Where’s a cool, scenic and affordable place to visit within about 1000 miles of New Orleans?

I’m considering going on a road trip this summer from New Orleans and have a budget of about $500. Can you recommend somewhere that has cheap accommodations like perhaps campgrounds. Or maybe somewhere for a day trip only?
Actually, let’s just say anywhere not farther than 2 states distance from Louisiana.

Consider Mobile: It is about 2 hours away and has more to do than you might think. We went there over the Easter weekend and had a nice time. It will also fit within your budget and doesn’t have to be a day trip.
