We just spent 2 nights at South Llano. Of the 56 occupied sites, we were one of only 2 in tents. The first night was cool and dewy, the second, down right cold.

Eat something to get your (metabolism working) before going to sleep.
Avoid drinking to much ( enough to keep hydrated) so you don't have to get up to pee at 3 am.
Get your body temp up by exercising ( yea right) or by taking a hot shower before going to sleep.
Change into fresh clothes to sleep. The clothes you've worn are slightly damp and will chill you quickly.
Sleeping bags are designed to wick away moisture better than a comforter you bring from home. Wool socks, long underwear, and a hat will help.
Close up the tent to retain heat during the day.
Campermom's best advice........bring electric blankets and a long cord! You can put the clothes you'll be wearing the next day in the bed with you so they'll be toasty warm.

The reports say it was 27 last night out there. We survived! We had a great time around the fire, drinking cocoa, and snuggling up with the kids.
