Best Route from Branson to Chattanooga

DH is checking the atlas, but unsure of best/safest route to take from Branson to Chattanooga. Those of you who know which we should take, please weigh in on this subject. Also, please inform of a campground to overnight in (in case making the trip in ine day is not do-able).

Thanks for your help,
Vickie

    Take US-65 South into Arkansas to I-40 east at Conway. After the Dickson Tn exit (172) take I-840 east to I-24 north of Murfreesboro Tn Take I-24 south oner Monteagle to Chattanooga Tn. It will take about 6 hours to get to the Memphis area. If you stop at Tom Sawyers rv in West Memphis Ar. Good spot to stop. From the Memphis area it is about 6 hours to Chattanooga Tn.

    There are 3 or more options - try mapquest. Your map may not show it, but 840 is open bypassing downtown Nashville to get from I-40 to I-24. You're looking at 575-630 estimated miles and 11 hours or more. Options include mostly interstate versus mostly 2/4 lane highways.
