Atlanta to Lawton,Ok

Will be taking I-20 West.

I was told a good way to avoid the Dallas area is to take I-49 N to Texarkana and
then catch US 82 West.

I am going to be pulling our 28 TT. Is this a good option ? Does anyone have
a better/easier recommendation ?

Thanks
  • You can also stay on I-20 to the area of Tyler, then take US 69 North to US 82 near Bells. 69 is a good, mostly 2 lane, highway with very little traffic.

    Either should be fine.
  • We go to Lawton often. We have family there. We go from Florida but we do take I-20 to US69 to US82. If you want to avoid the I-44 toll you can take US81 north through Duncan OK and take OK Hwy 7 across to Lawton. All ok roads. There is a bypass around Duncan. If you need campground recommendations let us know.

    US 82 is a pleasant drive and totally avoids the DFW traffic and congestion. All of the ways to get up to 82 from I-20 are good.
  • Thanks for all the replies. I think I like the option of taking US 69 to 82 the best so far.

    Lonny,
    RV Parks, I would like some feedback on Buffalo Bobs RV Park in Lawton if you stayed there?
    If you have a better option I am all ears :~) Also if I leave from Shreveport how long do you
    think it will take to get to Lawton doing 60mph ?
  • I live a little south of you. When I go to Oklahoma City, I go to Birmingham and then to Memphis, TN.
