Get the warmest bags at Walmart you can afford, and hope for better weather. Dont block all the vent at top, tho or it will turn into a shower inside. If it's 50 take at least a 30F bag as its rated to keep you alive not sleeping well at that number. Not cozy. Im linking one that claims 10F for its features, a mummy bag is easier to keep warm in that a much larger square one, less area to keep heating up. Look for a draft collar to stop air loss around the neck, use the hood, don't breathe inside the bag and have a lot of insulation under.

I love my ozark trail compression sleeping bag. It’s great for when it’s hot as balls outside camping at low elevations …..just be sure you check the weather forecast specifically at whatever elevation you’ll be camping at before your trip….. If it gets down to anything below like 45 degrees you won’t be be sleeping at all and you’ll be spending all night trying to keep the fire alive just to try and stay warm. high elevations in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia can still have cold snaps where temps will drop pretty low at night in the summer. I remember one time on roan mountain it was 75 degrees and sunny when we setup camp and we woke up to it being 15 degrees with ice and frost covering everything
Tbh a lot of the Ozark Trail stuff ain’t half bad. And in the past few years it’s been getting better
Are you backpacking? Is the weight or bulk of the gear a concern? What temperatures do you expect during your trip? Are you a side sleeper? Mummy bags are warmer but not very comfortable for side sleepers. For $100 I'd recommend the Ozark Trail brand at Walmart. It's good enough for occasional use and way cheaper than any of the premium brands.
