After looking around, decided to post here because, well, this is where I mostly post...

Looking for a spring break destination.
We have 9 1/2 days, figuring 4 300 mile travel days, so someplace 600 miles or less from Chicago.

We usually go to the Smoky Mountains, but last year it was cold and had snow. This winter has been 5 times worth than last.

we are a 40' DP pulling a jeep. 3 people, 3 dogs.

Any suggestions?
We really need some warmth.

If you go straight south for your 600 miles will get you just south of Memphis. Depending on the exact time of year and weather the Natchez Trace could be interesting.
There is also the Elvis tourist attractions if that interests you.

Havasu would be perfect...
A little far though.

Some really good suggestions, keep em coming.

Forgot to put in the dates, we'd leave the morning of the 22nd, have to be back on the 30th.

I must be getting old, I seem to remember spring break (and easter) were in April, and much longer than one lousy week.

If you break is near Easter. It is later this year. Should open more options.

How about Nashville? If you want to go further yet then Panama City, FL

I'm going to Charleston SC but that may be outside your driving range. It is a great place to visit.

Hot Springs Arkansas. We like Catherine's Landing RV park. Lots to do in the area. Milder weather (usually). 700-750 miles from Chicago.

We have done Memphis for spring break several times. We always have a good time there and the kids 8 and 15 actually do like going to Graceland. The zoo is really good there as well and the BBQ, well that speaks for itself.
