Where to Late April early May

Thanks for all the great ideas. As of now, but that's a long way off, we're leaning toward either Charleston, SC or the state of Louisiana somewhere. The southwest and western areas are appealing, but seem to daunting. We only like to drive about 3 hours a day. State and COE are the parks we prefer, but an occasional county or municipal park can work. Lake city FL which to us, is the gateway to central FL, is about the same distance for us as to Charleston, but Lake City seems farther.
Palmetto Island SP, LA is appealing, as we were there before and really liked it, but that time of year LA and Texas seem to be very storm intense. But another factor is the park cost. SC state parks seem to range from $47 to $60 a night, on the coast. While Palmetto Island, for example is $28 and a geezer pass is reported to get you 50% off of that. Say that times 16 nights? That could buy you a lot of adult beverages! Florida panhandle has been visited to many time recently and we need a break.


Purpose is to drive from the cold weather of the midwest into sunshine. Beach not required.
Thanks all.

Map of possible route and stops.

Not recommending anything but the Last stop from personal experience, but would seem to fit into your requirements Short days - pretty drives - Nice locations - with the end result at a Warm and Beautiful spot "Hilton Head" - HHIMR - Link Nice thing about HH is the fact that it has A Wide selection of Great Restaurants, including the one at the RV park.

Did not really dig into COE and State Parks along the way but pretty sure they are all along the Route. One spot, a little out of the way is RT 64 to Lake Toxaway area out of Ashville, while the road is a little challenging in a Big Rig it is truly a Beautiful area, and should be an easy drive in your 2100.

Just adding to you many thoughts as you think about where to go - One more spot we have enjoyed is Jekyll Island So Many Choices ...................

Hope this helps,
