sites on the water. We were there in May with our dog. We had a water front site with water and electric.https://www.recreation.gov/camping/hickory-creek/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=71200

You're going to have a cold winter if you don't go any farther south than Dallas!

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.

Would suggest Texas hill country, nice area to winter without going all the way South.

Well isn't that pleasant

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.

B.O.

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.

Moved from General RVing

X2 on this. Hill Country Resort and Event Center is located about 6 miles north of Medina, 20 or so miles south of Kerrville on highway 16. One of the most scenic areas of the hill country imo. Management there is great, large wooded sites. They have a lot of winter Texans that return year after year. I kept a toy hauler there for several years.
