RE: Looking for best route from Mesa east to upstate NY
To avoid 6% grades, you should take my advice from your earlier post.
Interstates 10, 20, 30, 40, 65, 71 to Cleveland. That is my "snow" route to Ohio.
I'd 2nd that suggestion. We travel from Cleveland down to the Phoenix area to visit family, towing a 5th wheel.
My only other suggestion is if you're not crazy about that route, and want to branch off another way, avoid I-70. It's two lanes and can be too crowded, not very relaxing.

RE: Hwy 2 in Nebraska
How is this road from Lincoln over to I 29? Will be pulling a 36' fiver.
Sandhills Scenic Byway
Nebraska Route 2 is real real nice, a great alternative to I-80. We had a blast travelling it a couple years ago, from the Iowa border all the way up to Chadron. Floated down the river near Thedford.

RE: Tennessee/North Carolina - Cool summer weather
Waterfalls
Brevard
Check out the area near Brevard, NC "Land of Waterfalls," I bet you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for that tip. Brevard has good weather for me. There's a Walmart in the area and Planet Fitness over in Hendersonville. Do you have any recommendations on a longer term park in the area with monthly rates? I found the Land Of Waterfalls RV park for $750 per month plus electric. That looks to be typical for prices in the area. And that's a great map of the waterfalls. I like waterfalls. Who doesn't?
Honestly I'm not sure about long term-type RV parks. When we visited around 5-6 years ago, we stayed 4 nights at Black Forest Family Camping park, not sure what their policies would be on that. Maybe contact a chamber of commerce down that way. Good luck!

RE: Campgrounds along US St 36 in Kansas
I can recommend Lovewell Lake State Park as well as Prairie Dog State Park along US36. Stayed at Lovewell Lake on a trip back east headed eastbound. It's 10 miles north and 4 miles east from US 36, easy to get to with signs for directions. Lovely location on the lake amongst large cottonwood trees. Stayed at Prairie Dog SP headed back westbound to Colorado. Just a bit off the highway, there's several different loops with a variety of hookups available. Super nice SP, we stayed in a brand new loop with a great view of Keith Sebelius Lake to the south of the campground.
H E R E - KS State Parks is the website that we used to locate these state parks. No reservations made in either direction, just was able to arrive on a Sunday and get a spot with no problems. Highly recommend these state parks.
In a post above, it was mentioned about Long Branch State Park in Missouri. I can second that poster's recommendation, a great location and wonderful state park off the highway a bit, but easy to get to. Another place we stayed with no reservations. All of these trips were in mid-July time frame.
We camped at 2 Kansas state parks (Lake Scott, Wilson), & a COE park called West Rolling Hills on Milford Lake. All 3 were fantastic- Kansas seems very under rated to us, we enjoyed it.

RE: Campgrounds along US St 36 in Kansas
It's a bit south of US 36, closer to I-70, but Wilson State Park is a real gem out there. We booked 3 nights, ended up grabbing a 4th night. Just real peaceful & great views, good swimming. If you're not into state parks, near Wilson SP is a COE park called Minooka, which we visited and it looked pretty good as well.
I don't know how far along US36 you're going, but in Missouri near Macon is Long Branch SP, excellent as well. Safe travels!

RE: Has anyone camped at Willowtree RV Resort in SC?
Ruthless,
I suggest that you find out whatever RV Park Reviews is called now and get used to reading them. Some people (like me) put in the effort to write these reviews so you can have the good information.
Matt
Agree. Campendium & The Dyrt are great resources as well.

RE: Help me plan my trip! North Dakota (TRNP) & Minnesota (VNP)
Wow, we're planning a similar trip.
Regarding Voyageurs NP, I'm not crazy about the cost of this place but we booked it anyway Pines Of Kabetogama.
For TRNP North area, I'm looking at Grassy Butte. Like someone else mentioned, the north unit doesn't have a bunch of options so we'll play it by ear.
The TRNP South area, I'm looking at Sully Creek SP.
We've never been to North Dakota & the state parks look so nice. I'm sure we will also stop at Lake Sakakawea SP or Graham's Island SP on the way home.
Safe travels!!

I 2nd Kodachrome Basin SP.
Dark Sky RV Park is very very nice as well. Spent 4 nights there and it's the best private RV park we ever stayed at.

We stayed at BJs RV Park for 5 nights. Nothing special,but it was ok as a base camp. Ditto on visiting the BB State Park, it's awesome as well.

RE: RV park "STANDARDS"
I agree that reviews are a tricky thing. I found Google reviews the most questionable. IMO opionion if you want decent reviews for campgroiunds you need to go to a site that is dedicated to camping. I have read Google reviews that make me lean one way and then gone to a real camping related website and the lean was totally different.
Totally agree. There's paid bloggers out there that praise or trash any establishment, whether a campground, donut shop, or whatever. Proceed with caution there.
Campendium & The Dyrt are sites I find trustworthy for campground reviews. Not always spot on, but reliable.

RE: Need help with route north
I've received a number of recommendations from RVers to go 77 to 80, and that it isn't that bad. Opinions?
I think that's a great option. Tolls will be high, but the Turnpikes are definitely well taken care of in WV & Ohio.
We just came home from Elizabethton, TN towing our 30' 5th wheel.. Took I-81 NE to I-77 North to Cleveland. We have the EZ Pass (will save you some money on tolls).
Other Ohio options are US 30, US 224, and Ohio SR 2 if you want to avoid tolls. Obviously, it may be slower going.
Safe travels.

No money for roads, they have to pay Saban lol.
When you give up 52 points and only drop to #6 in the poll, well who cares about the roads?

RE: Need Assistance Before Check in
I've camped all over Texas, my favorites were Palo Duro SP, Caprock Canyons SP, Davis Mountains SP, & Atlanta SP. Don't know if you're heading to any of those areas, give 'em a try if you do.
