The only problem I've ever had was getting enough water to rinse my hair
thoroughly. I guess I could be heating an extra gallon of water in my big
bean pot while I'm bathing.
State parks in Texas have seasonal rates as low as $7.00 a day, if you
can live without sewer and electric.
There is also a $3.00 day pass that you could use to just get a quick
shower.
All sites have water. These are Tent sites and RV sites are a little more
but I've always gotten discounts because every Park has sewer services
that are broke and they'll discount these sites down to about $8.00 from
$12.00.
I'd say get the Missouri Parks guide and see if any of the good services
parks are geographically desirable to your requirements.
You can use a 750/1500 watt Holmes electric heater and get everything pre
warmed. $19.95 WalMart.
I use a down filled sleeping bag and have awakened to 20 degree outside
temp. It takes a few minutes for frontier man to kick in but I always
manage to cook up something while the coffee is brewing.
