Nebraska Rt. 2

We are heading out to RMNP this summer in our 5th wheel, and looking into taking Nebraska Rt. 2. We already made reservations in the Neb national Forest near Halsey for a couple nights.
So I'm torn with continuing west on Rt. 2 to Alliance, then up 385 to Chadron SP, or heading north on US 83 to Valentine, then west on US 20 to Chadron SP. We'll probably book Chadron SP for 4 nights.
Looks like either way will be scenic, I'm just asking if anyone thinks one of the two plans is better than the other. Any input is appreciated.

RE: Big Bend NP

We just did this trip in November, and stayed at BJs RV park in Terlingua. It suited our needs, but it's basically a no frills place. It's a convenient place to visit the State Park & National Park. If we ever visit again, I'd consider staying there again.

RE: online campground directory ?

I didn't see Campendium mentioned. That's been my favorite for a while.
Same here, it's a great resource.
Another good one is thedyrt.com
https://www.ultimatecampgrounds.com/index.php/products/full-map is excellent as well.

RE: Bay Of Fundy / Nova Scotia

While not in Nova Scotia, Hopewell Rocks is a great place to view the tide change.
My Visit to Hopewell Rocks
Thanks!! Our original itinerary had us camping at Cape Breton Highlands -Broad Cove CG in our 5th wheel for about 5 nights, but two of those nights we'd leave the 5er behind to tent it at Meat Cove.
Unfortunately the Covid has postponed it. Canada at least has been fair in stating our Parks Canada pass will not expire until a year after this pandemic is "over." I've also read that the Maritime Provinces even have travel bans to Canadians. We've never been up there, just patiently waiting for the green light to go.

RE: Bay Of Fundy / Nova Scotia

“Ingonish Beach Campground was awesome.” X2
Have any of you gone up to Meat Cove on Cape Breton? It looks amazing too.

RE: Bay Of Fundy / Nova Scotia

We had plans to do that last summer, unfortunately the border isn't open to travelers. If they open it up, we'll use the same type of plans- Fundy National Park (Chignecto loop), Five Islands Provincial Park. Those two will give you different views, and some awesome scenery.

RE: Opinion on Resort fees

My guideline is if I'm questioning it, I avoid it.

RE: US Hwy 412 across Arkansas & Oklahoma

We've enjoyed driving 412 from Illinois west but haven't ventured on it past US 69 in Oklahoma. It's a great road, just a few slowdowns. Check out the Buffalo River National Recreation area near Harrison/Jasper Arkansas, it's really nice. A private park we like is Shady Oaks (https://camptheoaks.com/), but there's other options around of course.

RE: Omaha to Mt Rushmore route through Nebraska?

https://sandhillsjourney.com/
We are going to drive this in July 2021 on the way out west. Might as well get off the interstate and enjoy the views, something we don't mind doing at all.

RE: Memphis

Has anyone stayed at Fuller State Park?
Not us, but I have looked into it.
We just camped 4 nights at Village Creek SP in Arkansas, about 50 miles from Memphis....it was outstanding.

RE: Oklahoma State Parks

We've enjoyed our Oklahoma SP visits at Lake Wister, Roman Nose, Sequoyah, & Beavers Bend. Lake Murray SP is the best we've been too.
We have always visited in the fall, no tornado problems at all but a siren went off at Sequoyah one afternoon. I'd like to Black Mesa SP and the Wichita Mts Wildlife Refuge someday.

RE: Louisiana State Parks

We camped last week up at the Kisatchie NF (Beaver Dam near Minden) and no signs of storm damage, that area was in good shape.

RE: Recommend a campground in Missouri

Johnson Shut Ins SP will fit your rig and it's a great scenic spot.
If you insist on a private RV park, check out Big Creek RV park in Annapolis, Mo. All pull thrus, close to Johnson Shut Ins, Elephant Rocks, Ozark Scenic Riverways,and the Arcadia Valley.

RE: The Highlands

We passed through there a few years ago, nice area. We camped near Brevard, NC which was really nice, a ton of waterfalls. I'd check out Davidson River CG, it's a good one.

RE: Campgrounds around Shenandoah Valley in VA?

Found a site at Luray KOA now. Will be traveling there Nov 4. That’s the day after elections, I have some concerns about traveling the day after the elections. I don’t know what will happen after the elections. What is your thoughts?
Probably half the nation will be happy, and half upset:D
We're going to travel at that time as well, can't wait to get away from the political BS.

North Toledo Bend & South Toledo Bend State Parks Louisiana

Just wondering if anybody has camped at either, or both. I'll be in that area in November, want to spend two nights at one of them. We don't fish, so just looking at hiking, taking in scenery. I have no idea which one is better, thanks.

RE: Escaping heat next summer?

When is the bug season in northern Michigan and Wisconsin? Black flies or whatever.
May & June.
We love the UP but the last time we went, it was June & got eaten alive. I'd look at July and beyond.

RE: Campgrounds around Shenandoah Valley in VA?

I stayed at Montebello about 12 years ago. From what I remember it was nice. That is a very remote area. Don't expect cell phone service. I hope you're driving in from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Coming in from any other way is a very challenging mountain road.
Thanks for the tip. The folks at the CG mentioned that to me at booking.
I'm not too worried about the cell service. Just heading down to relax for a few days.
