We've been both routes many times between SLC & Yellowstone and the Midwest. Your idea of going out one way and back the other is a good one, as each has its own charms. I-80 is great for pioneer (crossing the Plains) historic sites, and I-90 for a few good tourist-oriented or scenic sites.

What are you looking for in a CG? My idea of "great" may not be yours. With a little more info, it would be easier to help out.

I am a solo traveler so KOA's have worked out for "safety in numbers". But I have also stayed in non-KOA's and have been fine. A dog run/park, clean and not in a terrible area of a city are probably most important. Thanks for asking! M

Cabela's headquarters are in Sidney, NB and they have a nice campground next to it. That could be a fun stop. There's also a decent campground in Rawlins, Western Hills rv park.

In June I will be heading to north central Iowa from the Salinas area of CA. I would like to take one route to and another from.

I realize that highways 80 and 90 are the big highways. I plan to stop near Lincoln, Ne.b to visit with some friends.

Any recommendations on routes and GREAT campgrounds would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

I left Alpine, Az. about 15 years ago going to north central Iowa, never had a map, just went east and then north, never used a four lane. One of the greatest trips I ever had, got there took 5 days, stopped a anthing that look of interest. That is always the best road, is the one your haven't been on before.
